there are many ladies in finance and computing industries. but they know from experience most of these nerd conventions end up as being a bunch of guys hounding them and trying to act smart, thinking they can get into the girls pants because she has similar interests.

most women don't want to be hounded at such events, they go there for the professional reasons of learning the economy. most guys though at first go there for the same reason, but due to the fact that most nerds are single.. it soon changes to a mood of chasing girls.

Couldn't agree more... this was more or less my experience at the conference. Bitcoin does not require heavy knowledge of computers though. I got into it because of the finance/politics of it, and I'm learning about the technical stuff as I go.

I like the advice of having daughters and raising them to be nerds. I'd say as long as you keep them out of the public school system they'll be fine Tongue
