Why aren't there more women in Bitcoin?

[laravuemaster]

i believe part of the reason could be that men tend to be more aggressive and women tend to be suppressed. there is also the notion that tech in general is a man's field and also safe spaces for women in the blockchain world have not been created. also there needs to be more role models so that other women can aspire to be like them.

I think that most of the womans does not really focus on bitcoins and they think of cryptocurrency as a pyramid scheme, in this way not that much woman will get interested and focus on other things. There is also a chance that most of the womans are focusing on taking care of their children and that is the reason why there are more men who are having a business related to bitcoins.

Because that is how it is. This forum is for everyone, thus bitcoin is for everyone it may seem that males are more knowledgable than females or should I say males are far more interested on doing this thing rather than females. Because there are no gatepass or requirements even existing on this for you to start, you only need to have a sense, perseverance, and most likely a hard work on doing this stuffs because this thing is not a joke for us to troll around.

We don't know who many women here, but majority of us here are man and it is not strange to know that. Since man, are more exposed in technology, whenever they have time they are searching for the update and news unlike women who are giving most of their time updating their status (not all). And most the women focuses if not in their career but in their home and children.

Agreed. It is unfortunately expected. I believe the reason is that they are not really used to take risks when it comes to finance. It is not specific to crypto currency world. If you analyze any other investment field I expect the same less women.

Crypto is everything that very few girls are able to handle, from all the uncertainty, risk, investments, numbers, "abstractness" of the blockchain and etc, we can get into a whole debate here about the ways our brains are constructed, but men handle risk, fear and the unknown in a different way.

It's environmental and physical factors that cater to the large discrepancy.

[Lingesh]

Gender doesn't matter, now a daysany womem know about  cryptocurrency. Many women also giving comment on bitcoin form.

[yogaantoni]

Because many women do not know about Bitcoin. Most women do not like long staring at computer screens, and others as men in their daily work, mostly staring at the computer and knowing Bitcoin technology that has now grown so that men will be more active follow the development of Bitcoin.

[mindfly09]

Because most women, maybe they have no idea and not enough knowledge in bitcoin or else they always busy to focus on their household work and care to their family, men are more interested on bitcoin than women. Men are always looking for opportunities for their family. But i think there are some women in bitcoin are active and trying their best. In reality men are provide income to the family due to bitcoin.

As George Bernard Shaw wrote:
"A reasonable person adapts to the world; unreasonable - persistently tries to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, progress always depends on unreasonable people. "
The search, motivation and development of those unreasonable people on whom any progress depends is the only way to bring the future closer.
Crypto-currencies and lock-ups are a young area with a lot of uncertainties. These uncertainties give rise to a large number of possibilities, but also endless disagreements. The woman's thinking activity is different from the male. A woman always seeks the golden mean, a man - achieves the goal, especially if it concerns technical innovations.

Probably has a LOT to do with men Being the natural bread/money provider in society.

[lani123lani]

most women may not be too interested in technology products
Because women tend not to understand what bitcoin is. most women are more active in household chores than online jobs

I am also very surprised to realize the marked absence of women in this area. However, this is not exclusive to the bitcoin ecosystem. Over the years I have been involved in multiple financial affairs or technology issues and in most of them the woman is practically absent. I do not think that this is about discrimination, but rather it seems that women have other vocational preferences, since in my country the nursing or psychology schools are filled mostly by women.

[SteinsGate]

Women are mostly in to things like fashion and looks so it is pretty rare to see them in forums making the population of men greater than women. Technically speaking, girls have the inner vibe to
have interest in their appearance rather than spending their hefty amount of time in doing forum chats and comments. I also think that most women are into apps like instagram and twitter, they are a bit simple and just want to have a space in social media by having their images and daily thoughts recorded. But men are different, most men are addicted to games and games leads to spending, so if spending is present men are more likely to be influenced by getting bitcoin. These explains the ratio of men and women in the world of bitcoin.

Maybe the business is always filled with man and because of that, the statistics is saying that there are more man that's related to cyrptocurrency. Cryptocurrency was mined through block chain and most of the programmers are man so most likely the statistics is true that more man are on the filed of cryptocurrency.

I think women are more active in their household work than online work. They find it boring . only few women are intereseted in bitcoin . men's are more active in online work. Women have more work in household and in office . they prefer office work than online work. But now a days women's are also showing interest in bitcoin sites.

More active in "household work?" Seriously? Well if you're getting women pregnant typically they will usually end up raising the children thus keeping them at home. Again different countries and different standards.

If you're a woman without children and without someone poking you with small fleshy objects you'll be able to focus on other things.

[hypersonic1]

I find that there are a decent amount of women in bitcoin, but often I feel many are raised to be attracted to things that provide familiarity and comfort. Bitcoin unless they accidentally early invested usually does not provide those things. It is a newer technology. until recently it wasn't the easiest thing to spend. It does not translate into a nice lifestyle in the same way regular fiat money does without technical knowledge. Many authority figures in their lives call Bitcoin a bubble and scam anyway. The list of reasons could go on to even involve the dating sphere and things like that.

Take a look around the crypto community, both in meatspace and online, and it would be fair to say that the majority of participants are male. This is borne out in a recent survey of 2,000 Americans which shed light on the makeup of the bitcoin space, highlighting a stark gender divide. In fact Google Analytics data estimates less than 4% of bitcoin users to be female. The question is, why?

I dont think if women interesting in this kind of work. because we know that only few used bitcoin as you say there are only 4% of bitcoin users in the world that female. i think because it is in online and they think it scam or just bored and we know that men was more got interesting in one thing if we have gain in it and we know that women was do shopping in one things before it they got interested. we male was more on the online and as an male i fond in this kind of work that female think it is boring.

Incorrect. I think care givers to children which tends to be primarily "woman" focused makes looking into other avenues of interest seem as less important. Small human (mammals) are the most dependent of any other species of mammal so women that bring life into the world are typically focused on that long term task. Men on the other hand are far more disconnected from this physically intensive setting so they're able to focus their interests on other pursuits. How man women are sitting on porn sites in the middle of a 4-9 month pregnancy? You'll be hard pressed to find a bunch of women raising their hands saying "I was" . How many men are sitting on a porn site waiting for their newborn to be born? You'll find that number to be rather high. The sexes will have different focuses based on their current life situation and also other factors like "expected" interests.

Maybe that is the point that women can never join bitcoin because they have many work in their life, but in my thought it will very good that women can join bitcoin because it will very helpful for them and that's why they will earn much more money for them self.

[BlueYozakuraBTC]

Women are here to tell their husbands not to invest. "It's to risky". Plus it's all part of the patriarchy's conspiracy to undermine women's rights and make sure they get paid less.

Why would a woman need to tell her husband anything? You do know there are women that are single and don't need the permission of a man to use her own money to buy btc or even altcoins. Again different countries and different standards of freedom for women that aren't within those countries.


Ohh and please you know how many men invested in BITCONNECT? Was it less of a burn because they have a third leg? I think not.

I'm a woman and I've been in BTC since 2010 and most MEN LAUGHED when I told them about it saying "oooh that's nothing you just don't know anything". Guess they're feeling like dumbasses this year.

[chaukhchi]

According to me, because Women are many other jobs that are very time-consuming, especially if the woman is married, and to my knowledge many men are very interested in the digital world / online and from the man can spend a very long time and for several months ahead I'm sure women will increasingly be interested in the crypto world, for example me.

[BlueYozakuraBTC]

because women prefer spending and spending money not hard to work and earn money, the internet for women just as entertainment so they pay less attention to the economic development especially in the field of digital money such as bitcoin and others

Internet is entertainment right because most dating sites have more men than women.

Cam sites and porn sites are filled with MEN. Seriously?
