So i'm kind of wondering why it seems like there aren't many girls who are a part of the crypto community. So me personally, (yes I am a female) I got pushed into crypto by accident and I never ever would have investigated it on my own if it didn't fall into my lap. I'm very interested in bringing more women into the crypto community, 1. because I think its a worthy cause and 2. it can only help make crypto mainstream. Most of my girlfriends say "It sounds really complicated" and "it's not really my thing." What barriers do you see to women becoming involved in the crypto community? I want to hear your ideas, so I can start making a plan to break down those barriers. I want to hear both from my ladies out there, and from men too! What would you like to see done to bring more women into crypto? A youtube channel? More women-only forums and chats? What else? Lets take the first step and have a conversation Thanks <3

They are not able to understand things like crypto. They just want to make cookies and stuff like that.

I think this is an awesome idea.
I think that it can feel intimidating when you're a newbie and a girl... It's easy to feel like the "dumb blonde" especially when there are PIGS like the guy posting before me. He may be the problem we need to fix.
That and also it would be helpful to see more experts and vloggers on youtube who are ladies. If people stop thinking it's a boys game, it'll stop being a boys game.
Idk if it would be demeaning, but it could be cool to see "guides for girls" and more girl chats.
Love this post anyway...

yah as a girl and new to crypto... it def helps to know that at least i'm not the only one! I wish there was more youtubers. I agree we need to pull more girls into crypto and make it less scary lol. yeah that creepy guy with the rude comment is not helping anything. I wonder if he knows he's creepy or he thinks hes a good guy ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Hey
I think it's a really nice idea. if u ask me the easiest way to introduce someone to the crypto world is through Youtube videos. if I were u I would find a few nice, funny not too complicated videos to show my friends so it wont be too "scary" also from my experience opening a WhatsApp group or any other group for support and exchanging ideas helps, kind of like this forum only smaller scale and there for maybe less intimidating at first with less people and more familiar faces.
hope it helped a little good luck

Well, the honest answer to your question is simple, "They aren't business minded and aren't aware about cryptos in general." It is no doubt that most of the girls are the spenders rather than savers and they mostly spend their money on things like cosmetics, jewelry, and clothes rather than on things like cryptos, stocks, or bonds.
But, I am very sure that there might be some girls who are parts of the crypto-world, but again no one really knows about them because they tend to hide their gender and focus on benefits of cryptos.

Not so long ago I saw a token called "Love". I think they are on the right track. You can also create a crypto currency with bows and sequins. But why, everyone does what he likes. Why does no one want to involve men in make-up or depilation?

Every woman were very important in our society and we can't blame them if don't want to become a part of our forum,they are the one who looks after their children,their family members i guess we must understand them in their busy life.

Maybe it's because of the rampant sexism that apparently exists in the community. To answer the question fully, you would also need to address why there are proportionally less women in IT and computing in general.

As far as i know it is a open platform and no one is stopping anyone in anything. So what barriers are you talking about, it is all about whether you are interested in it or not. I never thought about a gender race nor i do not know what share of people are here in this platform on both sides. Maybe it's because of the rampant sexism that apparently exists in the community. To answer the question fully, you would also need to address why there are proportionally less women in IT and computing in general.
Do you have any idea what you are talking about, i am in the technology field and i have equal proportion of both genders in my work place and i never found any sexism in this forum in my time here.

Girls are taking part in all kind of activities like men. So they also can involve them in crypto market. Girls with having good analytical ability and financial knowledge can do better in this sector. Though they are bit back stepped to take risks than men.

Women occupy only around 25% of computing jobs. At Google, women hold only 17% of their tech jobs. At Facebook, 15%. At Twitter, 10%. and i never found any sexism in this forum in my time here Did you even read this thread? There are multiple comments saying women are too stupid to understand crypto and they are only interested in make up and baking. What is that if not sexism?

There are a lot of women who are investing, trading in cryptocurrencies world. For instance, My fience is really interested in bitcoin and any other coins. She loves this kind of stuff. According to me, Not all women are born to make cookies or clean houses etc.

I'm not really sure if I personally see any barriers that are holding women back from joining the crypto community. For the most part, I think that our community is pretty welcoming to all people, so maybe it's just that cryptocurrency doesn't really appeal to to women?
That said, I have a couple of female friends that are actively investing in crypto, so I don't think it's right to over-generalize too much...
The best thing you could do is just try to involve more of your friends, let them know what's interesting about crypto for you. I'm also not a big fan of women-only or men-only channels, people of all gender/sex/orientation are welcome in the mainstream crypto channels anyway.

Women like Ada Lovelace, born in 1851. A woman ahead of her time, she envisioned a computer being able to produce words, pictures, music, and of course, numbers, very much like what we know today.

Good initiative. I appreciate you. I think there are some girls here too. May be they are not that much vocal. I believe, the scenario will change with little help. Keep doing good things. Good luck.
