And you're an expert at poorly veiled passive-aggressive accusations of racism towards people you disagree with, are you a news anchor?
hahahaa, no, no, noooo this isn't about me hahahahaha
you dig a hole, then cry and lash out when a passerby points it out ... enjoy your hole
you get the last word
Guys, as much as i love the ongoing conversation here, it was really just a total Trollpost that I've made yesterday when I was bored in office, (same as today). To lift my spirits, I figured, I fuck with you a little. Some lines that I brought should have tipped you of though.
"Modems virtually scared the Women away from the internet, made strange noises and just did not feel right. Why should a Woman have to wait for Internets, feeling uncomfortable and scared by those strange noises?" Really?
When I wrote this, I thought about a cat that has no idea what is going on, sitting there, staring at a working printer which its wonderful big beautiful uncomprehending eyes. Look it up on youtube - Cats and Printers. Its Hilliarious. But while it was a Trollpost, which i very much enjoyed writing, nearly shat myself - I am utterly convinced that there is no room for feminism in Bitcoin. Simply because there is nothing that feminsm could or would have to fight. There is no inequality. If there is any fair currency, its fucking Bitcoin. Every woman can get into Crytpocurreny and Bitcoin as she pleases. Some Women do, most don't. That is it. There is enough room for Women though and it would be a good thing if they'd join us in masses! They won't.

"There is no inequality. If there is any fair currency, its fucking Bitcoin."
rotfl, sure. what a fair currency! only the ones who have actual funds are able to mine bitcoins with hardware, or just buy it with fiat. and its deflationary so the rich guys will get even richer over time, contrary to how it works with the inflationary fiat...sure, there is NO inequality in bitcoin, everyone just has the same and its the most fair currency. i LOLed alot.
I am both a woman, and deeply passionate about Bitcoin. I am an early adopter, and self-taught. I read the whitepaper, and thought to myself, "This is an excellent investment opportunity." I did the rest on my own. For the past 2+ years, it has been ME preaching about the wonders of the protocol to anyone who would listen. I don't have any background in programming or math, but I am smart enough to identify a revolutionary technology when I see it.
My point is, I have a vagina between my legs, and I am not ugly, fat, socially awkward, or stupid. I'm also tired of having to say that in order to qualify myself as a successful member of society on internet forums. I'm sure someone will reply "Tits or gtfo" to this post, which is exactly the pervasive attitude problem I seek to address.
While OP purported to voice something resembling a worthwhile sentiment about bringing women into the BTC community, the above quotes are foolish marginalizations that do not reflect the wisdom that this community will need to stand up to the major government opposition that is likely coming. I doubt that someone like Roger Ver or Marc Andreessen is chortling behind a computer screen at their taunting of the few women who actually show themselves around here. Sure, female BTCers are a rare breed at the moment. Sure, my comment history indicates an initial unfamiliarity with how transactions are broadcast. (How else would you expect someone self-taught to learn?) But I would bet that there were even fewer women nerding around the fledgling internet in 1995. A critical first step towards getting more women into the community is to BE NICE to us, and that means not making blanket assumptions. Just because your ex-girlfriend is a shopaholic doesn't mean I am.
The question has been raised as to why women seem to be uninterested in cryptocurrency. In my experience a lot of men aren't interested in it, either. Every time I hang out with my boyfriend, he listens to me go on for at least 10 minutes about how awesome Bitcoin is. Then I encourage him to buy some, and he says, "That sounds like too much work. I'll never remember all those passwords. I don't get it." He's a smart guy. He just doesn't want to put the effort in to understand it. It drives me crazy. I only have one other male friend who really knows what Bitcoin is, and he doesn't own any. Does that mean that men aren't interested in Bitcoin? Obviously not.
Anecdotal evidence aside, during this emergence of cryptocurrency, it's really about what people are made out of. Do they have enough faith in their intellect to study a new financial instrument? Are they technically savvy enough to protect themselves against being hacked? Do they have the discipline to not spend more than what they can afford to lose? Will they panic-sell the moment there are thunderclouds on the horizon? All of these qualities are gender-neutral.
I am holding on long-term to the roller coaster here. I have done my homework. I am confident. And if I'm wrong, I'll be ok.

Now we have to realize that a Woman will never bother to buy a coin, because that is nerdy and Women don't like nerdy.

No Woman hoards money. They will spend it as fast as they can, thus finally giving Bitcoin the possibility to be a real currency.

As of yet you will have to help a Woman to make a transaction with Bitcoin every time, because they can't be bothered learning how to do it, be it one transaction, be it 1000. You'll alwasy start at step one. Bitcoin-Transactions are just something no Woman wants (or should have) to learn, because she really has other concerns, like dressing nice and going to the Prom and be an actress.

(1) The following statement is true:
Women ≠ Men
(2) The following statements are false:
Men > Women
Women > Men
(3) Anyone who refutes (1) and/or (2) is a fucking retard.

Don't expect most people to understand what you just said. But yes absolutely true, but doesn't work for people who are only capable of black and white thinking.
lol don't ask me, I'm just reverse trolling 
the hell?

inb4 people try to imply I'm a racist or racist trolls come onto the thread
it's all the fucking same really, if you want to treat people equally it's down to just leaving them alone to make their own decisions and not constantly trying to manage their lives >_<

We need more athletes in Bitcoin.
Why? I have no idea. It is a group that does not have as many Bitcoin users as another group.

It is right, what the Woman-Reporter said. Women do buy lots of stuff, they spend so fucking much money. But they like things to be easy and smooth and to sparkle. It MUST not be complicated, it must not be necessary to think about what you're doing and it must not feel nerdy or creepy, but super-awesome.
The fuck? You do realise Bitcoin by it's very nature is something quite complicated right? If women can figure out how to use ATM's and Credit Cards or operate bank accounts themselves then they can figure out how to use Bitcoin, in fact using Bitcoin by itself is pretty damn easy once you get the hang of it, it's just a matter of using some common sense and doing research. I hope this is a troll but I'm finding it pretty ironic that in your very lengthy rant you not only passively attack the people you want to change things but also make some sexist comments towards women as well.
This is precisely why I hate feminism, if girls don't want to be involved in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies that's their fucking choice, some girls may actually want to be girly, that's what equality is, you leave people the fuck alone to make their own choices rather than try to manage their lives from a board room. This reminds me an awful lot of the I.T industry etc. where you'll have companies who will hire a woman the second they get to make themselves look good just because she is a woman rather than actually looking what skills she has, as long as she can spell things like 'computer' it's all good because hiring people because of their ethnicity/gender or putting them into a social group is a great way to show how much you respect equal rights.
can't say I didn't see that coming down the line
.
are there any female miners?
That's like asking if there is any male miners of course there is.
no, it's not like asking 'if there are any male miners'
The implication of the question: "are there any female miners?" is 'I know there must be some, but is the number so low that they are practically non-existent'?
that same claim cannot be presumed for men.
I"ll go out on a limb and say 99+% of the miners are male, I'll go out on a further limb and say there are more male minors below the age of 18 than female miners of any age.
Thats really great to hear
