Tell them they can buy lipstick with it. Or they just need to be mentioned that only men are about bitcoins and there is no female rival

an insecure or a attention whore would only do that i think because there is no competition or a rival with some other girls so basically they are much more into fame rather than bitcoin

Jodybay you are an exception, but not many women are interested in bitcoins..! maybe one day bitcoin will become popular with women when it will go mainstream..!

sounds like OP thinks that if women get into bitcoin, he will have something in common with women to be able to talk to them, and hopefully form a relationship by showing off his passion.... for bitcoin.

this is the many dozenth topic about trying to get women on board. i think people need to realize, women are on board. they just dont show it off because they dont want to be stalked by single guys that think a chat-up line is "do you accept bitcoin".

the only reason people like the OP doesn't think women are into bitcoin is more about the way he approaches girls to start a conversation.. and they ignore him.. thus he automatically thinks they dont know what he is talking about, rather then realizing its him they are ignoring, not the topic.

whenever you go to any geeky conventions such as Dr Who, cosplay, bitcoin, gaming competitions, you can easily spot the girls. because there are 12 guys circling them trying any and every method their juvenile minds can think up to try impressing the girls.

people need to realise that bitcoins is just money. its not gender specific and is not prejudice to anything or anyone.

Real Bets. Real People. By Anyone, on anything

This issue was raised before with a 26-page thread about it I think including some great screencaps of the qt client running in 'girl-mode':
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/do-girls-use-bitcoin-261598

Before starting up BetMoose (a place to predict real world stuff (launching very soon)), we (our team) thought really hard about this because it really is a huge untapped market. At the end of the day, there aren't THAT many reasons why women would need or want to use bitcoin right NOW. I think we need more light-hearted, fun stuff like pinterest or etsy to accept bitcoin first, then maybe something like 9gag but with doge? Doge is cute right?

Not sure about what your females do online but maybe a nice mobile marketplace app would help as well. Plus a lot of girls have/use iPhones instead of Android, but as has been the case for the past few years, Android acceptance is growing more and more, including among women. Bitcoin is really a techy technology thing for now and when something comes along that will make it fun and useful and easy WITHOUT being bothersome to learn, then you can expect to see girls being interested in it.

There are dozens of such ideas; I think we should dedicate this thread as a brainstorming thread, instead of a 'why or why not'.

this is hard im sure because mostly woman are very lazy when it comes to computer jobs or by posting if they are new to btc and then they also need to learn about how it works and what is bitcoin which is too stressing for them Cheesy

woman loves to sit and talk with their friends in some coffee shop go to salon shopping so why they are need to waste their time to sit and read in the front of computer instead use their precious time to make themself more beautiful Cheesy

im a girl so i know what mostly woman want and what they do they will prepare to drag their husband into bitcoin to buy them stuff Cheesy

I guess there's a few nerd women involved. However, most of the tech sector globally consists of men. This is only natural, and I don't see why we should try to change it.

Also, I think that any women participating in the community would be smart to pose as someone not easily recognizable as a woman. Use a neutral name to avoid all the unwanted attention. Esp. online, in uncivilized forums (like this one) and irc. That way it will be easier to discuss issues concerning bitcoin, and not being hit on by horny males.

On the other side, I never understood why women always needs to have women clubs whenever they're involved with something. Perhaps it has something to do with their social nature, that they feel they need to belong, even if it's a subset of that particular culture.

And yeah, if we really want to involve the women, we should make nice gadgets like apple does, with nice design. Women like nice looking things.

Alternatively, we should educate women that are foreign workers about how they could send money back home using bitcoin.

All in all, to have women start using bitcoin and continue using it, it must be something deeper that attracts them than just being part of some club.

As a rule, men take risks and women don't. More women will get into bitcoin once it is an established technology. This is basic biology and would be taught in schools, if the world was a sane place.

Very true. And women don't mine generally. Did you see any woman digging gold lately? Same for mining bitcoins or altcoins. Minting or forging with PoS coins is already a bit simpler and it attracts savers which women are generally better at than men. And once there are useful day-to-day applications for cryptos including buying shoes without all the fees from 3rd parties, women will join in numbers.

I have to say that the female participation in the Bitcoin sector is slowly increasing. According to some surveys in 2012, only around 1% of the Bitcoiners were female. But as per the recently released Mt Gox data, 5% of all the people who lost their coins there (i.e 1,400 out of a total of 70,000 users) were female. So we can say that there was a 500% increase in a time frame of 24 months!

Any altcoin except this one will be fine as a less-than-men-get alternative.

Ideally the coin should be worth about 75 bits per the bitcoin. Or some such.

Hey guys, I'm wondering, what are some of the ways in which we could encourage more women to adopt bitcoin or other alternative currencies? I'm setting up a web magazine for women and I want to include practical bitcoin information. Then I wondered, what are the primary motivators for women to adopt bitcoin?

So I'd really like to know, what motivated you to start using bitcoin? Are you a male/female? Any suggestions you could give me to effectively promote and provide information about bitcoin? Thanks!

I thought bitcoin was genderless
I didn't know you needed to do something special for women to do it

Hey how about setting a magazine for blacks to adopt bitcoin?
Or jews?
