Blockchain and Bikini's ... A Free-Write
Hi Friends!
For those that are on Crypto Twitter, you've probably seen a lot of talk about bikini's this past month and no, that's not some new blockchain term or project. I literally mean the things you go swimming in.
CryptoFinally get's a lot of flack for her selfie videos anyway, but she especially started getting heat about how "sexy" they were. She responded with a tweet saying something along the lines of - "I give keynote talks and I post bikini pics...get over it." Although I do think she is one of the most controversial figures in crypto and honestly does seem to thrive on stirring up drama... I can't help but agree with her.
My Tweet pretty sums up my thoughts on this... You can check it out HERE.
Let me expand here though since I don't have the limitations of 280 characters. I guess what I don't understand is why people get so upset about it.
Even if she is just doing it to get attention, or to grow her following... so what? If you don't like it... no one is forcing you to follow her. It comes down to my basic philosophy in life...
Everyone should be free to live their life however they want, as long as they are not causing harm to others.
The Market always decides. If you think it's stupid, or that someone is "not going to be taken seriously" in the world of crypto if they make posts like that... then that is their fall to take. If they start losing followers like flies or stop being asked to speak at conferences or those photos are in some way harming their livelihood... I bet your ass that person would adjust. And if that person goes down because of that kind of content... that is also their own choice.
The other thing I see sometimes from other women in the space is making comments like, "Do you have to show off your body in order to get noticed around here?" Or maybe comments like... "You are only getting ahead because of your looks." I think everyone's personal style of how they want to show up in the world is different. I think it is 100% possible to be a bad-ass business person that is a total professional - all while being their sexy selves in the process.
An example of someone I think pulls this off beautifully is Brittany Krystle. She is a personal branding expert that has worked with Gary Vanderchuck, Marie Forlio and tons of other big names. Do you think her "sexy business style" kept those industry legends from hiring her? No, because she owns it and understands that she's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.
In conclusion... do you, be you... whatever that looks like. Whether that means you never post a photo of yourself online or you post bikini pictures for the world to see. Be on fire, be excited about what you are doing and don't shame others for how they decide to show up.
XO, Lea
I'm gonna look great in a bikini! #anythingforcrypto
That Would make a Great Look for a NEW Steemmonster Card @aggroed
Slay it Aggie 🏆
I agree to each their own and having freedom to express oneself. On the other hand I also have her muted on twitter as her videos of her midriff while biting her lip with nothing about crypto but a #crypto tag are pointless to me.
With that being said, sex sells and to each their own. Nice freewrite 🙂
Exactly. 👊🏼 People have just as much of a right to unfollow/mute her as she does to post that stuff. I agree that her content doesn’t often have much substance - but she’s clearly found a market for it - so more power to her.
Never heard of her :)
Nothing sexier than a woman who's smart enough to appreciate crypto. Clothes or not.
This is the best response I have seen to the entire discussion so far! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Intellect and enthusiasm are magnetic. @heiditravels is another excellent example.
Great to have the girls involved :)
Heidi is my hero. 🙌🏻
The people that hate what you are doing are people who didn’t have the guts to do it themselves it’s lovely to see you be confident and be you and yes there’s nothing wrong with that at all. Don’t let people control you
Thanks Batman. 😘
You go crypto girl! Don’t let anyone tell you how to live your life! <——- wait a minute, is THAT telling you how to live your life?
hahah that might be a circular conversation!! 😂
Same motto as I follow. I would also join the bikini challenge but nobody needs to see that.
It’s a great motto to live by! Sure is freeing. :-)
Well the biki caught my eye (blushing) but I stayed for the post.
