Why Do We Really Need Women in Blockchain?
In a recent podcast, the subject of increasing participation levels of women in blockchain came up, a goal for which I expressed enthusiastic support. However, I received some comments pushing back against this idea. It seems as though not everyone is completely sold on the idea of explicitly targeting the female demographic for inclusion into the cryptoverse. As such, I might as well explain more thoroughly why I think we need women in blockchain.I don't think blockchain tech is only for specific gender than why we specially tag this with any gender? This is very confusing article from my point of view. It is against the nature of blockchain which allows everyone to use this without any restriction and limit.
Just take a look at the comments in this budget proposal, which has the goal to promote Dash with focusing on women as consumers and potential Dash users :
https://www.dashcentral.org/p/women_in_dashThis indicates to me that Dash (and other cryptoprojects, as the women-unfriendly sentiment found in those comments are pretty much echoed throughout the cryptoscene) is currently not gender neutral and
that Dash is missing out on reaching a very large demographic targetgroup.
In any advertising / marketing campaign its pretty normal to focus on a specific gender or specific age group in order to reach a specified target population, even in election voting campaigns that is the case.
These advertising / marketing campaigns are not seen as starting some kind of new feminist wave or advancing certain age groups, they are just ment to reach their intended target group more effectively and are regnoniced as such.
Maybe its time that Dash does the same, in order to increase its number of users and increase its usage.
