Introvert does not imply nerd

(although this is usually true the other way around).

Nerd is an insulting term with only negative aspects. For some reason intelligent introvert people started accepting being called it and treating it as some sort of compliment. This is silly; it's an insult.

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

I'd be careful with the use of "social skills"... more often then not its a sociocentric platitude used to justify government indoctrination. Social health should be viewed through the lens of a child's individual temperament. This is where the non-aggression principle applies to parenting... if your kid is an introvert don't force them to be an extrovert

If you want to walk on water, get out of the boat

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? That is a question feminists should answer Roll Eyes

Ladies usually have a way of securing men's wealth.

... make more lady nerds. If your happen to actually find and marry a lady, it is your duty to have daughters and raise them as nerds!

i have done this, two lady nerds are in the pipeline, hoping at least the younger one evolves all the way to FULL GEEK status

there are many ladies in finance and computing industries. but they know from experience most of these nerd conventions end up as being a bunch of guys hounding them and trying to act smart, thinking they can get into the girls pants because she has similar interests.

most women don't want to be hounded at such events, they go there for the professional reasons of learning the economy. most guys though at first go there for the same reason, but due to the fact that most nerds are single.. it soon changes to a mood of chasing girls.

Couldn't agree more... this was more or less my experience at the conference. Bitcoin does not require heavy knowledge of computers though. I got into it because of the finance/politics of it, and I'm learning about the technical stuff as I go.

I like the advice of having daughters and raising them to be nerds. I'd say as long as you keep them out of the public school system they'll be fine Tongue

i have been to such conferences and seen times where one girl had like 7 guys circled around her. atfirst i thought she was a Rep of a business. but after listening in for just 20 seconds i soon learnt the conversations were more 'speed date' conversations... poor lass, one sight of cleavage and BTC transforms to the immature cavemen drawing of boobs and no longer bitcoin

It's a simple formula, really.
Bitcoin requires heavy knowledge of computers
Knowledge of computers requires nerds.
Male nerds > Female nerds.

If you want more ladies to be involved in Bitcoin at this early stage (or in Linux, or in a multitude of computer games and other software), make more lady nerds. If you happen to actually find and marry a lady, it is your duty to have daughters and raise them as nerds!

I went to some bitcoin gatherings in NYC in the past few weeks. There were like 40+ people there discussing all aspects of bitcoin. To my surprise, only two ladies were present and one of them was the girlfriend of some guy there. She had no knowledge of bitcoin. I'm not sure whether this is common in bitcoin world but I guess ladies are not as familiar with bitcoin stuff as men are now.

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?
