Why wouldn't they? Some of the best programmers I know are female, and they love Bitcoin.
Because its been a very common misconception for years that women do not use the internet beyond social media. Well beyond that, its also a misconception that women are not in the slightest interested in STEM activities (science, technology, engineering, and math). Honestly its a huge injustice, and if people do not speak up about it, the misconception will continue on.
In case anyone is wondering why I am so passionate about this, its because my daughter loves science and math. And I do the best I can everyday to teach her and to explain to her concepts well beyond her age in order to continue to spark her curiosity. I dont want her to grow up shafted or objectified because she is not a male in an engineering or science field.
The facts cannot be denied that there is proportionately less users of Bitcoin that are women then men, unless every survey or each piece of research has been manipulated.... I think this presents a great opportunity for innovation and someone to reach a female demographic with a reason that bitcoin could be fun or add value to daily life.
I would also like to note that it is not only women who will be "shafted and objectified" because they are not involved with engeneering or a science field. Is it safe to assume that tomorrow's world is more technical than yesterdays and having tech experience might be beneficial in a field that still requires an elevated level of technical knowledge?
What can we do to promote bitcoin to a concentration of the female demographic? Perhaps time for a survey to learn about gender specific attractions to bitcoin.
My mom is 62 and she's actually super interested in learning bitcoin, although she has a past with stocks and the financial trade that might be where the interest stems, either way it was cool to see her interested in something the majority of my 25-30 year old buddies are completely confused about.
