Women's Day Wishes to all Women Bitcoiners

[n0ne]

We have been encountering a big difference between the number of men and women in the cryptospace. Simply the blockchain/cryptocurrency market is termed to be male dominated. With time the participation of women have been increasing. As per data from Google search I found the women in blockchain technology to be 12% and I'm not sure to what extent this is true. Same as that 41% of women in crypto are traders and the rest just keep hold for long term.

Some of the facts

About a quarter of Robinhood's crypto investors are Women
Less than 5% of crypto entrepreneurs are women
15% cryptocurrency traders are Women
25 - 44 age group Women constitute more than 80% of the cryptocurrency investment.

I request all the Women Bitcointalk users to share their stories of getting into the cryptospace.

Edit : More facts to be added upon search

Hearty cheers to all outstanding women who are courageous enough in making difference even in this our perilous generation, they have shown the right and dignity of women in all aspect of human lives and withstand the challenges in which some could have discourage them from moving forward, they lay hold on the pursuit for excellence and create a positive mind toward setting and achieving goals.

Most especially, i want to appreciate the courageous women on this platform who have set their priority right in playing a particular role on the forum, I can't mention names but they are all outstanding, out of busy schedules they still maintain giving a positive impact to the forum both the singles and married women all over the world are celebrated, from this our noble forum bitcointalk.org i wish all our women bitcoiners a happy day celebration.

I am fine with all of these things as long as the statistical difference does not serve to justify a politician coming in and forcing the supposed gap to be bridged by decree.

From bitcointalk we can't have reliable data, but I would say that the vast majority of us are men. On the other hand I am pleasantly surprised that about a quarter of crypto investors in Robinhood are women. I did not expect so much.

Yes, it's international Women's day today.... So my wishes will be that we will see more women entering the Crypto currency scene. I know most women associate things you can touch and see as being valuable, for example : Diamonds / Gold / Expensive shoes... but there are some exceptions to this misconception ...and we value that.  

In the time when humans lived with dinosaurs, women were the gatherers and men the hunters. I hope the women of our time will go out and collect all the little Satoshi .... and save them for the future!

I do find it very strange that the crypto market is so male dominated. I know that it’s very hard to ascertain the percentage of female investors, hodlers, traders etc , but every snippet of information out there suggests that the crypto market is disproportionately weighted towards males.

Just take a look at this study looking at 50 top crypto companies

“Out of the 121 listed founders, only five were female. This amounts to just 4.13% of all founders, showing that the crypto industry is incredibly male-dominated.”

I wonder what the reason is ?

I wonder what the reason is ?

The reason for gender differences can not be easily determined, it would have roots in the society and upbringing, but we generally have men and women aspiring to different things even in the most egalitarian societies.

But, while we cannot understand why more women are not into cryptocurrencies, we can celebrate the ones who are and make this niche area accommodating for the ones who would want to be entering later on.

I don't find it strange at all. Markets have always been dominated by men. Stock markets, forex, name the asset and it's majority men. Too lazy to Google the stats but I've always seen Wall Street (to stereotype markets) as a male space.

And when there is research confirming that there are foundational disparities that contribute to why women don't invest such as wage gap and more conservative approaches -- Fidelity findings summarised in this report.

I'd follow women traders more though, they seem to post consistently better returns than men (perhaps due to more conservative approaches).

It's not even solely in the cryptocurrency space; the technology industry in general has always been male dominated, and that's not necessarily a bad thing! Any woman is welcome to enter this space.

[TheNineClub]

There are two things that are determining women to be less present in this than men. First is that, at least for the time being, blockchain has attracted mostly IT-oriented people and IT is still mostly dominated by men (in numbers), however, things are changing in that regard. The other thing is that investing has historically been dominated by men and this is no different. However, social changes, economic insecurity, and the allure of self-employment through crypto are definitely bringing in more women. It's slowly erasing the stigmas of the past.

There are lots of them and I have some friends who are actively participating in trading and other crypto-related stuff and all of them are women. The other day I saw the other girl post a newly bought car with her earnings from crypto and it's a motivation for the other girls as well. I think they have their own group whom they help each other and got each other hands to be successful together with the help of cryptocurrencies. There are lots of opportunities in the crypto industry and as you can see, their successful stories proved that.

With the craze that goes with the NFT games, it's also a welcoming introduction for them. As they go with those games that gives reward in cryptocurrency, they'll also be aware of the existence of bitcoin so that's the connection of it if we're going to think about how the other women became introduced to the market. But these days, is it still important if an area is dominated by male or female? I think this is no longer an issue.

[noorman0]

Unfortunately, the role of "women" in places such as Chinese social media is an obstacle for people to continue to be interested in the crypto space. Because it is decentralized, it will be more difficult to identify the real gender of a person and this can be an opportunity for scammers to find weaknesses in the victim.
While I hate to say this, I don't think we should pay much attention to gender in the crypto space because anyone can be "a woman".

I don’t normally like sparse data drawn from different sources, since they are subject to different methodologies and geographical/social context that is not derivable from a quote. The following sources more or less match some of those data statements:

25 - 44 age group Women constitute more than 80% of the cryptocurrency investment.

Not sure where this data comes from, but surely there is a context, such as "out of those women who invest" (as opposed to the general population).

Regardless, the interesting thing here would be to read some of their stories.

I request all the Women Bitcointalk users to share their stories of getting into the cryptospace.

I know that there are several members who declare themselves as women, but I am sure that there are many more who do not want to say so publicly and choose to fit into male society. Accordingly, I think that there should be no theory that the world of cryptocurrency is in any way a male sport, and that men in any way discourage women from being part of that world. After all, Bitcoin does not know gender, race, or nationality, and if a higher percentage of women are not interested in the world of cryptocurrencies, it is solely their choice that we need to respect.

I join in congratulating all women on the occasion of International Women's Day, and especially all the brave women of Ukraine who have stood up in defense of their country, and thousands of women in Russia who ended up in prison protesting the war💐🕊

[Oluwa-btc]

To them both,
lovesmayfamilis and SatoPrincess.
Happy Women's day wishes to them both, the later bitcointalk detective  Bitcointalk Mummy with strict Warnings about Plagiarism, and to my sister from the Nigerian local board.
I celebrate you both today, You both are inspirational in the forum and working tirelessly to the growth of the community.
Thanks X

Yeah majority of the trading fields are male dominated and after so many years only a little percentage has been diverted towards women working in it but still it remains male dominated and women tends to enter the other working space.According to the reports the the percentage is around 76% for males and 24% for womens in wall street and basically the desk jobs and here is one comparison from past reports.Although there is no reliable data to prove it and these are estimated results:



Source : Wall Street gender diversity

So the women tends not to be interested in this space or any other reasons could be there but those who are working in it have broad mind and opened to new technology.

The forum has similar rate and bitcoin community is not too much women engaging as you would find only little percentage for women bitcoiners :

But to all the women's present in this forum and whole bitcoin community as investors,traders or workers Happy Women's Day to all of them and hope to see this percentage gap soon covered.

First and foremost, Happy International Women’s Day to all of the beautiful, amazing and wonderful women here on Bitcointalk and in all walks of life!

Although that crypto and any tech-related industry are dominated by men, it doesn’t mean that women can’t do what men can. I’ve seen a lot of top-notch crypto projects already that are owned by women (e.g., founder, CEO, etc.).

Women are having the same brain as men, so their intelligence and skills really matter in the Bitcoin and crypto space. I’ve met some of the most amazing women in the crypto space both physically and virtually in local and overseas countries.

Especially in attending conferences, I’ve seen a lot of them participating, engaging, networking and even speaking on the stage as founders, CEOs, etc.

Yes we want more women to be engaged in this evolving industry! Much respect to them!

I request all the Women Bitcointalk users to share their stories of getting into the cryptospace.

Bitcointalk forum is anonymous and most people want to remain anonymous and do not like to disclose even their gender. Keeping this in mind,  we will not get a lot of responses on the stories from women bitcointalk users.

I wish happy women's day to everyone on this forum 

[xSkylarx]

Wishing you all a happy International Women's Day! I have a few female friends on the internet who are also investing in cryptocurrency, and I can say that these women are extremely intelligent and can act quickly, just like men. They are also not afraid of investing and taking risks. Also, I am grateful that my mentor was a woman when I was first starting out, as she has been extremely patient with me while also providing me with advice and, on occasion, financial assistance, which I greatly appreciate. We should celebrate and express our gratitude to them; a simple gift of money in cryptocurrency is extremely beneficial to them.

Lmao and how to you suppose this would happen? Kinda sounds like you’ve got a problem with gender and race equality overall otherwise you wouldn’t have ever even said something this stupid.

I salute all women in finance. As a financial professional and someone who’s work partner is a female, the truth is most women I encounter in this space are overall incredible. Happy Women's month !
