Topic: What should the government do to make women start using Bitcoin? - page 3. (Read 3712 times)

We should spank their bare asses.

Definitely go with the gulag, forced labor is becoming trendy again. Or perhaps it never went out of style in the first place, but we failed to notice.

I don't think penalties are a good thing. The next politician could intruduce the same thing with his scam coin instead.

It's better to reward buyers with discounts instead.

Maybe the government can force the "Bitcoin CEO" to stop checking IDs of people who want to get involved in bitcoin?  :-)

That's very progressive of you, I am sure the ladies will appreciate the effort to empower women.

Only over 10% of the female population? That would mean that law enforcement is extremely ineffective. I expect 98% at least! Maybe we should put those few existing Bitcoin gals in charge of the prosecution. They will know all the hideouts. In addition we make a positive impression by empowering women.

ya.ya.yo!

That sounds kinda awesome if you think about it.




Bitcoin Gladiators, someone make this happen!

Personally I voted forthe gulag. Make them solve hashes by hand until they collectively earn enough btc to buy their freedom.

Definitely a gas chamber. I think women using bitcoin would increase to over 10% of the female population if that happened. Though I would be in favor of more extreme methods like gladiator combat.

Why should there be any punishment. And Govt are not doing enough to make men using bitcoin let alone the women. I think online dating sites should start using Bitcoin.

Well that is true.
Good looks & desire for money can go a long way

Much like most self made billionaires are men.
I suppose women aren't as innovative & money intelligent as men so it's an obvious stat really.

Think there aren't women in bitcoin? Think again.

Why do we always need to bring gender and race and politics and religion into things, that has no discriminator built into it's protocol?

Satoshi never mention any of that in the white paper, so let's keep away from Bitcoin.     

The article hints at how Bitcoin is similar to how the Internet was in the late 1980's but then it goes the completely opposite way and ignores the exact same forces which helped shape the Internet into what it is today. Bitcoin is complex. Bitcoin is technical. These are valid concerns and obstacles to mainstream adoption but they are not insurmountable. Fundamentally speaking, the Internet today isn't that much different from the Internet of the 1980's but now we have services built on top of it which appeal to both men and women. The technologies underlying the Internet stayed mostly the same on a purely protocol level but businesses saw the potential of the technology and built services around it therefore making it what it is today.

The blockchain technology is good. It's the services that haven't caught up yet. Women currently outnumber men in social networking sites (60% vs. 40%) and the gender distribution of men and women is now almost equal in the wider Internet (47% vs. 53%). If Bitcoin is to achieve widespread adoption, then it must first become more accessible and user friendly. If the technology does turn out to offer concrete benefits over established methods then we should see adoption continue to rise as services adopt the technology and as a result, shed much of its speculative nature and political connotations. Bitcoin will become more and more like the Internet today (or even more like fiat in the sense that it will be equally ubiquitous*) while still retaining its decentralized qualities.

*When implemented correctly, Bitcoin will be on par with debit cards in terms of convenience.

Obligate all shoe stores to only accept BTC.

More effective than anything else

Maybe we should just tell the article writer to open some frilly lady's fashion store in an upscale mall that takes Bitcoin?

A fine, which paradoxically, can only be paid with BTC, so once women acquire BTC to pay the fine, they are instantly exonerated from having to pay it.

The retail part is where bitcoin is currently lagging. You can see pubs or even restaurant but i don't think I've come across shops selling women's accessories accepting bitcoin for that matter. That is where all the shopping and spending take place like paying for beauty products, clothes, handbags, make-up items, handbags and stuff like that. What we can do is to have at least one of these shops accepting bitcoin and there is where exposure begins.

That makes sense!
