POLL:Are women leaving Bitcoin due to the Bitcoin Foundation's seedy persona?

[_Miracle]

Bitcoin is bigger than the foundation and I'm not "leaving" bitcoin for anything.

Last month I went on a first date with a woman. I brought up bitcoin and tried to explain it to her. Her response was: "Why would I use that? I'd rather just use paypal." So I explained that with bitcoin you don't have to trust third parties like paypal. She looked confused and repeated: "I'd rather just use paypal." After that I said, "Well, just use paypal then." I don't know what she said the rest of the date because, hey, why listen to someone who isn't listening to me?

Needless to say, that first date is also the last date.

Just a little story from the front lines. I have no idea how representative she is.

She didn't mention the Bitcoin Foundation.

No, because there were very few women involved in Bitcoin to begin with.

I think a lot of people are deterred because of the foundation but lots of people will still use bitcoin because ultimately the foundation doesn't have that much power.

the individual members do have a lot of sway though, as many of them have prominent roles in bitcoin's development. they are not just nobodies.

I am a male. Every psychological test I have done has identified my mind as female. Using this unique perspective I will say that the foundation was never a turn on in the first place and the current state of affairs is just as odious as before.

This makes the assumption that women were ever into Bitcoin in the first place.
