In a Twitter discussion on Sept. 5, Rosa-Maria Ryyti (Miss Universe Finland 2015 winner), argued Bitcoin's risk factor made it more appealing to men.
She was responding to a query by analyst and Cointelegraph contributor, Filb Filb, who asked followers why the Bitcoin community was overwhelmingly male.
"Women are more risk-conscious in general and often go for a 'slow & steady' investment strategy," Ryyti wrote, adding:
"The current general perception of Bitcoin in the msm makes it even less probable for the average women (and men) to get involved."

There's a comment on that page:
I've only talked to guys about investing, never thought about women investing. So is this true? I would figure that if an individual in this time did not actively manage his assets, come retirement he would be in pretty bad shape.
If there are apparently so many male incels, that would imply that many women won't have a husband to handle financial matters for them.

Women don't need a husband to handle it. They can just divorce and get the kids, child support+alimony (till the end of their life) by default. Repeat a few more times and they don't even need to work. At least until the man decides to stop it all. See Robin Williams.

If they were married, they had a husband who could have handled the finances for a potential divorce.
What about those women who statistically remained single because of the existence of male incels?

They don't remain single, the divorced guy gets screwed again.
