It is just women tend to show their emotions a lot more on the outside. Men are emotional as well, but they are just not showing it for everyone to see. Bitcoin is dominated by me and it is normal because IT technology is not really women domain. How many professional women who can code on high level do you know? Bitcoin is just in early phase, when it will be widely adopted by merchants - women will appear.

Exactly. Women are neither more social nor more emotional than men. They simply have other preferences.

The "article" is complete idiocy. The fact that the Bitcoin sphere is dominated by men has zero implications pertaining to its potential success. Simply because men are more interested in early stage technology (which comes with usability drawbacks) does not mean that women are left out. Women will join at a later stage, when usability has improved and the perception of risk is lower.
You could construct the same arguments for gold and silver: Most people in the mining industry are men. So precious metals are dominated by men and will not be useful/valuable at all, because women are left out.

Bitcoin is neutral technology, it will succeed simply because it is useful, not for being "social". Of course people (women) can use Bitcoin to do social things. But solving "big social problems" is not at all a requirement for success.

ya.ya.yo!
