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."

    So, risc conscious is a genderist newspeak for cowardly now?

    The same as "brave" is an newspeak for "stupid"
