That's an interesting hypothesis about why more women are not involved in cryptocurrencies, and why some countries adopt harsh regulations for crypto.
I think that the gender gap in the technology sector in general may also play a part in the gender gap in cryptos. For example, at a tech startup competition that I attended a few months back, the man to woman ratio was 6:1. Given the fact that a large proportion of people in the cryptocurrency industry sector are interested in technology or work in the tech sector, this could be a factor.
That being said, I acknowledge that many people invested in cryptocurrencies may not not be interested in technology, which is where the low tolerance for risk definitely plays a part.
You're right in saying that the correlation does not stick, based off of countries like Japan and Singapore. I think that you're right though, it would seem to me that the American male would be interested in cryptocurrencies due to 1) Distrust, 2) The willingness to take risk and 3) The opportunity to be the early adopters and make their money before cryptocurrencies go main stream (which ties deeply with their willingness to take risks).
"I think that the gender gap in the technology sector in general..."
You are on a slippery slope here LOL, wasn't Google Engineer being fired (and is now suing Google) for similar thing?
;-)
There is a very clear gap in gender in the tech sector. Not a slippery slope at all - I'm not in any way saying women are less capable than men, in fact most women in the tech sector that I know are phenomenal at their jobs. You can't argue with the gender gap though, numbers are numbers!
Yes, of course, I put there LOL and wink smiley ;-)
My comment was tongue in cheek, since one Engineer got fired for the similar statement
I'm all against political correctness talk so I'm with you, sorry if i didn't write more clear ;-)
