Nerds do "have a chance"...  intelligence is attractive and females are far less visual then males when it comes to choosing a mate.  But this...

I mean, if Ravin Tavin was hanging out at a bitcoin conference, I certainly wouldn't be paying heed to some pasty basement nerd droning on about cryptography...I'd be leering at her and imagining dem titties bouncin' in ma face!

... is probably why Bitcoin is still a boys club

She takes her clothes off for bitcoin, you twat. It's all about context, my man. Were she there in business attire lecturing about emerging crypto-algorithms, I'd be paying attention to something else.

That and she is just fucking staggeringly beautiful. If you aren't paying attention to women like that, you are just a neutered friggin' husk of a human.

Context is important...   like knowing when you're replying to a male or a female in a thread post...   my man Wink

So as a woman, you think it is sexist for me to ogle a woman who is literally employed by that very action? Seems natural on my part, and empowering on her part. Enjoying human beauty is not something that is restricted to men. My old lady likes vagina just as much as I do, and she'll be checking out the hot women and the room right along with me. Is that sexist, too?

If you re-read my comments you'll realize I never called you sexist...  the gay guy did Smiley  As a complementarian I could care less about pointing out or dwelling on sexism.  I did, however, make an objective observation as to why there could be a gender disparity which is still relevant.  Your lady sounds lovely, but discretion has its benefits as well (think lady in the streets freak in the sheets)

So if men continue to buy and hoard bitcoins, someday in the future when bitcoin becomes mainstream, will this re-allocate wealth totally as men on average are wealthier than ladies?

Assuming that most men who buy/mine/earn Bitcoin are single is pretty naive in my mind. There are plenty of couples who are mutually invested, and I would venture to guess a fair percentage of the men there had significant others at home who are just as savvy and involved with Bitcoin. We should be encouraging more women to attend these Bitcoin get-togethers, and as long as the Neft Booth girls are around, I don't think we'll have a problem with nerd-herding around the chicks Wink Bitcoin2013 was a BLAST and I can't wait for next year.

I don't know whether to say TMI or tell me more. This is a very interesting forum.

Nothing stop women to come and learn about bitcoin, how it works, use it etcetc. On the internet, gender does not matter.

Why they aren't interested?

They are interested in everything by default but you people are approaching them the wrong way.

Nerd does not imply intelligence, just lack of social skills. Please don't raise people to have low social skills.

I think we could safely say that nerds in bitcoin community imply intelligence.

Was thinking, "yeah, that statement was a bit sexist," but then remembered that I was really enjoying the views at Bitcoin 2013 too. Those Norwegian guys were hot! Avalon Yifu was cute, too; just a smiley ball of bouncy positive energy!  Cheesy

From my experience with many different types of nerd-dom, I'd say nerd implies aquiring knowledge/intelligence at the expense of social skills. I.e. screw building social skills, going out to social meets, and interacting. I'd rather stay home and read/watch Star Trek/do Bitcoin stuff.

This psyche actually has nothing to do with bitcoin in particular. Go to any industry conference and you'll see the exact same thing. I will be at E3 this month for work, and the overwhelming majority of women there will either be models paid to be there, or girlfriends getting dragged along. The same goes for the aquaria conferences I present at...95% men, with a few girlfriends and the inevitable one skirt that's actually into it, getting swarmed by nerds thinking they've got a chance.

words are only insulting if used in an insulting way..

like the N(nigerian) word.

which inside the culteral circle translates loosely to the term Bro.

but if person not from the same neighbourhood/culture used it. they are obviously not close enough to refer to each other as bro. then using the N word would be considered a insult.

so wear the nerd badge with honour if your skills from being a nerd make you wealthy. but do take an offence if called a basement dwelling nerd with no hope of success

Well now you're just forcing your definition of nerd on others...  we should probably start talking about the evolution of language now Wink
