Topic: Why aren't there more women in Bitcoin? - page 41. (Read 5972 times)

I agree with you, and a lot of women are afraid of taking risk, guyz can easily forget when dey fail but ladies don't easily forget so they try not to take risk at all so they won't fail

Because women is more than have everyday tasks than men. Specially when the women are working then they have a lot of work when they got home at the same time taking care of the children so they have no time to set infront of the screen working with bitcoin. Aside from that men are more agressive when it comes to new challenges and opportunity.

Being Bitcoin a quite technical thing, it is quite obvious that it will especially attract males, who are statistically more interested in technical issues. For the same reason you will find almost only males working as a car mechanic.

Check out Blythe Masters and Tiffany Hayden.

Just saying that in particular, Hayden is pretty strong in her ripple knowledge and is really active on Twitter. She is obviously an XRP holder and can appear shill-ish at times but she really knows her stuff.

Masters was a former Wall Street big shot who is running an Etherium based blockchain project if memory serves. It’s based out of Brooklyn.

I think it has something to do with the women's personality. They are more like engrossed in girly activities like shopping etc. And I ask one of my friend girl about this, she said it is something which requires patience and it looks boring. Well, we should just respect her.

Because most of the women are busy doing household chores and maybe they are also job outside that's why they don't have time to get in front of computer all the time,but somehow there are also women doing bitcoin.They have the capability to manage their time between their family, current job and Bitcoin.

In order for my answer to be accurate I interviewed my girl friends and most of them answer that they prefer scrolling through social media sites rather than posting here in bitcoin and improving their lives.. Also they said that they are too lazy and they also prefer scrolling girly things in fashions sites. Women are not inclined to technology stuff rather than men for example at an early age we men play computer games unlike girls they read books.

maybe not many women know what the usefulness of bitcoin in his life and maybe also they do not understand how to use it on the bitcoin give pleasure and to the beauty for the audience there must be coordinate in order to know what is bitcoin so men in the more eager to agree

Well that just the fact men are so aggressive and at that are ready to take risk, while men go for the work before the fruit, women on the other seek to see the fruit first before they can be motivated to work. Technology generally is seen as a man field and also most women believe only what they can see physically and don't believe in online stuffs they think is a scam.

There are more women in Bitcions than you can imagine. Bitcoins transaction is anonymous , I wonder how the survey can make such conclusion that there are few women into bitcoins.

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.

Most of the people who are connected to business are always man and because of that, the statistics says that there are more man who are linked to bitcoins rather than woman. Woman are always at home and taking care of the children and i think, that is the number one reason on why there are not that much woman who's an investor of bitcoins.

Absolutely agree with you! I think that there are many women interested in bitcoin. After all no one knows exactly who is hiding behind some nicknames - a man or a woman.

There aren't many women in this camp, that is a fact. Since the school it's possible to perceive informatic/technology subjects attract more men interest than women, so it's normal to have more men in Crypto-Currency world as it's related to informatic/technology. It's not about discrimination, we are just observing a fact and commenting about it, or have the political correctness patrol ever forbid talks about 'gender in Crypto-Currency world'?

I never thought if women liked the crypto world. because most women prefer about looks and fashion, and women do not really understand about the world of cryptocurrency even they are not interested to join in this

bitcoin is anonymous and we don't know whos behind the wallet, even on bitcointalk account we don't really know whos using the account if girl or boy, if teen, kid or adult. we are all anonymous here and we cant really tell if there are stats like that.
well in my country where most girls at home and taking care of the children i probably would tell that here most bitcoin users are girls/mother. as they have more time over the net and guys here are working in office and other department.

In my opinion, it is possible for women to participate in Bitcoin but as men, for various reasons they are not girls, but surely men are more involved in the Bitcoin community than by their children. Boys often like to explore and make money in new ways, women also have more people to participate in Bitcoin but less than men

I think in families I earn and invest money men
They are more interested in this than women
But I think bagataye ladies or female TV stars have invested their capital in bitcoin just do not talk about it

This is a problem not only on the user side, but also on the project side.  Here in the US at least, it may come from the larger "STEM" problem of women underrepresented in science fields.

My organization is working to incubate projects that will help to increase adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in underrepresented user groups, including females.  We are also committed to helping tackle the problem of less women involved at the project level.

However, by no means do I believe that Bitcoin or cryptocurrency is "sexist" or "racist".  It certainly is not.  It's a piece of software that a large number of people have agreed to all operate in order to enable a means to store and exchange value through a set of agreed-upon rules enforced in the code.  Nothing more, nothing less.

In order to foster adoption in underrepresented user groups, specific projects to focus on that user segment can have good results.  The goal is a total paradigm shift, but often focusing on smaller subgroups will help reach the "tipping point" more efficiently than broad, unfocused communications efforts.  Though those efforts have their benefits as well.

Here is a short article that our Chairwoman wrote about the diversity issue yesterday:

Title: Women, Baby Boomers, and Diversity in Cryptocurrency and Emerging Technologies

I think it's an important initiative to focus on as we all work to increase adoption.  While adoption is so low, it's really important to have adequate strength through initiatives as well as adovacy to ensure that governments do not effectively regulate the cryptocurrency space out of reach (for projects and innovation) for anyone except the largest players.  If the end result is that only banks can issue cryptocurrency, what have we gained?  That is what we must prevent from occurring.

Best regards,

We should definitely have more women in the crypto space.
The reason I think they are less in numbers is because of
being involved with kids, house matters and day jobs.

These numbers are sure to increase in the next couple of years
