The poll options are pretty self-explanatory, I guess:
8 combinations of ethnicity/gender/age range. (order sloppily randomized)
Please don't get too hung up about the, admittedly crude, distinctions like "white" vs. "non-white", or the binary gender choice, the format of this poll doesn't allow for much nuance.
Why am I asking those questions anyway, you might wonder. Because I believe that we are now still in the early stage of the history of bitcoin in which the wealth distribution is (largely) determined. This phase won't last forever, however. And if bitcoin is anywhere near as successful as many here think it is, bitcoin wealth distribution will eventually become general wealth distribution.
Maybe you can see why I would wonder then, what is the composition of our little group of early investors, speculators and adopters. I have a pretty big hunch what the result will look like, but I'm ready to be surprised.
Thanks for participating, by the way.

Interesting poll. I would have guessed white male between 20-49 ofcourse dominant, but it seems very dominant, confirming we are still in very early adopter phase.

Total 7 women, that's 10%, not bad. Unless some of them are fat guys living in their parents' basement. If someone wonders why I have a teddy-bear as avatar, it's because I'm a bear and many women perceived me as a teddy-bear.

Sometimes, if it looks too bullish, it's actually bearish

Interesting that for men there is a clear dominance of the 20-49 age range, but for women it is reversed.

That poll confused me so much I clicked on the wrong option >_< organise it better!
should be stuff like:
20 - 29 - White/Male
30 - 39 - White/Male
40 - 49 - White/Male
20 - 29 - White/Female
30 - 39 - White/Female
40 - 49 - White/Female
Oh no, my programming learning has started to infest my posts >_< now I need to correct other peoples formatting on top of their grammar and spelling! I'm a white male in the 20's by the way.

It would be easier to read if they were not randomized. What is the point of randomizing the options?

So, everyone who deals with btc is white? I didn't know the Bitcoin Foundation was just a chapter of the KKK.... Though, being as forgiving as I am, I'll consider it just a mistake that you forgot non-whites.

It would be easier to read if they were not randomized. What is the point of randomizing the options? The point is that there's an obvious answer (male, white, 20-49), but I didn't want the results skewed by the fact that I would order the options by their likely final ordering already.
