Initial thoughts on Vivek Ramaswamy running for 🇺🇸 President in 2024?
Seems sharp at a glance.
Ah ok, must be a Damus thing then at this time.

Learned #babechain is a thing today… now we’re getting somewhere!
Fair. I hold some positions because they’re low entry point and have laser focus on long term BTC holdings strategy. When looking at the last bull run the multipliers are potentially 10x+, so thinking another bull run could have a similar effect… and if not nbd due to the low entry 🤷🏼♂️ NFA🫡
Appreciate the thought behind this response Alex. It reveals some blind spots that I’ll have to research further 🤙🏻
Fair enough. Can we switch gears then and elaborate on Metcalfe’s law having nothing to do with Bitcoin? First I’ve heard this.
Varying points of opinion is another good reason we need more #women in Bitcoin. 🤔
Not yet, but want to follow this note to see if anyone shares best practices on relays.
I’m not saying there aren’t a great groups of gals doing fantastic stuff, that there aren’t already female users, or that the work they do isn’t inspiring or serving as role models for other #women…
I’m only stating there are MUCH fewer of them than men. And that’s a problem because we’re slowing the Metcalfe’s Law network effects curve by having vast under-utilization of 50% of the global population. So there is work to do.
And when I used the term governance it was too loosely. I wasn’t referring to Bitcoin’s network governance specifically… I understand nodes and miners are machines and not people (even though those nodes are run primarily by men I would bet). Rather I was talking about governance in general… ex: corporate executives, business owners, public officials, etc (more women over the years, but still majority male)
#[2] do you think it’s not a problem? And if so curious why?
Network effects for starters.
Show me one successful network or governance structure that is better by being vast majority men.
I don’t see the problem as barrier of entry per say.
And I don’t have a well researched thesis on this, just empirical evidence from a few meetups I’ve attended in person and years on Bitcoin Twitter.
That’s a great idea!
I’m just starting the journey and open to any pointers!
It dawned on me last night at Denver BitDevs that we had 30 men and 2 women in the room learning Bitcoin… and that’s a problem.
It took time for more female engineers to enter the workplace but it’s become much more commonplace and I’ve worked with incredible female engineers over the years.
Yes, but has she been zapped by a stranger?
Not trying to be crude, I seriously think if more spouses received non-spouse zaps ⚡️ their eyes and minds would open to new possibilities.
Currently I’m the sole contributor for:
- #women
- #womenofnostr
- #nostrwomen
- #womenofbitcoin
- #bitcoinwomen
And that’s a problem for us all.
If you get her to join, I’ll send her some sats right back… and I think it may click.
It did for me, as a smelly bearded IT loving dude.
But everyone likes getting zapped!
