Unveiling the Dark Sides of Crypto Twitter Spaces: A Tale of Misogyny and Gaslighting
12/9/2024, 8:14:38 PM
In the often-unfiltered world of crypto Twitter Spaces, a recent session has brought to light some deeply rooted issues within the memecoin community, particularly concerning how females are treated in this male-dominated cryptocurrency arena.
This article delves into the troubling dynamics observed during a live session that has since become a focal point for the discussion on misogyny, gaslighting, the overall safety of female participants in crypto discussions and the common key players that effect the space.
The Run-Down Incident
During a live Spaces event just yesterday, the interaction between participants Kakz (@_ck007 on X) and Empress (@Hope_ology on X) escalated on an @alchemistOG69 Spaces in a manner that was both disturbing and extremely revealing. Without apparent provocation, Kakz unleashed a series of aggressive and demeaning remarks towards Empress, employing gaslighting tactics, personal insults, and derogatory name-calling including terms like "slut" and "whore." He attempted to undermine her credibility by suggesting she was new to the crypto scene, only to contradict himself by admitting he knew who she was, hinting at underlying personal vendettas rather than professional critique. @drrobotnik_aoc on X wasted no time getting his low blow jabs in either, surprise surprise.

@AlchemistOG69 I can’t believe alch didn’t kick kakz from the stage for the way he talked to empress!!!! It was the most disrespectful thing I’ve heard on ct
The situation was further exacerbated by Alchemist (@AlchemistOG69), who, rather than mediating or coming to the defence of Empress, seemed to side with Kakz. Alchemist made excuses for Kakz's behavior, attributing it to fatigue, and advised Empress to "behave," effectively silencing her. This response was particularly jarring when juxtaposed with a later attempt to attack Empress's credibility, which was met with a strong rebuttal backed by evidence from Empress herself.
The Aftermath
No this is what happened in this space: pic.x.com/tX8zP6AuvZ x.com/alchemistog69/…
The repercussions of this interaction were immediate. Empress, feeling unsupported and disrespected, chose to leave all related chats and block Kakz. She also moved to strengthen her position by partnering with Nobu, bringing back memories of previous confrontations indicating this was not an isolated incident but part of a common pattern.
The Broader Issue
This incident is not merely an isolated case but a symptom of a broader, systemic problem within the crypto X Spaces community. It highlights how certain spaces are not safe for women, where misogyny, gaslighting, and aggressive behavior are not only tolerated but sometimes indirectly condoned by other male participants who either actively participate or remain silent.

@AlchemistOG69 @AlchemistOG69 @drrobotnik_aoc @SWEATY333 @Justsimplyrob_ x.com/facemelter25mm…
The discussion that ensued in private messages painted a grim picture, with questions being raised about whether women should simply acquiesce to such treatment, essentially asking if they must "bend over" and endure without any lube or protest. This rhetoric itself is indicative of the normalization of abuse in these digital arenas.
Safe Spaces and the Role of Key Players
The behaviour observed isn't unusual for some key figures in these spaces, marking them as environments where women might not feel safe to engage or express themselves freely. The incident with Kakz, Alchemist, Robotnik and others involved is a clear signal to female degens (degenerates, a term of endearment in crypto circles for passionate investors) that caution IS necessary.
For those seeking a more inclusive environment, it's crucial to identify which spaces promote a culture of respect and equality.
Panels that are abrasive and aggressive, particularly when they target women, are not conducive to the growth or health of the community. The crypto space needs allies, not perpetrators or enablers of toxic behavior.
The crypto community must confront these issues head-on. The actions and complicity of others in these scenarios are detrimental not only to female participants but to the community's integrity as a whole.
It's time for a cultural shift where respect, safety, and equality are not just buzzwords but the foundation of every interaction, ensuring that everyone, regardless of gender, can contribute to and benefit from the crypto revolution without fear of harassment or belittlement.

CTMZ@_CXMZ@heyALdoteth @Airshiptycoon Guys, this is how I was JUST treated on their panel. I don’t think the discussion is off base here in terms of how misogynistic these dudes can get to be…

airship ✡️@Airshiptycoon@_CXMZ @heyALdoteth to say this is a gender issue is crazy. You have no understanding what has transpired nor does anyone have time to explain at this point. This is a bull market, we are all trying to move forward from the trauma she has inflicted on the space. No hate and wish her the best

CTMZ@_CXMZ@Airshiptycoon @heyALdoteth Would love to have a genuine discussion with someone who’s open to talking about this other side… I only hear what’s on the space recording and what’s transpired today. Also, saying it’s ‘crazy’ that it’s a gender issue I think highlights the gender issue. 😂

CTMZ@_CXMZFrom the perspective of the spaces it sounds like a really unconsensual gangbang. And I can only go off what I hear. I’ve reached out for comment to Kakz directly. I even pulled up to alchs space today to talk to the entire space and I’m gonna be honest it went exactly the same way. Somehow those guys are mad at ME. Hilarious.

CTMZ@_CXMZReached out the Kakz and was told to go fyck myself. 😂 This is a common issue for female panelists. Myself included as was just seen on the alchemist space. These boys blame everyone else for the problems THEY create and then circle jerk cry about it. Now they’re threatening to get this account banned. 😂 you tell me what seems untrue here… Follow up article drops later today. You’re gonna love it. If you have something you’d like the see added about Empress’s history in the space the DMs are always open. 😘
