I think this has something to do with how a specific gender uses their access to the internet. I think there are more males that are adventurous and risk-taking than females. And women tend to spend almost all of their time online in social networking sites. It is also possible that women don't take posibilities that came from the internet. And bitcoin has a game feeling in it so, men are more hooked into it.
That is right, there is no gender preference here and we don't know how much women are here in the forum as we don't have any status or data that could give it. Actually, I have a female friend here in bitcoin and she is doing well as she can do trading as well and signature campaigns, it is really the willingnes of the people how well he/she will be here so far.

I've also asked this in our local forum as it is very difficult for me to find a crypto group with many female members. It is not just in crypto but in finances in general that you observe this low participation. It could be due to risk appetite as with investment vehicles. It could also be the fact that, even in this modern age, women retain home-making roles and tasks that consume most of their time. Those I know who are into bitcoin and altcoins are either already in tech industry or have partners in tech or financial industry.

2000 people for survey matter isn't something huge subject to measure and it just for American only, while in Asian women also involved on Bitcoin and Altcoin community like you are already seen on ICO project these days. That you can find woman involved on those project to help develop the project.
I think that in the overall amount of the users of bitcoin and also the other cryptocurrencies, it is still more men than women in ratio for comparing the numbers of both side and i think the reason is the women are not really into opportunities like this because they are more into being a mother to their child and also focusing more into jobs rather than being an opportunist.

Because most girls actually do not like to invest, the investment risk is very high. Women value stable and do not like adventures.

This is a really interesting question. Women are really not into cryptocurrencies like a man. Men are aggressive in nature, men like to take a risk. On the other hand, women don't like to take any risk. Women are suppressed in nature. That's the one of the main reason why women are not in the bitcoin. But not all the women. There are some women who are doing really great. Even some women are doing better than us. I personally know a woman, who is really master of bitcoin and bitcoin trading. So women are also involved in this crypto.

Take a look around the crypto community, both in meatspace and online, and it would be fair to say that the majority of participants are male. This is borne out in a recent survey of 2,000 Americans which shed light on the makeup of the bitcoin space, highlighting a stark gender divide. In fact Google Analytics data estimates less than 4% of bitcoin users to be female. The question is, why?

Not sure how seriously to take this topic - and not really the original (valid) question - but most of the responses are just silly. So I'm a dude but I'm aware of many incredibly talented women in blockchain/crypto/bitcoin - and I'm proud to be working with some of the best both in terms of engineers and public relations. Our parent company's CEO is a woman - and a big supporter of women in technology - and well tbh there aren't enough women in technology in general - let alone "bitcoin".

Actually, I'm really buzzed: there are so many unbelievable beautiful "girls" on twitter with all kind of crypto hashtags.
(most of them, russian)

Two possibilities:

1) they are men just trying to catch attention at any price

2) they are real girls trying to find a bitcoin millionaire.

Do you have other explanation?


Maybe they are just girls who are interested in bitcoin or more importantly blockchain? Girls who work in IT start-ups (scandalous!!!!)? Girls who have PhD in computer science (impossible?) Girls who have finance background (ridiculous?)
This all is possible because now women are more socially active than men as now women are educated and they can do all thing that a man use to do, girls are having sharp mind than men now, girls are able to serve the country they can be doc, they are teachers, they are now working in banks and a lot of other things so why they won’t use bitcoin, if they have skills and information they will use it to help her family.

i believe part of the reason could be that men tend to be more aggressive and women tend to be suppressed. there is also the notion that tech in general is a man's field and also safe spaces for women in the blockchain world have not been created. also there needs to be more role models so that other women can aspire to be like them.
In which century do you live!
Its 21st century. women are more dominating then men.
The reason behind this is the women love materilistic things. They enjoy what they have right now.
Men are more patient about accepting anything.
But women is setting new records everyday.
underestimating women strength will be a confliction because they can do.
The best example is J.K rowlings who don't know about her and her biography.

I think women are more active in their household work than online work. They find it boring . only few women are intereseted in bitcoin . men's are more active in online work. Women have more work in household and in office . they prefer office work than online work. But now a days women's are also showing interest in bitcoin sites.

More active in "household work?" Seriously? Well if you're getting women pregnant typically they will usually end up raising the children thus keeping them at home. Again different countries and different standards.

If you're a woman without children and without someone poking you with small fleshy objects you'll be able to focus on other things.
Generally across the world it’s largely the men who’re forced to earn for the family and women forced to raise children

If you could make a Bitcoin look like a shoe I bet it would help.  Maybe a Jimmy Choo or something like that.

I am also very surprised to realize the marked absence of women in this area. However, this is not exclusive to the bitcoin ecosystem. Over the years I have been involved in multiple financial affairs or technology issues and in most of them the woman is practically absent. I do not think that this is about discrimination, but rather it seems that women have other vocational preferences, since in my country the nursing or psychology schools are filled mostly by women.

Maybe the business is always filled with man and because of that, the statistics is saying that there are more man that's related to cyrptocurrency. Cryptocurrency was mined through block chain and most of the programmers are man so most likely the statistics is true that more man are on the filed of cryptocurrency.
A lot of people who are labelled as “nerds” who also happen to be into cryptocurrency are generally men so it’s kinda a given

Yeah for some reason those fields are generally dominated by women instead of men, it’s pretty much just standard shit imo

in my opinion it's probably because women are more understanding than men but now that those who participate in bitcoin are mostly women, and few men. Although we say that women are always left behind they are home to make a way to divide the family time and work on bitcoin not as men who have difficulty devoting time to bitcoin because they are working for their family. Having women to interact with other people through social media do not like men who are shy to communion people ..

I'm a woman and first time I know about bitcoin that I think it's a man's job,besides that most women are busy taking care of children and households, and not just in the crypto world or online only but in the workplace in the real even more men who work, because in the country I still think that the task of making money is the job of a man.

Well, I remember a good quote by George Orwell:
"A woman's got a sort of mystical feeling towards money. Good and evil in a woman's mind mean simply money and no money."
Women are the real master of the world, so to produce money that they need for shopping, they put men to work.
Why to make an effort to earn bitcoin or whatever, when there are so many men ready to be their slaves?
