Being American, I'm actually quite aware and frustrated, at how undeveloped the blockchain momentum is here for a number of variables. I don't like one bit that one the leaders foisted by American Media, even American crypto media, is Blythe Masters, one of the people directly responsible for the Credit Default Swaps, the underpinning scheme which annihilated the markets in 2008.
I've been reading much of this thread, and will never understand the language used that seems to be an attitude that there is some phantom obstacle keeping women away from learning about this space. I go to meetups and local conferences and mixers all the time about this stuff. I'm writing a textbook on crypto and share it with people as I go along. Most people aren't interested in what makes blockchain blockchain, they are interested in get-rich-quick schemes.
The empirical evidence is few women come to any of these events, in proportion to men, which has nothing to do with any barrier from keeping them out. It's not our problem if they don't want to sit around and talk Bayesian executions in EVM, testnets, tensor implementation, IPFS, or problem-solving how to store smart contract hashes in Mongo DB environment and being able to retrieve them successfully from clusters. Most people don't want to talk about that stuff period, but that is the interest level now in the industry; building a stable backbone to this thing. I keep hearing that this approach is not approachable for ladies; if that's true, then all I can do is point to evolutionary biology as exhibit A. Generally, men are interested in things/ideas, women are interested in people. Blockchain development is in the things/ideas phase.
