Title: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: AppliedOptimal on September 16, 2019, 09:04:19 AM According to Google Analytics, calculated by https://coin.dance/stats,
Bitcoin Community Engagement by Gender is 90 percent male, and 10 percent female. I know some females on Telegram, but then, you can never be sure because it is Telegram :) https://i.ibb.co/47DG6KX/gender.jpg What is your experience like when it comes to gender in this community? And here is Bitcoin Community Engagement by Age (18+ only) Mostly 24-35-year-olds (48%), followed by 35-44 (28%). Then 18-24 (9.34%) and 45-54 came (9.6%). So the age seems to be showing normal distribution around 24-35-year-olds skewed to the right side. If you are too young or too old, you are one of the extremes. https://i.ibb.co/cCLnFS4/age.jpg Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: mk4 on September 16, 2019, 09:17:46 AM I was expecting it to actually be slightly lower(probably 7-8%?), simply because I barely see women on bitcoin/cryptocurrency conferences besides event hosts(though I'm aware that this is a very inaccurate metric). This is not only in the bitcoin and cryptocurrency industry anyway, but in the technology industry in general, so it's really not surprising.
EDIT: Only 20% of Tech Jobs are Held by Women: https://smallbiztrends.com/2018/03/women-in-technology-statistics.html Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: Mandoy on September 16, 2019, 09:27:04 AM The statistics I guess was just made through random sampling. And of course the result was only due to people who willingly answered the survey. The result is not equal but a rough estimates on the actual number of women and men who are into cryptocurrency. Also remember that people are using fake names online and some wanted to be anonymous thus I guess the result is far from the real situations. But I do agree on some part that the majority of people who are into bitcoin are males.

But I am sure that many females joined in the bitcoin community and they don't show themselves in this forum. That statistic could be a kind of information about the percentage of the people who are using bitcoin.
I guess Google Analytics can depend on each countries population so that it might be different from one country to another country. The female's picture or avatar can not be the information that she is females or not. But no matter how many of them, we need to give information about bitcoin and cryptocurrency for people in out there so they could follow us to use bitcoin and cryptocurrency. That is the important thing that we should do now. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: mk4 on September 16, 2019, 11:03:05 AM We never know how many males and females who get involved in the bitcoin community because there are no right statistics about that. But I am sure that many females joined in the bitcoin community and they don't show themselves in this forum. That statistic could be a kind of information about the percentage of the people who are using bitcoin. Information is available all over the web(though mostly not public). It's not that there's no statistic about the percentage of females in the community, it's just that it's going to be quite inaccurate(because you know, false information on accounts and such). But the point still stands, that even without statistics and with simply being in the community itself, it's pretty obvious that females are a huge minority in the bitcoin community and in the technology industry in general. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: stompix on September 16, 2019, 11:04:41 AM Bitcoin Community Engagement by Gender is 90 percent male, and 10 percent female. Look at the bright side, the female percentage has grown 6 times from 2016: Quote According to figures from Coin Dance, the margin between male and female use of the digital currency is too wide to talk of a balance at this point. In its Bitcoin Community Engagement by Gender using Google Analytics, it shows that there are 98.24% male users compared to 1.76% female. Funny thing is that if you go to https://coin.dance/stats/gender And look at the bottom of the page at the "team", there are no female avatars ;D And also, facebook had (or still has, I'm not sure) at one time at least 50 genders to choose from, so not even one person neither male nor female is interested in crypto? ;D There is no girls on the internet. Are you absolutely positively sure? Or was that a joke?It's a meme, the saying has been around for two decades already and is still used thanks to a lot of guys posing as females in multiplayer games to get free stuff trolls in chatrooms that simply...troll! And it works even here on bitcointalk...see the Alia (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3032057.0)saga. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: nicecrypto on September 16, 2019, 11:07:42 AM Really! How can you not know this without using statistics? It is very obvious that crypto is Male dominant territory, just this forum alone will give you a hint without going as far as seeking out statistics, go to any telegram group chat of any project, you will get your answer, go to any blockchain seminars, you will get your answer, except you have not pay attention ::)
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: buwaytress on September 16, 2019, 11:19:06 AM Don't know why you were so surprised really. It's a tech thing, go figure.
Now supposedly, one explanation is that women are proven to be more risk averse than men. I agree here, and the science seems to be pretty solid on that. However, it doesn't explain why the gender disparity is even more pronounced in, say, developer communities or metrics like github commits. So yeah. It's still a tech thing. Nothing more. You want to meet more women, look at the corporate blockchains where they have wider range of skillsets under employment. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: Linkkoin on September 16, 2019, 11:23:59 AM In general investing is risky thing - and cryptocurrencies as such are more risky.
So far taking a risk was more common among males (a behaviour inherited since hunter-gatherer era of mankind), but it seems that as time goes by, more females are willing to take the risk. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: 1Referee on September 16, 2019, 11:26:50 AM Women are usually more calculated with their moves and more risk averse than men, so in that regard it's more likely to see them either just wait for it to become mainstream to enter, or flat out consider it a ponzi casino type of asset.
I am however aware of how flawed the men versus women metric is on a lot of sites, because for some reason women just check the men box when they sign up to a site. In that regard, I'm actually more interested to see the statistics of KYC exchanges, because you can't cheat there and thus get a more accurate view on what the ratio between men and women really is.

I agree that it would be interesting to see statistics from KYC sites. One way we could get that was to get our hands on that was the infamous binance KYC leak but unfortunately, I missed that. Having said that, I am pretty sure google analytics is very accurate. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: lighpulsar07 on September 16, 2019, 11:43:33 AM I saw this thread last 2017 already i don't know someone reposted this again but in much greater detail anyway, i think why there are more males than females hodling bitcoin is because males are into technological stuff than females but google analytics varies country to country or just gathering data based on details on the internet but i don't know how exactly google analytics works but anyway we don't know how much exactly how many males and females use bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and the community is still growing day by day since the bitcoin is already mainstream in some countries.
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: Sexaphiliac on September 16, 2019, 11:50:21 AM The statistics are impressive although I think the population of females involved in cryprocurrency need to increase. I'm more interested in the 65+ category that make up about 1.43%, it shows that not everyone is as obstinate as Dan Pena and Warren Buffet in terms of welcoming new technologies/inventions.
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: DdmrDdmr on September 16, 2019, 02:09:34 PM <…> What is your experience like when it comes to gender in this community? <…> Specifically on Bitcointalk, if we go by the "gender" profile field we get: It took me a bit to find the post where I’d provided this Information before: I don’t particularly trust the sincerity of the declared values on this field, and there could indeed be quite a large set of people that state a specific gender in accordance to how they believe will be more beneficial to their interests. Isolating the profile values that have been declared we get 82,5% male for 17,5% female. The latter value seems pretty inflated though.<…> Looking over @piggy’s full profile database (generated at the beginning of December 2018), the gender field shows: The male to female ratio is the same as that on the official stats.- Male value informed: 95.831 profiles (3,86% of all profiles) - Female value informed: 20.308 profiles (0,82% of all profiles) - Uninformed or invalid content: 2.365.131 profiles (95,32% of all profiles) Therefore, the ratio, based on the informed gender field, is 4,7 male per female. Now I don’t really believe the above ratio too much. It’s what the data shows, but the gender is highly uninformed on the profiles, and I’ve seen quite a few bot bursts creating accounts and adding a gender randomly. I guess that, due to the lack of female representation, it seems quite usual to refer to apparently male profiles as “she”, especially when the discussion scales a tone or two … Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: Bountyhonter on September 16, 2019, 11:28:53 PM I know many girls/women that are into cryptocurrency so i am surprised by this graph metrics.
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: Tipstar on September 16, 2019, 11:38:43 PM I have a similar experience. Female participation is very low in most of the technical expects and specially cryptocurrency.
There are some female engineers as well as content writers working in this field but almost all of them are employee and there rarely are any crypto based business led by female. This could be due to the social system around the world and empowering women has meant to provide them a salary for helping men in most cases. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: squatter on September 16, 2019, 11:50:11 PM There is no girls on the internet. Are you absolutely positively sure? Or was that a joke?I don't know if 4chan trolls consider it a joke (https://i.imgur.com/f2rLQ.png). :) I guess you haven't learned the rules of the internet. See Rules 29 and 30 (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Rules%2029%20%26%2030): Quote Rule 29 states: In the internet all girls are men and all kids are undercover FBI agents. Rule 30 states: There are no girls on the internet. Only 20% of Tech Jobs are Held by Women: https://smallbiztrends.com/2018/03/women-in-technology-statistics.html In all seriousness, this is probably where the answer lies. It's not just Bitcoin but the entire tech sector. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: coinycoiny on September 17, 2019, 05:44:35 AM Sort of matches the same distribution for cannabis smokers.
I don't think this is a coincidence! Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: Kakmakr on September 17, 2019, 05:54:59 AM Well, Google does not know who the person on the other side of the keyboard is in 100% of the times they are calculating this. A family might share a computer in the house and the son might login with his Facebook account and then his sister might quickly open up her Bitcoin wallet and then Google analytics might link that to the male statistics. ::)
People also share accounts on the Internet and I have living proof of that, because my mother use my computer and email address for her private correspondence, because she does not want to be on the Internet. <Some older people are scared of the Internet> ::) Some underage Bitcoin users use their parents accounts to bypass age restrictions. ;) Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: Paulinerims on September 17, 2019, 06:33:28 AM Men are since ever more interested in technology than women but the trend is changing. Lack of interest shows in studies that women's knowledge about cryptocurrency is lower then that of men. But it all starts with the the fact that many women feel they don't have equal access to finance. With our gendes being more and mroe equal every day we can aspect more women in bitcoin investments
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: AppliedOptimal on September 17, 2019, 06:54:32 AM Well, Google does not know who the person on the other side of the keyboard is in 100% of the times they are calculating this. A family might share a computer in the house and the son might login with his Facebook account and then his sister might quickly open up her Bitcoin wallet and then Google analytics might link that to the male statistics. ::) These deviations are exceptions, they are not the rule. All these exceptions contribute to standard error. Because this is biology (gender) the deviations are expected to be random, meaning some females will use male parent accounts while some males will use female parent accounts. You can put the elderly in the place of children and it will be the same :) At the end, some affect the male ratio positively while some others affect the ratio negatively, so it is not expected to change the result significantly, as in most biology-related data.People also share accounts on the Internet and I have living proof of that, because my mother use my computer and email address for her private correspondence, because she does not want to be on the Internet. <Some older people are scared of the Internet> ::) Some underage Bitcoin users use their parents accounts to bypass age restrictions. ;) Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: jake zyrus on September 17, 2019, 02:31:13 PM This could be inaccurate since they can't really know if it's a real male or female outside the digital world. But I'm not actually surprised at all that the percentage of male is much higher compared to female in bitcoin community. It's kinda obvious though... And as for the age bracket, well it's kinda correct since young ones are most probably into technology but I think the percentage for 18-25 is kinda lower? I don't know. Is it just me who thinks there are more than that?
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: drumamat on September 17, 2019, 08:59:23 PM In principle, I agree with the statistics.Women are really few.I mean those who are interested in cryptocurrency.From 10%, a large portion women who participate in the bounty.With the development of cryptocurrencies, I think this number will only increase.
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: salty on September 17, 2019, 09:40:02 PM It seems to me that such a small number of women is due to the fact that many women simply do not understand cryptocurrencies.But it is also unclear on what parameters this percentage was determined?It seems to me that the numeral should look much larger.
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: pixie85 on September 17, 2019, 10:46:26 PM I know some females on Telegram, but then, you can never be sure because it is Telegram :) At least half of the people on Telegram and Discord who have females in their avatars are males. :D It's funny how many girls have animals and stuff in their profile pictures when guys have busty half-naked girls. Bitcoin falls under investments stocks and companies. There's not many girls in here just like there's not that many female stock brokers or female experts in gold and silver coins or banking. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: rodel caling on September 17, 2019, 11:07:56 PM Is that possible after a year crypto begun popular worldwide specially in the year 2017 during the bitcoin all time high, a lot pf people are begin to interested in the crypto currency what is all about, so possibly a lot of girl adopt crypto in that year. But I don't believe there more girl herin crypto than to men.
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: Hallmader on September 18, 2019, 02:21:23 AM I wonder how Google Analytics did this.
This statistics, as it appears to me, is hardly believable. I mean, really? Women only comprised less than 10% of Bitcoin Community Engagement? Well, first and foremost, how do they measure "Bitcoin Community Engagement?" Or perhaps what is "Bitcoin Community Engagement?" to them? Telegram is just one of the so many platforms where Bitcoin ideas could be discussed. Bitcoin has been discussed online and offline, in the academe, in seminars, in governments, and so on. How could they be able to measure gender in all these venues? Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: rahmatullah9305 on September 18, 2019, 06:43:29 AM LOL You're making fun, I only often see men in the bitcoin and internet communities, maybe you guessed that number wrong and I'm sure 95% in the bitcoin community are just men who have mastered it, including YouTubers and bloggers in the world.
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: AppliedOptimal on September 18, 2019, 10:05:29 AM A lot of people here said that the reason for that is because females are more risk-averse compared to males, meaning they avoid large risks.
There might be some truth there, but then some people claim that conceptual metaphors are common in crypto language and the "lingo" on the crypto world is more male-oriented, which drives the female population away. Here is a good read about the lingo/terminology on the stock market: http://theconversation.com/is-it-a-surprise-women-arent-keen-on-investing-when-the-stock-market-language-is-so-male-oriented-93578 https://images.theconversation.com/files/211652/original/file-20180323-54884-1jyan6y.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&q=45&auto=format&w=600&h=385&fit=crop&dpr=1 Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: JNvak on September 18, 2019, 10:46:22 AM It reminds me of the statistics that CoinDeal once shared (source: https://coindeal.com/news/300k-users):
65% of CoinDeal users are women. Surprised? Yes, I was. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: metallica101 on September 18, 2019, 11:58:37 AM A common opinion is that there are fewer women in crypto simply because they are encouraged to pursue careers outside of finances, in general. Not to mention that many are encouraged not to pursue careers at all. Things will probably equal themselves out, in time. Crypto is still young, and for a lot of people, it can be intimidating. It is an entirely new industry, after all.
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: fullhdpixel on September 18, 2019, 12:32:56 PM I am not surprised about the statistics really, but I am surprised about the fact that you personally expect something higher when I am actually expecting something far lower than that because from your community, your environment, from this forum and the number of people that has spoken of bitcoin in publicity, how many of them would you have seen talk about cryptocurrency.
there is this discussion we have actually had about this in this forum as regards the involvement of women in the cryptocurrency space which many of us agree that the emotion that God has given them is what makes them stay away from things like this, as they see most of these risky ventures as the thing of man that can be handled more by them and that is why they always rely on us sometimes, except the stronger ones.

Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: BitcoinPanther on September 18, 2019, 12:48:37 PM I am not surprised at all, unfortunately you will see similar results everywhere Well, something that we do not know may prove to be correct. Though I would say google statistics have a huge error since many onliner fake their gender. others even leave their gender blank. And it is almost similar because they hold the same data and peole who wanted to create interesting topic get their statistics idea on this data. Sadly we tend to believe this kind of statistics because we are unable to prove that it is wrong. In short, I have a doubt regarding those statistics given by google but I have to somehow acknowledge it since I cannot prove that it is wrong.Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: Diirtmaan on September 18, 2019, 12:58:35 PM According to Google Analytics, calculated by https://coin.dance/stats, Bitcoin Community Engagement by Gender is 90 percent male, and 10 percent female.

So the age seems to be showing normal distribution around 24-35-year-olds skewed to the right side. If you are too young or too old, you are one of the extremes. https://i.ibb.co/cCLnFS4/age.jpg I know some women who do incredibly powerful market analytics, and have earned millions $ in trading. What difference does it make, whether a woman or a man, in the crypto and blockchain the success determines the presence of analytical abilities and critical thinking, and not the gender of a person Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: MetalGear on October 03, 2019, 03:29:13 PM According to Google Analytics, calculated by https://coin.dance/stats, That's natural because most of the position that is related to business, trading and such are usually held by men. Factors might be, it is natural and is already in the culture to have boys in business field making them have the highest chance of being exposed to bitcoin. But on tbe other hand, statistics doesn't guarantee the reliability of the data they got because they only had few and chosen respondents for the reference of their chart. They might have missed or maybe some have faked their genders for identity anonymity or privacy purposes. The gender doesn't count on what's important in the crypto space tho. At the end of the day it's the strategy, intelligence and practicality that counts.Bitcoin Community Engagement by Gender is 90 percent male, and 10 percent female.

Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: Ozero on October 03, 2019, 04:02:10 PM I am not surprised at this result of statistical studies. Cryptocurrency is actually one of the types of commercial activity, one of the types of business. Moreover, this type of business is completely new. Historically, the man was the earner in the family. Therefore, it is not surprising that cryptocurrency is dominated by men. In addition, women are more preoccupied with family problems and they do not have time and necessary opportunities to engage in cryptocurrency.
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: teosanru on October 03, 2019, 04:13:34 PM I am not surprised with the fact that there so less females as you can even see yourself on the forum that there are pretty less females around. The two things about which I am surprised after seeing these charts is that:
1. Proportion of persons 18-24 being so less: We all know that young people who are studying or just in job have more interest in technology and are more aware about recent changes over the web. But i think the non seriousness of such 90skids is the reason of this stats. The 25-34 age group seems so obvious. I thought 18-24 would be on number two. 2. Engagement stat of the age group of 45-54 is soo damn high. I thought people over 45 have a rigid mentality that nothing in this world can do anything to beat traditional governments and I don't blame them for this they have lived most of their life over this idea. So I always thought they might have just comprised of 3-4% of the whole community. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: ice098 on October 03, 2019, 04:37:29 PM I was kinda expecting that there will be more women around age of 40+ though, or maybe the media kinda brought me into a mindset of a lot people tend to be known for being an investor late in their lives. I am not surprised by this, not all women like too much technology I mean there are not focus on the growing technology but instead they are focus on entertainment, beauty and wellness and other stuff. Few of them are interested in this cryptocurrency because we are more practical I think? Though yes we have a time for beauty and wellness and entertainment but somehow we give more time in this community because we know that we can have a better future and money in here.I assume that these would be women who tend to stay in their homes as a housewife to trade Bitcoin while their husband works outside, since it is kinda common thing for that to happen anyways in a family. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: mohdk52 on October 04, 2019, 12:26:59 PM Does it matter?

Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: gentlemand on October 04, 2019, 12:43:28 PM There could be tons of them. If I were female why would I bother mentioning it?
I especially wouldn't make myself known here as I've seen some EXTREMELY strange reactions when someone outed themselves as one of those impossibly exotic creatures. I seem to remember a few posters demanding that they leave immediately. I also enjoy the posts telling us that women are incapable of trading as they don't have the mental capacity and they can be taught about crypto by buying them kittens and shoes.

Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: Shasha80 on October 04, 2019, 01:40:45 PM The Bitcoin community is basically formed to share information about cryptocurrency, there are no rules to discuss
regarding gender issues. So actually there are many male or female members who don't want to have a problem. And if analyzed again it is clear why women are not so interested in bitcoin. Women prefer to expose themselves, so instead of joining this community women prefer to socialize on the facebook, instagram, youtube platforms, etc. If men have a hunting instinct, in modern era not a hunted animal again but we man prefer hunting money. And here is a lot of info on the forum to earn money. So men prefer to socialize in forums like this bitcointalk. That's a little opinion from me why there are more men than women in the bitcoin community. So actually there is no need to look at statistical data, the answer is clear. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: bounceback on October 13, 2019, 06:40:07 AM if we look everywhere the bitcoin community we rarely see women there are only a few women than men because if we think women are better resting at home and cooking in the kitchen for the household rather than work, maybe if you want to see as many women as you can see on social media not in the bitcoin community.
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: Carlton Banks on October 13, 2019, 10:44:15 AM There could be tons of them. If I were female why would I bother mentioning it? I especially wouldn't make myself known here as I've seen some EXTREMELY strange reactions when someone outed themselves as one of those impossibly exotic creatures. exactly it's well known that women discussing technical subjects on the internet are engaging with the subset of the male demographic that is least likely to handle female company gracefully. Tech women learned a long time ago simply to not mention they are female, as it doesn't add anything to the discussion, and is almost guaranteed to cause some problem/friction eventually. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: hatshepsut93 on October 13, 2019, 10:56:46 AM What's the methodology behind this statistic? Does this come from some sort of scraping of public profiles or it was done via a survey? Also, what counts as Bitcoin community - this forum, reddit, twitter, all everything together? Without knowing how this research was conducted, it's hard to evaluate and criticize it, it could be accurate or could be completely off.
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: ChrisPop on October 13, 2019, 11:20:04 AM This is pretty much my experience as well. I have met very little female crypto enthusiasts, but when you meet them they are really special persons. If you look on Twitter though, you will see a lot of girls posing as crypto lovers and posting sexy photos, etc. to market themselves and gain affiliates. Some of them are legitimate blockchain & cryptocurrency advocates, don't get me wrong. Regarding the age groups it makes sense that 25-34 are mostly interested in this space, as the really young generation 18-24 I noticed is kind of lazy and not interested in paradigm shifts of the society..
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: febriyana on October 13, 2019, 02:07:39 PM I am new know the Bitcoin statistic is also with gender and age :o
So if we see there is some Gap between Female and Male. I think that is right because Female only small percentage like about technology. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_disparity_in_computing There is example in programmer, only around 10% female. But for age i think that is our mission to educate people with age around 18-24. Because in that age is young generation. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: Pearls Before Swine on October 13, 2019, 02:13:35 PM I'm not surprised by the data. Most of the members on bitcointalk I'm even the least bit familiar with are male, and there have only been one or two who have stated that they're female, like this one I got a pm from a while back:
;) Digital smooches, I am impressed. Again. Lol At least I *hope* Lorilikes was female, but you never know on the internet. Many members here lie on their profiles so you can't really tell for sure what's what. I don't think the lack of women in bitcoin has to do with the technology, though it could. I believe it has more to do with the fundamental difference between the sexes as far as taking risks goes. Bitcoin and crypto in general is very risky, and I can't imagine women being drawn to it in great numbers. Maybe that will change over time. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: alexsandria on October 13, 2019, 10:16:44 PM I can say two things. First thing, this is just a survey. It is like a random sampling, which means only those people who had been survey and those who are willing to answer it are those who are in the graph. It means that it can alter the real numbers. Second thing, I don't think it is really important to have demographs here in crypto. Cryptocurrencies is for all.
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: deadsilent on October 13, 2019, 10:41:01 PM I think girls are more involved mostly on social media not cryptocurrency. I just assumed it. But it's true that most of women used only social media like facebook, Instagram and etc. Girls use internet just for posting and entertainment. I guess. But look at this interesting study. The study shows that girls are the most active internet users than men. It's not related to cryptocurrency but this could be the reason why they are not aware of cryptocurrency.

Make food for the men? You sound extremely ignorant and stupid with this comment.If we are looking at statistics, the main problem that we see here is that their are less women in the Finance industry and investment/trading industry then men, and obviously this would convert over to crypto-currencies. Nothing that surpising! Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: khaled0111 on October 13, 2019, 11:25:59 PM I am not sure how reliable thoses stats are! Hence can't make a proper conclusion.
What makes me believe those stats can't be correct is the fact that crypto enthusiast tend to hide their real identities and don't reveal their personal info like their gender. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: Broly46 on October 14, 2019, 01:45:23 AM Your wrong I see more and more medium articles written by female author and they’re all for the crypto, and I enjoy reading all of them, you wouldn’t believe it until you get your reality checked. And Google analytics is simply a worse tool one can rely on for any serious research, I’d say they’re mostly exaggerated or simply underwhelming.
Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: mr3dds on October 14, 2019, 02:04:12 AM I think women don't have big interest in techy stuff in general. I nearly didn't came across any girls here. My be I saw one or two at btt.
Also, this generation is the generation of the whole crypto. older guys already passed this point. I think these stats make sense. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: boltz on October 14, 2019, 02:21:03 AM Well at least now we're no longer 98% like the other years so I would consider this a good improvised statistic. Anyway in the next years there will be more females joining bitcoin as there are promos towards this matter ( Fiorentina Women's Futsal , Women's CEO's in projects , UNICEF joining bitcoin where there are a lot of females and so on).
Mostly this is not a bad sign but yea a little bit diversify would be nice to have, in this way we can spread Bitcoin and Blockchain to everyone, its our duty as a community to engage with everyone. Title: Re: Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community Post by: barabarian1 on October 14, 2019, 05:46:57 AM even though the data is not accurate yet I believe it. in the bitcoin community there are definitely more men than women. because I think women don't really like technology. they only use technology for things that are not too important like taking pictures and chatting on social networks. whereas a man is very proud if he successfully hacked a computer. and most bitcoin investors are definitely men. very rarely there are women who want to invest in cryptocurrency. they are afraid their money will disappear. women don't like challenges especially those related to money.
