Hi Friends!
Happy International Women's Day. As a woman in a male dominated sector - this is a topic of great interest to me and has been something I've been really digging into lately.
Studies show that 90% of the people that own cryptocurrency are male. Check out this interesting graphic from Coin Desk below about demographic information on bitcoin owners.
I have my own rough ideas and thoughts based on personal experience, and behavior I've observed with female friends and associates when discussing crypto - but I'm looking to dig a little deeper. Obviously there have been plenty of articles, videos and discussions on this subject already - but I feel like many just kind of skim the surface. I'm looking to go a little deeper and better understand the core reasons as to why there is resistance or hesitation.
Why does this matter? Because obviously if we want to reach mass adoption and get to a place in society where people are actually using crypto in their daily lives - then we have to start bridging this gender gap and bringing more women into the space.
The reason I'm aiming to dig a little deeper is because if we don't fully understand the problem - then we can't really take action. Any action taken on mediocre information will only give mediocre results. Having information that actually goes to the core of the message though - allows us to take action in a way that will really make a difference.
So what am I asking of you? Your thoughts!
This is a safe, judgement free space. I'm not looking to defend any type of position. I'm truthfully and honestly just looking to get your thoughts on the subject to help me expand my own understanding and develop a stronger hypothesis. If you don't feel comfortable leaving a comment below - feel free to send me a DM on Discord at @Coruscate#6642.
Love you guys and I can't wait to read your thoughts below! I have been thinking about publishing this post for a while now, and couldn't think of a better day to do it than International Women's Day. I look forward to sharing my own thoughts on the subject in the future based on my research and personal experience.
XO, Lea
