Why Aren’t There More Women in Bitcoin?

[raaner12]

Take a look around the crypto community, both in meatspace and online, and it would be fair to say that the majority of participants are male. This is borne out in a recent survey of 2,000 Americans which shed light on the makeup of the bitcoin space, highlighting a stark gender divide. In fact Google Analytics data estimates less than 4% of bitcoin users to be female. The question is, why?

It's probably because women are generally more risk averse. Just my biased opinion

good point!!

Well, maybe it's because women are not that into it. Not many of them understand that. Men, on the other hand, became interested in it straightaway and are still into it.

Look dudes, get over yourselves. My wife is the main crypto trader in our house, and she's all over it. She manages earned fiat money moving into coin, keeps coin moving between exchanges and trading platforms to more merchant fulfillment sites as needed. She covers bills with visa linked to btc-backed accounts, choosing the right time to pay the bills based on market price. She makes travel plans and pays with coin. She times retail purchase to market conditions. She moves earned coin onto gift cards for sundries. She hunts down mining equip and scores gpu cards in auctions. She pushes me to expand the mining operation and keeps an eye on what the mining calculators say about which coin to mine.

What she is not doing, is telling other guys about it. I can't get her to go to the local bitcoin meetups, because talking coin to a bunch of coin enthusiasts (including yours truly) is not her idea of a good time. It's not clear to me how anyone would ever know she's all over crypto, but she was two feat in after she saw the money.

For my part, I'd say there are a lot more women in crypto than is apparent by the people who publicly open their mouth about crypto. If anyone thinks that women don't understand money, they're short a clue.

I asked myself too. In the very beginning it was difficult for understanding but now I like it very much and I'm trying to be around all the news about cryptocurrency. Maybe women don't like difficulties..there should be many factors, I think
