This isn't unique to Bitcoin. It's the whole technology sector. Men make up the majority of the workforce. This has been the case for thousands of years of human development. However, in the last century there has been a significant participation of women in the labor force. The number of women in the technology sector is also increasing. In the finance sector, there is a significant increase in female population. Although the number of women interested in Bitcoin is currently low, it will increase over time. After a few generations, there may be a noticeable difference. Thousands of years of historical facts don't change from today to tomorrow.

I would appreciate if we can talk about this here. What could be responsible for this?
To be honest, I personally have never done research on the role of women in the crypto field like bitcoin. Because I don't think it's that important. The reason is, the world of crypto and bitcoin is very anonymous and prioritizes privacy. So for me personally there is no reason for me to know how many women in the world are involved in crypto or bitcoin. But if you ask what perspective I have. In my opinion, if currently women are still very much a minority in the crypto or bitcoin field, maybe it's all because women tend to look more at a business or something that can make money that is clear and not complicated. Meanwhile, the crypto or bitcoin realm requires extra analysis, research and patience to be able to gain profits. So perhaps it is because of this factor that many women do not enter the realm of crypto or bitcoin.

Not only in Bitcoin I have seen women but in many other fields I have seen women as less as we think. I have noticed them in the business side even they are a little behind from the men and thus they didn't have business ideas and are very less involved in the business.

Bitcoin has a better value through which men had already earned many. The women will make themselves better if they work on the business side and if they achieved their success regarding the bitcoin matter.

I add to the basic thing, namely one of the driving factors is that if the woman has blood from a trading family, it will automatically flow in her body, especially investing in BTC to the retail kiosk that she is planning. all lines must have him. But if there isn't one (Bloodline) chances are they don't like it and don't have time to think about it (Business).

That's just our society.
There are less woman than men in finance as well, so it's only fair to assume with bitcoin anc crypto in general it's similar or just the same.
Why that is, well it has always been like that.
Woman chase other careers than this field so that's it I guess.

Not talking about classic roles or whatever, just classic preference.

When I checked the statistics of women who are into Bitcoin and found out that they are less than 10%, it surprised me seriously. It is understandable when we see fewer women than men in sectors that require physical energy to carry out work activity like the military or in the engineering sector but when you still see this same work force difference in the tech and Bitcoin space that they can comfortably do at the comfort of there home, it gets me curious to know the reason that might have been responsible for this huge gap.

I would appreciate if we can talk about this here. What could be responsible for this?
Can you provide a link of those statistics and when they were done and where?
Within Bitcoin itself, there are no gender differences. However, in certain cases, sometimes there are some fields that make more or less women interested in entering them. Like in the world of education, in my area there are more women, and several things in other fields. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, may be because crypto is considered quite high risk, so not many women tend to be interested. Although in fact, many women have entered the crypto world, both as team developers, traders, investors, and so on.

As for this forum itself, I'm also not sure how big the percentage of men and women is. because here we are prioritizing the principle of privacy where we may not know who the person and gender are behind each account.

Most of the time women stay at home, they only do housework unlike men who keep working to earn money. It is natural for men to seek money even if the job is not suitable for their skill. But there are women because of the situation they work cause no one can provide for their family or maybe they don't have a family anymore that's why they are called independent woman. They are forced to work in order to buy some food for a living. Getting knowledge of Bitcoin for me is an opportunity because not everyone has knowledge of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is hard to learn if you are self-learning. It is best to have someone teach you so that you are aware of what you should and should not do.

this makes society place certain roles on them like nursing, teaching, interior design e.t.c
Even in societies that don't enforce those roles on women, they still rather chose them over more traditional male jobs. Man and women are simply different.
Yes but have you looked at the origin of why they still take on those jobs? Society has often given the ideology that some roles/jobs are rather suited for men while others are better off for women. These stereotypes can influence the career decisions even from a young age, after all kids are exposed to gendered expectations and societal norms. There are factors that discourage women from going into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, do we even have enough role models for aspiring female engineers? How about sexism and microaggressions? Society has already told women what to think from an early age, unfortunately.

OP you said here that there are fewer women than men in bitcoin. Yes Bitcoin has less women than men but the reason for less is explained differently by different people, I personally explained that women can't handle more work load. They always want to be independent. I asked my wife one day whether to start working with Bitcoin? My wife says she won't work on bitcoin. Why should I earn money if I marry? I know there are many women with the same mindset as my wife who will not make money. Because girls don't like to take too much pressure and working in Bitcoin requires a lot of pressure which most girls can't handle. And maybe this is the reason why girls are much less than men in Bitcoin.
What do you mean by working in bitcoin? investing buying and selling by understanding charts or hunting for prizes like the signatue campaign that you did? Women will feel comfortable if their economy is fulfilled as you provide, your attitude is worth emulating Grin indeed the responsibility is on men even women assume all the costs of their needs are on men, men do give freedom even with freelance at home using an internet connection to hunt bitcoin. Men also if they do not understand about bitcoin will assume bitcoin is done by professionals and requires sufficient education, there is a level of patience that must be tested, especially technical, gender does not affect because the nature and mindset of a person can change because of habit and necessity, for example there is a desire to buy something, bitcoin is the most free job to manage time, if simplified.

Naturally men are more daring to take risks and try out new technologies so it is what is expected. And nothing is wrong with that . I know one or two very strong Bitcoin core developers who are women. And a couple of others who a quietly holding. We still need to do work in getting more women involved in Bitcoin. It is just not good for the community but for the gender as well.
That's unnecessary, not the community nor the gender will have any effect just because women are not actively involved with cryptocurrencies or the blockchain industry in general. It's their choice, and they probably aren't interested in it and that's completely okay. There are a lot of things in the world that are more suitable for women and men are not actively participating in them, similarly, technology and cryptocurrencies are more of interest to men than women.

It's not like women are completely out of it, you can find a lot of women who are involved in cryptocurrencies either in the development sector or trading and investing, my spouse is a cryptocurrency trader, and so are many other girls and women that I know. So, it's mostly about the interest and capabilities of people whether they can participate or not.

The reason is because men tend to be willing to take risks and like technical things, compared to women who think that things like Bitcoin are too risky and complicated to understand. And because of this, most women take jobs that are certain and have less risk, such as opening a small business, working in an office, or being a housewife. Hence why in the crypto world most men take part in it and there are fewer women in this field.
Maybe in the future there will be more women taking part in the crypto world in line with the development of the crypto market and increasing public education about Bitcoin.
Don't forget that Bitcoin is also a currency and there is no risk on using that, just like how we use our money/fiats. It's just that there are more people who treat BTC as an asset and maybe what you said there is true on why there is only less women involved on it.

Even in gambling, women's involvement is also lesser than on men, even though the primary purpose of gambling is for entertainment. But just like in BTC, majority also prefer to treat it as a money-making machine. And we all know that there is a risk on that, which a lot of women may dislike. If it's only about being too technical or complicated, women have no issues on it. They are in fact more smarter than most men.

When it comes to investment in Bitcoin I could attest to the fact that there are fewer women than men. I see women as receivers and not givers. This is why most women do not see any need to invest in Bitcoin, because they don't have any future ambition or are not investment wise. Most persons use Bitcoin as a store of value to pass down to heirs and their generations. And this is done mostly by men, not women. We have only few women who see the need to keep generational wealth.

I believe with what you said, but not all I know there are women who are not givers and the fact that they are more than the ones who want to get their own and provide for themselves. However, one of the reasons why we have few women in bitcoin is, I can say, due to exposure to the internet. If you look at it, you will see that men are more exposed and use phones than women, and the stress of learning the whole process in bitcoin. Not all women can do that, and that is why we have a few of them. However, some of them will like to get something like a bitcoin investment, but they are not aware of it or they don’t have someone that will teach them.

However, you can’t say women don’t have future ambitions, they do, but our destiny is not the same, and we have different views on things. The way you view bitcoin and cryptocurrency, other people view it, so some women are not ready for that, not that they don’t know about it, but they are not ready to engage in it.

BTC, a coin of today and tomorrow.
Investing in Bitcoin for most women is just like gambling with their hard earned money, this they see as a risky adventure. Women are generally risk adverse and will run away from any project that does not guarantee at least up to 80% that they will get good returns on their investments.

Most Women are very sensitive to losses. Even when they've made numerous gains before the loss occurred, they'll still cry over that one loss. Such women can never invest in Bitcoin or any other risky business.  Peradventure they manage to invest,  they will quit once they incur any significant loss even if they've been benefiting before. Only few women can take the bull by the horn and compete favourably with their male counterparts in the Bitcoin space and other risk related fields.

Even though there's no any statistical data to proof this that men are more than women in bitcoin network, but it's something we cab use our own personal eyes to see how men got engaged in digital technology to the rate at which women were also found involved in this altogether, also we can get some additional informations maybe through some of the exchanges and that's for the sake of those using them.

This is true that there are a fewer women Than men involved in Bitcoin. So there is need that women should be attracted in this business. Because they can join it as a home based business. They can do better work for crypto staying at home. Especially in the eastern countries and middle east. But this is encouraging position that the number of woman doing work for bicoin is increasing day by day. And it is hoped that they will step forward for this business. women are more than 50% of the population of the world. So it is need of time that they take part in all trade of life including bitcoin and crpto.

It is hard to get an accurate statistics on things like these, that's because people don't publicly talk about the BTC's they have in their wallet, and not everyone uses centralized services that they have to register with an ID, which would reveal their gender.

But we can all agree that the men are more involved in BTC than women, and we can get to that conclusion by the people around us in our society and even our country, and it is obvious that men around us are more interested in BTC and technology. There is a cultural difference that exists in each country, but i don't think anyone can prove that there is a country where women are more interested in technology than men, in some countries the percentage of women involved in science and technology would be higher when you compare it with that of another country, but over all, the men involved would still be higher than the women.

A man's nature suits investing in bitcoin because if you look at everything about bitcoin men are more interested and aside the risk women might not want to hold for long, i seriously don't even have idea on women that are involved in bitcoin but maybe I might get the opportunity to actually get to meet one someday, their will be secret holders because women actually knows how to keep secrets and very soon more women will want to be part of bitcoin that I know.

Another important factor is that women are generally less willing to take a risk than men, and since Bitcoin is pretty new and very risky, no wonder that fewer women are interested in it.


If I were to take my wife as an example, women are not really supporters of the hold, especially not in the long term.  Grin

This is a similar question to the Why are there fewer women than men involved in Business? The reason is simple. Men are used to handling business and financial things while women are more like to handle the rest of the things. It's men's responsibility to make money for their family which is the reason men handle the financial things too.

Since men handle financial things, they are the ones who thinks about where to invest, where their money will be secure, and where will get more privacy. This is the possible reason why there are fewer women compared to men.

If I remember correctly, my professor back in my college, she said that mostly men are objective while women are subjective. She example imagine you are gonna hire someone, a woman would say that the person is actually good and kind so she would hire him, and the man would focus on their skills and experiences. This is only from my professor's words, but personally, the reason behind the low number of data on women engaging in Bitcoin is due to they are much more focused on other industries that don't involve high risk. If we can observe some heavy work for men that involves masculinity they are much more experienced in a work field that doesn't need comfort. They are much more exposed to exploring and risking especially when it comes to financial matters. Of course, women are free to do anything they want and they can also do the things men can do (except heavy work such as construction I think), as they would really need to control their emotions and mental thinking when it comes to Bitcoin, in the end I support gender equality where there's equal treatment for both men and women.

Usually, women are less involved in financial matters, and this can be one reason that they are less involved in bitcoins too. Think for a moment that you need money to invest in bitcoin, So when women do not have the control over the money, they won't be able to do investments in Bitcoins BTC.

Yeah, being a partner of men, they can advise them to invest in Bitcoin and even tell them that the future of Bitcoin is more secure, and the evolution of fiat money will come to its dead end, but because women do not have control, they can't just control their finances to convert directly into bitcoin, its usually the Men who take ultimate decisions.
