According to the website https://coin.dance/stats males make up 97% of the Bitcoin community. Why is the Bitcoin community dominated by guys?

As what I have observed in my country, some boys or most of the boys were exposed to the computer more than girls. They played online games with pop up above ads during or before playing the game. Also based on my observation and experienced, boys are good in programming and logic. For me, boys are smarter than girls. I am one of the girls and I believe this is true based on my theory.

Nah, maybe boys are more techy thing than girls that's why many are here are men but we don't know what's the real score. Let's not make this an issue, men and women are all equal here, no gender bias and no one are taking for granted in what their gender.

For campaign management, please pm me.

Because most of female has trust issues. lol just kidding I am also female and this is the first time I have heard this data since I've got lots of female friend in bitcoin. I don't think this is accurate since there are lots of account where they did not state there gender because of some security purpose.

I do not think that these data are accurate, because bitcoin is anonymous and women can use it under a false name. Here for example, many scammers use it, but no one will know their gender.

Indeed. We don't actually know what's the real gender of the users here in the forum. We can't tell by their user name. And don't say that bitcoin is dominated by men if you don't have basis like surveys. I think men and women are all equal here, no gender stereotype just equality.

he did not say that bitcoin is dominated by men Undecided

and in this forum we anonym no one knows the gender of all members here also allows using false gender. I think gender is not a big thing because as you say men and women are all equal.

Nothing wrong about these stats since years women were not allowed to rise and now people are getting aware that even women get equal rights. Just see around you we still say men are the one who runs the house but by next century (If earth survives) we will see a world with equality and second biggest problem why only males because we often see girls nowadays don't even work and they feel all this stuff boring

Probably because most of the men think they have to work to make money. So they choose to work. While their women prefer to take care of the household rather than work.

I'm agree here. I'm a girl and when I tell to my girl friends about bitcoin they just roll up their eyes hahahaha
I think girls are more about classic ways to make money as to work on the boss or to be the boss and hold the own business. There is no doubt that there is female in the area of crypto currencies, girls who really know the subject and interested in it, but the percent is actually few. I would like to see here the voting about who are you: male or female on the forum to see how many sisters there are here Grin

That is totally wrong and inaccurate. I don't know how they came up with that statistics but that is definitely not true. Maybe if they conducted a survey with a hundred people they encountered randomly they will really get that percentage. One example that I can cite is the facebook group that I've joined just recently which is composed of members using coins.ph, a btc wallet in Philippines. I've observed that most of them who are actively posting and commenting are females. That 97% is really a joke. You can say that 70% might be the safest percentage since we all know that mostly guys are the ones who are interested in this kind of stuff but there really is no way of telling the exact numbers. But this shouldn't be an issue. Everyone wants to earn and that's all that matters.

I'm not really surprised by this information, because I myself knew about it before, unlike us, women do not like to explore and learn, they are not creative, they always follow the mold, so, they do not know about bitcoin.

Kidding aside, I don't think 97% of bitcoin users/community is male. Where did OP get this number? There is really no concrete answer to this unless there would be a census that would determine the composition of the users. Though, I don't think 97% would be the answer. Probably males dominate it but not really at those levels. Probably a 60% or 70%.

There's absolutely no way of knowing of course but it feels like an extremely believable figure to me. This is still the cutting edge of nerddom and it's also seething with hostility. Deffo willy owning territory still.

I think it's because crypto currency is connected to computer things and most of female are not interested in computer things and most of male are known about computer. Actually i'm not surprised that bitcoin community is full of males lol. There are also many females out there who is using bitcoin, but most of them never show theirself.

No, the computer things are equally interested to both the genders. I just doubt the credibility of coin.dance's surveys/calculations. There will be no obvious methods are available to identify the gender of one crypto enthusiastic then how we can say 97% are male. It is an anonymous world and everyone value their privacy hence unveiling wrong gender must being consider as another layer to their protection levels.

I'm guessing that it has something to do with risk taking behavior. Males are much more likely to take risks than females, from running across a busy street to sky diving, and crypto trading is very risky business. So it probably appeals more to males than females. That's my theory anyway

When I was skydiving as a student I found out it was a good way to encounter girls. There were more guys but there were a good 25% of girls.

When I was in "community college" for networking & telecom there was one girl out of 100 guys. Advanced maths, 1 girl (just immigrated from Africa) out of 35 guys. Then I did an Economics, Sociology, Law combined course, oh boy, girls, girls everywhere !

It's either not very interesting for the average girl or they don't like the idea of something not physically being there. 97% is maybe a little bit extreme but yea it's logical in a sense that women are less interested in this kind of stuff. But I fail to understand how this is relevant to the contribution on this forum. It doesn't matter if one has a sausage between it's legs or not. If the contribution and constructiveness of one's post is good then why would we even bother caring wheter one is male or female?

Because there are very few women in STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). Feminists argue that men in those fields are biased against women and don't want to accept them, opponents argue that women naturally less interested in STEM disciplines. So, if you want to understand why there are less women than men (even though the data in your link might be incorrect), you should search for "Women in STEM" in general.

That's true, but that doesn't really explain the 97% number, seems like a far bigger gap than in other STEM fields.
I'd be very wary of the methods they used to get this result.

What's the ratio here on the forum, for example? Are there any stats?

It is really hard to say that there are only 3% of female population in bitcoin industry. Maybe if we do talk about females population in this forum that might be pretty accurate or less

These statistics may not be accurate. People can fake sex. In my opinion, the proportion of men is still higher than that of women
I think men are more accessible to bitcoins than women. I'm not talking about intelligence, but the level of understanding, access to technology of men better than women. Women are quite passive in many things.
