I'll be honest, I am embarrassed to read DASH had a bikini girl at the latest conference.
Who ever made that decision should think about perception. I did not invest in shooters coin.

Agreed, as much as I like hot bikini girls....it didn't fit. Maybe she made a few people look though.

I didn't see anything like that in any if the photos of the booth. I can't imagine that being sanctioned by the development team. I would want to see proof of this. I saw pictures of their spouses in respectable attire only.

Someone's twitter showed her.

It was definitely not official. A community member took it upon himself to get this girl and have her hang out by the booth. It was quickly dealt with by conference staff, and other team members. Dash doesn't need to do these things, our innovation will do the talking.

EDIT: Here's the tweet in question:

I don't buy your assessment of the situation, are you an official information source who speaks on behalf of the DASH team?
Please take this down Tao, You are essentially spreading the FUD by posting that.

Aw, come on, one of our community members who lives in the area, who I won't name, brought his friend in who wore the bathing suit. If you knew him, it's perfectly within his character, LOL. The conference people did not approve and had her leave. I don't think it lasted very long at all, and he's had his ears full of scolding off threads, so that's the end of that, and it's not really that big a deal, other than we didn't get a good picture of her Tongue

(I'm an old lady, and I'm not offended) They've used pretty girls in bikinis all my life to sell cars, so what the heck is it with everyone getting so damn prude in Miami of all places? Whatever...!

It was great, just like everything that DASH does. I loved it when I saw what happened because, at least, it was a genius marketing move. As you have said "what the heck is it with everyone getting so damn prude in Miami of all places?". But that's one of the main characteristics of DASH: being non conformist to hypocrytical and sheep standards.

You are right, I don't know him. But I'm not likely to invest off the back of something he says or does either. I may formulate opinions based on what Andreas Antonopoulos says however. Which is how in the case I found out about the Bikini by the DASH machine.

Heres a study showing the negative impact on perception based on sex in advertising.

I've said my piece now, keep fighting the good fight.
