Does Bitcoin have a Gender Gap Problem?

Ok, maybe I should change my answer a little.

Women are not so hardcore into computer games, which doesn't need high end GPU to play. base on my understanding, a lot people started mining with their current computer to test it before going big.

computing is not a male dominant field...

...but in actual workplace scenarios, women do dominate the computing market.

Do you know of any polls or studies done that support this? I'd be happy to know it's true but working in IT, it's not what I've personally seen.

Anyone has some real statistics on credit cards usage by gender?
I could only come up with 81% percent of men and 75% for women for US.

Look's like there's no gender gap; this is conclusive evidence

Here's the difference between men and women and the reason you see so few women involved with bitcoin.

#1: Men are curious. If there's a new technology, we take the time to figure it out and we form ambitious goals around it.
#2: One such goal is making money. In order to make money, we must take on risk (in this case, investing in a risky, volatile asset). Women tend to be risk-averse.

Once bitcoin becomes more user friendly and goes mainstream (if that happens) you'll see women using it, but don't count on them to ever figure it out and take any particular interest in it. That's just how our brains are wired. How many female mechanics do you see at the garage when you take your car in? Not sexist, it's just nature.
