This makes the assumption that women were ever into Bitcoin in the first place.

I am a male. Every psychological test I have done has identified my mind as female. Using this unique perspective I will say that the foundation was never a turn on in the first place and the current state of affairs is just as odious as before.

the individual members do have a lot of sway though, as many of them have prominent roles in bitcoin's development. they are not just nobodies.

I think a lot of people are deterred because of the foundation but lots of people will still use bitcoin because ultimately the foundation doesn't have that much power.

No, because there were very few women involved in Bitcoin to begin with.

Last month I went on a first date with a woman. I brought up bitcoin and tried to explain it to her. Her response was: "Why would I use that? I'd rather just use paypal." So I explained that with bitcoin you don't have to trust third parties like paypal. She looked confused and repeated: "I'd rather just use paypal." After that I said, "Well, just use paypal then." I don't know what she said the rest of the date because, hey, why listen to someone who isn't listening to me?
Needless to say, that first date is also the last date.
Just a little story from the front lines. I have no idea how representative she is.
She didn't mention the Bitcoin Foundation.

Bitcoin is bigger than the foundation and I'm not "leaving" bitcoin for anything.

The poll and the thread title don't really match up. Leaving Bitcoin and leaving the foundation are entirely 2 different things.

I don't understand this topic, why would anyone leave Bitcoin because of the Foundation? They are a just a small club, bunch of geeks playing in their sandbox, who think they can govern BTC. Most of the Bitcoin community doesn't give a shit about those self proclaimed elitists.

I tried getting friends, family, and people i know to buy BTC. Most aren't interested. Most already have an opinion formed before doing any research. Any negative btc news and people PM me. I feel people are trying to knock me down and tell me that I am on the wrong side of the fence and they are right. Now girls can't stand risk. They want a sure thing and it doesn't surprise me that they don't want to get involved. I guess everybody wants a sure thing without losing money. I am learning to not offer any investment advice.

what a worthlss poll.
there is no way of getting results of female opinion from an anonymous poll.
its not just about not being able to tll which vote was from a female, it also the question itself. why does women mean so much to who leaves.
it seems to me the OP wants women to be in bitcoin as thats the only way he has something in common with a female, to be able to make a conversation with them. and thus he is worried the chances of getting a girlfriend are decreasing.
it seems to me as another possibility that somehow he thinks that if women leave bitcoin he cannot then spend bitcoins on those sexcam websites as he thinks there are only a few females using bitcoin and most are in the sex industry.
in short why even ask a gender question in a genderless economy??
you might as well line 5 snails up and have a finish line 5 inches in front of them and say the first snail to get to the finish line shows that females do not like bitcoin. the result is statistically meaningless

Well women usually dont get attracted to btc. most of them think that its too geeky and i ve pissed a lot of women by talking to them about bitcoin. :p

Bitcoin Foundation is not Bitcoin.
Just as Mark Karpeles (GOX) was on the board of the bitcoin foundation, that should not sway people's opinions on Bitcoin itself.

I know women who use Bitcoin and Alternates.

i don't see how the bitcoin fundation's issues are related to women in any way. asking "are people leaving due to bitcoin foundation's seed persona" sounds more fitting.

1% or less of this forum are women, the internet is owned by men!
j/k
You should ask them directly, maybe by pm?

Friggin FINALLY, I am the 1%!!!
Hang in there we cannot afford to lose you.
The POLL is hinting that we have a 50% chance of retaining women here.Half the votes (all yesses) are bs...no woman who has a sense of self is going to be run off by cockfighting amongst the btc foundation...
