Are girls using Bitcoins?

[NEM minnow]

when girls really start using it, then we know that bitcoin is real.  girls are very safe and cautious with money. 

to make bitcoin popular with girls, it will have to be a lot easier to use, and maybe get a pink wallet.

Clinging to stereotypes won't help acceptance among females. They are perfectly capable when they want.

Surely we would need to have a wallet with beer images and naked girls to gain adoption among men?

Right now, I have heard that the females constitute a significant part of the Bitcoiners in China and Hong Kong. There they constitute some one-fifth to one-third of all Bitcoiners. But the problem is that most of them have no ideological reason to use Bitcoin. They are just seeing Bitcoin as another medium of investment.  

.... Hong Kong has a high percentage of female ASIAN Bitcoin users?

*buys ticket*

[Nerazzura]

the count of women is much less about BTC.
As for those who use images of women or female name, when in fact they are a man who wants to seduce
   : D. women prefer to talk about their idols or their friend's husband. haha

Considering all the guys who play female toons in mmorpgs, are we sure this 10%-20% aren't just guys who wish they were women?!

OK. Cancel your ticket. Heard that the vast majority of them are middle-aged. (Chinese Bitcoiners as a whole are significantly older than the average Bitcoin user in the United States or the European Union).

Any girls in the house

or

is this a Man's world?

In my country there is may be 5 women who not only know but have Bitcoin.
So not sure if there is much women having BTC. Is there in the world a girl bought mining rig and mined BTC?

I tought most guys pick girls in mmorpgs because it's better to stare at a female butt than to stare at a male butt all the time.

The problem was not that the hug was "mean", the problem was that it obviously crossed the line. It can be extremely uncomfortable, and at times degrading, to have some unfamiliar man grab and grope you as if they have the right to do that because you are a women. It is about boundaries and respect.

Yeah, either you want tough men or you want pussies. Maybe, you better decide.

They're even decreasing. lol

Amusing, but to be fair she is probably in the 1% bracket, so she is an exotic animal at that meetup as a matter of fact. And hey, one hen amongst 99 roosters, what can you expect?  

she claims to be a bitcoin enthusiast then writes a negative article about a hug hey I'm sure it was a really mean hug don't get me wrong!

You seem to be screaming for attention, claiming to be a pretty girl on a male dominated forum.

On a sidenote, am I the only one who chuckled at the OPs name?

It's a long thread with more than one person asserting that women who use bitcoin are "ugly nerds" or similar, it's not weird that an attractive woman who uses it may say "Hey, I exist and I use bitcoin" without her very existence to be an elaborate scam to get a few extra lines of snark out of you guys.
I'm a reasonably attractive woman too, just so you know. It's not for your benefit and it doesn't magically stop me from using cryptocurrencies.
It seems a little weird that just by being on here as "publically female" people immediatly expect you to be a scammy liar who's out to get their coins or too dumb to throw on a burka and call yourself mr.jones to escape the hassle.
I shall be here as the semi-hot chick I am to show you that semi-hot chicks can do cool stuff too, damn it!
I don't need no pink waller either.

it's just that in a forum like this you can expect to get sexist comments and openly confessing to not only be a woman, but a pretty woman is like asking for this:

Well the ones who strip in front of a web cam for Bitcoins certainly are

I think it's more like *not* asking for it and getting it anyway.

But that gif is always hilarious. Lindsay Ellis ftw!

OK. Cancel your ticket. Heard that the vast majority of them are middle-aged. (Chinese Bitcoiners as a whole are significantly older than the average Bitcoin user in the United States or the European Union). 

Ha! Well I'm middle aged (at least I hope I'm almost halfway through life by now) so no one has to fear losing any coin to my "girly whiles". (AND I mine my own)
There was a post from some time ago regarding how to spot a scammer on the board and ... >someone claiming to be a girl was one of them.
For a moment I didn't know whether to offended or amused...so I choose to be amused ;-).

I'm not in the tech industry, I'm interested in how to apply technology to whatever I'm doing so the time for us average consumers is coming.

I think the scammer post regarding people claiming to be girls was related to doing business with someone. As a possible scam would be to "flirt" with someone prior to doing business in order to gain their trust.

After years of being a monetary activist, I can safely assure you all that women just don't and aren't really going to understand bitcoin, as they lack an understanding of money in general.

Money is a tool of men to deal and trade with one another. Women, frankly, never had any need for money. They have their own currency, and its accepted EVERYWHERE. They can use it to get whatever they want and need.
