Bitcoin Forum

Today there are a lot of people getting more included in the world of business that is related to the cryptocurrency and the blockchain and most of the users and the investors are the genders are male. There are only 14.5% of the female are working into the companies of blockchain in the year of 2018, but today the number of female investors, trader and developers are now mastering this profession and the most competitive in the world of the market, and this shown as a good thing because there are inspiring women would like to make a name in the world of cryptocurrency too that can handle and manage the workload like the man can do also by this we are giving the opportunity the woman to show their selves. There are a lot of women today having a good project towards to the cryptocurrency and they contribute a lot by this the combination of skills of male and female into the world of cryptocurrency can make a huge impact to the society. The gender does not exist into the world of business of blockchain and cryptocurrency.

At first I thought it was gonna be some SJW claiming that blockchains have genders too.

Well, women in the blockchain industry isn't something too new. They could take on various roles, like advisor or even in the C-suite. After all, blockchain is just another form of business, just like software companies.

There are a lot of people today getting more project but does not have any contribution at all also most of the people today into the world of trading, business and more on entrepreneurs in for being stereotyping most of the men are do those things but we do not have given attention the woman because they have a potential too but only people appreciate those efforts of this females does want to make a huge contribution into the economy still it is better if we have equity and give fair attention to both genders that can provide a huge contribution and impact to the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain.

There you go. I completely agree with this. Gender discrimination is a thing of the past particularly when it comes to technology. Everybody is now given equal access to technological opportunities regardless of their gender. Well, gender inequality is still very rampant in some parts of the globe but that will have a very small effect to the "business of blockchain and cryptocurrency," which basically belong to the more advanced and civilized world.

Today the gender does not really exist into the world of crypcryptocurrencyause we have diffa erent kind of perspective how can we make a lot of contribution into the world of the market of crypto and into the blockchain and also this statement above on the last part "The gender does not exist into the world of business of blockchain and crypto" because if you have a good contribution that helps other people go for it and we are not stopping other people to show their talent and skills. This guy gives a good topic I hope you make more earn a lot of reputation into your content.

I have always joined campaign on altcoins before but, when I checked their profile most of the majoranagement are composed of women. There should be no discrimination with blockchain industry sincr the task isnt designated only for guys. Coding, smart contract are hard piece of field of blockchain, but it doesnt mean that womens arent gonna do any task at all. Also, Satoshi is just an alias for bitcoin creator, we dont know if the one who created it is a woman, maybe all will be shocked but it could be. We dont know.

In my opinion, this gender discussion is just silly.

Few women are interested in investing. Few woman are interested in technology.

You will find much more women in other areas, such as health for example, where you can find a lot of woman who are nurse, physicians, etc.

maybe next generation we see women invest in crypto and blockchain equal men.

Yes true. More women are into the health sector than other sectors and that is because to have knowledge and more understanding about their health. But that is changing now, more women are into engineering now and they are investing a lot these days, turning into wealthy people and taking care of their families. With time, we are going to also see huge blockchain and cryptocurrency investors as women.

Absolutely. One of them can be seen from the team included in many projects, many of them are women. It's also not only in an easy position. Many of these women hold crucial positions in a project. This proves that anyone who is competent and professional in their field can work and compete in the crypto business world.
See, some of the top females in crypto can be checked in https://beincrypto.com/putting-the-spotlight-on-10-notable-women-in-crypto-womens-day-2020-special/. It is really amazing to see how their involvement in the crypto. And I'm sure, many other women exist in this crypto world, especially those who are still in secret and we don't know about them, especially, the bounty hunters, traders or investors.

Actually, there are some researches that have revealed the involvement of female in crypto.
However, I personally can also see females around me who play in crypto. They are growing every day. Moreover, when a female has earned a lot of money from crypto, the others will be very very enthusiastic to learn about this business and involved in the crypto world, especially for the shake of money. We know that most of them like money so much.

To be exact, most of the women can be found in the areas of services. They are good at communicating, helping, and other kinds of stuff that usually are into servicing other people. One of those are in the profession of teaching, health workers, and nurses as you said. Well, they are good at giving those to the opposite sex too, not just in a sexual way.

I agree, its just that few women are interested in technology. We should be happy that women are now starting to involve in this industry. It is never a talk about gender. We should be more open that it is growing. Cryptography isn't designed just for men.

this discussion is silly because you can't even give statistics on something you can not measure. on blockchain all you see is transactions and they don't even have any link to the identity of the sender/receiver let alone to their gender. so whenever someone releases a stats like x% of bitcoin users are male they are releasing the stats of users of some centralized service like users of coinbase which does not reflect on the entire users of bitcoin. for all you know 90% of bitcoin users are female and from the remaining 10% all of them use centralized services so they show up in stats!

I'm a feminist and I believe that every female have the ability and capability to do what a male can do. A female can play football, she can bet with her money, she can do a brick laying job, she can do anything a male can she (as far as she wants to do it). In this blockchain technology world, a female has the right to anything on here (participating in campaign, supporting projects, building projects, etc). Don't be too surprised when I tell you that some of the people you know/see on this forum are female (who have decided not to disclose their identity).
So, I believe they should have a right equal to that of men.

Not to be gender racist or anything but women have their own stage and men have their own stage. It doesn't necessarily mean that both can't enter the stage of the other, but MOST would opt to enter the stage that is normally for their own gender. You'd see a lot of males entering tech-y side and you'd see females enter the fashion side of things but the vice versa could be perfectly normal. Sides, you wouldn't normally discuss the idea of gender in these kinds of things. Heck, gender doesn't impede one's ability, only stupidity could impede it. Not only on blockchain/crypto/tech stuff, but this also applies to the entirety of the work force. Just that human bias is quite a strong factor in someone's brain that it turns itself into the supposedly "norm", which isn't.

Technology is not gender biased I mean everyone uses mobile phone regardless of their gender and in my opinion this is one of that topic that does not make any sense.

It is known that technology is designed and developed for both the sexes.

Every time I hear that there is talk about the female gender and their support on the blockchain, I remember Taylor Monahan Co-founder of My Ether Wallet. I am very proud of all the work that she has been doing providing solutions to the crypto community. Maybe it's because I created my first wallet with MEW and have since learned about Blockchain and BTCitcoin.
She is now co-founder of MyCrypto.

Just like her, there are many valuable women who are empowering the blockchain industry.

Yeah I was expecting to read a joke in there but a bit disappointing. Gender in blockchain is a byproduct of the gender gap that has already pre-existed in tech. You want to fix blockchain disparity, you fix it in tech. It starts with access and education, so those Girls Can Code projects are doing it the right way.

It actually gets worse when you dig into those 14.5% stats too. Women, when they do get in, tend to be siloed in certain departments only.

While it is true that technology doesn't discriminate against gender unfortunately, job positions outside of the online community do mostly get filled by a man than a woman and that's due to the prejudice that still runs strong within our society. In some ways, women can be more dedicated than a man and they can contribute considerably but given that most chances favour men over women, in crypto even to this day there're few higher-up positions accepting women! I think it is still a work in progress.

Good thing there isn't any gender discrimination and every gender is welcomed here. But what I observed is that some women doesn't have time due to family responsibilities and all of that. Another one is that they always think they are weak to participate in stuffs like this in the tech industry.

But we can still say that the blockchain industry is gender bias if we take a complete look at it. Am not sure we have any token or coin established by a woman. We may have women in the team but it is not the same as having them as founders. These are two different things.

While we don't think it matters much, what you carry around in your undies (or not), one of the founders of our mother entity BitcoinVN (http://www.bitcoinvn.io) (Vietnam's oldest Bitcoin exchange since 2013/2014) is a woman and run's today Vietnam's largest Bitcoin/USDT OTC trade desk (http://www.bitcoinvn.io/en/otc) as part of the group  :):

And while not directly "in Blockchain"; the owner&founder of Italiani's Pizza (http://www.italianis.vn) in HCMC is a young woman as well who became now a Bitcoin Hodler after we signed her up as one of our host locations  :D:

Actually, gender doesn't really matter in the blockchain because male and female are allowed in the blockchain there is no gender biased here as long as you want. Based on the source link male are has the higher number in the blockchain compared to the female, it's just show that male is more interested on the technology that is why if you will look for the richest holder of the bitcoin, you will see that almost of them are male.
Well said women and men, won't be discussed in the blockchain because there is no gender-biased in terms of using it. All people no matter what sex, nation, beliefs, etc are allowed as long as they want.

Dont forget that we are personally anonymous here so the data only represented those names and genders that working in outside but not those inside the market.

So in terms there are no way that we can look literally whos female here or now though you are correct that majority are Males yet the percentage presented seems to be in appropriate.

But no matter whats the ratio?the important thing is the function of woman inside that i think very helpful in many manners.

Agreed, but it's important to realize that not everyone thinks this way (in fact, the majority probably doesn't). As for 'the numbers', it's not a secret that there are fewer women in tech than men. However, while many say 'it's fine, it's not like women are not allowed to join or anything, they're just not interested', I find this view unfair. Gender gap is a real thing, and in many countries it's huge. While there aren't many countries where women are indeed not allowed to join this area, there are quite some countries where they are discouraged to do so. I live in one of these, and when you're expected to focus on family or some female-dominated jobs, no wonder many girls don't see it as a good career choice because they don't want to be considered 'weird'. So while theoretically blockchain is genderless, in practice there are prejudices that can be solid obstacles on the way of more women joining the field.

It is no secret that more male are involved in the field of technology. So according to the survey there are far more men in the cryptocurrency
world. Because basically women are more interested in the fashion, beauty and health industries. But now gender equalized in various ways,
including blockchain technology and cryptocurrency women have begun to be interested. Then as long as it can make money, gender has no effect.

Just like currency fiat, the same way women work for money is the same way its exhibited in crypto, but this difference is that there are actually female developers, engineers and much more that exist this days, but when you compare  it to fiat, there are women working with printing fiat and the decision making too, including cbn governors and IMF, so i think its taking the pattern but in a more better and advanced way. So when it comes to gender and crypto it actually comes down on the individual here, Male of Female.

Although the population of the female in this space isn't as much as that of male but they've been in this space for as long as the market could remeber. They do serve as teams and advisors and i know a lot of them personally who are active traders, bounty hunters as well as just investors. I believe the market isn't having any gender barrier and ladies are always welcome here

I'm following a "girls of blockchain" twitter group, they are mostly from LATAM but are people from different crypto backgrounds, I've learned about many solutions and stuff I had no idea of. Here: https://twitter.com/wiblockchain

In blockchain it is about your intelligence, brilliant ideas and ability to make a difference not about your gender, as much as we have many males in this business so also the females are striving hard to contribute to support the space, am glad to see the number of females in this space are increasing from previous years, it shows more females  are taking interest in blockchain and cryptocurrency, with that, we can expect to see even more bigger numbers in years to come.

Is gender important in the Blockchain?

I mean if we will be relating cryptocurrencies into gender it is useless right since we already have the anonymity, the privacy and that just means that we don't care whether they are a girl or a boy. All we know is their address and we are connected to it, right?

it makes sense.
features of the field of activity, increased desire for confidentiality, etc. do not give the opportunity to calculate this percentage.
Even here on the forum, it is difficult to do, but within the entire blockchain it is impossible.

Is there any value on this information? Why do we need to know this percentage?

Why people are so mad about gender researches? Is this really matters?

If the females have skills in blockchain, I think they can involve in many projects because blockchain is not for just males, but females can also join if they have skills. We don't know how many percentages of females and males in the blockchain. If there is a number that shows about the percentage of females and males, I don't think that is accurate because we don't know who the people who are in the projects are, and if we want to survey all of them, we need to ask all of the projects to know the right number.

Research is a useful tool to find problems and solution as well. Research can be so important in minor aspect of life which be responsible for some major challenges in the community. Women have capacity related to their gender that they can only understand the importance of finding solution to it. However, the low number of women is everywhere in tech. Google is said to have the highest number of women staff (20%) compare to many other tech companies. Cryptocurrency is not only solving financial problems, they are used in animal pet health etc, which indicates unlimited use of blockchain/cryptocurrency. 

There are lots of sectors on which blockchain tech had been applied or used and this doesnt only limit on a particular field and in talks
of gender.Its no surprise that women already involved into these field but actually it isnt really an issue yet no matter what your gender
is, everything can be learnt up even if you are a boy or girl.This doesnt limit out the chances for you to deal into things as long you
do know on what you are doing.We shouldnt really practice that kind of gender inequality because women are capable on what men can do.

Women have been involved into this industry called Blockchain and still others have joined the movement since Blockchain inception. Even on this forum, there are females around the forum doing well in their area of potentials. With the raising of the adoption of Blockchain, many women have been recruited into Binance and other top cryptocurrency exchanges, Blockchain isn't meant for one gender but for all. There are role they can fit into and make their positive impact.

Ability is preferred, right?
No problem, whether male or female, if you have expertise in the field of blockchain, will surely get the same opportunity. It's just that, usually women are tied to household life, for example caring for children. Although modern women also have their own decisions about parenting, it is also considered. That is why males dominate because work matters are their main responsibility.

Thank god there's no SJW type of discussion, and everybody here understands, that we're far beyond the lack of opportunities for both men and women. I'd just like to add that percentage will stay predominately male as it is in other financial industries just cause males are more biologically wired to be interested in things and numbers while females - in people and relationships

The truth is, that inequality has always been there in most sections; there are always more men than women, and I still find it difficult to understand sometimes lol, or maybe it's because women are seen as the weaker vessels?

It's really high time that we do as much as we can to encourage them to do whatever they love to do and not just jobs that are seen as jobs for women. There should be equality when it comes to jobs, and everyone should be allowed to do whatever is their passion and not denied the opportunity just because of their gender. I'm seriously hoping that cryptocurrency and Blockchain brings that equality we are looking forward to.

There is no control in the blockchain world. There is no opportunity to determine gender. Everyone comes here on their own merits and skillfully builds their position. Normally women are more interested in teaching, medicine, business than technology. So the number of women in blockchain and cryptocurrency world is less. Nowadays, the movement of women in the world of blockchain and cryptocurrency has increased a lot. Hopefully in the future they will grow more and they will come with their qualifications.

Hello everybody. Firstly, I believe that in the modern world many women have a more balanced and cool character, as they say, I apologize for the expression, they have “steel eggs”. Therefore, it is not surprising that the number of women is growing in the blockchain and cryptocurrency community. Secondly, there is such a saying - a man’s head, a woman’s neck, wherever she turns, it will be so, that’s why many women make important decisions in the world, not only in the cryptocurrency industry. And thirdly, it’s a very convenient work at home for women who raise children, sat down, traded on the stock exchange while the children are sleeping, sometimes it’s female intuition that can bring profit for more than the earning husband can bring in a month. So, I won’t be surprised if after some time women will prevail in the cryptocurrency community.
