No woman is going to explicitly choose to utilize one currency over another because of its name. That's just absurd.


I disagree 100%. But with the caveat that I don't limit this statement to women (which, yes, is stupid and sexist). But people ABSOLUTELY choose coins based on the name/branding alone.

For a non-technical person, what else is there?

I, for one, think DMD has massive potential based on this alone, but it will be slow going.

Sounds like you disagree with me less than 100% then.
Certainly, I agree that many make decisions based upon a name --
but to say that DMD will succeed with women for that reason is retarded.

Cryptocurrency in general is failing to attract even the percentage of female proponents that would be expected considering their numbers in the tech and financial industries. (http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/bitcoin-needs-women)

DMD may very well have 'massive potential', but the statements made by digicoin and promoted by gmg aren't helping it reach that potential. If anything they're hurting not only DMD but cryptocurrency in general.
