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."

You basically echoed my entire thought process on the matter, though with a bit less cynicism about the purpose of BC (I personally think it was supposed to be the monetary equivalent of Uber and Lyft, with all the awful things that implies...).

Cynicism has its place with bitcoin, but I read it as being the product of idealists rather than people exploiting workers. I consider lyft and uber to be utter, utter scum - and as a roboticist, I have even more antipathy for uber.
