#Bitcoin Slay Queen.
This one was really, really good. She's so right in so much of it. There has to be more women in Bitcoin and to her point, it has nothing to do with being woke or human.
In slight defense of Saylor, I spent 35 years in BI as my profession, using a competing product to MSTR. I have known of Saylor my entire career and followed him. To me, his motivation is deep seeded, beyond Bitcoin. He knows how important BI is to companies but no one respects the software at all. It's not easy. I know what keeps him up at night on that side of the business.
This is BI revenge. Respect is going to follow Saylor massively after decades of being ignored and perceived as irrelevant or old.
However, Rachel is right, we need more women like her on stage at the Bitcoin only events, in BI I think I can count on one hand the number of BI coders who were female I worked with. She's so right on raising children, tough job, but Bitcoin is frustrating enough as a man, I still can't imagine how she feels.
After a month in Germany, France, Switzerland, I really want to listen more to the European voices, yours, hers. I feel Europe is way behind when it comes to Bitcoin and we can learn a lot from the people like you out there building in Bitcoin.
Thanks for this episode. The Echo Chamber is getting really old on X/BTC envents with all the low effort/engagement farming posts or crappy presentations where even the Bitcoiners are bored. They always say 'the side events', conversations, parties is where the magic happens.
I believe it.
