Concerning the debate on the gender difference in risk-taking and adopting new things: women comprise about 1.76 percent of the entire user base of Bitcoin [and then back to wondering why there are so few women in risky businesses like founding startups)

Ancedotal:

My wife has no clue about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies. She just knows that we are going to Vegas later this year paid all with Bitcoin from mining.

For those who Are MGTOW or want to protect your assets, store some Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency and keep the the key/recovery password memorized - well worth the effort.

The female aversion to risk explains almost all of what we call "discrimination."

Men love to help women. But we can only do so much.

Our brains are literally different:

Men are more inclined to take risks than women. This finding has been replicated in a variety of studies over the years with researchers pointing to economic and evolutionary reasons. A recent study by Mara Mather and Nichole R. Lighthall found that gender differences are amplified even further under stress. Male risk-taking tends to increase under stress, while female risk taking tends to decrease under stress. One reason is there are gender differences in brain activity involved in computing risk and preparing for action.

I realize this is a men's rights sub, but I've long advocated ubi as a means to reduce risk for prospective female startup founders (and male, but studies suggest that this will help women more).

This would also counter the higher IQ spread of men leading to more ultra low IQ men.

Doh. Now they're will be demands of special training courses and regulation of Bitcoin. Many men will rush in to validate the horrible sexism and jump on any body that points out the craziness of it.
