Crypto traders beaten by girls

"Singaporean women ‘outperforming’ men in crypto trades, survey reveals"
https://cointelegraph.com/news/singaporean-women-outperforming-men-in-crypto-trades-survey-reveals

The dawn of mankind is officially here. A recent poll from Singapore revealed that women managed to outperform men in the manliest games of all - crypto trading:
"As per the survey data, 76% of women reported either making money or breaking even on their crypto investments, compared to just 72% of men"

Since it looks like the answers were self-reported, there's a chance that women may not be telling the truth, to make themselves look better. But maybe there's something in the female approach to trading that would explain it (i.e. higher risk aversion?).

There are two things that come to mind which could explain this statistic, the first one is that as you mention maybe there is a difference on the risks taken and women are investing more on bitcoin while men are taking their chances with altcoins, another explanation could be that maybe the number of women investing in this market has increased recently and they were able to buy most of their holdings during the 2022 bear market for a cheap price, while the men are still suffering from the aftereffects of buying during the bull run and they are still losing some money.

Whatever the reason, I'm glad there are more women investing in crypto. Bitcoin has brought us equality between the poor and the rich, where everyone can invest in bitcoin and have the same chance to become rich, unlike other assets that can only invest when we have a substantial amount. Likewise, we should also have more female investors to make things more equal. What we can do, women can do better than us. I would love to read these news, I will tell my wife this, I also want her to enter the market, but I can't convince her yet.

How many women participated in the survey? I do have a friend from Singapore and fortunately she is girl and aware of the name bitcoin but still thinks its something related to scam even I talked to her about that a week ago if I am not wrong so that is what the status when we are talking about majority so don't differentiate men and women here, cause even both combined we still need mountains to climb to reach some milestone.

Maybe your girl friend is only among of those 24 percent who didn't believe in crypto. Bitcoin is not new anymore and I rarely heard news that Bitcoin itself is involved in scams but it was only other cryptos or companies. Bitcoin value declined by some percent but it's just normal.

If your friend or someone is truly curious about something else, they better investigate further to know the truth and don't just believe on what they see online or in the media because not all of them are true. We are not talking about achievements or milestones but the topic is only showing that girls are now outperforming boys when it comes to crypto trading. There is nothing is wrong with it but some men are proud of it in fact.

Although I could doubt the survey results, one fact is that regardless of their gender, it is always possible to engage in trading or investing in crypto. Even if the government can confirm some genders, there is always the possibility of getting them in investment and trade.

Investing and trading is about realizing one's potential of possible returns, so it doesn't matter who outperforms who including gender. We also won't know for sure that in the long term the forum will also have more women than it does now.

I’m not sure I believe how accurate this data is, but if I were to make an assumption about why it could be true… I would say that historically speaking the holders of Bitcoin have done quite well where traders have not. So perhaps women are buying and stacking while men think they can trade and outperform leaving them to find out the hard way that isn’t easy. Seems logical to me.

You could be spot on here. The survey was done on "unbiased sample of everyday Singapore residents", so casual people rather than skilled traders. And when you're not skilled and can't do a proper analysis, it's best to invest in well-established crypto and just sit on your hands until profit. Women with their higher risk aversion are more likely to do that.

That being said, since the results are self-reported, I wouldn't be surprised if both groups were lying big time. The survey was conducted in February 2023, when crypto is still in the bottom as compared to its ath, so the range of 70%-80% of people making a profit sounds highly improbable, unless they only considered changes in value in the lat month or something like that.

[pawel7777]

I managed to find the source document, the downloadable pdf of the Independent Reserve Cryptocurrency Index 2023 can be found here:
https://www.independentreserve.com/blog/news/independent-reserve-cryptocurrency-index-irci-singapore-2023 (they're asking for name and email, but you can put anything there)

Other than the topic discussed, there are quite a lot of other, interesting stats in there. Here are a few:

- 91% of Singapore residents are aware of at least one cryptocurrency.
- the crypto that Singaporeans are most aware of is Bitcoin, with 87% recognition
- 65% of Singaporean residents earning $5,000 or more monthly have invested in crypto
- 60% of crypto investors stated Bitcoin as their preferred crypto

If an exchange who has conducted mandatory KYC has released a report then that would be considered authentic but this is just a theory that some of the users that participated in the self reported survey claim that they are female but considering Singapore government has a positive attitude towards the entire cryptocurrency space, the rest of the things said in the article might be true that they are positive in the long run and would diversify their portfolio in the coming years.

Adoption has increased because most women stay at home, I think it is the right decision for women to enter the crypto world which does not require as much energy as jobs out there, women in a country like Singapore certainly have a high level of education and understanding so they are women it understands how crypto can provide them with an income that is more than their husband or father's salary. I'm not saying that men are low but they are average in orientation thinking about physical strength and suit or field.
I think that's a factor of the rampant adoption. in terms of why women gain more, I think because basically women have tenacity, patience and thoroughness in financial matters and as we can see, for example, women often bid on goods when shopping anywhere, so the risk-taking and strategic approaches are quite effective and generate more profits. than most men do.

There is a compelling fact that this survey is wrong because its results are not accurate which is something we should all look at in the meantime because women do not have the resilience for long term most especially when the odds are going against them, trading is a volatile adventure that requires much input and waiting period, women may not have that time, and tend to lose interest in a short period.

survey data! I would made attention, this is not an analysis with data, so I would take such info very carefully, precisely because there is no scientific methodology.

wtf..."the manliest games of all"


There's nothing masculine or feminine about crypto or trading. Such a weird thing to say.

Men are more prevalent investors in the industry because both tech and finance have more men than women, and men seem to tend to get onboard with "riskier" things than women. But its such a weird thing to compare trading profits between men and women, as though one's gender would play any role at all in how well they trade. Calling crypto trading the manliest game of all is so cringe. That's the type of statement that makes people refer to crypto investors as "crypto bros" and gives the whole industry a negative connotation

Got it right, even on those typical sports or even with activities on which women is really been highly criticized which they shouldnt really be doing that because it is really just for masculine and not for feminine approach.This is why this had been keep on continuing on having this kind of approach on where there's really some discrimination or belittling about in between gender without even trying out to realize
that on what men could do would be also can be done by women. Trading is for everyone and it doesnt matter on what gender you do have as long you do know on what you
are doing then that what matter the most.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

     -  Because when bitcoin or cryptocurrency started, the majority of the community here were men and only a few women. Maybe other women thought that what men can do in the crypto space we can do too.

So because of that, many of them are also trying to learn and learn crypto skills in terms of trading, that's actually good because now everything is becoming balanced because it's fun to see that there are more and more female crypto traders in this industry. Women also show that what we can adopt, they can also do it, there are others who may underestimate women, which is wrong. We should even be proud and work together in crypto trading whether women or men.

[btc78]

There are no competition actually instead this is a big step of helping the crypto community , imagine if the girls did not enter this world ? so how long it will take for us to cover the amount of supplies and capitalization now?

in the past they said that this is only for the boys but now lets see what is the big effect from the participation of women.

you have my support here mate, completely correct .

[Ngewex Yuk]

The advantage of a woman when she wants to enter a field is that she can focus and concentrate fully, usually a woman can be more patient not to sell when she loses, she will focus on planned profits while men are usually impatient because they think it's better to lose and try their next fortune.

Does depend because it would always matter on someones experience if we do speak about impulsive reaction because even if you are a man or women but still you dont have that sufficient experience on the field,
you would definitely making up some impulsive reactions which would cause up those actions which arent really that worth.This is why you cant really be able to point out whether you are a girl or boy,
man or women, it doesnt matter because it would always count on how you do approach up certain conditions on which it would be always mattering on the experience
you do have on trading. This is why it isnt really just right on having these kind of gender criticisms or underestimation.

[peter0425]

maybe because they have more patience than man? they are also one of those can completely managed their character from trading? separating their feeling when they trade means a lot in this area.
but also a sad news being beaten by women when in the past, girls dont even have interest in investing in crypto?

you got it there mate

it is the best to understand that their dedication is completely perfect to enter crypto investing .

[Sir Legend]

Generally women are more patient or focused on goals, when I went to school to college, most of the class winners were women, the nature of women who focus on goals and are not easily distracted makes them successful compared to men who are mostly impatient, when women enter crypto then she is more able to control emotions than men.

The survey was ordered by the exchange but conducted by 3rd party. My objection to self-reported results is not that some men could pretend to be women, but that people are not the best in keeping a track of their profits/losses plus they'd often lie even to themselves. It's just like when you ask an average gambler how is he doing profit-wise, most would tell you they're around the break-even position or on a small profits, while statistically that's very far from the truth.

Men are more prevalent investors in the industry because both tech and finance have more men than women, and men seem to tend to get onboard with "riskier" things than women. But its such a weird thing to compare trading profits between men and women, as though one's gender would play any role at all in how well they trade.

So it's fine to say men are better in tech and finance, it's fine to say that there are differences in risk appetite between genders, but to say that this could translate to differences in trading performance is weird and unimaginable to you?

[Bitcoin2009]

If we pay attention, there are many things that women can do better than men, for example jobs related to accuracy such as finance and accounting, mostly controlled by women, it's only natural that women who trade have the opportunity to beat men, this is because trading requires many things such as analysis, emotion, patience and so on.

[Frankolala]

Women are more focused with whatever they are doing and they are also patient because they don't need rushing to make profit. It means that in Singapore women are more in the cryptospace than men due to their activeness in trading.

In my country the percentage of men into crypto trading is higher than that of the women. Eventually, the women that are into it are good at trading and they are always making profit from the market. Bitcoin is really creating job opportunities for people all over the world.
