Thanks for posting again. I hope I don't take this on a tangent, but this point interested me:

There's a vortex that pulls you in and tells you, "your contribution can actually matter here, so what are you going to do?" It can be tempting to discover a cause to promote. It happens often, and it takes a lot of people down. This is part of the network's defense. I felt this temptation, and if I ran with it, I would be promoting the gender equality cause. But I believe that is a futile pursuit. I don't like that game, it's a fiat game. I do not care to step into the position as the judge of equality.

For you it's being a woman. For let's say Greg Foss, it was the bond market. He latched onto a niche and became a one trick pony. There are many examples of this among bitcoin "influencers."
