Why do males make up 97% of the Bitcoin community?

[sweetbet]

I'm guessing that it has something to do with risk taking behavior. Males are much more likely to take risks than females, from running across a busy street to sky diving, and crypto trading is very risky business. So it probably appeals more to males than females. That's my theory anyway

The main problem is that women don't really understand Bitcoin. It was made by men for men. Women can still use it to buy things like shoes, handbags and items for washing dishes and cleaning however, so they are not left out.

Apparently there's nothing which should stop women from becoming a part of bitcoin community, it's just that they may either have not heard about it or we need to explain bitcoin to them in much more details. Besides all that I guess the percentage of women engaged in any sort of online money making activity is also less than that of men and I think if that percentage increases then the percentage of women becoming part of bitcoin community will increase too. So basically it's not just bitcoin which has more number of men involved into but it's all the other online money making activities also.

Maybe ladies not interested to hi-tech think, just my opinion..
They too busy dealing with women's stuff..IMHO

Computer nerdery, internet nastiness, taking insane risks. All classically male domains.

Equally I find all the articles demanding women be accommodated rather pathetic. It's all there waiting for them if they're interested enough.

I find it pretty comical the reactions self declared females get on here sometimes. I think there may be rather a lot of fellas with a few issues when it comes to the opposite sex.

Don't forget kittens. Womenz likes kittens. When I have a woman and I want to do man things like have conversations about facts and things, I give it a kitten to coo over and then find a man to talk to. The kitten usually keeps it happy for 24 hours but I have to leave it instructions not to cuddle it to death. A couple of powerful slaps usually sends the message over.

You are being funny I guess but the assumption is totally wrong. I have seen many ladies showing interest in the corporate world who are active on blockchain and Bitcoins. The statistics may vary from 75-80% which is still high for men.

In my opinion, men are more likely to know technology than women, they know more about technology and know more about it than women, so men make up 97% of the bitcoin community is not surprised.

how they can collect the data? i am not sure that the percentage is up to 97% because how did coin.dance really know which user is male or female?  beside that, when user want to used the wallet, they don't have to fill their personal identification except in the exchanges. but i think maybe male can so easy to get many info about bitcoin so bitcoin community dominated by males.

Maybe they got the data from various exchanges that require an ID card to be approved to start their trade. But, frankly speaking the males "dominate" the bitcoin community is a really normal thing seeing from how much females actually get interested to some kind of technologies, it's just the same as game community and such that have low amount of female.

girls like to spend money and not generate it, also most women are not into computers

[Labumi]

I do not know it is the problem of this thread. Where if we see from all the things that concerned about finding the money for sufficient life, it can be ascertained that the man is doing it all. Because men are the head of the family, indeed women have the same rights to get a feel for what is done by the male in the job. But that's all it is less fun, because women's labour is very gentle.

The reason basically is psychological. And if you compare men to women, men are more risk takers and gamblers compared to women. Women does not concern on things that they are not sure of they prefer that which is physical, can be touched. Since males are risk takers they are prone to be attracted to invest on bitcoins and to gamble online. Women are not risk takers they prefer to search beauty products, wellness and fitness, accessories, fashion and trends online. Another thing is that men are very keen on looking at the technicals and details of the operation which is observable on cryptocurrency. Women does not really care about the technicals but how a thing looks.

This is really an interesting question, it is a fact that always exists in this forum, but it is not noticeable. In my opinion, because women are less researching and learning, they are not looking for things that are not popular in society.

[SvenBomvolen]

Wy wife is the only female I know which is in all that bitcoin community. I think girl more sceptical about all this and they don't have a wish to become rich fast and easy, they more dream about to become beautiful (or more beautiful) fast and easy hahaha

How can they confirm this when Bitcoin's supposed to be anonymous? I mean you can't trace back to who made the transaction right? So how can this even be accurate? I NEED STATS

Wow, this information really made me feel surprised, I never thought that the difference between men and women was too big. We often do not pay attention to it, but look, they do not like to explore and learn as we do, but they always demand equality.

[jekjekman]

If this is so true that female only represent that 3% then maybe they are more skeptical than men or they are not that technical type of human beings.
Because we all know that the human nature of men are to do more adventurous things in life more than women does, and I think women thing the Bitcoin thing is a men's work, lol.

Plus how come they came up with this percentage? do they know the real numbers of Bitcoin users?

[nejibens]

I think women still think Bitcoin is too complicated to deal with it, and though most of them don't use it, and using fiat and cash which is simpler for them. In addition perhaps ladies fear taking the risk with the crypto currencies as the price go up and drop down.

[FandangledGizmo]

It's <97% imo but basically any activity that involves elevated levels of risk attracts males, predominantly younger males and they also have more successful outcomes.

As a survival mechanism humans have developed risk aversion. It's shown that 'X' loss is twice as painful as 'X' gain is pleasurable.

Risk aversion is counteracted with testosterone.

Trading floors for example are predominately male and despite the high & lucrative incomes, predominantly young males, (testosterone drops rapidly from late thirties onwards) indicating testosterone trumps experience.

Studies have also shown male traders with physical markers indicating high levels of testerone in utero earn 1100% more than traders who received the lowest levels of testosterone.

So Bitcoin or any other volatile/risky instrument will attract mostly males and they will be more successful with it.

[machinek20]

Because males are more curious about technology things, and male is more attracted on how to make more money, because it is male job to provide for family, and female are not really attracted to bitcoin
