>By now you've probably heard of Bitcoin's meteoric rise in 2017. Maybe it got you thinking that you might want to be a Bitcoin millionaire yourself? Easy, right? Just head over to the local 7Eleven and buy a few Bitcoins and sock them away so you might have something to bequeath to your pets, right? Well not so fast, because the creators of Bitcoin have devised a process to obtain Bitcoins that is so convoluted and obtuse that the only explanation for implementing such a process is that it was meant to be exclusionary. Take two seconds to see who owns Bitcoins and who does not and it becomes painfully obvious what groups of people were meant to be excluded. Women and People of Color.

>Here is just a smattering of terms a hopeful Bitcoin owner is required to understand before venturing out to purchase their very own handy-dandy Bitcoin: Blockchain, Nodes, Forking, and Wallets. Is your head spinning? Mine was too. So how is it that Bitcoins are so disproportionately owned by CIS white males? Why is it that they are the only ones that get to participate in the greatest wealth generator of this century?

>Historically, CIS white males have been afraid of competition. To rid themselves of competition they exclude certain groups of people from participating. It’s simple economics. If fewer people own Bitcoins the Bitcoins become more valuable. Now if everyone was able to have a Bitcoin and be rich then the CIS white males wouldn’t have all that money that they don’t even need. See why they don’t want you to have a Bitcoin? This is fundamentally how oppression works.

>Now I want you to do a simple thought experiment. Take a look at your skin and ask yourself if you are a POC. Then take a look between your legs and ask yourself if you have a vagina that bleeds once a month. Then ask yourself if you own any Bitcoins. If you answered ‘YES’ to either of the first two questions and ‘NO’ to the third then CONGRATULATIONS you are being systematically oppressed! Good job society. Real. Good. Job there.

>The creators of Bitcoin didn’t think of me though when they were making their stupid computer money. I’m a crafty little minx (:

>I employed the help of an ally. A CIS (just go with me here) Asian male who is well-versed in cryptocurrency. His name is Peter. I sat down with Peter so he could help me get a Bitcoin. After Peter was done subjecting me to the Top 5 worst mansplaining episodes of my life and after I explained to him that what he was doing to me was patriarchic bullshit and after I was convinced that his apology was genuine, we were able to proceed, gingerly.

>I told him that I wanted to hand him my credit card and I wanted him to get me $100 in Bitcoin. He said it was simple. He took my credit card. Then he said he needed my driver’s license to create my very own personal coinbase account where I would store my Bitcoin. A few hours later and I *winks seductively* was the proud owner of a Bitcoin!

>Please, sit down. You can stop clapping now (:

>In the midst of my visions of caviar and Instagrams of my legs sprawled out on the beach a horrific thought wiggled its way into my brain. To get access to my Bitcoins I had to use the privilege of my driver’s license. If you need a driver’s license to get Bitcoins then what HELL are POC supposed to do? I felt sick. I knew all the hoops I had to jump through to get a Bitcoin. I couldn’t imagine how impossible it must be for POC to get access to Bitcoins even if they had an ally like Peter.

>I eventually came to the conclusion that my ownership of my Bitcoin made me an active participant in the oppression of POC. So I instructed Peter to sell my Bitcoin. I made a handsome profit of $200, which I promptly donated to a charity that serves POC.

>So what are we supposed to do? How do we deal with this inequality?

>The only solution is to protest and boycott any person or business that deals in cryptocurrencies that are not fully inclusive. We also need to lobby to outlaw any use of cryptocurrencies. We do this until we can find allies that can make a cryptocurrency that truly gives access to all.

It’s because they’re not smart enough

>not taking the time to learn how something works
>niggers and the niggers of gender reee
Typical

I'll include them.

Right during I sell all my coins to them during the crash.

Bitcoin was literally invented by a PoC. A Japanese.

come on, m8, you've posted this shit at least thrice today

Thus can't be real. No one is this unaware.

Do you really think the woman that wrote that article could comprehend crypto currency? I'm surprised she actually has a credit card that isn't maxed out on shoes and Candy Crush in-game purchases.

- free market does a better job at wealth redistribution than any socialist program ever
- lefties can’t handle it

makes sense to me

No source..

ATM. you just insert money. recieve a number, and walk away.

>the creators of bitcoin
Some asian guy? There are no "owners" of bitcoin in the same way the USD is owned by the USA. Brainlets just don't understand decentralized currency.

Anyways the reason women and colored people (at least blacks, since Asians own bitcoin) don't really get a lot of money is because they just aren't as good, no amount of politics will change that.

>something to bequeath to your PETS

These fucking people...

>If you need a driver’s license to get Bitcoins then what HELL are POC supposed to do?
This HAS to be a joke article.

they said the same shit about voting

I'm really hoping this isn't real, though part of me wants it to be so I can chuckle.

HAHAHAHHA So are they admitting that women and black people are dumb? The left self-memes. You can't make this shit up. I didn't know shit about crypto. I clearly remember when Ethereum was $10 per. I studied, researched and now not only do I have many different currencies, I mine too. If people don't want to put in the effort to educate themselves, it's of course my problem, right?

>Women and Blacks are too stupid to understand how cryptocurrency works.

Who even denies sex/race realism at this point.
