There are a lot of women in bitcoin now. But you won't see them here with the misogynistic nutaratti.
Thread has been won. Good game, gentlemen.

There are no checks (Australian greetings?) in the Bitcoin protocols that only allow men to use Bitcoin. As Satoshi is a woman, that would make no sense. How would she build, test, implement and use Bitcoin if she added such checks?
In that case, woman are free to use and be involved with Bitcoin as they see fit.
So really, who cares who cares?

I am tired and annoyed of reading articles telling there is no women in bitcoin space..
Why are people writing articles like this?
Part of it is just the media's desire to produce profitable 'outrage porn' for the Facebooking lumpenbourgeoisie's conspicuous consumption. But the larger story is that Bitcoin technology is the ultimate threat to the statists. They need to find reasons to make us look guilty of something, so the Nanny State can justify its existence.

I read this misogynistic filth outloud to my girlfriend, and she said if she ever met you in real life she'd be more than happy to break your ignorant face. BTW women control less than 20% of the world's capital. They do produce most of the world's food though, and all the children.

Women are among the biggest group of spenders and potentially the one that would accept bitcoin and bring it to mainstream adoption. Too bad bitcoin has not yet been really successfully in the retail section. Imagine swiping the phone to pay for the designer clothes and you are good on the go.

Well if we want bitcoin to be taken seriously and not be viewed as the exclusive domain of libertarian-leaning, male, neckbeards then we should care about women in the bitcoin space. I just don't understand why any bitcoin owner would be angry at any effort to bring more people into the fold. Isn't that the best way to increase the value of your coin?

Women who matter influence men who matter and I can assure you it is FAR over 50% of the worlds capital. Yes they do birth 100% of the children too. Very observant of you. PS: I'd kick your gf's ass. Tell her I expect her to be the first sign up for Co-ed boxing

Well if we want bitcoin the internet to be taken seriously and not be viewed as the exclusive domain of libertarian-leaning, male, neckbeards then we should care about women in the bitcoin internet space. I just don't understand why any bitcoin internet site owner would be angry at any effort to bring more people into the fold. Isn't that the best way to increase the value of your coin internets?
Fixed your statement for 90s nostalgia value. Change "the internet" to "BBS" or "Usenet" for an 80s look. Use "CB/ham radio" for 70s style. This stupid argument never goes away, because stupid people always find a way to make it current and updated with the latest innovative man-fad. The "anger" is actually resentment of the idea we should feel guilty about a particular demographic skew, loathe ourselves for it, and patronize the underrepresented with pleadings/incentives for them to join us (as if they are absent external assistance too inferior to figure it out). Lowered expectations are a form of soft bigotry, and you're soaking in them.

We should care about women in bitcoin space just imagine women's population is say approximately 45 to 50% in the world and if women start adopting bitcoins and its gonna be great deal. And just imagine about the bitcoin community..its gonna go long way..mainly they will use bitcoins in buying designer clothes

Let them be, where they intend to be. We don't need to drag them. If they decide to join the community then good, but if they do not, that's entirely upto them. So we don't need to make a huge fuss about this.

singling out women not participating in the bitcoin space is stupid because the real problem isn't that women aren't participating in bitcoin; it's that PEOPLE are not participating in bitcoin.
Bitcoin is not "white males". It's a very, very, very small subset of "white males", along with a smattering of other racial/sex composition.
Of course "women" are not participating, when in reality, only a very small amount of PEOPLE are participating in this in the first place.
These people act high and mighty, as if they're doing something righteous by bringing "women" into everything, when in fact, it's extremely hypocritical because they're the ones that are separating "women" from the rest of society, not anyone else. Why aren't they complaining that bakers aren't using bitcoin? Or Chefs? Or accountants? It's extremely damaging to both women, and the thing these hypocrites against, which, in this case, is bitcoin.
@Joe B: Sorry. I thought you were one of those self-righteous idiots, but your post this page shows that you are simply delusional.

Gender will not make any difference in Bitcoin community Women have their own stuff and they wont show their interest in bitcoins as they have many other areas for interest like watching tv shopping etc so if they are getting all these without bitcoins why should they get involved in bitcoins??

If this thread is representative of the Bitcoin community at large, it's no wonder women don't want anything to do with it.

Participation of women in bitcoin can make a huge difference to bitcoin community. As they are very much interested in shopping so they can take bitcoins positively and start investing and adopting it i hope their husbands would be really happy if these womens become independent when it comes to shopping

Pitty them, none of these guys have had a relationship with a women. And the future is not looking bright. I think I'll do something. Today I am going to recruit a few women to use bitcoin. I am going to give away $10 in BTC to ten women. All they have to do is use it. Spend it, donate it, whatever. Since I am aware that all you guys will turn into women for $10 I'll do it in real life.

There are many reasons woman make up less than 10% of Bitcoin users:
1) They tend to be Risk Averse and bitcoin is still very risky 2) Technology, programming and Cryptography is dominated by males (women tend not to be interested in these fields ) 3) Forex, currency trading and speculative investing is male dominated (Women tend not to be interested and are likely risk averse) 4) Bitcoin has libertarian and an-cap roots which is also male dominated (likely risk aversion and state dependency or inclination to collectivist philosophy plays a role)
We should care about the lack of women in our ecosystem as they constitute half the human population.
These aren't merely problems that can be solved with marketing to women or not being "mean on the internet". We can change these statistics a bit with some clever marketing or a "wallet" designed for women but bitcoin will likely remain male dominated.
I suggest we work on this disparity but lets be realistic as well and acknowledge that it will remain male dominated for some time in the future.
Our best bet is getting them involved in bitcoin with a killer app that doesn't involve any of the math , cryptography , political theory , of disinflationary currency directly but uses bitcoin without the user being aware. I.E... a innovative social networking app that allows women to use the blockchain and leverage its advantages.
