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

[Zemangat]

A man later was required to be the head of the household.
Men should be able to provide for their wives and children and even other family members.
But it's not just that a man has to work hard.
Men are not only required to work hard when they are married. They will find ways to make money. Men also tend to like electronic tools such as laptob and so forth. They may know other people who happen to know bitcoin so choose to work online with bitcoin. While women only take care of the house and their children

According to the website https://coin.dance/stats males make up 97% of the Bitcoin community. Why is the Bitcoin community dominated by guys?

Perhaps this data is accurate. While in fact, I tried to investigate how many women know Bitcoin and the answer is no woman knows it. Is not Bitcoin really popular or is it because women are not interested in virtual currency?

How many women did you interviewed? May I know? Well here in my country more men are into bitcoin than women like 2 out of 10.
Maybe men are more into the technology like there were are more expose in the internet like for a whole day and women are preferred to do something that can interest them.

Patriarchy tells women they belong in the kitchen.

[LouVandetta]

It might be because women doesn't have any interest in bitcoin at all.
And they don't believe on a job [money making] such as bitcoin.

But it's not 100% right?
Nowadays there's lots of career women, and they may be knows about bitcoin.
But they didn't know how bitcoin works.

[doomloop]

It is really hard to say that there are only 3% of female population in bitcoin industry. Maybe if we do talk about females population in this forum that might be pretty accurate or less

well! That’s really sad to hear that the women community is very less in bitcoin users and its not good for bitcoin as well because women is now working in each and every field and she can do everything that a man does so I think women should also contribute in bitcoin popularity.

[An1ks]

Technology, women always are behind it. In future situation will be changed. But for now, it is "programmer" thing for them.

[Anarchist]

I bet the stats come Google Analytics. So in this case you can say it is totaly unreliable. I don't know about Bitcoin but I can tell you in the Blockchain there are lot of females. Sometimes I g to meet up and there are 50/50 male female.

Power to females

Not this meme again

You can see with basically all events through history, women are typically following men that they trust or they are being pioneers in a field after it is somewhat established, as Bitcoin is right now, or you get the 1% where you have a woman, such as Marrie Currie, participate more actively in the actual development of something new and interesting. The Bitcoin community being composed of 97%, even 85%, males is no surprise.

[Barcode_]

I don't think the data that the site collected are accurate enough to confirmed that the bitcoin community consist of 97% males users, bitcoin users doesn't need to provide any identity verification for setting up a bitcoin wallet, so it is really hard to gauge how much percentage of users are males or females in the whole bitcoin community.

[virasog]

I'm female. Only rec ntly discovered crypto currencies. I'm blown away them. My nephew told me about bitcoin when it was four pounds each. I wish I had listen d more closely. But I guess better late than never. I just thought of I as a fad. That would fizzle out. You could even mine bitcoin back then.

Yes, i also think that female are actively involve in bitcoin community but they do not disclose themselves. Thats one of the reason i think, people think bitcoin is a male dormant community while the fact is many females do not disclose them. I do not say that  female male ratio is  50 50 but it can be 60 to 40 ratio between men and women.

I don't think that this date is actually correct, couse btc provides anonymity, so we can't say for sure.

[michaelmoore1867]

The first news I have about this, and I would not know to really explain it, is a subject of study

[Przemax]

There are many factors why that could be the case, that the women in bitcoin society are only represented in 3%.

1. First of all. The reason to use bitcoin is mainly political. Women does not like to talk about politics as it is most of the time agressive and lead to argues.

2. Bitcoin is not a socialy acceptable. Women are more social creature than men, and most of them would not be interested in things that majority of population is not interested in.

3. Investing in bitcoin could lead to danger, and women are more prone to avoid the danger.

I agree.I must admit males are more dominant than females here in the bitcoin community but i don't think that data is precise.I guess lot of females also are actively participated here so i don't think that's only 3% for female users.

Patriarchy tells women they belong in the kitchen.

What country you are from  this is 2017 and we are talking about women belonging in the kitchen,it all depends upon how much interest you have to a particular thing,may the most of the women does not find the bitcoin community fascinating but i am sure there are more women in the bitcoin platform.

According to the website https://coin.dance/stats males make up 97% of the Bitcoin community. Why is the Bitcoin community dominated by guys?

I don't really think that it is true ,
how could it happen that bitcoin is being used world wide and only 3% of its user is a woman or a girl,
And also the bitcoin was made to hide the information of its user or to send it anonymously how could they know the gender of the user's,
They couldn't really calculate it since there are plenty of bitcoin wallets out there.

I quite agree with that study because even in my immediate environment, the ones who knows about bitcoin mostly guys and I have only met a lady who knows little about it compared to the amount of guys I have met. Aside that again, when it comes to bitcoin community large percentage is coming from gambling in which the majority of the people there, are equally guys simply because ladies by default are reserved compared to guys.

Yeah there are huge amount of guy's who are using it but we can't really say that it is only 3% of who are currently using it is a lady,
Like what I have said earlier we can't really count the percent of it since there are plenty of bitcoin wallet or if you are going to use the number of bitcoin gamblers there are also lot's of website that they could play.
And we can't really tell what's the gender of the other gamblers are because we could only see their IGN or in game name.

[Bezobraznike]

I don't think it's 50/50 as some of guys said, but I think the percent of ladies here is something close to you say. I was reading some previous comments in this thread and noticed only few girls, so, among all this comments it is exactly like 2%, simple calculation which is telling us that the author is right.

Most women are risk-averse and like what they perceive to be "sure things."

I couldn't agree , I think the men are risk takers naturally and given the volatile nature of Bitcoin it makes sense that just a few women will risk investing in it but the men are generally going for it whether or not it's a good investment.

[bs.glory]

That 97% completes the study that males are required to fulfill fathers duty or task which informs us that male is the one who's responsible to work and earn moneys. I do believe that males satisfy all the campaigns requirements being a risker and fulfills ones duty.
