Title: Why are there fewer women Than men involved in Bitcoin?
Post by: Hewlet on November 17, 2023, 06:34:23 PM
When I checked the statistics of women who are into Bitcoin and found out that they are less than 10%, it surprised me seriously. It is understandable when we see fewer women than men in sectors that require physical energy to carry out work activity like the military or in the engineering sector but when you still see this same work force difference in the tech and Bitcoin space that they can comfortably do at the comfort of there home, it gets me curious to know the reason that might have been responsible for this huge gap.

I would appreciate if we can talk about this here. What could be responsible for this?

Not only in Bitcoin I have seen women but in many other fields I have seen women as less as we think. I have noticed them in the business side even they are a little behind from the men and thus they didn't have business ideas and are very less involved in the business.

Bitcoin has a better value through which men had already earned many. The women will make themselves better if they work on the business side and if they achieved their success regarding the bitcoin matter.

OP, if you mane further research there are lots of women in tech and in cryptocurrency in general. Most of them are product designers, community managers, advisors, ambassordors and Blockchain developers. If you go through most cryptocurrency white papers you will see what am talking about.

When it comes to investment in Bitcoin I could attest to the fact that there are fewer women than men. I see women as receivers and not givers. This is why most women do not see any need to invest in Bitcoin, because they don't have any future ambition or are not investment wise. Most persons use Bitcoin as a store of value to pass down to heirs and their generations. And this is done mostly by men, not women. We have only few women who see the need to keep generational wealth.

In as much as it seems like there are few women in Science, Tech, Engineering and Mathematics, the women in this field who has higher impact to the world than men, before computers was created, women were being called computers because at that time it was seen as a woman job to be doing calculations including complex calculations, generating mathematical models and others. It was the based on the fact that at that time women hardly get promotion they deserve or sometimes its more like they put in the effort while the male get the reward and acknowledgments.
Women has been helpful in the development of computer, the programming language use to instruct or interact with computers and even cryptography which is use in Blockchain.
Coming to bitcoin, there's no gender discrimination, adopting bitcoin is individual preference, one of the oldest members of this forum is Foxpup and she is definitely among the bitcoin earliest adopters.
Now I'm curious to know why she adopted bitcoin thinking it now.

The truth about this is that most women do not  have the strength to withstand the pressure of Bitcoin volatility. A woman is not as strong as a man when it comes to handling some issues. Women that are into Crypto today paid the price. Not all women like to go to that length to subject themselves to stress and things that can make them develop High blood pressure.
Another thing is that women are busy with keeping the house and other easy business. But with the way the world is going and the level of education in the world, there will be more and more ladies in the crypto space.

What could be responsible for this?

There is probably a bunch of reasons that more men end up in finance and tech compared to women.  Part of it is probably just because those areas have traditionally been more male-dominated, so it is kind of a cycle that is hard to break out of and  theres also definitely some social and cultural norms going on that kinda pushes ladies away from those kinds of jobs.  For example, in many cultures or families, there is this traditional expectation that the man is supposed to be in charge of the big money decisions.  And that can go beyond just the family and make women feel like maybe finance isnt for them.  Plus women not seeing a lot of other women in those fields or having the same opportunities probably has something to do with it too.  A lot of it is probably just perceptions and stereotypes about what kinds of careers are appropriate for women versus men.  So yeah, no single reason, but its an interesting thing to think about why we dont see more gender balance in certain industries.

Definitely room for improvement there!

The post I quoted would, honestly, be offensive to some women. I will agree (re: "keeping the house") women are often more "financially protective" and less likely to take risks than men. Sometimes, keeping the house doesn't mean cleaning and Women's work, it literally means do not lose the house by messing up financially. From the start the Bitcoin Community has seen many more men present than women, it has improved in recent years.

Yes, there are more men than women in science industries and we see less men and more women in the art world. Part of the problem for this is caused by societal values and expectations, society determines the roles both genders play in the world. Women are naturally empathic, expressive and caring, this makes society place certain roles on them like nursing, teaching, interior design e.t.c

It will be helpful if you added the source where you got the statistics. I would like to think there is a balance of male-female ratio in the tech industry.

I think that you already partially answered yourself when you manetioned that there are more men in the engineering sector as it is connected to technology, thereore with Bitcoin as well. Man are simply more inteersting in things, while women are more interested in people so that's why even in countries that really tried to even that out (Scandinavian countries) women still rather prefer to be doctors and nurses than enginners.

Another important factor is that women are generally less willing to take a risk than men, and since Bitcoin is pretty new and very risky, no wonder that fewer women are interested in it.


this makes society place certain roles on them like nursing, teaching, interior design e.t.c
Even in societies that don't enforce those roles on women, they still rather chose them over more traditional male jobs. Man and women are simply different.

 This thread has been discussed already numerous times but I will still give my own points of view about this.

First, bitcoin requires higher risk than other type of investments. And men are highly risk takers in all life's aspects most especially when it comes to money and newest innovation that will certainly create positive changes in their lives. They want to explore everything that seems new to them. Second, men do not fear from losing and they want to risk even their hard-earned money just to be satisfied with the outcome. As many people say, no risk, no gain. The reason why men are more assertive in all they do and just love to be more independent more than women.

Bitcoin is broad, it’s not only about technical aspects but also the non technical aspects of bitcoin. It’s true women may not be interested in mining, nodes, pow or pos,

 

Another important factor is that women are generally less willing to take a risk than men, and since Bitcoin is pretty new and very risky, no wonder that fewer women are interested in it.
Some would argue that women are more easy to convince than men therefore they can be easily convinced to invest in bitcoin than men. You’re a famous scambuster in the forum, who do scammers target more…men or women? I would argue that romantic scams, investment scams e.t.c victimize the women folk more than the men.

 
this makes society place certain roles on them like nursing, teaching, interior design e.t.c
Even in societies that don't enforce those roles on women, they still rather chose them over more traditional male jobs. Man and women are simply different.
I agree, men and women are different. But we can’t take away the fact that social conditioning has a major role to play in determining what a person “thinks” is interesting to them.

It's because women are risk averse, which means that they decline to take risk unlike men. Maybe because they just wanted their men to do everything for them just like what you said, stay at home moms. Or it could be how they are build as compare to men, with all of our testosterone in our body, we think that we can go and take that huge risk and win the end, just like in gambling.

And if you say 10% or at least that numbers, it huge already and who knows, as the world is changing an going into a lot of phase about gender and everything what's inside of it, maybe we can see more women trying to removed that stigma, join bitcoin or at least involved themselves in crypto market and they might find enjoyment here. I think though there are women already like a CEO of companies related to crypto if I'm not mistaken.

I know a couple of women who are involved with Bitcoin. I am really not surprised, actually, that 10% of the total Bitcoin ecosystem is made up of women. Because women's have some limitations. They aren't like us; they could not take decisions on anything. Women usually don't want to take risks and don't want to lose something. They like to live in a comfort zone. As we know, to become Bitcoin investors, we need enough patience since there is a lot of risk involved. So they don't want to come out of their comfort zones, and they don't have enough time to research like us. They have to maintain families as well. I am not sure if others agree with me, but these are my thoughts.

I think we have to go back in time and follow a historical approach to it. When were women allowed to go to school, participate in elections, work and earn money? Women started participating in most crucial aspect of life few hundred years after civilization. Technically, their brain isn't expected to think like men do in these part of life. Women were told to focus more on house keeping and training children. Hence, in the growth of their brain, it'll take longer until women begin to take monetary risk like men. Same can be applicable to bitcoin, it's a new idea and before women begin to venture into it, more decades would pass. Although, I see women heading most crypto projects and organizing cryptocurrency conferences for women. And these women are mostly the few women we can see in the computer science department. For instance, in the university, the computer science department can have about 10 women and 200 men. And it remains like that across many other universities. Not all of them can understand software development, how would they involve in something they don't know about. Added with the fact that in the society women spend time with fellow women than men. Who would influence them to do what they're into today. A lot of female programmers, I've met, were influenced by their male friends or brothers. While the whooping number of female nurses were influenced by their mothers to study nursing. Hence, the point remains that you can't give what you don't have. Because their mothers whom they listen to and spend time with advice them on the career to follow, they'll definitely follow that route. Generations to generations it'll keep repeating itself, because of the long time denial women faced in the society.

Women are said to be weak where men are more powerful and unbreakable. And with the nature of bitcoin that involves higher risk, men mostly want to engage in it because it creates a challenge for them not just to overcome the risks but to gain a lot after. They want to take advantage where there are opportunities, which I think women are quite slow when it comes to that because of their feminine characteristics that push them to act ladily compared to the very strong and aggressive men.

But it does not mean that women are left behind when it comes to the success on bitcoin. As much as men have become more intense in achieving bitcoin sucess, women as well have become highly competitive as men.

Technology industries are dominated by men due to the fact that men are introduced to small technological gadgets at an earlier age. For example, only 16 percent of women enter undergraduate education in computer science.

Despite attempts to encourage women (https://parofix.com/threads/can-you-legally-use-cryptocurrencies-for-supporting-women-empowerment-and-gender-equality.11914/#post-32042) to code, the number of female computer science undergraduates in the UK has fallen over the past 10 years.

In parallel with the interest of men in technology, in the early days of Bitcoin, the innovators interested in this digital currency were predominantly men. It took some technical knowledge to use the Web back in the day, and the same is true for Bitcoin (https://parofix.com/) today.

Finally, if Bitcoin is wanted to make progress and complete its revolution, this cannot happen by ignoring one half of the population. The more women are included in this community, the more positive reflections they will have.

bitcoin does not have a brain, does not have a soul, does not have arms, does not have legs, does not have a mouth, does not have eyes, does not have genitals

bitcoin does not care about gender. bitcoin does not look for particular gender, bitcoin does not priorities gender

however in any society. you have to look at real things
peoples own preferences for their own career, work, hobbies and preferences.. and yes women and men do have their own preferences

10% The women you are talking about may be almost more because the female population is 3X that of men, men are quicker to recognize bitcoin from the algorithm of an interest generated on social media, after looking for games, money, bounty hunting or gambling. among those that men have he tries his luck and for fun, starting from getting to know the payment method until the longer it gets used to using bitcoin and can even dive into trading. women tend to be interested if someone invites them directly. the opportunity to work in the crypto space for both men and women is so dominating and I think it is quite high women's interest in crypto and increasing every year, if women's interest in crypto continues to grow I think bitcoin will be easier to recognize with the easiest method, towards the future.

One of the reasons which I can recognized or remember is that women are not taking risk like men. They have soft heart and at the early age of bitcoin and everyone was afraid to use it women were like children that scared to involved themselves in the bitcoin investment. And men who are facing all the challenges to feed their families daily bases were not afraid to invest and see the outcome of it and outcome is a successful one.

But in the contrary, there are many women who are involved in bitcoin. When I came to the city, I saw women investing and trading with bitcoin. Women are there but the different is the thinkings.

I'm not sure what statistic you're referring to, but I believe the percentage is higher because women are now partially involved in tech and cryptocurrency, especially because they see it as something they can do while at home, but only strong-minded women with tech knowledge were able to do so because women are naturally weak and emotional. However, because of their societal power, women who invest wisely in bitcoin will contribute significantly to the expansion of bitcoin adoption. and Bitcoin investment will be the greatest investment for them if they want to stay at home and manage their wealth without stress.

Even back when I was still studying during my college days, there were really only a few women enrolling in computer studies, such as computer science and information technology courses. It seems that even until now, women are still discouraged from pursuing careers in the STEM field. For me, maybe women are not necessarily less inclined toward technology compared to men. The tech industry has been dominated by men for a long time, and it's deeply rooted in educational backgrounds. Also, based on studies, women tend to be more risk-averse in their investment choices.

Maybe the reason for this is the limited time that married women have, but for women who are not married or married, it is because they prefer to play around rather than learning something that can make money for them. That's what I've seen around me so far so I wouldn't be surprised to see that there are more men who like Bitcoin than women until now and even next year too.

Another reason that could be a trigger for this is that there are no people who want to tell women to like Bitcoin instead of liking the handsome men they love as their partners in life. So this could also be the cause of the big gap in women liking Bitcoin, although there are also other reasons such as their lack of curiosity about Bitcoin. So their days are spent on other things rather than finding out about Bitcoin via the internet or people around them.

Well, we know why in the first place. I dont want to stereotype, but most women or women don't have interest in complex things, and bitcoin or crypto currency is one of them. They are more interested in girly stuff, but there are some women who do cryptocurrency; they are the ones that are money-oriented and want to earn more money and discover bitcoin. As we know, bitcoin is not widely known, so it's natural that many women don't know that. The only way to discover bitcoin is by surfing the internet or spending more time online, which is usually a man's thing, as we like to play online or online.

Anyway, we can't just make the women like bitcoin; they don't like complex things such as bitcoin, and they much prefer a way to earn that doesn't require them to understand the complexity of bitcoin. Of course, bitcoin is risky and can be stressful.

Women are not much into technology based industry. Majority of the women were interested in service based industry. They doesn't want to risk, they find it good to stay pressure free. Another thing, women always finds a job with which she can spend good time with kids. Various reasons can be framed for the less involvement of women into bitcoin. I don't find the 10% is real, maybe they aren't active. Good number of women is involved with regular addition of bitcoin to their portfolio looking for long term profit.

Well, Bitcoin is something that's for the ones who are good at technology and I believe that most women don't really care much about technology and financial things because they mostly want to earn and spend and that's how they do while men are good at technology and also at financial things and they mostly want to be rich and have good status in a society.

I have seen many women who really don't care much about money because they believe that if men are earning money then they can spend that money for the shopping purposes. Especially, in South Asia very few women want to do any kind of thing that would make them money, the number of women as sellers is also low, and their number is also low in real estate.

Those women who are interested in Bitcoin are pretty good at technology and at the same time they have business mindset which most of the women don't have by nature or because of the rules of the society. I would say "Thumbs up," for those women who are interested in Bitcoin because they will be very few in number but they understanding about finance is as good as men. In fact, I believe that women can handle most of the things better than men.

Where did you get the figures where the woman is smaller? Is there any record that can be shown to prove that there are fewer women here in cryptocurrency?

Then one more thing: given the fact that there are fewer women in the cryptocurrency field, I don't see a problem with that either. Why is there a problem if they only have a little OP? What is your point on the topic you have chosen?

Post by: serjent05 on November 17, 2023, 10:53:12 PM
I am really curious why there are more men and women that is involved  not only in Bitcoin but in fintech as a whole.  So I tried to search for reasons and I stumbled one article that gives six reason with statistics and explanation why there is more men than women in crypto space.  The article[1] stated these reasons as:

1. Crypto often starts as a side hustle
Quote
This side-hustle culture might attract more men than women because women of all generations are still largely responsible for childcare, housekeeping duties, grocery shopping, and meal prep. Married women with children dedicate nearly twice as much time to cleaning, childcare, and housework compared to their husbands.

2. Crypto is portrayed as the next generation of tech bros
Quote
The problem isn’t that these guys exist—many of them are doing great work. The problem is that when this narrative is played over and over again, it can feel like there’s no space in it for women.

This narrative becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The “tech bro” becomes such an enduring trope that people can’t imagine life without him around, making some cool new startup that will bleed money for years before getting bought by a FAANG. They even start wearing those zip-up sweatshirts to look like a tech bro. And crypto falls right in line.

3. Crypto is for risk-takers and women aren’t encouraged to take risks
Quote
Studies show that women are more risk-averse than men. And crypto, as we know from the rollercoaster-like dips and pumps (as well as some keep-you-up-at-night-worthy regulatory uncertainty) that we experience on a weekly basis, is rather risky. But do women really feel that risk-averse that they can’t hold some blue-chip tokens?

4. Crypto requires hard skills, like comp-sci and finance
Quote
They’re heavily male for many reasons—men were historically pushed toward math, finance, and hard sciences. Boys are socialized to experiment with science and math-brain-oriented toys, like legos, at a young age. Gender norms, such as who is the “breadwinner” in the house, are trickier to erase than we think.

But crypto extends far beyond these hard skills. It’s just not well understood.

5. Crypto is for people who only talk about money
Quote
It’s possible that women don’t talk about money because of the way they’re treated when they do have money. It’s also possible that the old adage of men being breadwinners prevents women from talking about it.

6. Crypto is an anon-friendly space
Quote
But, when I was on the outside of crypto looking into this anon-dominated space, I was a little worried. Anon spaces have historically been hostile to women. Forums on anon-dominated platforms, like Reddit and FourChan are not places that women often traffic. I’m sure you’ve heard of movements like these. Anonymity is, unfortunately, one of the main tools that allow these movements to persist.

If anyone is interested to read detailed information of the list  they can read the link given below.

Here is another statement that may probably explain why there is less women in the Bitcoin industry:

When did the Gender Gap in Crypto Begin?
Major players in today’s cryptocurrency and blockchain companies were born from other male-dominated industries, like Finance and Tech. This gap can be traced back decades, to the days when women weren’t legally allowed to manage their own finances without male supervision. While men were gaining financial literacy, women were left out of the conversation.It is no surprise that those who were welcomed into the finance and technology industries would be at the forefront of these emerging digital trends. Advancements within the digital industry, such as the rise in popularity of cryptocurrency, the metaverse, and NFTS have seen the same gender involvement issues as in traditional finance. So why, even in 2022, are women feeling excluded and being left behind in the conversation?

What data do you rely on to know that there are less than 10% of women in bitcoin? Investing in bitcoin can remain private and many people are not willing to go public. How can you know that? I agree that the number of women participating is not more than men, but it cannot be said that the number of women participating in bitcoin is very small, less than 10%. I know a lot of women in my country are involved in cryptocurrency investing, they are even more prominent than men.

When I checked the statistics of women who are into Bitcoin and found out that they are less than 10%, it surprised me seriously. It is understandable when we see fewer women than men in sectors that require physical energy to carry out work activity like the military or in the engineering sector but when you still see this same work force difference in the tech and Bitcoin space that they can comfortably do at the comfort of there home, it gets me curious to know the reason that might have been responsible for this huge gap.

I would appreciate if we can talk about this here. What could be responsible for this?

I will take that stats with a pinch of salt, I don't take information without source or proof because the privacy bitcoins offer us, we are free to protect it the way we want. A man can be using a wallet for all she care but anonymously behaving like a man especially when they are not KYC on any exchange. So, saying that 10% represents women in bitcoin might not be really enough proof because you don't have a concise data to proof it.

Bitcoin was too complex many men in it early days, you should know how many women will find it difficult to set up a wallet. But things are now becoming less stress because with a simple hardware ledger, you can set up a wallet address under 10 minutes for beginner and do what you like; for those that like exchanges also use it now especially the ladies that love money, the minute they hear that bitcoin is pumping, all they think of is how to get money from it even when they don't understand it, bitcoin is always given awareness.

   Lots of reasons, the first one being that cryptocurrency is basically investment, and women represent a small minority of the investment population. Why is that, when they control 90% of purchase decisions in the US (and a growing percentage of personal wealth)? Generally, because women are more risk averse. They often view themselves as financially responsible for both themselves and their families, and see risk as not just personal loss - but loss to potential future benefit of children that would not be recoverable. Men tend not to see risk in this fashion, focusing on potential personal gain and viewing loss as generally recoverable.
   Women are also in shorter supply in the tech industry as a whole (for some fairly exhaustively covered reasons), where blockchain and crypto originated. In addition, women rarely gather to discuss financial topics or potential investments - an issue I find highly disheartening. Men do discuss these things, as they seem to find it informative and fairly impersonal, while women seem to find it somewhat threatening (worrying about how they are perceived or how much they know) and quite invasive.

The truth about this is that most women do not  have the strength to withstand the pressure of Bitcoin volatility. A woman is not as strong as a man when it comes to handling some issues. Women that are into Crypto today paid the price. Not all women like to go to that length to subject themselves to stress and things that can make them develop High blood pressure.
Another thing is that women are busy with keeping the house and other easy business. But with the way the world is going and the level of education in the world, there will be more and more ladies in the crypto space.

The post I quoted would, honestly, be offensive to some women. I will agree (re: "keeping the house") women are often more "financially protective" and less likely to take risks than men. Sometimes, keeping the house doesn't mean cleaning and Women's work, it literally means do not lose the house by messing up financially. From the start the Bitcoin Community has seen many more men present than women, it has improved in recent years.

it was offensive and a very old-fashioned way of thinking not all women are married and have devoted themselves to being housewives i’m glad you said this because this might be one of the reasons why there’s less women than men in the cryptocurrency scene

aside from that, i also believe that just the overall lack of information regarding cryptocurrencies in my country is a reason why is that there’s a lot of women in stem (science, tech, engineering, math) and we’re seeing an incline in this field even until now

It may be quite difficult to determine the data of female users who own Bitcoin.
But if based on gender, of course, data can be obtained quite easily.

As in Crypto Owner data by Gender and age of users in 2023.

It can be seen how the dominance of men as crypto users is more than women.
Women only dominate crypto at around 30%.
https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/11/17/Ftk9W.png (https://www.talkimg.com/image/Ftk9W)


And for age-appropriate crypto users, young people aged 25-34 years are quite dominant,
because indeed young people are more interested in Crypto, and some users over the age of 35 also have a good interest.

I'm skeptical about the statistics on this issue. Although I can accept that this ratio is different, and not just in the cryptocurrency environment but in most different areas of life. Maybe the problem is due to society's prejudices about the male/female factor, but it can be seen that if we don't consider it a problem, it's no longer complicated. And I think there are many cases of women who have succeeded in this field, when they also have people who have important positions in the field. So I think gender equality appears in every field although it has its own problems, but in the crypto environment we are completely confident that the issue of equality is always present.

The reason is because men tend to be willing to take risks and like technical things, compared to women who think that things like Bitcoin are too risky and complicated to understand. And because of this, most women take jobs that are certain and have less risk, such as opening a small business, working in an office, or being a housewife. Hence why in the crypto world most men take part in it and there are fewer women in this field.
Maybe in the future there will be more women taking part in the crypto world in line with the development of the crypto market and increasing public education about Bitcoin.

There's a typical answer to this AFAIK according to my social learnings, here in our society mostly men take care of the financial responsibilities, I'm not saying women don't but mostly men take of the financial responsibilities of the family, and Women take care of the House, Relations with other families etc etc.

Whether it's a Digital platform or a Physical workplace, you'll always find mostly men working to fulfill the needs of the family somehow, but after the COVID-19 crisis, I have seen many women also coming to freelancing and work-from-home platforms to provide their services to financially support the family. So nothing is shocking dear OP. I'm sure the number will be changing in the near future but it really doesn't matter whether Men or Women adopt Bitcoin's network and take it as a mode of payment or financial stability by making significant investment time to time.

Many factors contribute to the lack of female Bitcoin users, including social standards and educational trends. Consider that IT and finance are male-dominated, making it difficult for women to enter. Could social preconceptions and a lack of role models be to blame for this gap? Of course.

The low ratio of women in Bitcoin isnt just due to external restrictions. Maybe men and women have different risk thresholds and financial choices. Women are less risk-taking with money, according to research. Lets not simplify. Many personal, national, and social elements influence people's decisions.

Closing this gap requires focused programs like inclusive education, mentoring, and community assistance. How can we make Bitcoin more accessible to women? New viewpoints will be added to the field.

And how did you get that statistics? I think there doesn't exist any real statistics regarding to men/women involvement ratio in crypto because the nature of crypto is such that it protects basic privacy. You don't need to fill your full name, birthdate and gender when you download and run Bitcoin Core, Electrum and Sparrow.

But I think fewer women than men will be involved in Bitcoin because women rarely go in tech, especially if woman is beautiful. Simply, there are easier and more effective options for them while men can't sell their beauty and still in too many countries, men have to take care of families while women have to stay at home and raise children. This pushes men to look for many options and that's how many of them discover bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

I don't know for sure that there are less women than men in bitcoin but if the question arises in bitcoin investment, women or men invest more. Then I would say definitely male. In most cases the head of a family is the father/husband, who heads all the family activities. In Maximum Family all financial decisions are made by the head of the family. But the present time is different, now there is no difference in the society, now any decision is taken by both men and women. There was a time when women were deprived of rights in developing countries, but now women are becoming more proactive and investing because of equal rights between men and women. Although it is only a matter of time, the gender gap in Bitcoin will disappear in the future.

I don't think there is someone that could be pointed out as responsible for this, it's just that this field, and even finance in general, is probably more attractive for men rather than women. If a woman is interested in bitcoin/finance she can pursuit that interest, no one is going to stop her. I don't know about you but I'm not sure I know a single woman that is actually interested in investments.

Even back when I was still studying during my college days, there were really only a few women enrolling in computer studies, such as computer science and information technology courses. It seems that even until now, women are still discouraged from pursuing careers in the STEM field. For me, maybe women are not necessarily less inclined toward technology compared to men. The tech industry has been dominated by men for a long time, and it's deeply rooted in educational backgrounds. Also, based on studies, women tend to be more risk-averse in their investment choices.

Men are more interested in technology that provides new innovations and create space for their growth and experience. They are more tech savvy than women. However, women are also seen interested in technology as well but they don't see it like how the men do, as they only use this technology for their own life's nourishment but when it comes to risk, they are most likely somewhat fearful.

Most especially when we talk about bitcoin that is known for its high volatility and being a high risk asset. Women do not easily engage and embrace the kind of innovation it brings, but men are more aggressive to explore more about bitcoin and discover the various opportunities that bitcoin has to offer.

Generally, women are often stereotyped as being less logical, less good at math, and less interested in technology and these can discourage them from pursuing careers in tech. These stereotypes are often reinforced by popular culture and media and can lead to self fulfilling prophecies. So, a big reason for the gender imbalance in Bitcoin is the fact that it originated in a very male dominated industry, which is tech and the fact that bitcoin is very volatile make it seem risky and unappealing to women. We all understand how women are not too good in tolerating risk but I think as Bitcoin becomes more mainstream and more widely accepted, it's likely that we'll see more women getting involved in it.

Dude it's the 21st century so I don't think that your stereotyping of women is absolutely true, I can give you a leeway and say that it's still true to some degree but to say that it's what they're interested and saying that it's all they are is kind of ignorant but it's not your fault, you just don't know better. Women can be what they want to be, sure a lot of the male dominated fields are still close to 90% male but that doesn't mean that there's no women out there that's in those field especially with technology which was highly male dominated.

A lot of influential women are big contributors to technology, I mean the code to run the Apollo 11 Moon Mission was written by a woman (I forgot her name, I feel bad as I am making a point), Marie Curie for her discovery of radioactive elements, there's probably more out there so don't say that women are less interested in technology, it probably has to do with nurturing and the nature where the child grows. Maybe because we see that there's less women in crypto is probably because we only interact with other men most of the time so we have a hard time looking at the big picture that there's women that's interested in bitcoin.

I find it quite counterproductive when people refer to some data, research or events without providing any links. This way we need to look for it ourselves before actually discussing the topic or assume that the claim is true, which many people do, but I think isn't ideal. I've seen data  (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/30/cryptocurrency-has-a-big-gender-problem.html) that twice as many men invest in cryptos as women, but that's, like, 66% vs 33%, nowhere near 90% vs 10% or even less than 10% as the op's suggesting. There's some gender gap in men investing more than women, some gap in salaries, also the ratio of 3:1 men vs women in tech (https://www.luisazhou.com/blog/women-in-tech-statistics/).
That's just the world we live in, the world that's still full of societies that have many stereotypes and a lot of social pressure regarding what is and isn't fitting for women to do. Of course, the world is changing, but it's a fact that the vast majority of the world is still far from gender equality. You can see hints of it even in this thread, in claims like women being into beauty and kitchen, husbands being the heads of families, etc.

Why do op think that there are less woman in the Crypto market than the men. Is there any means or evidence to justify this?
If he could create a questionaire and try to know what gender is more in cryptocurrency, I think that would be acceptable after results had be gathered for this. There are regions where we have more female in cryptocurrency using it for their businesses than the male.
There could be more males in general but the difference would not be much like the way many of us might think.

True be told, males dominates in everything, there is no doubt about this but in crypto space there are many female than you know, there is no way we can get data on this but with the little people that I know I believe that many females are into crypto.

We are now in a world where women want to stand for themselves, they don't want to be under any man and rely on them for everything, like I have an aunt who is living in Chicago, she is into crypto and I don't even know it until we talked on phone, and she claimed that her friend put her through, it was a good feeling for me because I thought I was the only one and she sound happy that I know everything about crypto too.

She claimed that most of her friends are all into trading and crypto investment, as old as she is I was very happy to hear this from her, I felt released somehow upon hearing this from her, I believe that the lack of valid data on how many females are into crypto is why some people still believe that less women and female in general are into crypto, you are damn wrong.

Lastly this forum is not a place to post pictures like Facebook,Instagram, telegram and Twitter where they can be posting such picture. they always want to be pampered and appreciated but here is full of law and strict. To navigate through the axis of this forum is more of decipline than just some kind of place were you can pick a fight. And hey! Ladies like gossiping and there is no room for gossip here.

Maybe because of our social system, if we see that women are lagging behind the number of men in participation not only in this Bitcoin but also in most sectors. Maybe it could be that the psychological system of women is different from the psychological system of men. Because the attitude of women to take risk is much less than men, in this case it can be seen that women lag behind in various fields. But now the scenario is changing and women are also starting to enter various sectors, though I doubt that this difference will change in the future.

I don’t think it should be surprising at all. If you check the statistics for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), you’ll see the huge gender gap created by men. And having it that everything crypto is technological, it’s expected that there will be lesser women around anything tech-oriented. And yes, don’t forget to consider the gender inequality and stereotypes! However, women are beginning to shrink this gap. Today, we can see many women in tech as they talk about cryptocurrencies, programming, etc, like it is nothing.

In every field of life you will see that the percentage of women are less than man may be due to the reason that they have responsibility of a home they have to look after their children. In past there were only two or three women in a specific job but now a days the number of women is higher as Compared to past but is not higher as that of man. I think man need job opportunities more than female because a man support his mother, wife and sister but women if wants to support her family then she can but there is no necessitates on her to take this responsibility.

Some women have no permission to go outside their homes therefore sometimes they are not involved in businesses creation but they are a part of online business or online earning and now a days you can see that in online earning females are more than male. It also depends on the condition of a family but I think that in past women had no interest towards jobs but now they can understand that how hard a man manage home activities. Bitcoin is a digital asset so its matters are solve online therefore women are also a part of bitcoin but most of women are not educated so they cannot understand the use of bitcoin well.

I think the reason for this is probably because dealing in bitcoin really requires one to be of high intellect when it comes to online stuffs that require one dealing with money, to be a successful bitcoin investor or trader, and in crypto at large, one need to be mentally strong, as there are several challenges he or she will have to deal with, most especially in the area of risk and security.

And I believe that majority will agree with me that most women are none risk takers, most women love to play it safe, and the bitcoin space, and the cryptocurrency space at large is not a place to play it safe at all time, for here, risk is required to make money, and like I already said, majority of women hate taking risk.

This, I believe is the reason why there are still a very limited number of women in bitcoin and crypto at large.

Apart from the fact that it is known that women love to play it safe and hence, stick to traditional white collar jobs or military or some other real job that entails real tasks, Men are just natural risk takers and when the risk pays off, we call such a man successful.
The idea of BTC or crypto currency is still not yet understood by majority, but those who benefit from the existence of cryptocurrencies, were in pain or had been insulted somehow and decided to find an alternative source to make profit from it.

On a contrast, the statistics may be skewed, in that women may know about the benefits of earning or investing in cryptocurrency, but are just too multitasked to concentrate on the best investment approach to even begin with.

Cause there's just less women involved in tech and finance overall. And this is despite the fact that women are becoming more involved in this sector after the fact.

Bitcoin's indiscriminate when it comes to who it allows to be involved with it and who's not. But when the premise is set where you never touched a computer or a phone for anything other than tiktok vids, shopping spree, and all that fancy girl stuff, you're bound to remain within that cage and not explore even more horizons beyond what you can see. And this is also why the women that are in tech, are so competent at what they do. They've been in an industry predominated by males and they are desperate to prove themselves beyond the preconceptions that have been set against them, which leads to them being undercompensated and overqualified.

Maybe the reason for this is the limited time that married women have, but for women who are not married or married, it is because they prefer to play around rather than learning something that can make money for them. That's what I've seen around me so far so I wouldn't be surprised to see that there are more men who like Bitcoin than women until now and even next year too.

Another reason that could be a trigger for this is that there are no people who want to tell women to like Bitcoin instead of liking the handsome men they love as their partners in life. So this could also be the cause of the big gap in women liking Bitcoin, although there are also other reasons such as their lack of curiosity about Bitcoin. So their days are spent on other things rather than finding out about Bitcoin via the internet or people around them.
This for me, is a very shallow reasoning you have just given here. Playing around and not being serious with life isn't gender-related at all, anybody can choose not to take his or her life seriously and so I think it should never be considered in the first place.

On your second point, people don't necessarily have to tell women about Bitcoin before they know what it is, as a matter of fact, the majority of those women who are not directly into Bitcoin or tech already know about it but for reasons best known to them, they decided not to venture into that field.

There are many things that contribute to the underrepresentation of women in the Bitcoin community. The tech industry including cryptocurrency has historically been male dominated resulting in fewer women pursuing careers or interests in this field. Barriers like gender stereotypes, lack of female role models & limited access to educational resources can discourage women from getting involved. Creating inclusive spaces, providing mentorship opportunities & promoting diversity could help address this gender gap & encourage more women to participate and contribute to the world of Bitcoin.

There can be multiple reasons for that, but two of the most probable reasons that I can think of. The first reason is that women, in general, are not that much into the technology we see all around the world, even when it comes to studies, choosing careers, etc., they will mostly go with other things like medicine, arts, management, and many more but it's mostly men that go into this field based on their interests and mindset, probably. And since Bitcoin is technically something that is related to technology, it doesn't interest them a lot, maybe.

The second reason, in my opinion, is that women, all around the globe, are mostly into managing and taking care of their homes instead of managing the finances or working or providing for the family or taking care of the savings and stuff, which is why you don't see a lot of women being interested in or involved with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies because they don't get into these things and are busy with other stuff most of the time.

AFAIK, there are studies showing that the tech industry was dominated by males. The boys are mostly introduced to gadgets and spend more time on it even at a younger age. Meaning, that most men have a better understanding and a positive view, especially of Bitcoin. Women choose other career based on their preferred ones which they think have more capability like in business, or any other related field.

When I checked the statistics of women who are into Bitcoin and found out that they are less than 10%, it surprised me seriously. It is understandable when we see fewer women than men in sectors that require physical energy to carry out work activity like the military or in the engineering sector but when you still see this same work force difference in the tech and Bitcoin space that they can comfortably do at the comfort of there home, it gets me curious to know the reason that might have been responsible for this huge gap.

I would appreciate if we can talk about this here. What could be responsible for this?
I don't know how you were able to check the stats about this particular thought of yours but I won't doubt the fact though that they might be more men than women in the crypto space but there is this fact again around this logic which is the issue of every user involved in the internet is first declared as a male until its further clarification and even in the forum here it's a major thing. During the last community award here where users had to vote for members on some specific awards many people voted wrongly on a specific award meant for the lady of forum.

So far what I have captured from the replies of the users is gender and responsibilities at home "housewife". Blockchain technology in bitcoin is not that complicated, it is not based on formal education with technology majors, both men and women have the same right to learn even from friends, in theory when we read about wallets it can be up to tens or even hundreds of sheets and will even continue to connect, I simplify that the phonecell version of the wallet is available completely and very concise for beginners, the principle is download => create a wallet => receive bitcoin, to understand the exchanger will be gradual and I don't think it will take up to 2 days to be able to have bitcoin, whether men or women at home or in the office there is no influence as long as there is internet access.
Women can experience an increased interest in bitcoin if a country has been bitcoin-regulated, suppose some service providers such as beauty salons, shopping centers, food, cafes or what women like have accepted bitcoin personally, I think it will make women learn from the easiest thing. No matter how much reading about bitcoin for beginners, the bright spot is how she starts buying bitcoin and storing it, either from today from the closest person or tutorials from famous cexes have facilitated for basic guidance. Women can use bitcoin anytime

OP you said here that there are fewer women than men in bitcoin. Yes Bitcoin has less women than men but the reason for less is explained differently by different people, I personally explained that women can't handle more work load. They always want to be independent. I asked my wife one day whether to start working with Bitcoin? My wife says she won't work on bitcoin. Why should I earn money if I marry? I know there are many women with the same mindset as my wife who will not make money. Because girls don't like to take too much pressure and working in Bitcoin requires a lot of pressure which most girls can't handle. And maybe this is the reason why girls are much less than men in Bitcoin.

IMHO, this is an unimportant matter but just really a matter of discussion. But it finds interesting for those who are looking at this subject, it's because that we know that men are interested with so many things that includes computer, gadgets, techs, etcs.

But take a look at the known FTX debacle, who's part of that scam? A woman, a lover of the CEO that has stolen a lot of money from people.

So, you can't verily say that we've got less woman on this space. Let's say that it is a fact but you know that we've seen a woman who's been involved with one of the biggest fiasco on this space.

From my understanding,  women are not much inclined to thongs they perceive to be risky as Bitcoin is made to appear. Many people really see Bitcoin as risky and that is what women are not ready to embrace easily. Women are very conservative and will not want to lose what they have.

However, there are also women that take more risk than men. They can do anything to make money. There was even discussion that women make better investors than men but there was no data to support this claim.

So there are fewer women involved in Bitcojn than men and that is understandable.

A little surprised when you who created this topic actually consider other people's responses as very shallow reasons, so I need to know the deepest reasons you have for this. Because I don't think that people who have been successful in this world live in a way that is not serious, but on the contrary, they always work hard to be successful and this is clearly not limited by gender. And if you think the reason I have limited this to gender, it seems you need to re-understand what I said previously here.

On your second point, people don't necessarily have to tell women about Bitcoin before they know what it is, as a matter of fact, the majority of those women who are not directly into Bitcoin or tech already know about it but for reasons best known to them, they decided not to venture into that field.
If you consider the second point to be important, what is your aim in creating this topic? Someone who doesn't know about Bitcoin certainly has nothing to tell his own woman, but does that also apply to those who already know Bitcoin? It seems that you prefer to think in one direction without changing direction into two sides in this case. Each person's life journey is different and each person's response to anything is different, so you cannot equate your thoughts with other people's thoughts in matters like this. Because telling a female partner about Bitcoin is very common even if the woman does not make further inquiries into what she has heard from her partner.

I remember a thread on our board that we discussed this topic, and the data if I remember correctly was for 2020 and 2021, 8%, you don't mention where you get that 10% from or what date it corresponds to but if it is recent it is a significant improvement .

In reality they have been improving, but there is no precise cause for that and in any case this data only handles white papers, companies and all that information in the public domain and compares it in that same environment, so the numbers could actually be be worse.

Hmm, buddy, that is a good opinionions. I really appreciate your thoughts on this thread, but one thing I need to clarify is that the crypto space is surrounded by risk, and risk is a common matter in it. In fact, a risk can be taken by someone who has money. And if we talk about money, the majority of the world population man has much more money than women, because it is obvious that most business people in the world are men, so money is also with men. Women live with the support of men, whether they are mothers, wives, or sisters. Not all of them get their own money, but men give it to them, and this is not for all women; some of them are good with finances, like they do their own business, ect.

So I think there may be a reason why there are more men than women in the crypto industry.

The second reason is that women are narrow-minded; they cannot do complex work and are often afraid to do complex work. Therefore, don't you see that most of the inventions in the world have been made by men? Some of them have been made by women too, but the majority of gold medal winners are men. No one degrades women in this; they have their own services in their own places.

Everything which demands to be pioneered will have less women involved than men. Women are less prone to take risks and will tend to seek for stability and convenience. Once Bitcoin becomes a normal thing widely adopted by the vast portion of society, without frequent waves of rage against it by the mainstream, women will feel more confortable adopting it for their lives as well, although since it's a financial matter, the tendency is that they still left it for men to take care of, with some exceptions, of course.

Anyway, it's likely the nature of men and women remain the same on long run, despite some social movements trying to invert the roles, which in fact are an attempt to subvert the natural essence of both, which have to coexist in balance in order to reach harmony and communion, which are also related to progress and evolution.


Title: Re: Why are there fewer women Than men involved in Bitcoin?
Post by: thecodebear on November 19, 2023, 05:42:53 PM
Probably a combo of women being less involved in the tech and finance worlds, and it is people from those fields who were likely a lot of the first people to get into Bitcoin before Bitcoin became widely known in 2017.

Add to this the fact that men are simply more willing to take risks than women in general. Fewer women are willing to put their money into something as new and seemingly risky as Bitcoin. Probably just innate traits of men and women, women are instinctually nurturers and protectors, men are instinctually more action-takers and therefore risk takers. Men are simply more likely to put their money into a high-risk high-reward investment than women are. And as much as we all know that Bitcoin is hard money which is incredibly safe, people not well acquainted with Bitcoin just view it as a high-risk investment that has a lot of hype but always crashes, and they always assume at any given time it is too late to get in because whatever the last peak was must be the final peak of this high risk thing. Women are only more likely to believe that having less risk-taking instincts than men.

With both those things combined, Bitcoiners historically have been mostly men. Plus, now because there are many more men than women in Bitcoin/Crypto some women are stereotyping the space as being a male-only thing. And because the uninformed/misinformed view of Bitcoin is that its a bad thing, these women literally think Bitcoin is some male scam lol. They think anything to do with cryptocurrency means you're a "crypto bro" and that Bitcoin and Crypto was literally created to be some sort of male exclusive club for men. So some women are actively pushing a negative male-Bitcoin stereotype that just reinforces the already existing statistics of how many of each gender and into Bitcoin. Granted this is only a small minority of women but it just further diminishes the numbers of women vs men in Bitcoin.



I think the only way women start to catch up to men in Bitcoin is by getting the masses educated on Bitcoin so they know it is hard money and they understand the market cycles and they can understand that Bitcoin isn't just going to go away, that it doesn't just always crash but in fact always keeps becoming more valuable long term, and that it has nothing to do with men but is for everyone, and its just a revolutionary currency, not some risky get rich quick scheme. Bitcoin needs to feel like a safe investment for more women to get into it. This will start to happen once the masses are much more educated on Bitcoin and once the 4 year market cycle starts to fade away as adoption matures so that we don't get the giant long crashes every four years because non-risk-takers focus their attention on the crashes, not the long term gains, so they literally think Bitcoin goes down in price even though it goes up in price.

Bitcoin investment, knowledge and all whatnot may not be physically exhausting but the mental ability put into it for anyone interested in it isn't a joke. Women don't like what will stress them that much. Learning about Bitcoin is complex and technical. Again, Bitcoin started out with a lot of misgivings and misinformation as a scam. Thus, many people steered clear of it; majority were women. Till date, that misconception hasn't completely cleared in people's mind. Men can easily stomach loss but it's not that way with women. Women are often emotional around stuff like this. I think the loss part of this industry may not be what women want to deal with.

Bitcoin investment or bitcoin trading is not something that one must come to air at anytime I still understand that bitcoin investment is not an open investment where one would come to always announced about their holding or the totality of their funds invested into bitcoin. Here is another cool place to say that we have woman as well even though we are few in numbers but yes it is not easy to actually scale through this part because I can say it's time consuming especially those who owns a family (married) it's very difficult to handle family and to dip down here to study things which you knows that would take time to be able to succeed. The most important thing is bitcoin investment doesn't consumed time rather one needs to be financially stable to be able to accumulate more btc through DCA, at the cost of doing this the female investors will not come to speak or post anywhere about her investment since women are more economical and also very secretive with their money.

The number of employable male youths is higher than that of female youths. That is to say in everyday life men seems to be more dominant in places of work and more. Men are natural risk takers and they don't think much before they can take risks.

This is unlike women who doesn't take risks easily and that is why they normally do not invest easily. Even when you check gambling statistics, I think women are not heavily involved in gambling. That is just their own way of life even if it is wrong.

Women actually have different investments than men, they prefer to invest in body care and beauty to attract rich partners lol. I still accept the fact that women are not really required to be involved in bitcoin, they should be able to focus more on taking care of the household and themselves, let more men get involved in bitcoin, we have to respect someone's choice of decision, if there are fewer women involved in bitcoin then just accept that.

As others have mentioned, women are more risk averse than men, but there is a reason for it and it’s not because women are simple, weak creatures that only want to spend, they are risk averse because they usually are responsible for their children and family. Between feeding your kids and investing in a highly volatile asset, the choice for women is an easy one. And it’s not really a choice.

Furthermore, men hold most of the world’s wealth, women don’t accumulate as much money as men, therefore, they have less savings to invest - not just in Bitcoin, but in real estate as well, in Wall Street, etc.

Finally, women are usually kept out of tech/anon spaces. These spaces are very hostile to women, I mean, just read this thread, it reeks of contempt.

Men are definitely more technology inclined and are certainly more assertive when it comes to dealing and managing risk opportunities. With bitcoin, then its expected that men will be highly interested on it rather than seeing women conquering the crypto space. Although I have no against women being successful on bitcoin, but we can't deny the fact that men are more capable to succeed on bitcoin since they are not risk averse unlike women are.

However, we can still assume that in the future, both men and women will be able to achieve the heights of success with bitcoin. This is not really impossible because although women are risk averse, but with their various experiences in the realities about life, these women will come out powerful and risk takers just as men are.

It would have carried more weight if you shared the source of this finding because how do you carry out the sampling in the first place when users here choose to be whoever they want to be..male or female, hero or villain, etc?? Btw unfortunately these are usually biased numbers as they are based on assumptions afaik!

And considering bitcoin is an internet thing, don't you think women too use men's usernames to avoid being picked on or seen as the weakling, so the numbers stack up in favor of the men, if not maybe women are less risk takers and think bitcoin is high risk to try...the same concept insurance companies use to charge higher premiums for men than women.

Women are not always perceived as more hardworking than men. Men have always played a significant role in everything in the world before women entered the picture. Men are always the ones who pave the way for women to follow. When the path is clear and certain, women will follow in the footsteps of men. As far as I am concerned, Bitcoin is still a new technology; the number of people investing in bitcoin in comparison to the total world population demonstrates that it is a new technology that is still in its early stages.

I know there are women in the crypto space, and even if some of them hide their identities, they are still fewer than men. Bitcoin is for everyone, and I am confident that in the coming years, more women will enter the crypto space because of how valuable it must have been to the world by then, and no gender will want to miss out on its opportunities.

When from the get-go you're told to stay in the kitchen (and I'm not saying this to sound misogynistic, I'm literally the last person to be a misogynist), you're bound to go wherever you're told to go as a kid. Males have a larger span of what they could do and couldn't do, while women get stuck with doing whatever they were told was cool, and not. Lately however, there's been a paradigm shift where more women are starting to take up jobs in the world of IT and cryptocurrencies adjacent, which means that we're going to get more women in this industry soon enough, and not only women that would invest, we'll have people of the fairer sex literally chipping in what they could to make this industry better and more amazing.

I think some women didn't share or expose their gender here in the forum and that's why you may feel that there's not much women here in the forum.

Indeed, it seems that it is in the nature of men to have the courage to take risks for future progress, while women tend to do things that are certain and of course safe. However, in fact, in the current era, there are many women who actually have more knowledge about Bitcoin, but they are more likely to keep quiet.

Maybe their numbers are higher but they don't want to disclose themselves. Even if this is the case, I think the number of men would be higher, but the number of female Bitcoin investors could still be higher than stated. Not everyone has to disclose their investments. I think women also make their investments secretly.

The capabilities of women in many business fields are enormous. If you do some research in science and math, you can see how women stand out. In areas that men like to talk about, like investing and sports, women don't show themselves as much. There are more men investing in Bitcoin, but the number of women should not be underestimated.

Everyone will definitely think about their future to be better than what they are currently doing and the road to success will of course have many obstacles that they will face and also the risk of failure that they have to overcome in order to achieve success. Indeed, most men are more likely to take risks than men. Because women have the character of men who like challenges so they will face the risks they will take to achieve the success they want, this is very different from women who just want fewer challenges because they only want things that are easy to do.

You are right, by having knowledge about Bitcoin of course they can involve themselves in investing and trading with Bitcoin because they can still do it while taking care of their family.

Usually, women are less involved in financial matters, and this can be one reason that they are less involved in bitcoins too. Think for a moment that you need money to invest in bitcoin, So when women do not have the control over the money, they won't be able to do investments in Bitcoins BTC.

Yeah, being a partner of men, they can advise them to invest in Bitcoin and even tell them that the future of Bitcoin is more secure, and the evolution of fiat money will come to its dead end, but because women do not have control, they can't just control their finances to convert directly into bitcoin, its usually the Men who take ultimate decisions.

If I remember correctly, my professor back in my college, she said that mostly men are objective while women are subjective. She example imagine you are gonna hire someone, a woman would say that the person is actually good and kind so she would hire him, and the man would focus on their skills and experiences. This is only from my professor's words, but personally, the reason behind the low number of data on women engaging in Bitcoin is due to they are much more focused on other industries that don't involve high risk. If we can observe some heavy work for men that involves masculinity they are much more experienced in a work field that doesn't need comfort. They are much more exposed to exploring and risking especially when it comes to financial matters. Of course, women are free to do anything they want and they can also do the things men can do (except heavy work such as construction I think), as they would really need to control their emotions and mental thinking when it comes to Bitcoin, in the end I support gender equality where there's equal treatment for both men and women.

This is a similar question to the Why are there fewer women than men involved in Business? The reason is simple. Men are used to handling business and financial things while women are more like to handle the rest of the things. It's men's responsibility to make money for their family which is the reason men handle the financial things too.

Since men handle financial things, they are the ones who thinks about where to invest, where their money will be secure, and where will get more privacy. This is the possible reason why there are fewer women compared to men.

Another important factor is that women are generally less willing to take a risk than men, and since Bitcoin is pretty new and very risky, no wonder that fewer women are interested in it.


If I were to take my wife as an example, women are not really supporters of the hold, especially not in the long term.  ;D

Naturally men are more daring to take risks and try out new technologies so it is what is expected. And nothing is wrong with that . I know one or two very strong Bitcoin core developers who are women. And a couple of others who a quietly holding. We still need to do work in getting more women involved in Bitcoin. It is just not good for the community but for the gender as well.
A man's nature suits investing in bitcoin because if you look at everything about bitcoin men are more interested and aside the risk women might not want to hold for long, i seriously don't even have idea on women that are involved in bitcoin but maybe I might get the opportunity to actually get to meet one someday, their will be secret holders because women actually knows how to keep secrets and very soon more women will want to be part of bitcoin that I know.

It is hard to get an accurate statistics on things like these, that's because people don't publicly talk about the BTC's they have in their wallet, and not everyone uses centralized services that they have to register with an ID, which would reveal their gender.

But we can all agree that the men are more involved in BTC than women, and we can get to that conclusion by the people around us in our society and even our country, and it is obvious that men around us are more interested in BTC and technology. There is a cultural difference that exists in each country, but i don't think anyone can prove that there is a country where women are more interested in technology than men, in some countries the percentage of women involved in science and technology would be higher when you compare it with that of another country, but over all, the men involved would still be higher than the women.

This is true that there are a fewer women Than men involved in Bitcoin. So there is need that women should be attracted in this business. Because they can join it as a home based business. They can do better work for crypto staying at home. Especially in the eastern countries and middle east. But this is encouraging position that the number of woman doing work for bicoin is increasing day by day. And it is hoped that they will step forward for this business. women are more than 50% of the population of the world. So it is need of time that they take part in all trade of life including bitcoin and crpto.

Even though there's no any statistical data to proof this that men are more than women in bitcoin network, but it's something we cab use our own personal eyes to see how men got engaged in digital technology to the rate at which women were also found involved in this altogether, also we can get some additional informations maybe through some of the exchanges and that's for the sake of those using them.

Investing in Bitcoin for most women is just like gambling with their hard earned money, this they see as a risky adventure. Women are generally risk adverse and will run away from any project that does not guarantee at least up to 80% that they will get good returns on their investments.

Most Women are very sensitive to losses. Even when they've made numerous gains before the loss occurred, they'll still cry over that one loss. Such women can never invest in Bitcoin or any other risky business.  Peradventure they manage to invest,  they will quit once they incur any significant loss even if they've been benefiting before. Only few women can take the bull by the horn and compete favourably with their male counterparts in the Bitcoin space and other risk related fields.

When it comes to investment in Bitcoin I could attest to the fact that there are fewer women than men. I see women as receivers and not givers. This is why most women do not see any need to invest in Bitcoin, because they don't have any future ambition or are not investment wise. Most persons use Bitcoin as a store of value to pass down to heirs and their generations. And this is done mostly by men, not women. We have only few women who see the need to keep generational wealth.

I believe with what you said, but not all I know there are women who are not givers and the fact that they are more than the ones who want to get their own and provide for themselves. However, one of the reasons why we have few women in bitcoin is, I can say, due to exposure to the internet. If you look at it, you will see that men are more exposed and use phones than women, and the stress of learning the whole process in bitcoin. Not all women can do that, and that is why we have a few of them. However, some of them will like to get something like a bitcoin investment, but they are not aware of it or they don’t have someone that will teach them.

However, you can’t say women don’t have future ambitions, they do, but our destiny is not the same, and we have different views on things. The way you view bitcoin and cryptocurrency, other people view it, so some women are not ready for that, not that they don’t know about it, but they are not ready to engage in it.

The reason is because men tend to be willing to take risks and like technical things, compared to women who think that things like Bitcoin are too risky and complicated to understand. And because of this, most women take jobs that are certain and have less risk, such as opening a small business, working in an office, or being a housewife. Hence why in the crypto world most men take part in it and there are fewer women in this field.
Maybe in the future there will be more women taking part in the crypto world in line with the development of the crypto market and increasing public education about Bitcoin.
Don't forget that Bitcoin is also a currency and there is no risk on using that, just like how we use our money/fiats. It's just that there are more people who treat BTC as an asset and maybe what you said there is true on why there is only less women involved on it.

Even in gambling, women's involvement is also lesser than on men, even though the primary purpose of gambling is for entertainment. But just like in BTC, majority also prefer to treat it as a money-making machine. And we all know that there is a risk on that, which a lot of women may dislike. If it's only about being too technical or complicated, women have no issues on it. They are in fact more smarter than most men.

That's unnecessary, not the community nor the gender will have any effect just because women are not actively involved with cryptocurrencies or the blockchain industry in general. It's their choice, and they probably aren't interested in it and that's completely okay. There are a lot of things in the world that are more suitable for women and men are not actively participating in them, similarly, technology and cryptocurrencies are more of interest to men than women.

It's not like women are completely out of it, you can find a lot of women who are involved in cryptocurrencies either in the development sector or trading and investing, my spouse is a cryptocurrency trader, and so are many other girls and women that I know. So, it's mostly about the interest and capabilities of people whether they can participate or not.

When I checked the statistics of women who are into Bitcoin and found out that they are less than 10%, it surprised me seriously. It is understandable when we see fewer women than men in sectors that require physical energy to carry out work activity like the military or in the engineering sector but when you still see this same work force difference in the tech and Bitcoin space that they can comfortably do at the comfort of there home, it gets me curious to know the reason that might have been responsible for this huge gap.

I would appreciate if we can talk about this here. What could be responsible for this?
OP you said here that there are fewer women than men in bitcoin. Yes Bitcoin has less women than men but the reason for less is explained differently by different people, I personally explained that women can't handle more work load. They always want to be independent. I asked my wife one day whether to start working with Bitcoin? My wife says she won't work on bitcoin. Why should I earn money if I marry? I know there are many women with the same mindset as my wife who will not make money. Because girls don't like to take too much pressure and working in Bitcoin requires a lot of pressure which most girls can't handle. And maybe this is the reason why girls are much less than men in Bitcoin.
What do you mean by working in bitcoin? investing buying and selling by understanding charts or hunting for prizes like the signatue campaign that you did? Women will feel comfortable if their economy is fulfilled as you provide, your attitude is worth emulating ;D indeed the responsibility is on men even women assume all the costs of their needs are on men, men do give freedom even with freelance at home using an internet connection to hunt bitcoin. Men also if they do not understand about bitcoin will assume bitcoin is done by professionals and requires sufficient education, there is a level of patience that must be tested, especially technical, gender does not affect because the nature and mindset of a person can change because of habit and necessity, for example there is a desire to buy something, bitcoin is the most free job to manage time, if simplified.

this makes society place certain roles on them like nursing, teaching, interior design e.t.c
Even in societies that don't enforce those roles on women, they still rather chose them over more traditional male jobs. Man and women are simply different.
Yes but have you looked at the origin of why they still take on those jobs? Society has often given the ideology that some roles/jobs are rather suited for men while others are better off for women. These stereotypes can influence the career decisions even from a young age, after all kids are exposed to gendered expectations and societal norms. There are factors that discourage women from going into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, do we even have enough role models for aspiring female engineers? How about sexism and microaggressions? Society has already told women what to think from an early age, unfortunately.

Most of the time women stay at home, they only do housework unlike men who keep working to earn money. It is natural for men to seek money even if the job is not suitable for their skill. But there are women because of the situation they work cause no one can provide for their family or maybe they don't have a family anymore that's why they are called independent woman. They are forced to work in order to buy some food for a living. Getting knowledge of Bitcoin for me is an opportunity because not everyone has knowledge of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is hard to learn if you are self-learning. It is best to have someone teach you so that you are aware of what you should and should not do.

Can you provide a link of those statistics and when they were done and where?
Within Bitcoin itself, there are no gender differences. However, in certain cases, sometimes there are some fields that make more or less women interested in entering them. Like in the world of education, in my area there are more women, and several things in other fields. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, may be because crypto is considered quite high risk, so not many women tend to be interested. Although in fact, many women have entered the crypto world, both as team developers, traders, investors, and so on.

As for this forum itself, I'm also not sure how big the percentage of men and women is. because here we are prioritizing the principle of privacy where we may not know who the person and gender are behind each account.

That's just our society.
There are less woman than men in finance as well, so it's only fair to assume with bitcoin anc crypto in general it's similar or just the same.
Why that is, well it has always been like that.
Woman chase other careers than this field so that's it I guess.

Not talking about classic roles or whatever, just classic preference.

Not only in Bitcoin I have seen women but in many other fields I have seen women as less as we think. I have noticed them in the business side even they are a little behind from the men and thus they didn't have business ideas and are very less involved in the business.

Bitcoin has a better value through which men had already earned many. The women will make themselves better if they work on the business side and if they achieved their success regarding the bitcoin matter.

I add to the basic thing, namely one of the driving factors is that if the woman has blood from a trading family, it will automatically flow in her body, especially investing in BTC to the retail kiosk that she is planning. all lines must have him. But if there isn't one (Bloodline) chances are they don't like it and don't have time to think about it (Business).

To be honest, I personally have never done research on the role of women in the crypto field like bitcoin. Because I don't think it's that important. The reason is, the world of crypto and bitcoin is very anonymous and prioritizes privacy. So for me personally there is no reason for me to know how many women in the world are involved in crypto or bitcoin. But if you ask what perspective I have. In my opinion, if currently women are still very much a minority in the crypto or bitcoin field, maybe it's all because women tend to look more at a business or something that can make money that is clear and not complicated. Meanwhile, the crypto or bitcoin realm requires extra analysis, research and patience to be able to gain profits. So perhaps it is because of this factor that many women do not enter the realm of crypto or bitcoin.

This isn't unique to Bitcoin. It's the whole technology sector. Men make up the majority of the workforce. This has been the case for thousands of years of human development. However, in the last century there has been a significant participation of women in the labor force. The number of women in the technology sector is also increasing. In the finance sector, there is a significant increase in female population. Although the number of women interested in Bitcoin is currently low, it will increase over time. After a few generations, there may be a noticeable difference. Thousands of years of historical facts don't change from today to tomorrow.
