As I said in the past...Whoever figures out how to use this technology and makes a "Fashion DAC" to attract the women in this space will have the keys to the kingdom..;)

Plus its not like women can't get easily involved if they wanted to. The barriers of entry into crypto are extremely low and the knowledge necessary to appreciate this technology is out there free to consume in the form of videos, blog posts and forums.

It's not like you even have to go to college for years and get thousands of dollars in debt to start learning about this.

What are your thoughts?





I think the reason there aren't many women in crypto land is because they simply don't care.  It seems like many women are usually more interested in fashion and gossip. Plus, if the woman is pretty she will have hordes of men trying to give her everything she wants in hopes of 'winning her.' So there is no incentive for her to create and build things that will make her rich, powerful or admired. Men are already doing that.

Sexist stereotyping probably isn't going to help...

Indeed, if you're going for sexist stereotyping, at least phrase it as a challenge.  If you said women were incapable of understanding crypto, and if any women actually cared what you had to say on the matter, then I'm sure they'd be here in an instant to prove you wrong.

Well then why aren't there many women in this space?

I recently read an article on psychology today talking about stereotypes. The author was basically saying that there is an element of truth to stereotypes and that that is why they even exist in the first place. Trust me I'd like to believe that stereotypes hold no truth but maybe that author was right.

i.e. Black men are deadbeat dads
      conservatives are religious
      most latinos are descendant of Mexico
