well, you can't deny that most women have no interest in it. All women i know including the gf just doesn't want to think about global economics, real reasons why countries are at war, bitcoin etc. Some literally say it like that, "I just don't want to think about that stuff". A bit like 'ignorance is bliss'. Majority of women is like that, so when she says they were surprised she actually had interest and knowledge about it, that's completely logical, I'd be surprised too.

That's simply true.

ya.ya.yo!

The guy creepily touching her, well that's just bad luck she had to be standing next to someone like that.

Isn't it the man/husbands job to deal with all of the finances and investments??

I don't agree with that statement, but it seem ring true.  Most gf/wifes I know could careless about finances/investments/bills and leave everything up to the husband/bf to deal with.
Though it does seem these that majority of the women I talk to are aware of Bitcoins, and know all about it.

Most of you are terrible people.

You, sir, have what is probably the most annoying avatar I have ever seen.  Well played.


It was my celebratory avatar after the last hack, however I'm stuck with it now. Heh, could be worse.

That includes not behaving like cavemen just because a woman wears a dress.

Thank you.

he who has the gold makes the rules
Calling a woman a girl is like me saying to you, "boy go get me a coffee"

Let that all sink in for a few minutes.  If you want this thing to get bigger, it aint gonna happen Animal House style...

Maybe if you also added the demanding/insulting coffee part to my statement (clearly changing the tone and meaning) , but such an insight requires understanding what makes things equitable and analogous.

That boy don't have a brain...

That girl has a nice ...

get it?

Perhaps you didn't grow up south of the Mason Dixon line...

... has anybody said "She was asking for it" yet?

Can't we let this thread die already?

Shush, this is a great thread where terrible people out themselves.


Definitely getting to see who the awkward geeks are that still worship women because they feel inadequate due to growing up with an overbearing mother.

Agreeing that the leader of a specific bitcoin meetup behaved in a rather dickish and socially inept manner during one specific occasion involving the girl who wrote the blog post is clearly the same thing as "worshipping" women in general and most likely due to psychological damage from a poor relationship with one's mother.  That, or you are a close minded person with low social awareness and a shallow understanding of the world. It's hard to say.

Why is this thread in press? This should be in politics and society. It has nothing to do with bitcoin aside from someone talking about the way they felt at a bitcoin meetup.

Um because it is an article.... /sigh  ...

Every forum or meet-up prooves a significant part of bitcoin's community lacks experience how to behave in front of a woman.

But the same can be said to a lot of engineering / informatic students. If they grow out of a stupid age most learn to deal with women, and a little part becomes frustrated women-haters.

It's a simple social mechanic. Same as in women-dominated-jobs.

No problem at all. Girls, join the meetups. You'll never felt more pretty Smiley

No, please, by all means enlighten me.
That would be like trying to explain to my aunt how to fix her computer over the phone.
That kind of remark is a disservice not only to your aunt, but to computers and phones as well. How dare you make any kind of joking remarks on this forum. You have ruffled my feathers, but I can't explain why because there is too much you don't understand and don't want to understand for me to waste time trying to explain to you or why your remarks are stupid.

Good Day, Sir/Madame.

You're right. Thank You so much for helping me realize how much my stupid remarks and political-incorrectness has tarnished bitcoin's reputation and set back its adoption for who knows how many years.
There is too much you don't understand and don't want to understand for me to waste time trying to explain to you why your remarks are stupid. That's why I skipped straight to the conclusion.

You will probably never even realize how big a disservice you're doing to Bitcoin by posting all these stuipd remarks.


Nonsense. Bitcoin doesn't care, cause it has no sex.

ya.ya.yo!
