Also Girls Should Be Taught About Bitcoin

[BD Crypto]

My younger sister told me that how you bear your pocket money because dad doesn't give you much money without education fees. I told my sister that I have a little investment in Bitcoin and I am a short term trader (though the fund is little). She told that she learned about Bitcoin at her ICT related books. But she has not much knowledge about it. Then I tried to teach him the basics of Bitcoin. At last I succeed though there are enough information to learn by my sister. She told me that she is interested to be a Bitcoin user. And already she started to keep some money from daily pocket money and after that she will invest in Bitcoin. I told that not only you but also other girls should learn about Bitcoin and Blockchain technology. She told me that she will share her experience about Bitcoin with her college friends. I am now much happy by sharing with my younger sister about Bitcoin and will be more happy if she share information and teach other friends.

Your story is more or less fascinating because at any point in time we try to introduce bitcoin to people around us irrespective of their gender differences, i will say that your sister had made her choice already right from when she demanded to learn about bitcoin, she realized that her gender difference shouldn't be a barrier to knowing about bitcoin, be an investor and be financially free and independent, same should other people learn from this that bitcoin is meant for all, no gender bias, it's not meant for the men alone, try encourage her to take more adequate steps in learning about bitcoin the more because she's just getting started.

The bitcoin space is non-discriminatory, anybody that is interested is free to use the currency. Anybody that has an interest in the sector is free to join regardless of gender or race. Everybody has equal opportunity in the Bitcoin sector. But I also understand your point OP, the crypto space is dominated by men. This might be because women are restricted by finance, childraising, cultural barriers, and other impediment. In my area, most parents restrict their female children from owning mobile phones while male children are free to own one.

But it was great you shared the Bitcoin experience with your sister. Bitcoin education should be continued so ensure you keep exposing her to other areas such as Bitcoin transactions, wallets, privacy, security, etc. You can also arrange for a Bitcoin lesson for your sister's friends if they are interested.

Even before now, I have had a lot of female friends and relatives who are into Bitcoin. They love the technology, and most of them are doing far better than a few of us, but they don't just show themselves; a lot of them just like leaving their private lives and doing their things the way they want to do them.

Since she already has the basis or just the name from a computer book, it will be easier for you to lecture her more about the coin, but before you advise her to also bring her schoolmate onboard, you should educate her more first. She really needs to understand what she is about to teach someone before she can move forward in doing that, or she will misinform her friends and they will have the wrong information about Bitcoin and invest in it from the wrong perspective, which might end up landing her in trouble.

It's no longer a thing that must be like an exception on this space. There have been a bunch of women that's also into Bitcoin so that's not something new anymore.

But still, good job on introducing bitcoin to your sister but you don't have to force her to tell it to her friends. That can even be a problem that she'll bear soon when one of her friends invests and then not patient enough but only sees the daily losses because of volatility.

Educating her is enough already and you did a great thing there.

[demonica]

There are women who've already been in Bitcoin and it's not new. I get that the majority of people here in this space are men but there are also women. I have female friends and acquaintances that are into crypto and some of them are influenced by their boyfriends.

Anyone can learn about Bitcoin regardless of their gender, as long as they're interested in learning and exploring Bitcoin. Glad for you, that you're able to convince your sister about Bitcoin and she seems interested in learning. She might be able to influence her friends once she has enough experience and knowledge in Bitcoin.

Some females are good traders than male,it is not new anymore for female to adopt bitcoin because there are females in the cryptospace already. I am a female and I have introduced my female friends to bitcoin and only one of them was interested and she have her bitcoin investment portfolio. I love what you did by teaching your younger sister bitcoin and she has already invested in it. I hope you told her about the risk involved,because she should know that it is not a get rick quick project. Also advise her to go into a long term investment for her not a panic when bitcoin price dips below the price she bought it. Lastly,bitcoin knowledge doesn't end at the basic concept alone,she needs to be learning constantly for her to be able to keep her funds safe in her wallet. You should introduce her to the forum so that she can have a successful bitcoin journey

I yet to see someone that would know of as of asking money and by this I mean, get an understanding of what bitcoin is about and still kick out, even with the available funds to buy and hold some coins. The lots of persons that kicks out are those that are unaware and don't even care to find out.
The case is always different when the bulls starts running the market trends.

Anyway, bitcoin is not sexes and as such, there isn't any gender segregation. Anyone who is interested can always start from somewhere and build there portfolio but first, you get to learn the pros and cons.

[aioc]

You can also arrange for a Bitcoin lesson for your sister's friends if they are interested.

I already did that and was surprised that girls are keener on learning about Bitcoin because we are in a modern world, girls when they grow up want to be financially independent too and they don't want to depend on their boyfriends or husbands for their needs and besides has no specific age, race or sexuality we are all equal when it comes to acquiring Bitcoin, there may even a time that women will be more active investors of Bitcoin, Bitcoin really is for everyone.

How nice of you, after 3 years on this forum you finally shared your knowledge with your sister.
And obviously, it's far better since this ain't one of those fantasy merit fishing stories!

She told me that she is interested to be a Bitcoin user. And already she started to keep some money from daily pocket money and after that she will invest in Bitcoin.

That's not being a Bitcoin user!
What you have told your sister is that Bitcoin is money-making machine into which he has to pour her savings to get moar money!
Which as always will have catastrophic effects for a lot of guys going this path if we enter another bear market and not a bullish season like everyone is expecting.

I still can't wait for a topic of somebody telling their relatives about Bitcoin on how this is censorship-resistant, how it works 24/7, how nobody can ban you from using it, how it allows you to pay somebody a continent apart, how you can store it safely without anyone ever knowing and not once mentioning the price or making rain money with one quarter. But I guess that would be a surprise even for users here!

[Jawhead999]

Girls aren't stupid, there are many female want to learn about many thing, technology isn't only limited for male. But usually female are very bad in privacy because they're obsessed with popularity. However can you define what girl is?

will be more happy if she share information and teach other friends.

This is bad, you're live in where Bitcoin is banned, if your sister teach about Bitcoin to her friends and her friends report your sister, your sister would be in trouble. When you're live in a country where they not allow Bitcoin, you need to learn what is privacy.

So far I see that most in the crypto world are men and only a few women are interested in getting into this world. It's quite unfortunate that quite a few women are into trading, investing, and even developing the Bitcoin ecosystem. Even if we look at the Bitcoin ecosystem, it is big, and there are still many opportunities that can be explored - women can also enter this world and join in to be able to build this ecosystem together and make it even stronger, but it seems that most of them are reluctant and prefer not to join into it, it's quite unfortunate.

[Lorence.xD]

That's actually a wholesome moment with your sister as you guide her to more opportunities. But Bitcoin is literally open to everyone, is just depends on the person if they really spend their time to learn and study about Bitcoin since it's complicated. I met some woman in the community which talks about cryptocurrency and she literally know how to take advantage of everything in this industry which is amazing. You could teach her step by step no need to rush, some people took years before even trying to invest. Until now everyday people are still learning since the world is changing too fast.

I have said it in several similar threads and I'll still echo it here again.
When introducing something that has the potential of making someone lose their money/investment make sure you also tell them able the possible disadvantages associated with it, that way they will be more than rest to shoulder anything that might happen in the future.

I'm very sure your sister is delighted to have heard that she can make money by investing in Bitcoin but is she also away that the price of Bitcoin s volatile and my drop down at anytime? No! What then do you think will happen if your sister successfully makes her friends interested in Bitcoin by also sugarcoating it the same way you did to her and eventually none of them profit from it and at that end were forced to sell at a lost due to an urgent need for money? What do you think you will be labeled as? It's certain that you might be called a scammer for trying to help people.

Please always try to talk about the things that people wanting to go into Bitcoin should bear at the back of their mind, the risk involved and they are fine with it then let them proceed.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Why do you separate women and men in Bitcoin knowledge? Perhaps for technical issues in Bitcoin, not all girls will be interested, but everything related to investing does not present any difficulties; moreover, girls are more accurate in learning, and if they wish, they can still argue with men. But I’m sure that girls in storage, and the patience to keep up with the price they need, are stronger since many have innate accuracy. And I agree with your sister that women should not depend on men; they need to develop on their own in order to be self-sufficient and not dependent on anyone.

[SOKO-DEKE]

The rate at which females are adopting Bitcoin is not much compared to males, but it is not a new thing that there are some females in the crypto industry. Bitcoin does not identify any gender; it is created for men and women to save as an alternative to fiat currency and help us against inflation, and many also see it as an investment that may profit in the future because of its volatility. If there is some purpose to Bitcoin, I wonder why we still don't have many females in the crypto industry. But I discovered that many girls are dependent on their men, which is why many of them never think of learning about Bitcoin.

[Pandu Geddon]

I am now much happy by sharing with my younger sister about Bitcoin and will be more happy if she share information and teach other friends.

imparting knowledge about Bitcoin to anyone is a good deed. it doesn't even look at gender, religion, or where you come from.
it becomes simple when we teach someone to hold onto Bitcoins the way he or she saves with pocket money. the impact of the investment made is indeed not large, because there are indeed limitations to the capital used. but it can be huge when people like your younger sister can earn their own money and have a bigger allocation of funds to invest in Bitcoin.

[Hatchy]

Bitcoin wasn't created for men only as there are many women in many cryptocurrency communities contributing in many ways as possible. 
It's really great to hear that you taught your sister the basics of Bitcoin, I guess she is a courageous woman who would be of great help to the Bitcoin community.

 Just tell her to study more in her leaisure hours about Bitcoin and know the risks involved. She should Not just saving up money to invest, but also save up knowledge of what she is about to invest in. Bitcoin is very volatile and this she must know of.

[buwaytress]

In the studies I've seen, fewer women are in Bitcoin when compared to male peers in the same demographics, but women do much better when investing, and are more interested in utility (as opposed to speculation). Seems to be a case of "Boys Should Also Be Learned About Money".

How nice of you, after 3 years on this forum you finally shared your knowledge with your sister.
And obviously, it's far better since this ain't one of those fantasy merit fishing stories!

At least I know I'm not the only one being intolerant of these fantasy story made-up nonsense posts. I say intolerant because apparently, not everyone believes these stories aren't... stories

I still can't wait for a topic of somebody telling their relatives about Bitcoin on how this is censorship-resistant, how it works 24/7, how nobody can ban you from using it, how it allows you to pay somebody a continent apart, how you can store it safely without anyone ever knowing and not once mentioning the price or making rain money with one quarter. But I guess that would be a surprise even for users here!

If I had the energy I'd dig up some old threads I've seen about other real-life stories of people claiming exactly that. Like me, I'm sure your heart would have warmed up to them.

OP has "knowledge is power" as his tagline... I wonder if miseducation and misinformation are more powerful weapons these days.

[Yamifoud]

Crypto space is open for everyone whether you are a girl/woman, or men. As long as you have an interest in learning about this stuff, you'll really get something good out of it. Besides, Bitcoin is already known across the globe but yes, some are not knowledgeable enough, maybe they just heard it or just read it in the newspaper. With the lack of crypto education, many of us think negatively and are afraid to invest in this. Not to wonder why because even, why I should do that if we don't understand it in the first place. But I know, from to time, many people learn about Bitcoin and have possibly been taught in the school as part of their curriculum.
