If we want to go down that route of male vs female, i. e. a very binary world view, I’d have to disagree.
No male is capable of inventing this kind of revolution and then just walk away.
Men usually need a lot of confirmation, ego boost ;)
In my story ₿ was birthed by a woman. It is such a holistic concept (not just technology) only women are capable of. 💥
Just stirring the bull here :D
I like your story too. That’s an awesome point about not hanging around for the accolades. I guess we will probably never know. We all carry both the masculine and the feminine in us, to differing degrees. Generally speaking I think we can agree that a woman typically bears more feminine traits and a man typically bears more masculine ones. Looking back at the history of how we finally arrived at bitcoin, its predecessors were all invented by men, if I’m not mistaken. Looking at the names of current core developers, it is very male dominated. I would love the inventor of bitcoin to be a woman. So I’d love you to be right. My gut feeling however tells me …..!
Indeed we’ll never know - just as well.
But: in the (early) internet everyone could be a dog.
There were very capable women in the hacker spaces then and there are very capable female devs now.
And: history is written by men for men.
e.g. it took (women) forever to dig out Ada Lovelace for her phenomenal role in computing history.

Also, don’t underestimate your own extremely powerful role in founding and shaping the LFO movement - while working for a tech company and working for ₿ policy on an international level.
You are a force of nature!
Thank you.
