And what does he suggest we do about this exactly? Force women to get involved? It's not men's fault that women aren't getting on board but there are more than you might think but this will change over time but all we can do is keep spreading the word to everyone regardless of gender.

Male domination didn't stop Linux, or the Internet, or every other technology, and it will not stop bitcoin.

This is exactly what I was going to say. You could put many sports like football with that as well. I think most women will likely just be treated equally in the bitcoinsphere as gender is irrelevant but of course there are fewer women involved as there are with most new technology. More and more will get involved as time goes on as well.

That is total Bullshit.  Angry

I have attended several Bitcoin meetups, where females were treated as equels.. They were not dancing naked on tables. Several of my female friends are into Bitcoin and none of them, had to fill in some gender document to open a wallet at any service provider.

Bitcoin makes no distinction between race or gender... it's just a currency being used by millions of people.

If you look at ANY of my previous posts, where I refer to Satoshi... I include the following ... Him/her or it. For what we know, Satoshi might even be a women.  Wink

Felix can now go tell his wife, he obeyed her orders and wrote feminist FUD on Bitcoin.  Grin Grin

Why Bitcoin’s male domination will be its downfall

If you are a woman involved with Bitcoin, you are invariably going to get treated like an outsider. As Victoria Turk says, “it seems that the only Bitcoin community that particularly welcomes female participation is the NSFW subreddit r/GirlsGoneBitcoin”, which is basically a site where women get paid in cryptocurrency to pose nude.
