Bitcoin Forum

It's undeniable men changed proportional to bitcoin, women didn't change for it.
whenever I give men bitcoin they will hold it
Whenever I give it to women they will sell it for $$$
Just deal with it women love money > bitcoin

In my opinion you have described your opinion logically. Of course, men want to earn as much money and you are all competing with each other. Women like to spend money and therefore they have less patience than men, but not all, to the majority .

Oppose to spending the money
Holding bitcoin is difficult, holding fiat is much safer.
And yeah I try to tell them to spend it on bitcoin. They would still go for fiat.

Nihil novi, this is a well known fact that men are more in to tech, since and development in general.
We can clearly see it here, on forum we have over representation of men (imo a good thing :_p)
Behavioural evolution thought women to love shiny stuff, utilities and resources more than everything else.
It would be unfair to have some sort of pretensions against women living accordingly to their nature.
Unfair and even stupid because we are just different, diametrically and obviously in deep need of each other.
Don't let the new anti-woman narration fool you, it is designed to divide and conquer, separated and antagonised people are easier to rule. #MGTOW #redpill those "ideology's" are on a must know list but everything driven to the extreme may be harmful.

It is interesting to observe the behavior of the tendency toward fiat, since both of them are readily spendable, what could be the reason fiat has a better position in their mind.

Never give my girl any bitcoin, or not want to teach her about it. It will be hard for me to tell her what is bitcoin actually and my girl seems not really interested with what i do in job. That is why i wouldn't waste my time to teach her about this.

This is not true in all cases, you too certain all women sell, have seen some that are ready to hold for long term.


At first mine wasn't ready to learn, but when she saw the profit coming from it, she got on board.

I've got some things in my mind regarding your opinion here:

- Men who have responsibilities and have got nothing in hands but Bitcoin, won't hold but sell them not for the sake of profits but to pursue their responsibilities smoothly, same applies to those women who come in the same category.

- Women who are independent, have ^spare^ money to invest and keep it aside for a side income whereas they've got a real world job to survive on other hand, will definitely hold their coins for a duration even longer than men can hold, same applies to those men who come under the same category. So, you can say that women are less in crypto space compared to men; but pointing a question towards their hodling capability is not fine at all. I know one of my female friends who held her BTC till that 2017 spike and sold when it was $14k (although she wanted wanted to sell at a million bucks, she had been hodling them since 2015 so it was a great return to her patience).

I could accept some independent women are successful, but when I look at the top crypto hodler list, I could barely get any women in the list, something that make me cannot convinced they are fine with being in the list.

It's a fun topic after a long time on bitcointalk! Let me answer it in a fun way!


You give bitcoin to a collage kid, he may want to hold it for a bigger profit. You give bitcoin to a man with responsibilities, he will sell it for take care of his responsibilities. So it entirely depends on the situation of receiver.


Same theory goes for women as well. You give bitcoin to a woman with Kids, she may sell it to buy something nice for her kids. You give bitcoin to a woman who is earning well, she may want to save it for future to get a good profit margin. Even after being a man, I personally believe that women are more goal oriented people. They don't always spend their earning in useless shopping but save for unforeseen future.


We all do! In my country, there is no scope of using bitcoin directly to any merchant store. So I always covert it to local fiat so that I can use it. It's more of a practical issue that psychological one I believe!

Between hodling and spending in bitcoin
I found they tend to turn it into fiat and hodl the fiat to spend it
Definitely fiat > bitcoin in their heart.

looks to me that women are playing more secure according to your perspective, but i also have heard of bitcoinistic women.

The most common complaint I get from them are the price up and down, in fiat generally, I often tell them to hodl it despite the USD value up and down everyday, their bitcoin value are still the same, but they just couldn’t stop complaining the same worry they have, I think fiat have better security because it didn’t “up and down so often”?

hodl will not save bitcoin, not at all

The only explanation I can some up with is the lack of patience. Girls are typically way, way less patient than boys.
They make emotion based decisions, so everything that requires deeper analysis or cautious approach will be handled differently or discarded entirely. Hodling is undoubtedly such type of behaviour ergo women will be less likely to perform it.
As it turns out, no technical factors are in play here, only good old fashioned varying behaviourism of the sexes.

I don’t recommend them to trade the bitcoin.
Just imagine today is my little daughter birthday and I gift her some bitcoin instead of fiat and told her to spend the bitcoin in anything she want, the first thing she would do is convert it to fiat, fiat is the thing that she really want for her birthday, now you should get why I believe fiat > bitcoin for them.

This is your misconception because everyone loves money more than Bitcoin. Why do you invest in Bitcoin, is it because of the money it brings? Women are money lovers, but they are also people who know how to eliminate the desire to reduce investment risks.

As I have said in other thread, it has something to do with how men and women are design.. Men is obviously, testosterone ridden, so we love challenges and risk. And we all know that investing in crypto is a big risk so men tend to lean on that way. However, women are "risk averse".


https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/riskaverse.asp

So maybe that's one reason why we don't see women in the top crypto hodler's list.

I don't think it is anything to do with risk, we are dealing with a currency, just like Japanese yen, rupee etc, and this currency is bitcoin, I don't have any problem to hold many kind of different currencies, and I don't really care about the exchange rate all the time, even if the JPY are going to slide 10-20% tomorrow I would care nothing about it because it is just a currency after all, why would I need to busily exchanging my foreign currencies all the time?

Risk aversion may work for risky asset/investment, I don't think it is the same for currency, we don't have any feel to currency fluctuation, it is all about something else.

I think the "adoption" crypto started to gain was mostly for "investors" who have had been mostly men, and women are least when it comes to investment category compared to men in number as they put their money where their mouth is. I'm not saying that all women are hodling their coins, but most of them (who are involved in crypto and have good knowledge about it) do as it's obvious if they"invested" in BTC for profits and must be knowing that making money takes time in any case.


Dude, Bitcoin is too much volatile compared to those fiat currencies and you are risking your money while buying and keeping (here: holding) it. We don't feel the difference in fiat currencies' fluctuations because they don't affect your entire capital and you can't really gain such promising returns you get through Bitcoins' trading and even vice-versa could happen.

Perhaps so many do but not all. Women are also quite capable of in-depth analysis and thinking for the future. You now have in mind the prevailing stereotype. But in reality there are a lot of women in crypto, and many choose the strategy of holding. It is just impossible to count their number, as there is a great opportunity to preserve anonymity.

Volatility may be the characteristic of bitcoin, but what if you keep all your wealth into Fiat, how does it hedge against fluctuations, and for me it is more risky to keep entire wealth in one currency, we wouldn’t know what in future the particular currency would worth nothing. Btw I’m very sure hodling bitcoin would be a no brainer deal, it’s up to the individual taste.

When people see bitcoin in investment view, they will hold it for sure.
When they just sold it away, they just want to make easy / quick profit.

It's normal thing because there are only two type of people in the aspect of life,right ?
So how do you want to be ? Be a man or a women ?

It depends on individuality and not sex some men love money more then women, some men can not hold money for long not to even talk of bitcoin that is a highly volatile commodity and at that the ought of wanting to exchange it to faint is always there. So in my own opinion both men and women love money and it all depends on individuals difference.

Hold for how long? And when will know the time to sell? this is the big point. We always expect people to hold their bitcoin, but the question of who holds is: how long he most hold?


You are giving something that allows you to buy things that she wants, that's the same as giving you bank card. And you should not expect the person to hold. Hold is an investment strategy for those who do not have the time and do not know how to do day trade

I think it’s not about being the right gender, it’s more of changing for something, you won’t be able to change gender as easily as changing for the bitcoin

Do you know how to change them to accept bitcoin? Obviously it would take me a lot of efforts to change them. And I don’t think I could change them into doing anything, but bitcoin did change a lot of people. And I think it’s easy to tell who had changed for it.

Just hodl it like any currency, and spend it just like a currency.

There is a lot of services readily to accept bitcoin, of course hodling currency is a no brainer decision, hodling USD, JPY, Rupee, Euro, but why not bitcoin?

Not to generalize, maybe most women does, but not all... Same goes for boys. And I think it really depends on the situation and their decision making.  In my opinion, gender doesn't really have anything to do with it.

Women are more pragmatic in this regard than men. They like to have something foreseeable. Therefore, the song sings that women’s best friends are diamonds, not bitcoins. Women will appreciate cryptocurrency only when it is regularly used as a means of payment. When they realize that Bitcoin is money, then the attitude towards them will change.

I'm not trying to be prejudice against women on bitcoin, but I think we need to work harder to bring more women into Bitcoin but not content to what we already have today, undoubtly I'm not happy with how few women are actually interested into bitcoin. But how are we going to change women? Men are easy to change for Bitcoin.

I can say that my wife is not among those women who exchange bitcoins for fiat and spend them mindlessly. She is here in crypto with me, therefore, we have common views on the use and purpose of cryptocurrency.

You are weird man, I don't know how this idea came into your mind.
Personally, bitcoin change me, I use to go outside and look for women, now I just stay home and make BTC.
I don't know about women handling BTC because I never give BTC to my partner, I always convert my BTC to cash then give it.

Reality is, more men are interested with BTC than women, just like in the investing world, we can't see a lot of women because they are not risk takers by nature, they love to play safe, find a job and settle down. We, men are different, we think the other way, we want to quit our job and take a risky journey.

I have read articles that saying 90% of users are men and the 10% are women, it seems that there is psychological explanation about it. In my home, my 2 brothers are interested to what is bitcoin but my 2 sisters are not interested. Actually, I finding a good explanation why men are more interested to cryptocurrencies than women.

I believe no one will want to be risk takers, especially in today, men used to be working on some of the riskiest industry but look at what men today? They shun risk all the time. Centuries ago, it used to be men going to work, and women are usually housewives, but time has changed today. Women taken up most of the task used to be men dominated, think about truck driver, forklift driver, programmers, gamers, super hero cartoon, Mascot characters, pilots, all of them are men to women. And about women don't like risk, I don't believe this is true, we used to think pilot truck construction workers are some of the high risk jobs, but we are seeing more and more women getting into this high risk jobs, is it the meaning of risk is delusional to them, or it has changed the meaning from time to time, it become no risk because women get on board? it is up for the debate, but it is out of scope of this topic. I think it is a very positive revolution, and I would like to see the same for bitcoin too.

Finally the statistic we have all been waiting for. Is there anywhere where
we can view the actual results of your scientific or statistical study?

I mean you must have carried out a survey with possibly 100 people or
maybe 1000 people, men and women from various social standings and
age groups. We all know of course that without it posting a huge statement
like you did would just bunkum.



This is not what the OP is stating. He states that women he gave bitcoin to
simply cashed out for FIAT Because the simply love it more than bitcoin.
(pretty much like a large percentage of men on this forum who are just
holding bitcoin to wait for their lambo)

You can also give an example without the participation of bitcoin, to give a large amount of money to a man and a woman, a man will either invest or buy a house, a woman will stand a holiday and will spend money, I think everything in the process of evolution, because in many countries, traditionally, the financial investment of the family depended on the man, that's the result, and bitcoins have nothing to do with it.

I don't have my actual study to back my claim but if you can accept some stats I could find then go ahead and get it a try.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats


Male to Female Ratio:   4.7:1

This is a complete redundant post there is no message in this and it's only constituting unnecessary spam in this forum it should be moved to the trash bin

All that tells me is that there are 4.7% more men on the forum than women
if everyone has stated correctly their gender.

It doesnt back your claim that women, and you clearly mean all women of
the human race would, and particularly the women you gave bitcoin to simply
and immediately sell it for cash.

And I you and many others would know that this would arise so they could buy
makeup, clothes and jewellery.

This is just a massive generalisation

I got an idea that I should spend Bitcoin on stripper so that she can spend back on me .
I guess nothing can be easily spent then the cash in pocket.If you have some spare cash in wallet you tend to spent it on things that are not needed but "good to have" only.
