Understanding Trading Demographics
Market analysts for the social investing network and multi-asset brokerage, Etoro, have conducted a research of their vast user base to help the company better understand exactly who are bitcoin and cryptocurrency investors. Looking at data from March 2017 to February 2018, they surveyed the public profiles of those investing in cryptocurrencies using their systems, and extracted demographic insights from age to gender to job sector.

One interesting point emerging from the data is that an absolute majority of traders are new in the business with regards to having any investing experience. A whopping 81.96% are at the Novice level, 10.66% are defined as Intermediate level, and just 7.38% qualify as having an Advanced level of experience in the market.

What is the reason we have very less female on trading?

I think the reason is not in cryptocurrencies but in traditions and stereotypes. Vast majority of stockbrokers are men as well. Just google "stockbroker" and click Images. There's one woman in first 30 photos.

Why you idiots keep linking to bitcoin dot com is beyond me.

Roger "Lyin'" Ver has a stated agenda to replace Bitcoin. Don't support this asshole by linking his site and giving him hits.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you.

I'm pretty sure that it is 10% higher. Most traders in exchanges does not really pass the KYC because they want to stay anonymous so we can't be assume that most of them are men.
