Let me say that more than 44% of the total that enter @ https://creary.net is female.

Is very nice to see that there's a very proactive part -almost 50%- of the crypto-art-industry that come from the fairer sex!

What would be the difference if there would be more woman in the blockchain?
Do you think that it would change in any aspect?
We should really stop this gender discrimination or something it doesn't really matter if there are more men than women,
It is the skill and knowledge that counts not their gender.

Well, I believe that the Blockchain industry needs the "female touch" now more than ever. Of course, gender doesn't matter as what counts is the skill and knowledge of a person. But, gender diversity could turn out to become beneficial for longevity of the Blockchain industry. It's no secret that women are more dedicated to their jobs than men. There are a few women in the Blockchain space which are recognized within the mainstream world (like Elizabeth Stark (Lightning Labs) and Dr. Elaine Shi (ThunderCore)). But still, they're a "needle in a haystack".

At least, this is better than nothing. Good minds come from both genders (either female or male). Sexual orientation doesn't matter as long as the person is able to be contribute to the industry in every way. As it's said, "knowledge is power". No matter who you are, you could make a difference in the Blockchain/crypto space (if you're a talented or skilled person). Maybe in the future, we'll be able to see more women interested in Blockchain technology? Once digital payments become a part of our daily lives (as sooner or later physical cash will be eventually phased out from existence), we could expect women to adopt crypto and Blockchain tech at a large scale. Just my thoughts Grin

There are a good number of women in the crypto world. Some projects have women as team members, some as advisors and even developers. It's important to note that women also thrive well here.

I went through few articles there are women's who run block chain non profit organization and their main motto is to focus on development and education.

They are Keen on block chain industry but very few are interested, because they cannot afford big dumps which happens in crypto also most of them don't want to take risk on this and I don't think women's have patience to keep holding coins for years.

There are a number of notable women who are actively involved in leading projects that are dominating the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry:  Elizabeth Stark (Lightning Labs),  Meltem Demirors (DCG), Galia Benartzi (Bancor), Elizabeth McCauley (Bitcoin Foundation).

Honestly, I was not aware about that. But still, we cannot deny the fact that there are more men than women in the Blockchain industry. After all, men are more inclined to the field of technology than women. Take a good look at the number of women in the areas of IT and CS and you'll notice the difference. The aforementioned female figures have brought innovation to crypto land, but they're not as widely recognized as men like Vitalik Buterin or even Andreas Antonopoulos (please correct me if I'm wrong). Even with the benefits crypto & Blockchain technology provides, women don't seem to be quite interested in the freedom of money.

We'll have to wait and see what happens within a couple of years from now. If Blockchain continues to grow at an unprecedented rate, the number of females in the space will grow too. Personally, I wouldn't mind about this as long as crypto and Blockchain continues to be developed and innovated for the benefit of the mainstream world. Just my thoughts Grin

Women have got the ability to turn around a thing. When women are ready to do a thing then they can go extral mile to achieve that. If we can have more women come into crypto sphere, it will have positive effect on it generally.

What does "getting women into blockchain technology" even mean? Do you want more female blockchain developers? Well, then how would you get them if there's not much female programmers to begin with? Or maybe you want women to invest in shitcoins? Trading is also a male-dominated field, although not as much as software engineering. But in both cases as well as in many others, women usually avoid taking risks, so it's reasonable that there's less women in blockchain. And refusing to take risks shouldn't be viewed as a bad thing, so imo there's no problem that needs solving.

The simple problem of looking funny if a woman is developing a blockchain and pausing to develop on the grounds of being pregnant? menstruation? or other women's problems?
It is clear that a man lives more freely, stronger and more resilient. so the responsibilities are more optimal, so that development can be faster. IMO women may be involved in a blockchain or crypto that is just to try this technology and may be interested only in working on a developing project such as marketing or easy things. (women) they are created not to work hard and hold heavy responsibilities.

This is seriously blast from the past kind misogynic weird stereotypes from 70s. Talking about "holding heavy responsibilities and easy things" when there are so many multitasking women taking care of the children when their men didn't want to help while doing their job.

Crypto is technical and mascilune. It will take many years for the women adoption. Understanding crypto for the majority of the women is the same as understanding how to drive a car  Grin

This topic reminds me of a tweet, asking Justin Sun to invite a woman to his lunch with Warren Buffet, and actually having a poll for which CT celebrity must be chosen for that!

Funny, invite one of us women just because we're women! Not because we are great minds, or well respected members of the community, but because we have vaginas!  Angry

If women want to be in crypto as anything (devs, celebs, coders, analysts, investors, ...) they must start trying hard to be good enough to get a position, and earn respect by deserving that position (which is something we will all love to see).

I don't know exactly what is the reason behind this but I think it is because females are more emotional than men that is why they are afraid to take risk or explore new things. Also, like what you have said men are more into technology that is why bitcoin community is dominated by men. Like before mathematicians are also dominated by men because we are more on numbers.

I still think that the problem relies heavily into "who you know" situation. Normally in business people should hire good quality and amazing workers right?

Well, that generally doesn't apply in finances because normally in finances people who are super smart should be hired but instead people who know other people hire each other which creates the problem. Hiring a friend or a colleague or a alumni is a big problem in the finance world, and lets face it, men do hang out with other men and have more fun compared to having women friends, they are attracted to them but in a "friendship" men prefer other men.

So, in order to get more women into finances and also crypto we need to make sure people hire based on merit and not based on friendship or proxy for the open positions in their companies.

Most women have different interest and they are not so fond in the new technology particularly in blockchain.

But some of my girl friends are also engaging themselves in crypto especially those who are staying at home and looking for opportunity online.

Men will continue to dominate thats a fact, but the time will come the number of girl crypto enthusiast will increase too.

Personally, I believe that the crypto industry has greatly influenced the image of both men and women. I believe that a woman can also easily develop cryptocurrency and make money on it. In addition, men, too, may not develop cryptocurrency, but engage in household chores. I believe that for the development of new technologies, such as blockchain, any person may not care what kind.

Maybe it's because women are not into technology itself?

women are actually born with different obligations than men, but I don't say it all. The majority of women are born to beautify and service and the service is the main, they are emotionally gifted, so they will do the job better than men. That's why jobs involving numbers are more of a concern for men, because they absorb numbers quickly.
Most women just like things related to art or emotions, they feel it very well so they have a mission for themselves.
As for whether women would accept this kind of high technology in their daily lives, I think the answer is yes. Because they are just like ordinary citizens, banks and payment services will make it easier for everyone to use.

Most women are not particularly interested in technology. Women are interested in cosmetics and clothing. It is not known whether men and women are different in nature, but there are still some women joining the blockchain industry, and some of them are better than men. These women cannot be underestimated.

It is good you have put this forward as a question and not just an opinion. Thee are exceptional women, who do better than so many men who are into technology. We have female Engineers, female Astraunuts and so on. When it comes to blockchain technology, I believe there would have been some women who are already into it and in fact a lot of them. It's just that they may not yet be among the prominent ones and which is why they are not yet in the limelight.

Also, there are many projects, I mean real and good projects that have women among their team.

It is a gradual process. Very soon, we will begin to see them in the limelight.

Maybe in the future. Some artist in our Country are now becoming interested in cryptocurrency and that's a good aign of improvement IMO. Also some of my trader friends are girls. They are even good than me when it comes to trading. Cryptocurrency has been dominated by mens and obviously they are more stronger when in fact answering some questions when regards to blockchain. There should be no difference men or women since blockchain is an innovation created for both I dont think we can simply compare which is dominant.

Lot of women being a part of new crypto projects like ICO so they already started exploring the technology maybe they didn't get too much attention because of anonymity and decentralized things but gender is not important here,anyone with the skills can shine so no need of gender talks,IMHO.

They will.

The women that you have talked to might not be that interested as the other women that I've talked to. Their interest isn't really into blockchain but probably they were hired just to be with the main person who's the actual frontline of an event and real blockchain and crypto enthusiasts.

The world is too wide and the same goes with the internet, you probably haven't found the woman that you can talk to all of the time and how interested she is with the tech.

I dont' remember any women around when Bitcoin was less than $1 and the space was undeground for freaks. Vitalik and Andreas formed back then. Now it is multi-billion industry and we should have diversity? ok girls go back in past with time machine and do your hard work
