How to motivate women to use Bitcoin?

[Goms]

how we could motivate women to use Bitcoin because I tried several times to explain what it is and how to use Bitcoin ...was very difficult and have not really managed only once ..

Well, if online stores starts receiving payments in bitcoins, a lot of women would be interested in bitcoins.

Yes if stores related to women products in particular start accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment,many women will get intrested.We can also organise some seminars in our locality exclusively for women to introduce bitcoins to them

I think the best way to motivate woment to use Bitcoin is just sending some amounts and tips in bitcoin to them as gifts and then explaining how it works this powerful crypto currency and what's its great features

Women in Bitcoin and Blockchain Tech — An Opportunity

Well done!  Good find.

It's no use, however.  I have posted lists of women in BTC on this thread, too.

These kids always ignore them & just keep on stereotyping.

This is why women are alienated from these forums.

BUILD a field of inclusiveness...."and they will come."

Most of the comments on threads like this one are not very helpful or welcoming to women, IMO.

It is and with big discount for using bitcoins, i'm sure a lot of women would be more interested using bitcoins and she will tell their friends from mouth to mouth and makes bitcoins more popular.

Yes any way in order to make a woman using bitcoin you still have to explain first Daulu about bitcoin to women. If it were so sure they would use bitcoin, and bitcoin will discuss word of mouth.

I give up.

No one here is reading SH!T!

It's all about spammy sig lines.

Lol. These are common in this forum especially to the signature spammer, but I did read the article suggested by LitecoinGuy. You can report posts that break the forum rules especially rule 1 and rule 2.
Also, it's good to know that there are so many women hold a high position in both the Bitcoin and Blockchain technology community. I hope there will be more women participate the Bitcoin and Blockchain technology community over time.

Well, from a recent thread, Satoshi could actually be a female! If we discover this to be true, i think that would draw the attention of more women users.

Unfortunately I think you are right, this is more of a postfest vs read good content situation.
Is anyone actually clicking on the sig lines? Seems kind of like wallpaper at this point.

Actually women will learn and find out about bitcoin by herself if she find a big discount by buying with bitcoin for the payment. And we can help her, it's same like motivate though.

You are probably right,, but it would be too hard, Satoshi is very good in hiding him/herself...But I think instead of thinking about satoshi, lets just think about those successful ladies on bitcoin world on the above list..They maybe a very good example to told women about bitcoin..

Yes true there are many women who are successful in bitcoin and I was amazed by it. I also want to be successful but it is very difficult dibitcoin takes patience and perseverance. They are incredible ladies in my opinion.

I think it's not about hiding himself/herself. But he want people not know him/her. And i thik Satoshi is a man not a woman. But if satoshi is a woman, i'm sure it will motivate women.

I said to my girlfriend to go to amazon shop and buy something with Bitcoin and then she trying to buy some nice shoes.

Girls like to waste money no matter bitcoin or dollars/cash. The main motivation is amount of money. It's not only about womens, everybody loves money and also everybody loves waste money.

That's just a stereotype and is like saying all men are testosterone idiots IMO, There are females than are interested in computer but they are just a minority, I think just reaching the public would reach women as well.

[simonloff]

You would need to find things they find interesting and link it to bitcoins, I don't think it's different than encouraging males not knowing bitcoin to it, I already tried with a friend playing online games and how she can buy upgrades with bitcoin and I think she found that interesting just by how I introduced it.
