Topic: Do we need more influencial women in crypto to help the gender embrace it? - page 3. (Read 680 times)

Do we have to make everything about our differences..gender, race, ethnicity? There is no discrimination against women in the crypto space. Tbh people who have to deal with these issues are companies because now they have to make diversity quotas when hiring. This is great when you’re benefiting from it btw but after a while you start to wonder if you got the job because you merit it or because of your gender.

I don't think gender plays a huge role in influencing people to adopt into bitcoin, because there are no significant reason why we need more men or women in crypto space as we share the same goal and that's to maximize the opportunity what bitcoin and other crypto could bring to us. Let's skip those big names in the crypto and financial industry and let's tackle about those social media or youtube influencers who constantly uploads a crypto related content. Do you see any difference on their subscribers and audiences? Do you see a female influencers has majority of his subscribers are women? absolutely no, because we are not talking about cars and cosmetics here, we're talking about investments and gender does not matter here.

I don’t think gender matters. If you really have a solid goal in crypto, you will always have the courage to motivate yourself to enter the crypto space regardless if majority of the influencers are men or women. It’s more of a positive mindset about crypto and not because you want to take risk in crypto since you see if  a lot of men or women can do it, then of course you can do it as well. Although it’s kinda helpful, but I believe the decision depends on your own perspective about crypto.

Gender is not the basis of why people are embracing crypto but it is based on how they view the market. The more they understand and see the potentiality of crypto, they will gain courage and they never ask who are the people invested already as it is not in their minds anymore. Indeed, many known personalities are investing in crypto and they stay anonymous believing that it is not important to let the public know as this won't help others change their mind. It is an individual assessment and they invest when fully ready.

Cryptocurrency is gaining popularity among individuals who value anonymity. The gender or identity of those using cryptocurrency is irrelevant, as long as they do not wish to disclose it. People who appreciate the benefits of cryptocurrency will use it regardless of their gender or social status. There is no need for more influential women to endorse cryptocurrency for it to be accepted by the public.

Including your beloved Craig Wright.

Who cares? You can't even know if someone is a male or female since crypto space is anonymous, we don't need to do some debates on this, before Elizabeth Wood became a crypto investor I have known a female friend since 2019 who was already accumulating Bitcoin, she was into Bitcoin even before me, to me gender doesn't matter here.

I also have a family friend in the US, she is way older, someone I would call an aunt because she is in 50 years plus range, all she knows how to do is trade crypto and also invest in crypto, there are many females in crypto space than you know, and we don't even need to know how many they are.

If you are someone who have interest in other alternative crypto projects, you will see many new projects with good numbers of females as a developer and team member.

There will be, and it is either they are deciding to stay lowkey, or have not made enough exploits to be noticed.


If there are no prominent females that have the same status as the males who are very famous in cryptocurrency, it can serve as a motivation to other females who are in cryptocurrency, hodling bitcoins but not known. It is a motivation for the females who are in cryptocurrency to do exploits in their field and make themselves known.

Yes i think that's how it should be [women are created from ribs not backbones]. It should be men who face this kind of activity. But if there are women who are upside down, maybe it's the circumstances that force them.
Regarding the very good performance in this crypto world, i see it not from a gender issue because this is not a hard physical job and this can be done by anyone for those who understand and understand how it works (more to rely on the brain / mind) so it can be said to be a job that is physically light and complicated in mind.

I don't think gender should really be an issue or a big topic when it comes to crypto space. We're all aware that majority is male, but maybe another factor of that is majority of the population with regards to technology and investment related stuff are also men. So when you combine tech and investment, it will still be men.  

About your idea bringing someone to attract women more in this space, for me it can be any gender as long as they are influential to women. It's possible but probably won't make such a big difference... Maybe women are just less likely to be interested in this kind of activity as it can be too complicated and risky.

Makes sense. In crypto, lots of us prefer to keep things on the down-low, regardless of gender. Whether you're here to learn about Bitcoin, make some cash or just do your thing without sharing personal details, it's all good. The crypto space is for everyone, no matter how you roll or what your gender is.

Because they think they don't need to show up and tell the world that they are investing in crypto despite their gender.
In fact, social media influencers are more influential than these legit investors as we see. Many people believe these fake investors than those who are officially investing in cryptocurrencies. Because it was not the name or gender, what makes people embrace crypto is their interest and the way they understand how this works. Once they feel confident, with no doubts they will get into it and start. Building trust can't be made too easily or too fast which is why the adaption happens slowly, not an instant.

One of the most important names is that of Cynthia Dwork , a woman that with Moni Naor came up with the idea of proof of work back in 1993 . I think that having influential people is not a good thing , we need knowledgeable ones like Cynthia that have something important to add .
Some of the male names you mention above are currently facing criminal charges , so i wouldn't consider them a plus . Most of them just want to take big profits and don't give a f****g f**k for the technology that can change the world as we know it .  

They enrich the playing field with their distinct viewpoints, not just diversify it. We have pioneers like Caitlin Long, Cathie Wood, and Elizabeth Stark, but there are more.

Though the crypto realm is broad, we typically hear the same names. We must raise the voices of women creating waves while staying under the radar. I believe that more women in the crypto spotlight will inspire and encourage a new generation of women to enter the blockchain sector.

Diversity is key to the crypto industry's future. By empowering women, we're breaking gender barriers and unleashing a long-untapped source of invention and creativity. More influential women in crypto might revolutionize the business, not only for women.

First of all,the gender feature is not necessary,secondly,bitcoin is not gender-based which makes it accessible to all.
 Honestly,some controversies are not even supposed to be on the table,there's nothing like gender inequality here its not the men's fault that fewer women are not interested in bitcoin.Normally,the man is the head family and he is supposed to be more explorative and committed when it comes to career.Its only few women that are conscious about taking big responsibilities in career.
  Most women have less interest in bitcoin,already,been a mother is also a full time job for time and having to deal with too much work load can get them choked up.And its okay for us to never think and believe that the cryptospace is gender-based.

It is the world of the Internet and digital currencies, and it is difficult to know the dealers unless they want to reveal their identity publicly

But I believe that there are pioneering women in this field and in other fields, despite their small number. Perhaps everyone should be supported to make work and profit opportunities equal for all .

Do we have to think about it? Not only in the crypto space, but women are less active in industrial activities and almost every activity that is outside of the home. Even though anyone can be in crypto without going outside. But, the mentality matters as well. Not every woman cares about making money or inventing something new that will help them make money.

Everyone wants easy money these days. If someone could make money more easily, why they would work hard? Girls usually like working hard at home to make it better for you. Isn't it better? She let you work and earn, and she work to satisfy you and give you comfort when you are tired.

Well, the cryptocurrency industry is always open to anyone regardless of gender, age, race and all other factors so if there are only a few women then maybe it is not yet their time to go in. As mentioned above, there are now women who are famous in this industry so in terms of role model we have them and it is all up to women to take the challenge and be a part of this still men-dominated world. Do we have to tell women to join us here? You can do that if you want but that can be a big waste of time as cryptocurrency is mostly online anyone with an interest can easily find information she is looking for. So the question is: Why women are less interested with cryptocurrency...is it the perceived risks in here like many of them are viewing crypto like gambling?

I think that would be good to get more influential women in crypto.

There are definitely women who have a negative connotation of Bitcoin and Crypto due to men generally being more attracted to "riskier" investments and technology than women, and therefore they actually think of Bitcoin and Crypto as a male thing, rather than simply a technology, just because men are naturally more attracted to the type of thing that Bitcoin happens to be.

Women actually see Bitcoin/Crypto as some male culture thing that is gate-kept by men, as though it actually has anything to do with gender, and therefore something that simply isn't for women. And among some women the toxic scammy annoying "Crypto Bro" stereotype is how they think of anyone who is at all involved in the space. With some women if you even mention Bitcoin they think you are doing something suspicious or are going to try to scam them. Bitcoin is still largely seen as a suspicious thing, and for women even more so simply because it happens to more easily attract men. Basically they think Bitcoin and Crypto is some men's club, rather than being a technology. And that's not good because the more women who think this and express these opinions, the more women who are going to adopt that line of thought.


Unfortunately the vast majority of people don't yet have any distinction between Bitcoin's role as a revolutionary global currency for humanity and "Crypto degens" / "Crypto bros" / altcoins and NFT shilling get-rich-quick scammy type people. So Bitcoin gets lumped in with the shadier and absurd parts of Crypto. Of course this doesn't have anything to do with gender, but adding in the fact that pretty much all the toxic or silly stuff is done by men (because its mostly men in the space in general) makes women associate the bad stuff with crypto men and therefore think the whole space is to be avoided as some sort of male money cult.

Probably doesn't help either that I feel like half the time I actually hear about a woman getting popular in the space its because she's giving crypto trading advice based on make-believe astrology nonsense, which makes it seem like only silly women get involved in the space. Probably also don't help that when I try to think of a woman associated with crypto in some way, the first name that pops in my head is Elizabeth Warren, who is horribly misinformed on Bitcoin and very publicly hates it and is regarded by many women (and men) as a righteous crusader. I mean I'm liberal and agree strongly with her on some stuff (mostly social policy) but her economic ideas, including on Bitcoin, just tend to be extreme and stupid.

So it seems like right now when women become popular for crypto views its either for being silly or for being strongly against Bitcoin due to misinformation. Not the kind of Bitcoin/Crypto female role models anyone should want.

There is Lyn Alden Schwartzer, who is a financial analyst whose content on Bitcoin I've seen occasionally over the past few years. And she is probably the most sensible and intelligent person I've ever seen talk about Bitcoin. Whenever I read her stuff it parallels my own knowledge/thoughts of Bitcoin, but then she brings in her vast additional knowledge and data to shed new light on the subject that is far beyond my own knowledge. But most people don't have a clue who she is since she's not some celebrity finance person.

Anyway, yes we need more influencial women in crypto so certain demographics of women stop associating Bitcoin/Crypto as some "crypto bro" male money cult and instead recognize it as a incredibly powerful monetary technology that they should be involved with.

I don't see any big issue right here now, we can compare this to "Women in tech".
So for me, increasing the number of powerful women in the crypto industry can be a great way to bring about change, but it's also critical to address the systemic problems that lie at the root of gender imbalances, like discrimination in hiring procedures, workplace culture and resource and education accesibility.
