Up until Steemit launched basically the entire crypto currency ecosystem was a bunch of 16-60 year old male neckbeards sitting around gambling, watching porn and selling drugs.

I'm not even making this up! If you look at the entire crypto currency timeline the amount of boobs worn by it's users was damn near immeasurable. Simply put: Crypto had NO Women.

Now, flash forward to the current. Check out the trending posts (not steemsports) and what you notice is we've actually got a whole bunch of women posting and being successful in our community. That is damn awesome considering I came from the bitcoin community where very few if any actual females were actively taking part in it.

GIRL POWER

One massive thing that sticks out in my mind given the fact our community has nearly as many female as male posts is this... This is an AMAZING sign for adoption. Where as in the past crypto currency was mostly used amongst nerdy men in a new era ushered in by STEEM we're seeing real participation from the XX chromosome.

Women love STEEM. This is a great indicator of future success of the platform! Roughly half the population is female on this planet, the very fact that they are showing some interest in this platform speaks volumes when compared to crypto currency that came before it.

Women use the internet nearly as much as men. Women use STEEM nearly as much as men.. I'm no scientist by any means but I think this is likely a good thing! Steem on Ladies!
