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."

    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.
