Why the hell should we care about women in bitcoin space?

[cuddaloreappu]

I am tired and annoyed of reading articles telling there is no women in bitcoin space..

Why are people writing articles like this?

if women are busy watching tv  let them watch..

Are we all feminist? 

Those who have what it takes to be involved in bitcoin, do get involved like Blyth masters, and do we complain about that?

are women going to solve the blocksize debate?

are they going to take bitcoin mainstream?

Yeah.  They are over thinking the issue...  Or just fanning the flames.  The media loves doing that.  I suggest ignoring it.

But whatever brings Bitcoin some attention is good if you think about it.

Females represent approximately 50% of the global population. Sure would increase the chances of mainstream adoption if a good chunk of them were "into it".

That pretty much is the reason right there.
Remember GEMZ? The mobile messenger that rewards users for using it with "Gemz". http://getgems.org/
It was really marketed toward female instant message users on iphones and etc, since they tend to use messaging apps more then men.
Currently Gemz going rate is around 6000 sat, which I don't know if is good or bad. (Not following it).
It was an interesting idea, to introduce women into the crypto world, but my understanding is it didn't really work.

All the articles are not about getting women into bitcoin, they are more about the male domitation in the bitcoin world. Women who want to get involve will get involved but feminists don't care that. In fact, it is a good thing for them because in that way they can continue saying that the patriachy enforce the male-dominated bitcoin community. Because young white men blah blah blah (I am sure most of us are not white man- I am latin).

Victimization 101. That is about.

Why the hell should we care about gender in bitcoin?

[Amph]

well they are about more then men, like 55% of the entire population is women, so it's not about the gender, but about numbers and adoption

[EternalWingsofGod]

In a sense the media is just trying to poke at bitcoin.

It is important to have women participate in the Bitcoin space just to have an increased userbase not as a pro equality policy though.
That said gender issues are less of a concern than having products and services that can attract male and female users to the ecosystem.
(I guess to be a bit bias we need more shoe stores clothing stores perfume/makeup services and spas taking Bitcoin to attract female users and make them feel fantastic by adding a discount package to it)

Got to attract them and leech them in efficently so they can't just let it go once they get started, aka get them addicted to it and we will see strong female adoption  .

Well the easy answer to the question posted by the OP, should be :

1. We should care, because women make up approximately half of the population of this earth. { http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sex_ratio }

2. We should care, because most of them are mothers, wives and daughters. {We do love them}

3. If they are excluded, shills will have more ammunition to spread FUD like this.

There you have it.... chew on that... and start to care.

Ps : Is this true..No... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uExxp0ND7mY

[Miracal]

Yes, we should care the women, who take up half percent of our population. If one day bitcoin goes to mainstream, most of the women will adopt bitcoin as well. The problems we are facing now is that women are not tech geeks and aren't interested at it. They want somethings easy to use.

Are we all feminist? 

You should be

why the hell should we care about women in bitcoin space?

They account for half of humanity, that's why

[Sarthak]

Why should we care? We shouldn't! Who said we should?

I haven't seen any posts complaining there is no women in Bitcoin space but I have seen 2 posts saying "Am I the only girl here?"

[amiryaqot]

Why the hell should we care about gender in bitcoin?

well that is good question gender is not important in bitcoin, the most important thing is it's adoption and who is doing best role for it.
Bitcoin is not a gender currency but it is for all gender. we all have to work together about it's adoption and raise the public awareness about bitcoin.

[NyeFe]

Well this should pretty much answer the question for the lack of females in Bitcoin and everything science, which was also aired on BBC

Satoshi didnt create bitcoin to be used for only man , but he created it in hope that it will become a worldwide decentralized currency which means it is a mass adoption usage by every people. So there is none to debate about this as if more women use it, it will be easier for bitcoin to be used by mass .

I guess since half of society is females its prety important for the overall balance of things.  Bitcoin is for the people right so everyone should be enjoying the design.  Its smart business sense to try and network.

People who are interested in Bitcoin should get involved with Bitcoin.  People who are not interested - should not.  It doesn't really matter what kind of junk you have between your legs. 

Why are we always trying to get woman advanced up by artificial means?  If women bring cool things, they will go up.  If not, then not.  Holding a cheerleading effort to say: 'Yeah women - go bitcoin' - is just silly and won't do anything to actually get women to participate in the development of crypto.

[jacktheking]

Bitcoin aim to become a universal currency. Everyone have to use it, not being stereotype but.. Bitcoin aim to be used by both females and males around the world. I also believe that there is already lot of females using Bitcoin.

[cuddaloreappu]

Lets just be clear!

its not about women using bitcoin,

 but rather worrying about women not being there in the developmental and business space regarding bitcoin...

[Elwar]

Collectivism. That's all it is.

It is about taking away the idea that we are individuals, but instead that we belong to some sort of "group". It serves the author's agenda to make people think of themselves as a collective. As long as they can put themselves into a high position among the collective by creating articles that bash those outside of the collective. Same thing is done with race, sexual preference, wealth, etc.
