Why women are the minority in crypto land?

[Scarlett7777]

I think that having women in cryptocurrency can make male traders interested in projects that are being developed because I think there are many women who have participated in project-based cryptocurrency offerings such as ICOs, IEOs and others.

I don’t agree, because the blockchain and the entertainment industry are still fundamentally different. I have been in this industry for more than 3 years. I have participated in many project receptions. Whether traders are active or not depends on this product. I see more Most of them are people's obsession with technology and their love for the industry. They don't seem to be too sensitive to gender. Of course, I saw that some project parties invited some bikini ladies on site when they were at the ico. I think they are very vulgar and even more incomprehensible. These long-legged beauties don’t know what the blockchain is. I don’t think this is the right zone. Respect of the blockchain.

Well somehow they can still work together to become one though. I recall that there are even blockchain games existing around here and I quite recall it being discussed in here.
About the gender thing, I just personally think that when it comes to these techy stuffs. I just think that women aren't up to it. It quite sometimes being perceived as "nerdy stuffs".

Not only in crypto, but if you look financial universe in general you will see there are very few women compared to the number of men involved on this kind of activity. I believe it's just part of women nature to not have interest for these things. Usually women prefer to engage in another kinds of activity like cookery, decoration, aesthetic...
Of course there are exceptions and there is nothing wrong with them, but that is inevitably the main rule that many people avoid saying in public nowadays fearing retaliations from the modern demagogic society.

Yes, but there are quite a lot of career women out there who still choose to work and choose activities such as cooking as a sideline. when it comes to crypto, I just feel that many don't know how to find crypto apart from trading, or something else. maybe, if they know and understand how to earn crypto with little risk, I think they will start learning about this.

I feel like the career women just do not prefer the financial world because they already carved a new thing for themselves and do not need to be 1 in 10 women in another field. Look at the marketing world, if you go to any marketing agency and check the numbers you will see that its mainly women that works there, or look at cafe business you will see that there are a lot of women working there (not just waitress but also owners too) or look at literature business you will see that there are a lot of women there too.

In the end they created their own sector and got into that, and since women were not commonly working 50+ years ago they had to start somewhere they all stick together and build a strong network in certain sectors, finance and crypto never became one, because they rather work with other women then become minority in men's world. Which I totally understand, I would prefer that as well if I were them.

[Surmount]

I don't think so, there are also many women who understand crypto, but most of them are men because the majority of workers are men, and women are mostly housewives.

That was true.....50 years ago. Today it is very different since most university students and graduates are women and childcare services are more accessible in western countries. It is rare for a woman today to be a housewife unless you go to Pakistan or Saudi Arabia.

[caryoscar]

Based on data collected from Github, a study found that the top 100 blockchain projects in the cryptocurrency ecosystem show a severe lack of gender diversity, with women contributing only about 5% of the code.

The encrypted digital industry itself is particularly technical, and women are a model of formal logic and an obstacle to dialectical logic.

If I offend women because of this sentence, I hope to get their understanding.I have no intention to abolish women, and I don't want to be ruined by women.

Maybe women spend more time on family and children every day, including shopping.

[Boardmangetpaid]

Because that is their choice. Nobody is stopping women from buying bitcoin. Just like nobody is stopping them from becoming a welder, firefighter, airplane pilot, software developer, aerospace engineer, or playing DeFi Games like AXIE and $ANRX

The crypto asset industry is often identified as a man's world, as if there is no role for women in the crypto industry. This assumption cannot be separated from the dominance of men in the crypto asset industry, both as speakers, users and traders of crypto assets. but there are some women who are very influential for the development of crypto like Kathleen Breitman is the CEO of Dynamic Solutions, the company that created the first version of Tezos. Tezos is a decentralized and open-source blockchain-based smart contract platform that can perform peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions. Breitman founded Tezos in July 2018

This is most likely due to the fact that women are still not very familiar with the workings and benefits of crypto currency in daily transaction activities. and they may think that crypto currency is just an investment tool

I don't think it's because they don't understand. but more on the character of most women who do prefer something definite and clear. they have good calculations. unlike men who prefer a challenge and adrenaline.
but now it seems like a lot of women are getting into the crypto market too. even when they also already have a job and investing in crypto becomes another source of income.

[blockman]

This is most likely due to the fact that women are still not very familiar with the workings and benefits of crypto currency in daily transaction activities.

That's the idea that we've been thinking about women for every aspect of the economy. That, we're more dominant to all of it and they're not familiar to it because they're only for lite tasks.

and they may think that crypto currency is just an investment tool

This is common thinking not only for women but also for us, men. What's more of they think is that the common idea too that bitcoin isn't a real thing and the taboo that has been put into thinking of most people about it.

The risk pressure of the crypto market will show gender differences. The cryptocurrency market is unstable, the price fluctuates greatly, and there is a greater risk. Women investing will pay more attention to returns and risks. When faced with such high-risk investments, they will be afraid and fearful. More men think that cryptocurrency is the current investment trend and can bring many benefits. They are more willing to take the risk of such high profits.

[cabron]

Robinhood articles say they've been detecting more and more women getting into cryptocurrency and I think I also saw the information on cointelegraph. It's actually not unusual because the adoption should increase the number of users including the number of women.

Meanwhile, this is Bloomberg article about the surge of numbers which they also reference the Robinhood tweet about it.

[Liamttw]

Women will pay more attention to the return on profits when they invest. The price of the cryptocurrency market is unstable and volatile, and it is necessary to bear greater risks while obtaining high profits. This kind of market volatility and risk pressure is prone to market sentiment and will be afraid of investing in cryptocurrencies.
Investing in cryptocurrency is also related to interest. In terms of innovation and technology, women pay less attention and interest than men.

Just like men, women who also see and love the opportunities will come along and ride with it.
We are already in the generations where equality is already been enjoyed by everyone,

I agree that women this day who also aiming for a betterment of life in terms of financial capabilities will see this venue as a good source to focus.

Common  crypto is for everyone who have the courage to take the risk, for sure there are women out there and the numbers will keep increasing.

[Malam90]

It's obviously right that the number of women in crypto are very less comparative to the Men although many women use other payment gateway like Paypal but they are lagging in crypto till now. Volatility of crypto and negativity including ban of crypto in certain country or reign prevents them to come forward in crypto. Many of them don't want to take so risk as crypto is volatile.

[Abiky]

My take on this is a bit different. You can argue that women are equal in men, as far as the skills are taken in to account. That may be true. But genetics mean that men have an advantage over women in many of the fields, and similarly women have an advantage in some other domains. One of the disadvantages with cryptocurrency is that it needs some amount of technical knowledge. Since the vast majority of the coders and programmers are men, they have a definite advantage in this domain (although the situation may change in the future).

That's certainly true, mate. It's no secret that men are the majority when it comes to technical stuff like programming or IT. That's probably because women are focused on other things in life. But this is bound to change in the future as more women become tech-savvy. In the future, it's expected both men and women use crypto at a large scale as the world becomes more interconnected. We already have some prominent female entrepreneurs in the crypto blockchain space (like Elizabeth Stark from ACINQ). The more crypto becomes popular, the more women will join the industry. Which gender you are doesn't make a difference in the decentralized world of crypto. What matters is mainstream adoption. As long as crypto/Blockchain tech have a large number of users behind it, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my opinion

[Sirait]

Because that is their choice. Nobody is stopping women from buying bitcoin. Just like nobody is stopping them from becoming a welder, firefighter, airplane pilot, software developer, aerospace engineer, or playing DeFi Games like AXIE and $ANRX

That's right, it's all the woman's choice because surely nothing forbids them from being in crypto unless they already have a husband. maybe in the next few years, more and more women will be in crypto.

[TelolettOm]

Yes, it looks like fewer women entered the world of Crypto compared to Men.
Their participation may indeed be unlimited because Crypto is not a gender problem. However, their interest may differ.
But, actually, there are many women who have jumped into the world of Crypto. Many projects also recruit women in their team, even with a pretty good position. And maybe the members here are women because we have never surveyed here, right?

[reza7777]

Crypto requires thinking at every step in making decisions, whereas in my opinion women don't use thinking to make decisions but they prioritize feelings (don't dare to take risks)

[aprilnot]

They are probably afraid to ride the crypto market volatility. Women are said to be more emotional than men.

Or maybe they just prefer other money-making opportunities like selling various stuffs online. I don't know about you but all (live) online sellers I see on social media are women

It can be said that they are a minority in all of the online based platform. But they are reached in the next level in f-commerce (facebook marketing) they selling in many things in the platform even though free marketing. They are afraid of losing so they don't want to invest in cryptocurrency with risk. Even they can't control their emotion when see volatility in crypto.

more precisely women are only interested in the mainstream. their level of curiosity is lower than men. that's why the crypto community is male dominated. women prefer something that has been used a lot, because it's easier to learn. whereas crypto is new and too complicated.

[ROSERTY]

Crypto currency is a new trend currently. Women will be seldom interested in such new things and technical things, and they will not take the initiative to study and study cryptocurrency.
The price of the cryptocurrency market also fluctuates greatly, and there are greater risks. Women are generally unwilling to bear such risk pressure.
