Topic: Why are there fewer women Than men involved in Bitcoin? - page 5. (Read 833 times)

Women are not much into technology based industry. Majority of the women were interested in service based industry. They doesn't want to risk, they find it good to stay pressure free. Another thing, women always finds a job with which she can spend good time with kids. Various reasons can be framed for the less involvement of women into bitcoin. I don't find the 10% is real, maybe they aren't active. Good number of women is involved with regular addition of bitcoin to their portfolio looking for long term profit.

Well, we know why in the first place. I dont want to stereotype, but most women or women don't have interest in complex things, and bitcoin or crypto currency is one of them. They are more interested in girly stuff, but there are some women who do cryptocurrency; they are the ones that are money-oriented and want to earn more money and discover bitcoin. As we know, bitcoin is not widely known, so it's natural that many women don't know that. The only way to discover bitcoin is by surfing the internet or spending more time online, which is usually a man's thing, as we like to play online or online.

Anyway, we can't just make the women like bitcoin; they don't like complex things such as bitcoin, and they much prefer a way to earn that doesn't require them to understand the complexity of bitcoin. Of course, bitcoin is risky and can be stressful.

Maybe the reason for this is the limited time that married women have, but for women who are not married or married, it is because they prefer to play around rather than learning something that can make money for them. That's what I've seen around me so far so I wouldn't be surprised to see that there are more men who like Bitcoin than women until now and even next year too.

Another reason that could be a trigger for this is that there are no people who want to tell women to like Bitcoin instead of liking the handsome men they love as their partners in life. So this could also be the cause of the big gap in women liking Bitcoin, although there are also other reasons such as their lack of curiosity about Bitcoin. So their days are spent on other things rather than finding out about Bitcoin via the internet or people around them.

Even back when I was still studying during my college days, there were really only a few women enrolling in computer studies, such as computer science and information technology courses. It seems that even until now, women are still discouraged from pursuing careers in the STEM field. For me, maybe women are not necessarily less inclined toward technology compared to men. The tech industry has been dominated by men for a long time, and it's deeply rooted in educational backgrounds. Also, based on studies, women tend to be more risk-averse in their investment choices.

I'm not sure what statistic you're referring to, but I believe the percentage is higher because women are now partially involved in tech and cryptocurrency, especially because they see it as something they can do while at home, but only strong-minded women with tech knowledge were able to do so because women are naturally weak and emotional. However, because of their societal power, women who invest wisely in bitcoin will contribute significantly to the expansion of bitcoin adoption. and Bitcoin investment will be the greatest investment for them if they want to stay at home and manage their wealth without stress.

One of the reasons which I can recognized or remember is that women are not taking risk like men. They have soft heart and at the early age of bitcoin and everyone was afraid to use it women were like children that scared to involved themselves in the bitcoin investment. And men who are facing all the challenges to feed their families daily bases were not afraid to invest and see the outcome of it and outcome is a successful one.

But in the contrary, there are many women who are involved in bitcoin. When I came to the city, I saw women investing and trading with bitcoin. Women are there but the different is the thinkings.

10% The women you are talking about may be almost more because the female population is 3X that of men, men are quicker to recognize bitcoin from the algorithm of an interest generated on social media, after looking for games, money, bounty hunting or gambling. among those that men have he tries his luck and for fun, starting from getting to know the payment method until the longer it gets used to using bitcoin and can even dive into trading. women tend to be interested if someone invites them directly. the opportunity to work in the crypto space for both men and women is so dominating and I think it is quite high women's interest in crypto and increasing every year, if women's interest in crypto continues to grow I think bitcoin will be easier to recognize with the easiest method, towards the future.

bitcoin does not have a brain, does not have a soul, does not have arms, does not have legs, does not have a mouth, does not have eyes, does not have genitals

bitcoin does not care about gender. bitcoin does not look for particular gender, bitcoin does not priorities gender

however in any society. you have to look at real things
peoples own preferences for their own career, work, hobbies and preferences.. and yes women and men do have their own preferences

Technology industries are dominated by men due to the fact that men are introduced to small technological gadgets at an earlier age. For example, only 16 percent of women enter undergraduate education in computer science.

Despite attempts to encourage women to code, the number of female computer science undergraduates in the UK has fallen over the past 10 years.

In parallel with the interest of men in technology, in the early days of Bitcoin, the innovators interested in this digital currency were predominantly men. It took some technical knowledge to use the Web back in the day, and the same is true for Bitcoin today.

Finally, if Bitcoin is wanted to make progress and complete its revolution, this cannot happen by ignoring one half of the population. The more women are included in this community, the more positive reflections they will have.

Women are said to be weak where men are more powerful and unbreakable. And with the nature of bitcoin that involves higher risk, men mostly want to engage in it because it creates a challenge for them not just to overcome the risks but to gain a lot after. They want to take advantage where there are opportunities, which I think women are quite slow when it comes to that because of their feminine characteristics that push them to act ladily compared to the very strong and aggressive men.

But it does not mean that women are left behind when it comes to the success on bitcoin. As much as men have become more intense in achieving bitcoin sucess, women as well have become highly competitive as men.

I think we have to go back in time and follow a historical approach to it. When were women allowed to go to school, participate in elections, work and earn money? Women started participating in most crucial aspect of life few hundred years after civilization. Technically, their brain isn't expected to think like men do in these part of life. Women were told to focus more on house keeping and training children. Hence, in the growth of their brain, it'll take longer until women begin to take monetary risk like men. Same can be applicable to bitcoin, it's a new idea and before women begin to venture into it, more decades would pass. Although, I see women heading most crypto projects and organizing cryptocurrency conferences for women. And these women are mostly the few women we can see in the computer science department. For instance, in the university, the computer science department can have about 10 women and 200 men. And it remains like that across many other universities. Not all of them can understand software development, how would they involve in something they don't know about. Added with the fact that in the society women spend time with fellow women than men. Who would influence them to do what they're into today. A lot of female programmers, I've met, were influenced by their male friends or brothers. While the whooping number of female nurses were influenced by their mothers to study nursing. Hence, the point remains that you can't give what you don't have. Because their mothers whom they listen to and spend time with advice them on the career to follow, they'll definitely follow that route. Generations to generations it'll keep repeating itself, because of the long time denial women faced in the society.

I know a couple of women who are involved with Bitcoin. I am really not surprised, actually, that 10% of the total Bitcoin ecosystem is made up of women. Because women's have some limitations. They aren't like us; they could not take decisions on anything. Women usually don't want to take risks and don't want to lose something. They like to live in a comfort zone. As we know, to become Bitcoin investors, we need enough patience since there is a lot of risk involved. So they don't want to come out of their comfort zones, and they don't have enough time to research like us. They have to maintain families as well. I am not sure if others agree with me, but these are my thoughts.

It's because women are risk averse, which means that they decline to take risk unlike men. Maybe because they just wanted their men to do everything for them just like what you said, stay at home moms. Or it could be how they are build as compare to men, with all of our testosterone in our body, we think that we can go and take that huge risk and win the end, just like in gambling.

And if you say 10% or at least that numbers, it huge already and who knows, as the world is changing an going into a lot of phase about gender and everything what's inside of it, maybe we can see more women trying to removed that stigma, join bitcoin or at least involved themselves in crypto market and they might find enjoyment here. I think though there are women already like a CEO of companies related to crypto if I'm not mistaken.

Bitcoin is broad, it’s not only about technical aspects but also the non technical aspects of bitcoin. It’s true women may not be interested in mining, nodes, pow or pos,

 
Some would argue that women are more easy to convince than men therefore they can be easily convinced to invest in bitcoin than men. You’re a famous scambuster in the forum, who do scammers target more…men or women? I would argue that romantic scams, investment scams e.t.c victimize the women folk more than the men.

 
I agree, men and women are different. But we can’t take away the fact that social conditioning has a major role to play in determining what a person “thinks” is interesting to them.

 This thread has been discussed already numerous times but I will still give my own points of view about this.

First, bitcoin requires higher risk than other type of investments. And men are highly risk takers in all life's aspects most especially when it comes to money and newest innovation that will certainly create positive changes in their lives. They want to explore everything that seems new to them. Second, men do not fear from losing and they want to risk even their hard-earned money just to be satisfied with the outcome. As many people say, no risk, no gain. The reason why men are more assertive in all they do and just love to be more independent more than women.

I think that you already partially answered yourself when you manetioned that there are more men in the engineering sector as it is connected to technology, thereore with Bitcoin as well. Man are simply more inteersting in things, while women are more interested in people so that's why even in countries that really tried to even that out (Scandinavian countries) women still rather prefer to be doctors and nurses than enginners.

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.


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, there are more men than women in science industries and we see less men and more women in the art world. Part of the problem for this is caused by societal values and expectations, society determines the roles both genders play in the world. Women are naturally empathic, expressive and caring, this makes society place certain roles on them like nursing, teaching, interior design e.t.c

It will be helpful if you added the source where you got the statistics. I would like to think there is a balance of male-female ratio in the tech industry.

The post I quoted would, honestly, be offensive to some women. I will agree (re: "keeping the house") women are often more "financially protective" and less likely to take risks than men. Sometimes, keeping the house doesn't mean cleaning and Women's work, it literally means do not lose the house by messing up financially. From the start the Bitcoin Community has seen many more men present than women, it has improved in recent years.

There is probably a bunch of reasons that more men end up in finance and tech compared to women.  Part of it is probably just because those areas have traditionally been more male-dominated, so it is kind of a cycle that is hard to break out of and  theres also definitely some social and cultural norms going on that kinda pushes ladies away from those kinds of jobs.  For example, in many cultures or families, there is this traditional expectation that the man is supposed to be in charge of the big money decisions.  And that can go beyond just the family and make women feel like maybe finance isnt for them.  Plus women not seeing a lot of other women in those fields or having the same opportunities probably has something to do with it too.  A lot of it is probably just perceptions and stereotypes about what kinds of careers are appropriate for women versus men.  So yeah, no single reason, but its an interesting thing to think about why we dont see more gender balance in certain industries.

Definitely room for improvement there!

The truth about this is that most women do not  have the strength to withstand the pressure of Bitcoin volatility. A woman is not as strong as a man when it comes to handling some issues. Women that are into Crypto today paid the price. Not all women like to go to that length to subject themselves to stress and things that can make them develop High blood pressure.
Another thing is that women are busy with keeping the house and other easy business. But with the way the world is going and the level of education in the world, there will be more and more ladies in the crypto space.
