I only just heard about this and all I can think is "Seriously??"

The fact that there aren't more women speakers - OK that's sort of understandable - if there's only 2% women in the crypto space then of course there's also only 2% women speakers.

But to do the main event at a strip club???

I have zero judgment about strippers but it's a fact that strip clubs are targeted to men, and if you hold an event there you exclude a big part of your audience.

I can totally imagine that many women didn't sign up to the conference in the first place, or skipped this particular event (in fact I know that for sure) - which could otherwise have helped integrate them more.

Big Fauxpas. Especially for Dash, who sponsored the event. The same Organisation that I'm so proud being a part of and that sponsors me to do outreach and crypto education for women entrepreneurs.

I do trust the Dash people are conscious enough to not make this mistake again.
