Why We Need Women In Blockchain

There is no balance between the number of men and women in this field
Very few women in this area.
But they had a big role in investing.
This role is constantly evolving.

the female potential in Blockchain is huge! maybe there is no balance yet but more and more women in the space do awesome stuff. I don't see the direct relationship of "blockchain help gender equality", but I know, I'm sure, that blockchain has space for women 

[okala]

Gender has inequality have been a contending issue even outside blockchain most time both male and females have segregate them self's to some activities and making it one gender job, and the blockchain has witness minimal involvement of woman why it so I can't even answer may be because of the high risk involved in cryptocurrency related activities because woman lack that confidence to take risk but men are more of risk taker's.

....woman lack that confidence to take risk but men are more of risk taker's.

Women perhaps may by nature not take stupid risks that men take.

Of course that disproves the PC concept of "gender equality."

[Ezenwanyi1]

Some one just said on the thread that the reason why there are few women in cryptocurrency is because"they lack the confidence to take risk" .
I want to respectfully disagree to that statement.
There's no one who takes risk the way a woman does.
What is more riskier to pushing out a baby through a small hole.
There are women in cryptocurrency , it's just that they are not that Loud.

We never know how much of women involved in blockchain developement,if you think less women are there in this field just based on attending a conference then it is kind of stupidity as well.Might be less women in this field but they do have same amout of skills as men do,there is no gender here.

[Odessit_ya]

Women are more pragmatic and not as prone to risk as the male half. A different point of view that differs from the male will always benefit.
P.S. a woman needs a man everywhere ...

A reminder of what is the ultimate objective of the OP is.


At a recent Blockchain conference, a panel of women was at a loss for an answer to the question, how can blockchain help gender equality? The question and the answers, or non-answers the panellist gave, made me, an old ‘analogue’ feminist, realise that there is a dire need to raise awareness of the problem of gender inequality in the blockchain and crypto space.

Working for SwissBorg, a crypto wealth management platform on the Blockchain, I realised after researching the subject, attending conferences & meetups, and talking to colleagues, that the paucity of women in the field is so obvious it is worrisome. Women account for only around 5% in the crypto space and/or market. Oct. 2017, a survey conducted by Reddit user loveYouEth, found that 96% of Ether users are men, and MyEtherWallet reported that 84% of their wallet holders were male. So the need to raise our numbers is necessary not just for women but for the space as a whole. In order to do so, we have to start with some old-fashioned networking and gathering. Strength is in numbers and only when we come together can we be counted.


Search P&S for: Gamergate. We need to learn how to detect the spread of that virus called intersectionality, and destroy it with radiation early on. This is not about video games or crypto. This is a cancer.

Being online, it can be much easier to avoid even identifying your gender and it sort of becomes irrelevant. There aren't any obstacles that I can see that stop women from setting up cryptocurrency related companies and that is how it should be. There does seem to be a trend towards "geek is cool" at the moment, which can only help to break down barriers.

If you listen carefully you'll catch the joke..."I'm so glad you share mine with me."

These women saw the vision and ran with it. Many, many others.

I think women in general bring a lot to blockchain and crypto. not only does it make sense in a fair and equal world but women also have a bigger picture view everything from process to outcome. UX. partnerships.

[erikalui]

I don't even know why such a question was even asked? What does gender have to do with blockchain? And how can it even help gender equality? It's not sexist.

Because, wait for it, it has nothing to do with gender equality and everything to do with intersectionality. Once you do your homework on the subject you'll understand why such creature will ask a panel with women on it how come they don't exist.

Should more women from Iran, S.A, Venezuela, etc, etc have more access to cryptos? This is not the question asked. The question seem irrational until you understand the real motivation.

The good news is they are not into making babies, so in the short to long run they + their ideas will be Thanos'd...

I wish I could dish out merit like candy. So many good answers on this thread.

The only reason there is gender inequality in the blockchain is because women CHOOSE not to be interested in it. You know how many times I've tried getting my wife into my techy stuff only to be patted on the head and told, "That's nice dear" as she goes away to get on with the stuff she enjoys doing? Countless times.

This feminist bollox is cancer.

Damn, in the few discords I am in do you know how many men would give their right nuts to see a few more women in our community? There you go

The danger is to look at this SJW pandemic and seeking answers from an engineer's rational brain. This is a political move on our crypto chess game. The goal is control, not logic, not giving power back to the people away from the banksters.

To be be clear: this SJW plague is not feminism. Just cancer. Get Woke! Go Broke!

What would be the difference if we have more women in blockchain?
I don't think that it would really matter if the blockchain user is a women or men ?
Are there any specially features that would only be shown to women or men?

I think you nailed it there. The difference being that it doesn't matter. If women choose to be in the blockchain then they are free to do so at their perusal.

This is nothing more than politically motivated identitarian bollocks sold to us under the guise of equality.

Like the guy who quoted me earlier. It's not about men and women, rationale or logic, it's about power.
