Re: Shame on CoinDesk - This is why women don't use Bitcoin
This is a photograph published by CoinDesk today:
In this panel, the entire worth and contribution from the only women - is represented by her shoes. While they are nice shoes, they clearly cut the only female out of the story and quite disrespectfully left a mere tiny slice of her representation.
Shameful. It is no wonder women don't feel welcome in this group.

you're being sensationalist here! there were women represented at the conference - (i was there, and saw they were well represented). there were several talks with women on the panel. One talk even had Majority women on the panel and the moderator actually called it out as a good conference for diversity.
its a fact of life in tech that women are under represented, but you're reading too much into that particular slide, as there were plenty of talks with women represented, and actually, i felt there we were going in the right direction as there were significantly more women at the conference this year than last year.
could coindesk have picked a better photo (or cropped this one better)? probably. but your point is unfounded and you're off base.
