Bitcoin Forum

For a long time, we have only talked about great guys who have made significant contributions to the cryptocurrency industry and those who made history using cryptocurrencies like "BITCOIN."

     But we seldom ever discuss the efforts made by women who helped create the cryptocurrency sector. Is it because we don't care as much about them or because they are less important?

A female acquaintance of mine who has experience in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency markets just introduced herself to me. I was initially astounded by how much more knowledgeable she was than I was on the market cap, Blockchain, and other trading activity. She said that it was a family custom and that she had genuinely learned it from her experienced older sister. This got me to thinking about why there are ladies out there that are so interested in cryptocurrencies yet go unnoticed.
Therefore I made the decision to look into some women who have made significant contributions to the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency sector.

##Lightning Labs, the business that created the software for the Lightning Network, was co-founded and is led by American entrepreneur and computer scientist Elizabeth stark. She serves as a consultant to a number of blockchain and cryptocurrency firms. She has really been involved in the cryptocurrency industry since 2011, when she co-taught a course at Stanford University on bitcoin and decentralized systems, and later served as an advisor to many Blockchain businesses.

##Amber Baldet is a co-founder of Clovyr, a Blockchain-based platform that aids in the creation and administration of decentralized applications for businesses and developers. She is a well-known figure in the Blockchain sector and was in charge of creating the quorum Blockchain platform.

##Laura Shin was the senior editor at Forbes and in charge of the majority of the company's blockchain and cryptocurrency assets. She is currently employed as a crypto journalist and influencer for we'll know Bitcoin.

##The London Bitcoin Women meetup group, which Rhian Lewis co-founded with a friend in 2014, is co-hosted by her. Rhian Lewis is also a co-developer of the altcoin portfolio tracker CountMyCrypto. She is a former digital journalist for the Times of London and holds a BSc in Economics from UCL.

According to my study, all of the women who are currently in charge of cryptocurrency are co-founders of significant crypto companies. They have contributed significantly to the development of the Bitcoin Blockchain and other decentralized systems worldwide.

Actually I'm more interested in the independent minded ones who are staunch supporters of Bitcoin/crypto ideals and know what they are doing.
I think one I currently observe could make it through a coming crisis and will probably be some sort women leader in the cryptocurrency space. She has a heart of man & could be the wisest of them all. I strongly doubt others are independent/smart enough to survive in the end

No one is belittling anyone, and no gender is also considered less important in any society's or any place that we ever find ourselves. We are all good in our respective areas and fields of specialization. 

The statement "less important" sounds really narcissistic. 
Everyone is appreciated and recognized based on their contribution to the world; no one is ever less valued, and no gender credit can be transferred to the other. 
Just change that mindset of female effort not being recognized because of the gender. 

Women usually are less interested in technology discussions than men.
Also, they are usually less interested in investment discussions than men.

This is a characteristic of the culture we live in. This is why we have few woman in bitcoin / cryptocurrencies discussions.

However, there are great examples of amazing womens in computer science, such as Ada Lovelace, which even received a cryptocurrency name in his memory.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace

Or maybe because we are not aware if every single addition to the crypto world or the gender behind it, or maybe it is that such acts are acknowledged but you are not aware of when it was done.

You could recognize the act of anyone without bringing sentiment into it.

It doesn't matter whether you are male or female because of the fact that Bitcoin was created for all people. Let's not separate this kind of thing and there's really no useful context. Anyone can own Bitcoin, women, men, young and old all have the same position in holding Bitcoin. If we classify Bitcoin ownership only from gender then indirectly Bitcoin is won by male groups. But is that the point? But I really admit that the contribution of women in helping to improve blockchain technology is extraordinary. The list above shows us that women have equal rights in participating in a part of crypto adoption.

Op it is from your angle that, I am even seeing and hearing of gender inequality. I have not heard that before. Even the forum activities like voting, women are included. So in what aspect of the cryptocurrency ecosystem that women are not mentioned?
If the thread the user creates concerns women and t has to mention their name, their names must be mentioned has you have done. You mentioned those names because the thread concerned them. If they are not mentioned by another person that does mean that they are not contributing to the development of the system, just that the particular article did not focus bon them but males at the time.
I have seen thread mentioned women at USA that talked about blockchain. Therefore, OP don't think that they are not carried along in the ecosystem.

In reality it may be so, but we as men cannot generalize women regarding their interest in technology discussions and others.
There are several factors that can influence why some women are not so interested in technology discussions. One of them is their educational background, work experience and some because of personal interests.

If we look at the nature of women who are more gentle, not rational and more emotional. Making decisions based on emotions and feelings.
Women actually have a larger Hippocampus than men.

The Hippocampus is part of the brain that is able to store and organize memories well and remember new things as well as connect certain sensations and emotions to these memories.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus

In the culture in which we live or in our environment, there are those who discriminate against women because of gender issues.
In fact, women also have abilities that can exceed men.

There are many great women who are an inspiration, as the OP said.

No matter who you are, no matter what gender you are, if you do the right thing and even have an important role,
then you deserve to be recognized.

---

My question here is?
who are the women in this forum who are active and have a lot to contribute?
She is being a smart and capable woman on this forum with extensive cryptocurrency knowledge.

One thing certain is that everybody must not be popularly known in a particular sector just like in the case of crypto, because by virtue that these women were listed on the "top 50 most influential people in crypto" on the article link you just shared, it is a great sign they are indeed truly recognized in the crypto sector. But moreover, you don't expect these women to be as popular as "Satoshi" the creator of Bitcoin or "Changpeng Zhao" the owner of Binance (the world's largest exchange), or even "Laszlo Hanyecz" the guy who sold his 10,000 BTC for mere 2 pizzas, which had turn out to be a day to always remember in the history of Bitcoin.

So in conclusion, I don't believe women are neglected in the world of crypto, but only just that they haven't done thing enough to make them globally known/go viral in history.

Actually the OP's post is good in my opinion, because he tries to raise a discussion that is rarely found in this forum, which is to remind us all that the development and progress of crypto cannot be separated from the contribution, encouragement and efforts of some great women like what the OP said.
But in my opinion, the OP's question does not seem appropriate to convey or ask, because in my opinion it has the meaning of heralding opinions that here or in this forum we don't care about and look down on women.
But in reality no one here in this forum thinks or acts like that. In this forum, we respect each other and respect anyone, whether it's men, women, young people or even old people who are involved in the world of cryptocurrencies.
Apart from that the OP's post is good and maybe it can be an inspiration in itself for all of us, especially the women who join this forum so that they are not insecure and can be confident to do activities and be actively involved in the crypto world.

We still don't know who Satoshi is. Maybe Satoshi is a female. Or they are a group of people in which females are involved as well. Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency. It helps us to protect our privacy. So maybe there's a chance that many females are already involved, but we don't know yet. And that's the beauty of bitcoin. You can be anyone from any place and still own Bitcoin.
We are we to judge! Let's just enjoy what we have today rather than thinking who are involved or what they are doing.

I don't know how you managed to come up with that conclusion that women in blockchain are not being noticed..
As far as I know, whatever treatment given to a man in a certain position in a blockchain firm, will also be given to a woman who is in the same position and does well like the man, or even more, one thing I am very sure of is that bitcoin does no decriminalize any gender, bitcoin and blockchain is for all, whether male or female..

The only thing that made things look like women in crypto are not being noticed is simply because, there are very few of them doing really well, unlike men that are scattered all over the sector.

I still think that in this case it is not important whether it is a woman or a man because as long as they contribute well it will be considered very good too.
The issue of gender differences like this doesn't exist for cryptocurrencies, I think because indeed in this case, as long as they are able to be in cryptocurrencies and as long as they contribute, they will receive praise according to the portion of what they do.
There are some women that I know from the steps they always take like Ria Bhutoria who is currently the research director of Fidelity Digital Assets or maybe Kristin Smith who runs the Blockchain Association.

OP Surely the percentage of women who enter the world of Bitcoin is very low compared to the male one but in recent years it seems to me to be growing, for example in the Italian community there are several prominent women.  In my opinion it's only a matter of time and many will come.

It's a known fact that women are more risk-averse, so when crypto had bad press and was considered shady and scammy, they would stay away from it. But, as the awareness grows and it's becoming obvious that crypto is here to stay, then we'll see more women joining in.

There was actually a recent study in Singapore claiming that women actually (slightly) outperformed men in profitability in crypto trading. More details here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5446833.0).

unfortunately the women's share is in the minority in the crypto world, and it can also be seen in this forum, however in other social networks or messaging platforms such as telegram I can assure you that there are many more, especially on twitter I had the pleasure and pleasure of following women well educated in crypto and trading, it's a matter of time that women will outnumber men in crypto

From my perspective this is an amazingly ironic, and hilarious post. Meeeeeeooooowwww.
 
Fairly certain “Female Dominance” in the “cryptocurrency”  market was assured long ago.

There may be more women joining and working on bitcoin or other crypto projects we don't know who they are. The spread and adoption of bitcoin today are not only about gender but about people who want to contribute to the development of bitcoin and other decentralized systems. But it's true that the women behind this project don't reveal much about who they are and we see more men than women so we might think that more men are contributing to crypto projects than women.

women, if invited to discuss bitcoin, don't like it. They prefer to play behind the scenes rather than in public, except for their work which requires the public to discuss crypto.
women are more comfortable hiding under fake identities to avoid unwanted things from men actually not because they don't care

Even though there are equal opportunities in the crypto space for both genders, there still is a disparity in the percentage of men and women in this space. I believe there are a good percentage women are in fashion, medicine, but I think there are less women in engineering, tech, and executive roles in business. For me I believe it’s a matter of interest, there are no gatekeepers in bitcoin, the knowledge is free and anyone can take advantage of the opportunities in the industry.

there are many women in this forum but they are more introverted,
surely they get knowledge about crypto from this forum
women actually join crypto because the way to get free crypto is very easy and they don't have to leave their children and families. money can be safely controlled family

It's true, we should treat people equally. It's common among people that if you're a woman you can't do Bitcoin, although I've seen many women trading Bitcoin and they're good. But in terms of leadership, what we are used to seeing are men. Even though they are braver compared to women, they won't surrender right away. And they are also more technical than women. So as long as a woman becomes the CEO of the project especially in crypto, her charisma will not be noticed much. Others will say that the project will not last long.
Some women are not confident to become founders because of the way others think even though they deserve it. However, there are others who are very good at it, and it has been proven that women can do it too and became successful.

Here are some lists of female CEO's in crypto (https://coingape.com/blog/top-7-crypto-female-ceos-in-the-world-2022-rising-women-in-crypto/#:~:text=Elizabeth%20Stark%2C%20CEO%2C%20Lightning%20Labs&text=Elizabeth%20is%20the%20co%2Dfounder,supporter%20of%20the%20open%20internet.):

This single line from your post made me ignore the whole content. I don't see anything like this in this forum so far, where you find that fact that people here don't care about women. OP you want some attention from ladies from this forum, I hope you get some.

Best of luck.

I believe it’s a consequence of culture and not nature. Girls are not encouraged to be interested in technical and  confrontational roles because society doesn’t deem it feminine. In my country, parents already have a profession in mind for their children before they are born, boys are usually pushed to study medicine, engineering, computer science and the girls are encouraged to focus on art courses because society sees it as more “feminine”.

Women are more sensitive when talking about money, so they don't really care about new product investments such as Bitcoin. When we look at the stock market, not many women invest or talk about stock prices, foreign currency, or something of the kind. Because of that, we can't see women being one of top the richest person in the world. and, I think Women are better suited to manage family finances than the world.

Not talking about women as much as men does not make us sexist, it simply implies that there are less women in the crypto industry than we'd like there to be.

I mean, take the Bitcoin Core leadership for example. I think there's only one female Core developer out of 20.

Bitcointalk's staff, AFAIK, also doesn't have any women (though if you can prove me wrong, please do so!).

Bitcoin is a digital currency, and since most women don't like taking chances that could result in financial loss, we don't expect them to trade the project. Based on the most recent facts, women believe that running the household, caring for the children, and helping the men are their top priorities. I've seen women take care of their homes and provide for their families as the breadwinners, but I've also seen most examples when women stay at home and take care of all the household duties without caring if they look for work or not, which is nonsensical.

BTC doesn't care about gender.


This post isn't about gender.   This post is about you.

I believe women's efforts are discussed less often because we still live in a world with a significant gender gap, which means fewer women are in the tech industry, fewer people believe that women can achieve something great or par with men, and women often play less prominent and more quiet (even if important) roles in various industries, including the crypto industry. That being said, of course there are women who are into cryptos and are knowledgeable about cryptos, and the matter of inclusion and highlighting of women isn't new to this industry either.
Aside from who women related to Binance mentioned in the link by the op, there's also He Yi, co-founder of Binance. Binance wrote an article  (https://www.binance.com/en/blog/all/satoshi-is-female-dispelling-5-common-myths-in-crypto-310326400223113216)about women's engagement in the crypto industry and mentioned He Yi there.

Why "unfortunately"? I can't understand why some of you seem to be bothered by men and women making different choices.
You don't need anyone's permission to be part of the Bitcoin community or to participate in this forum. In fact, no one really knows (or cares) if you're a man or a woman. These options are equally open to both genders.
If women, in general, decide that's not really something they'd be interested in and they prefer to focus on other things instead - that's perfectly fine by me. I don't have a problem with it.

I personally don't think there's any kind of filtering based on the gender of a person that made something interesting.

If something great is made, it will be talked about. It doesn't matter what gender the person who did it happens to be. That's quite irrelevant.

This applies to any "label" you want to attach to a person. What really matters is what they do, not what they are.

I think this is some kind of bike-shedding in the sense that people talk about the properties of the human (race, gender, etc) which are easy to point out, instead of the actual topic which the commenter might know nothing about, therefore commenting about it might be an impossibility.

I only know a few of them, those who are closed may have some reasons.
But the forum does not differentiate between genders, everyone is the same. Those who contribute will be rewarded.

Some of my female friends also work in crypto and even become social managers in some crypto projects.
The forum provides a lot of knowledge for everyone, and some women utilize it to learn it quite well.

It doesn't matter female or male in this forum. Even during registration for new members, there is no choice of the male or female gender.
This can be private and should not be known by others.

And when we assume someone on this forum is a man, but in fact, he is a woman, who knows?
Or Theymos might be a woman LOL.

Bitcoin Talk is a forum for everyone, everywhere, freedom of speech and discussion about Bitcoin. Bitcoin itself was created by Satoshi Nakamoto for everyone who want to have their own banks and privacy, anonymity priorities.

Male or female are all welcome to Bitcoin communities including Bitcoin Talk.

Registration information like genders can not be verified on a non-KYC forum like Bitcointalk.

This information is not required for registration and it is in customized options in user profile page only.

Will KYC now required (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124947.0) be re-enforced in future?

OP is bringing up an issue that he/she is probably stuck with, let's rephrase the question as to whether gender affects this market?
I'm not sure but what you're concerned about is really a matter of concern, an equal environment that I don't see as the OP is talking about, or maybe it's so normal that it doesn't matter who thinks that's a problem.
I have also heard about some sex education information in this market, but it is true that later on for me and many other programs that attract users with unclear information.

You're right man, I think it's not really good to make a fuss about women owning bitcoins and make it a big deal because after all what's important at this moment is we are supporting bitcoins and fighting against corrupted banks that have been bullying us from the past. No one should make separate praise regarding males and females because it will only create confusion and will make the other party discourage. The problem with this is the feminist movement will take this kind of post seriously, not only here but on other social media as well.

Adoption of Bitcoin is open to both sexes; Satoshi Nakamoto did not specifically mention using Bitcoin only by men in any of his writings. My neighbors participated in the market's crypto activities, and there was a chance to win bits of bitcoin. In the present period, it is extremely uncommon to see someone not interested in bitcoin. Regardless of a person's gender, owning Bitcoin is definitely a common occurrence in the market. I've observed ladies buying bitcoin and waiting in open trades. Given that we have access to the market, it is crucial that we manage our money and make wise investments.

True. Bitcoin is is equally made for everyone, so there is no male or female domination. As long as he/she is capable enough to invest and hold or trade bitcoin without immature decision, he/she will surely succeed in his/her bitcoin endeavor. However, it’s not bad at all if we also recognize the efforts made by women in the crypto industry, as they can also be like men that are risk takers and love to engage in technology and innovations.

I wouldn't worry about that. If mass adoption happens, then women will certainly be on board. Women are a bit more cautious by nature and less trusting of new things, but once something gets popular and gains the approval of the mass population, they would become way less skeptical. We have already seen a massive influx of women into crypto when crypto broke into mainstream i.e. during the last bull-run.
Plus, at a level of mass adoption, we would likely have much more user-friendly bitcoin wallets, which would also help.


Are you sure about that?

Decentralized Bitcoin that anyone can own from anywhere. Due to its decentralized nature, there is no central institution or authority that controls it. then everyone, including women, has the same opportunity to get involved in the Bitcoin network and benefit from their bitcoin investment.

Even though statistics show that the majority of Bitcoin holders are men, that doesn't mean that women aren't heavily involved. There are many women who use Bitcoin in the same way as men, but do not publish their activities publicly. This may be for reasons of their privacy or safety or out of fear.

I think with this technology it continues to evolve and more and more people, including women, are starting to get involved in cryptocurrencies. More and more opportunities are available for women to take advantage of this technology and become part of the Bitcoin community. although currently the percentage of women involved in Bitcoin is still relatively low compared to men, the trend is showing an increase. This is because more and more women are interested in learning about cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology that is the foundation of Bitcoin.

that's the advantage of this currency, you can always prefer to be discreet with your activities. and most women prefer to be quiet with their crypto involvement. we may see that men are heavily involved but we have no idea to what extent women are involved in this. but definitely, they are growing in numbers.
in this market, gender is not an issue as you can be in this market without any discrimination whatsoever. you can always prefer not to disclose your crypto activities so you can maintain your privacy. this is why, we can never get the stats who are involve in this market.

I very much hope that it will be like this in the near future, but at the present date it is still a pity that women snub crypto, my thought which may or may not be shared.

PS the photo you posted is fake and edited

If you really claim women who make efforts to improve the crypto and blockchain space are seldomly talked about how come their names and contributions are made available online and how come you have access to them.

There is no how a specific contribution made by any gender will not be discussed, the reason why you assume females are less celebrated in the blockchain space is because females in the space are few so no matter how the male echo their contribution it will not have much significance compared to when the have a massive number in the block.

I don’t think bringing up gender inequality in the crypto space helps bitcoin or the cause, it’s an unproductive political argument imo. There are no stats to back anything you’re saying so it’s all based on assumptions right now. I think if you truly want to make a difference, you can start teaching young women in your area about bitcoin and how to utilize the opportunities in the crypto industry.

Agreed, the gender is not gonna make anything in the market. But Women into cryptocurrency makes it a better place, because women won't easily get into technology based industry. Things have changed compared to the past and women's participation makes the market more trusted. This is nothing offensive, I personally believe that women research much before getting into something. So, women finding bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to be good is real growth.

As suggested it is good to educate women in our locality to make the real difference. It used to be little difficult, but once they get interested they explore more and make themselves highly knowledgeable in that sector.

Also people can have multiple accounts, so it's hard to make assumptions on the amount of men/women in the forum.

In any case, it's irrelevant, all that matters is the content being written really.

I don't see any discrimination here because we all know that bitcoin doesn't choose who should be here or who should hold bitcoin.

Also, if there is an increase in the dominance of women in the crypto space, I don't see any problem, it's even good. Maybe it's just that there are more communities here in the bitcoin industry with men compared to women.

You don't say!


As Bitcoin is open source and anyone is free to join (and no one really asks you for your gender), talking about unequal participation by gender is pretty pointless, as there's no central entity that could do anything about that (if we recognised that as a problem, which is not).

The problem could start when bitcoin-related companies/projects could be pressured by their local regulators to implement some idiotic gender/race quotas, which could result in a drop in the quality of the services they provide, potentially reducing security etc.

Other than that, measuring participation by gender could provide valuable information and be a decent indicator of Bitcoin (or crypto as a whole) achieving mainstream adoption. I'd say if roughly 50% of crypto holders/traders are women, we're likely already there.

Yeah, women may be slightly sensitive talking about money matters but I also believe they can be more resourceful on where and what to invest so that they can generate some money. But it’s mostly men who initiate first in risk taking investments like bitcoin, women may only follow after men. But it doesn’t mean that women do not succeed in bitcoin, they also made significant earnings in bitcoin. It’s just that men still excel when it comes to new innovations, and bitcoin is one of it.

Male or female can be a part of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, any gender can learn Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies because there's no limitation, it's just a matter of their seriousness. Not all men are interested with Bitcoin, similar like not all female will not interested with Bitcoin.

I don't think female need to dominate Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and at the same time there's no need male to dominate Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, it's pointless.

I don't think there's a need to separate groups of humans, Bitcoin is for everyone. Doesn't matter what group or groups represent you, because all that matters is that you as an individual want to use Bitcoin. That's it.

At the end of the day Bitcoin is money, and every person on earth can use money.

How do you know that they are introverts? Have you talked with them personally? But maybe you can only say that because women are known to be feminine but I have observed that some women are too talkative on or off cam. There are also guys who are introverts but I think most of their numbers are extroverts as men are known to be masculine. The easiest way to get a crypto must be from the faucets but they are almost worthless.

You will need to hold a decade or two to be able for them to have a decent value. There are still better ways to earn a crypto which can be done by the women. Indeed this was better than working outside or on overseas because they can still bond with their families this way.

Well, I also believe all of these are just assumptions since a lot would chose to be anonymous in crypto rather than to expose their real names and genders being involved in crypto. But what’s more important is we already know that crypto offers equal opportunities to all genders, regardless of one’s  age. So if women want to create domination in the future, I guess the crypto community should start reaching them at their early age.

More number of women into bitcoin usage or more number of men into bitcoin usage doesn't gonna make any changes in the market. It all shows how aware is women and men in cryptocurrency. Just out of the women/men dominance none were able to have control over the market. It is more welcoming thing that more women are getting into cryptocurrency usage, because Women are much obsessed with fashion and beauty than technology. Here it shows the involvement of women in technology based advancement.

There's no restriction, limitation, border line, requirements,criteria for those people who do really like to get involved with crypto.Doesnt matter if you are a girl or boy, what matter most here is that you do know on what you are doing and you do know on what you are dealing with. As long you do able to make yourself that sustain then this is what counts.Domination is something that irrelevant.
Its true that there's no way that we could be able to determine which numbers is much more because everything and everyone on this online space could hide out their real gender and
names and there's no way on knowing that.

In any case you guys might be wondering why there are only few female in this industry is because, mostly women are unlikely to gamble. In their nature they aren't risk takers or gamblers. We are even worried that due to volatility, anything can happen within a blink of an eye. So how much more in the minds of women? They'll most likely choose a safer path to success, and it takes someone not ordinary to compete in this industry. We have to admit that in terms of multitasking skills, women are number one on that industry, but in terms of finance, Women cannot exert their dominance on that area, they are good companion to have, but in decision making, it is us guys task to handle the matters.

Nowadays more females now are involve in the circulation of Bitcoin and other crypto currencies. The income they could generate in investing in crypto currencies is high but also the risk is too high as well. We have a free world anyone can adopt the crypto currencies whatever your gender is. As time goes by our technology continues to develop even the younger ones could also be interested in the crypto world. With so much awareness majority could adopt on the latest technology.

I think that many women understand crypto even more than some men, it's just that society, unfortunately, does not take them seriously.
In any case, I hope that more and more women will appear in the crypto industry in the future. We should all work together to ensure our bright future!

Oh, boy, we've entered the gender debate arena. Look, I get where you're coming from, but broad-brushing an entire gender isn't fair, right? Just because women might lean towards risk-aversion doesn't mean they can't rock the blockchain world. Trust me, navigating the turbulent seas of volatility requires a unique individual, and I know tons of ladies up to the task.

But hey, since we're on the topic of gender clichés, let's discuss multitasking chops. Women are wizards at balancing numerous tasks simultaneously. Isn't that an essential skill in the blockchain biz? With constant action, effective multitasking is vital. So, perhaps women should take the reins in this department.

And about finance? Never underestimate a woman's financial intuition. They say women have a sixth sense in money matters, and who am I to dispute that? So, let's not write off the ladies too fast. They just might leave us all in awe!

I see that it's unfair but I think it's not the problem of the masses because not many does an extensive research and it's not like they want to, they just want the benefits most of the time, they don't care about the specifics. I think that this issue should be resolved by those in the team, on how they handle representation in the workplace.

Women are more than 50% of the population, so to say that "society" doesn't take them seriously sounds a bit odd. And why does it matter anyway? Crypto development is almost entirely done online and no one asks for your gender. You could stay anonymous if you choose to. If you have good ideas and are able to provide good solutions, they would defend themselves. You don't need social encouragement or anyone's approval.


OK, how do you reconcile the fact that blockchain development (when everyone is free to join without anyone's approval) is dominated by men, or that almost all high-profile investors are men.
I don't think I've ever heard about "women's financial intuition". Where did you get that from? Can you name some examples?

Is there valid research about this?
In this modern era, I assume both men and women have the same interest in technology or investment.
There is no limitation for genders in any field, both men and women are educated enough. So, both men and women may have the same chance to engage in the discussion about technology and investment because all have the same capability and the same level of knowledge. IMO, how big the interest should depend on an individual's knowledge, Not gender!

Agree. What OP stated above is only a few examples. There should be many other great women that we never know.

I agree that a part of the world's female population already dominates men in some types of work, even in the crypto space.
Gender should not be a debate in this space because this industry is not only created for one gender, but anyone can take advantage of it. Men and women have almost the same abilities in this industry, but because of their nature, men are definitely the most dominant.

So in conclusion, I don't care about gender. Men and women must equally support this industry to achieve its goals.

As much as men can do great and excel in bitcoin and in cryptocurrencies, i believe women too can do that. In this modern world, what men can do, women are capable of doing too. So I don’t think there is domination of gender in crypto investments and technology. Everyone is given equal opportunities, it’s up to the user on how he/she will take advantage of the opportunity and how he/she will make most of it.

It is important to encourage diversity and inclusivity in the cryptocurrency industry, as it will only lead to a more robust and innovative sector.

By recognizing the contributions of women and other underrepresented groups, we can work towards creating a more equitable and inclusive industry.

I don’t divide into women or men and don’t share their merits. If, for example, I’m interested in a new project, I always look at who is in the team and most often there are men, according to my observations, but if there are women there, it’s cool for me, this is not some kind of indicator or an event, it doesn’t matter at all. The most important aspect is that a person be a professional in his field and have experience in the area in which he works and that’s it.

but I know! just go to see satoshi's thread to see that it's not the same as what you posted

as you can see it's different! :P

The topic is a good example of affirmative action or reminds us to focus on what we missed, but I think discriminations such as religion, language, race and or gender in cryptocurrencies are a bit unnecessary issues. Also, I remember reading a news earlier that women are not prone to abstract thinking. Therefore, they may stay away from cryptocurrencies or they may not want to deal with cryptocurrencies as much as men. So, if there isn't a statistical equilibrium, there's an evolutionary explanation for it, and I don't think either way can be categorized as good or bad.

I agree.

I'm not sure why people want to have everything in life being represented as exactly the same percentage of the population.

We have older people, and kids for example. Do we need to add Bitcoin news about what older people and kids do regarding Bitcoin?, of course not.

It shouldn't matter what "class" you belong to, just what you do as a person. These people accusing others of being sexist are actually the sexist themselves by focusing on the gender of people instead of what they do.

Yes, our world is equal, and there is no limit to this, but the reality is clear that the percentage of women involved in cryptocurrency or other forms of investment is lower than men. Check your friends list, how many women are investing, and how many men are investing. That is the most factual proof.

There are many ways to divide humanity. One is gender.

If you look at how many people in each country uses Bitcoin you will also find differences. Shall we push to have every country represented proportional to their population in Bitcoin?

If you look at ages of people you'll see that there's also a difference between age groups. Shall we push to have every age group represented equal?

What about height?, sexual preference?, color of skin?, or any other group that you can possibly imagine. Shall we try to keep everything represented equally in Bitcoin?

You will quickly realize that this is an impossible task.

Bitcoin is open to anyone, there is no ban or restriction to a specific group. Whoever is interested can be a part of it.

Who said that in cryptos, female cannot invest. It doesn’t matter whether they dominate or not, but I believe we shouldn’t discriminate between the genders. Why does a person invest in cryptos or specifically Bitcoins? The reason is very simple, its because they want to earn extra income or extra money. But if we become gender biased and start complaining, then how they gonna survive. Now I know many people will feel offended seeing this statement that women are dominating, but I would say we need to accept the truth and fact and should live with it only.

OP, It's  a nice thread you have raised, one which is seldom seen in the forum and I appreciate your attention to such recognition. But it should be noted that there are a numerous number of persons that have made great contributions in one way or the other to the development and spread of bitcoin and if we're to make mention of them all the list will be endless.

In other words, if we ain't hearing much about these women you OP mentioned and others like them then that doesn't mean they ain't celebrated and recognized in their own little space where they function. And no one can boldly say women are not part of the development and spread of bitcoin just because their names ain't among the notable few that are usually mentioned when talking about bitcoin.

Good point.

Also worth noting that in many cases we only know a username, so it's hard to know that we're talking about a woman or a man.

In any case, it doesn't really matter, all that matters is the content they share.

The beauty of Bitcoin and other open source projects is that you can't really discriminate anyone even if you wanted to. Anyone is free to get onboard without anyone's permission.


You must have very low opinion of women's performance in the crypto space if you think their "survival" is dependent on what others think of them.

With bitcoin, there’s no domination, every individual is given equal rights and opportunity. But we can’t deny that majority that are involved in this volatile investment are men, since men are more interested in new innovations and are more risk taker than women. However, in reality, with bitcoin all are fair. And if men can contribute significant improvements for blockchain technology, I guess women too can do that once they will develop high determination for crypto.

If a woman, or any human for that matter, makes a valuable or interesting contribution to Bitcoin it will most definitely not be ignored.

I wonder if there's any kind of backing to those statements made, i.e. a woman making contributions to Bitcoin that is being actively ignored. I do not believe such thing exists.

Men, in general, are more interested in things (so, by an extent, in technology) and women are more interested in people. That's why we've seen tech degrees dominated by men and psychological degrees by women. At least that was the case before forced gender parities.

That means that even know there are some women genuinely interested in tech and good at what they do, the very top of the field would consist of men in the vast majority. This means that if we ever live to a time when most Bitcoin developers are female, we should be at least a little bit concerned.
