Males dominate the whole coding nerdy sector so it makes sense. More women are using bitcoins now though because it's becoming more mainstream. Also women  as a whole are less risky than men and bitcoins are very risky. Source? How much do you pay for car insurance? How much do women your age pay? Nuff said.

my guess is old school, just it might be that guys are the ones expected to go out and earn the money / put food on the table,

so things like this are possibly as a "venture" like male working / earning.

I know the stereotype is that women are better at savings / personal finance tips, this is riskier, so the overall male presence at least fits those archaic stereotypes.

Not to sound prejudiced though! Anything is possible for anyone

Perhaps this data is accurate. While in fact, I tried to investigate how many women know Bitcoin and the answer is no woman knows it. Is not Bitcoin really popular or is it because women are not interested in virtual currency?
It is not really surprising, most men are into finances, you will see that in occupations like that, men make the majority simply because that is something we have natural inclinations, that does not mean that women cannot be interested on finances, but it is one of those domains dominated by men.

I wonder why people are so in disagreement with the 97% number? Seems fairly accurate to me. There were 4 who claimed they were women in this thread out of 131 posts above mine. That's about lol, 3% exactly. Also taking a binomial distribution with results closer to the end of a spectrum converges faster. In other words, the sample size doesn't need to be nearly as big if the number was closer to 50%.

The combination of Men being more risk takers and more into technology stuff makes 97% a very believable number.

Go to a poker table and you'll see most of them are guys. Stock trader people on the news are also mostly guys.

Sure 97% could be off, but I think it is probably very accurate. If I was to forecast the future. I believe this number will converge to 50% when the whole world is using Bitcoin. Cheesy

I hate to break it to you guys, but I think we may be nerds.

In all seriousness though, I guess it's merely a reflection of how few women are in tech, amplified by cryptocurrencies being on the fringe of the fringe. The question of why so few women are in tech to begin with would probably be worth a debate on its own.

I don't know how they did those surveys and came up with that percentage of male bitcoin users but I think that's not accurate at all. There may be lots of male in bitcoin community but the 97% is quite too much. Well anyway, I think there are more male than female in this community because most men are geeks. There are more males interested in technologies and stuffs than female. I think more women are much interested in social interaction, cooking, beauty and health stuffs.

Because it requires technical knowledge, women don't want to reveal that they are Bitcoiners, meetsups are techy dudes but the real reason lack of sufficient women entrepreneurs taking Bitcoin as a payment method for consumer goods. Avon and those other MLM's for women stuff Mary Kay cosmetics etc get a few to take the coins and people will come maybe not in droves at first but as they get more knowledgeable the skewed demographic will eventually change.

It is exactly true in my country which bitcoin there is illegal. Only 1% people(less than 1 million) know about bitcoin and 99% them are male.

Maybe the reason behind that is because males are the risky type of people compared to females in terms of new discoveries. Even though bitcoin is just a new established cryptocurrency, males have already take its risk and not mindful of the consequences he might get in it. Also men needs that capability to earn using bitcoin to sustain his financial, leisure and fun needs. That maybe the reason why males are building up to 97% of bitcoin community.

Usually men/boy/male are the ones who were really that adventurous and taking every task as a challenge by not thinking of the risk associated with it. In bitcoin, you need trust to make it possible for you to come up with an investment proper. But before you can gain the trust, you must try it first by taking its risk since you do not know it yet. That maybe the reason why males are dominant in bitcoin industry.

The tendency of men in search of a new thing, that's what causes why it happens.
Sometimes men are more active in searching for something easy and profitable

That 97% completes the study that males are required to fulfill fathers duty or task which informs us that male is the one who's responsible to work and earn moneys. I do believe that males satisfy all the campaigns requirements being a risker and fulfills ones duty.

This may be true to an extent only. Other important thing that this is more of a technical as understanding about its working and functionalities and might be many female would not be into technical due to which there is a huge difference between both the %.


That’s the main reason for huge difference between ratio of male and female users. Females usually lack interest in digital things and latest technologies. They prefer simple things though. Males are very much attracted to all this and have sound knowledge of latest technologies which help them perform better than females in these fields. Same is the case with bitcoins usage.

Most women are risk-averse and like what they perceive to be "sure things."

I couldn't agree , I think the men are risk takers naturally and given the volatile nature of Bitcoin it makes sense that just a few women will risk investing in it but the men are generally going for it whether or not it's a good investment.

I don't think it's 50/50 as some of guys said, but I think the percent of ladies here is something close to you say. I was reading some previous comments in this thread and noticed only few girls, so, among all this comments it is exactly like 2%, simple calculation which is telling us that the author is right.

I don't really think that it is true ,
how could it happen that bitcoin is being used world wide and only 3% of its user is a woman or a girl,
And also the bitcoin was made to hide the information of its user or to send it anonymously how could they know the gender of the user's,
They couldn't really calculate it since there are plenty of bitcoin wallets out there.
I quite agree with that study because even in my immediate environment, the ones who knows about bitcoin mostly guys and I have only met a lady who knows little about it compared to the amount of guys I have met. Aside that again, when it comes to bitcoin community large percentage is coming from gambling in which the majority of the people there, are equally guys simply because ladies by default are reserved compared to guys.
Yeah there are huge amount of guy's who are using it but we can't really say that it is only 3% of who are currently using it is a lady,
Like what I have said earlier we can't really count the percent of it since there are plenty of bitcoin wallet or if you are going to use the number of bitcoin gamblers there are also lot's of website that they could play.
And we can't really tell what's the gender of the other gamblers are because we could only see their IGN or in game name.

Patriarchy tells women they belong in the kitchen.
What country you are from  Cheesy this is 2017 and we are talking about women belonging in the kitchen,it all depends upon how much interest you have to a particular thing,may the most of the women does not find the bitcoin community fascinating but i am sure there are more women in the bitcoin platform.
