How can we get the party started for a Monero social media site to bond a couple of anonymous bros?

Well maybe Big Tech bashing, but with an educational twist.

This site LifeHacker has half-hearted criticism of Google, but the site itself uses Google analytics and the author uses Gmail. Other than the obvious, we turn it into an educational opportunity to have members of the community tell him all the choices there are to DeGoogle your life.

Who knows? It would be pretty cool if we got a response from the author, and it mentioned Monero.

    Where are all the WOMEN standing up for private digital cash?

    In my MoneroKon talk this weekend I will be analyzing data on cryptocurrency investment and use as payment: https://cfp.monerokon.org/2024/talk/NVF8ZN/ According to EU and US data, men definitely get more involved in cryptocurrency, but the gender divide is more lopsided in investment activities than payment activities. In other words, women are less likely to use cryptocurrency as a means of payment than men, but they are much less like to buy cryptocurrency as an investment than men.

    You could interpret that as “the way to get women interested in peer-to-peer electronic cash is to focus on it as a means of payment instead of as an investment.” Or the opposite: “Women investing in cryptocurrency is a relatively unexplored market segment!” Anything else you want analyzed, you have about 12 hours to ask before I finalize the analysis.

      do you give the talk remotely via type-to-talk audio? I think you should find a different voice than the one used on MoneroTalk which is really hard to listen to. I know there’s few open source ones, let me know if you find any good ones. The default linux one in the package manger is horrible
