Statistics: Geez, I thought there were more females in bitcoin community

[Ozero]

I am not surprised at this result of statistical studies. Cryptocurrency is actually one of the types of commercial activity, one of the types of business. Moreover, this type of business is completely new. Historically, the man was the earner in the family. Therefore, it is not surprising that cryptocurrency is dominated by men. In addition, women are more preoccupied with family problems and they do not have time and necessary opportunities to engage in cryptocurrency.

I am not surprised with the fact that there so less females as you can even see yourself on the forum that there are pretty less females around. The two things about which I am surprised after seeing these charts is that:

1. Proportion of persons 18-24 being so less: We all know that young people who are studying or just in job have more interest in technology and are more aware about recent changes over the web. But i think the non seriousness of such 90skids is the reason of this stats. The 25-34 age group seems so obvious. I thought 18-24 would be on number two.

2. Engagement stat of the age group of 45-54 is soo damn high. I thought people over 45 have a rigid mentality that nothing in this world can do anything to beat traditional governments and I don't blame them for this they have lived most of their life over this idea. So I always thought they might have just comprised of 3-4% of the whole community.

I was kinda expecting that there will be more women around age of 40+ though, or maybe the media kinda brought me into a mindset of a lot people tend to be known for being an investor late in their lives.
I assume that these would be women who tend to stay in their homes as a housewife to trade Bitcoin while their husband works outside, since it is kinda common thing for that to happen anyways in a family.

I am not surprised by this, not all women like too much technology I mean there are not focus on the growing technology but instead they are focus on entertainment, beauty and wellness and other stuff. Few of them are interested in this cryptocurrency because we are more practical I think? Though yes we have a time for beauty and wellness and entertainment but somehow we give more time in this community because we know that we can have a better future and money in here.

Does it matter? If women themselves do not want to trade cryptocurrencies, why force them?

[gentlemand]

There could be tons of them. If I were female why would I bother mentioning it?

I especially wouldn't make myself known here as I've seen some EXTREMELY strange reactions when someone outed themselves as one of those impossibly exotic creatures. I seem to remember a few posters demanding that they leave immediately.

I also enjoy the posts telling us that women are incapable of trading as they don't have the mental capacity and they can be taught about crypto by buying them kittens and shoes.

Indeed, most of the time, men are more attracted or somehow interested when it comes to technology, we find it fun to do things like this, while girls stay at doing girly things. There is nothing to be surprised for this result. And there is nothing to think about that, since we are here to support the community and not to find a woman to become our lovers.

The Bitcoin community is basically formed to share information about cryptocurrency, there are no rules to discuss
regarding gender issues. So actually there are many male or female members who don't want to have a problem. And if analyzed
again it is clear why women are not so interested in bitcoin. Women prefer to expose themselves,
so instead of joining this community women prefer to socialize on the facebook, instagram, youtube platforms, etc.
If men have a hunting instinct, in modern era not a hunted animal again but we man prefer hunting money. And here is a lot of info
on the forum to earn money. So men prefer to socialize in forums like this bitcointalk. That's a little opinion from me why
there are more men than women in the bitcoin community. So actually there is no need to look at statistical data, the answer is clear.

[bounceback]

if we look everywhere the bitcoin community we rarely see women there are only a few women than men because if we think women are better resting at home and cooking in the kitchen for the household rather than work, maybe if you want to see as many women as you can see on social media not in the bitcoin community.

exactly

it's well known that women discussing technical subjects on the internet are engaging with the subset of the male demographic that is least likely to handle female company gracefully. Tech women learned a long time ago simply to not mention they are female, as it doesn't add anything to the discussion, and is almost guaranteed to cause some problem/friction eventually.

What's the methodology behind this statistic? Does this come from some sort of scraping of public profiles or it was done via a survey? Also, what counts as Bitcoin community - this forum, reddit, twitter, all everything together? Without knowing how this research was conducted, it's hard to evaluate and criticize it, it could be accurate or could be completely off.

[ChrisPop]

This is pretty much my experience as well. I have met very little female crypto enthusiasts, but when you meet them they are really special persons. If you look on Twitter though, you will see a lot of girls posing as crypto lovers and posting sexy photos, etc. to market themselves and gain affiliates. Some of them are legitimate blockchain & cryptocurrency advocates, don't get me wrong. Regarding the age groups it makes sense that 25-34 are mostly interested in this space, as the really young generation 18-24 I noticed is kind of lazy and not interested in paradigm shifts of the society..

[febriyana]

I am new know the Bitcoin statistic is also with gender and age 
So if we see there is some Gap between Female and Male.
I think that is right because Female only small percentage like about technology.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_disparity_in_computing
There is example in programmer, only around 10% female.
But for age i think that is our mission to educate people with age around 18-24. Because in that age is young generation.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I'm not surprised by the data.  Most of the members on bitcointalk I'm even the least bit familiar with are male, and there have only been one or two who have stated that they're female, like this one I got a pm from a while back:

Digital smooches, I am impressed. Again. Lol

At least I *hope* Lorilikes was female, but you never know on the internet.  Many members here lie on their profiles so you can't really tell for sure what's what.

I don't think the lack of women in bitcoin has to do with the technology, though it could.  I believe it has more to do with the fundamental difference between the sexes as far as taking risks goes.  Bitcoin and crypto in general is very risky, and I can't imagine women being drawn to it in great numbers.  Maybe that will change over time.

[alexsandria]

I can say two things. First thing, this is just a survey. It is like a random sampling, which means only those people who had been survey and those who are willing to answer it are those who are in the graph. It means that it can alter the real numbers. Second thing, I don't think it is really important to have demographs here in crypto. Cryptocurrencies is for all.

[deadsilent]

I think girls are more involved mostly on social media not cryptocurrency. I just assumed it. But it's true that most of women used only social media like facebook, Instagram and etc. Girls use internet just for posting and entertainment. I guess. But look at this interesting study. The study shows that girls are the most active internet users than men. It's not related to cryptocurrency but this could be the reason why they are not aware of cryptocurrency.

[Kyraishi]

i dont think a lot of them can handle the risks involved

So they need to stay in the kitchen? Make food for the men? You sound extremely ignorant and stupid with this comment.

If we are looking at statistics, the main problem that we see here is that their are less women in the Finance industry and investment/trading industry then men, and obviously this would convert over to crypto-currencies. Nothing that surpising!

[khaled0111]

I am not sure how reliable thoses stats are! Hence can't make a proper conclusion.

What makes me believe those stats can't be correct is the fact that crypto enthusiast tend to hide their real identities and don't reveal their personal info like their gender.

[Broly46]

Your wrong I see more and more medium articles written by female author and they’re all for the crypto, and I enjoy reading all of them, you wouldn’t believe it until you get your reality checked. And Google analytics is simply a worse tool one can rely on for any serious research, I’d say they’re mostly exaggerated or simply underwhelming.

[mr3dds]

I think women don't have big interest in techy stuff in general. I nearly didn't came across any girls here. My be I saw one or two at btt.

Also, this generation is the generation of the whole crypto. older guys already passed this point.

I think these stats make sense.

[boltz]

Well at least now we're no longer 98% like the other years so I would consider this a good improvised statistic. Anyway in the next years there will be more females joining bitcoin as there are promos towards this matter ( Fiorentina Women's Futsal , Women's CEO's in projects , UNICEF joining bitcoin where there are a lot of females and so on).

Mostly this is not a bad sign but yea a little bit diversify would be nice to have, in this way we can spread Bitcoin and Blockchain to everyone, its our duty as a community to engage with everyone.
