The Testosterone fuelled domain of Males in the Bitcoin world, will push women to the back. Men will bump chests and compare penis sizes, while women would silently do their thing in the background.

We saw this with the recent Bitcoin Cash fiasco where Roger Ver and CW were challenging each other for the Alpha male spot in the Bitcoin Cash fork. Women simply do not like that kind of thing and would prefer to avoid these kinds of scenarios. Tongue

There are loads of women that avoid the limelight, but they are very successful investors and traders. Wink

I had never put much thought into it before, but Blockchain is a very male dominated industry. I don't see that as a problem per se, but I wouldn't be surprised if women found entering the space intimidating/have a lot of barriers to entry.

The blockchain industry is tiny. I don't think there is a good reason for any women to feel intimidated, nor do I think there are any real "barriers to entry". It wouldn't take many women at all to dominate the industry and if there are any barriers, there is no reason why they can't just go around them.

Crypto is a land of reckless gamblers and risk takers and unless you actually believe men and women are the same biologically, there's nothing surprising in seeing a land where entering requires a pinch of recklessness to be men-dominated

Ah, yes, the classic argument that if women are underrepresented, it's because males are conspiring against them. Maybe there's also barely any female plumbers or garbage collectors because males don't want females to enter those industries?

Here's a good article that tries to explain why there's fewer women programmers than man programmers: https://quillette.com/2018/06/19/why-women-dont-code/

If you want a tl;dr, the article says that women have different interests than men, they don't choose careers in tech because they don't like it, not because they feel intimidated.
