Women are quietly reshaping finance…and no one’s talking about it.

I’ll admit, I was shocked when I stumbled across this, but I shouldn’t have been.

Women are silently redefining the financial landscape, and yet, it barely makes headlines…unless it’s international woman’s day.

They manage 84% of household budgets; controlling the flow of everyday capital.

They outpace men by nearly 2% in investment returns, thanks to more disciplined, long term strategies.

This makes them prime candidates to adopt Bitcoin, or even go Bitcoin only.

Right now, women make up 34% of the crypto space, and I’m bullish on that number rising.

But what I’d really love to see?

The ratio of crypto bros to Bitcoin maxis compared to crypto ladies to Bitcoin only women.

this is some woke shit

Research the difference between virtue signaling and pattern recognition. I don’t think it’s woke, it’s verifiable, no?

Yes, the post has a woke tone because it emphasizes gender dynamics in finance and Bitcoin adoption while implying that women are silently reshaping the landscape without receiving due recognition. It aligns with common woke narratives that highlight underappreciated contributions of specific groups (in this case, women).

Acknowledging financial data through a gendered lens doesn’t make it woke.

I’m not pushing an ideology, I’m highlighting a trend, one that I had previously overlooked.

I’m sorry if the truth makes you uncomfortable, idk what you want me to do about it

Framing financial trends through gender while implying they're overlooked and underappreciated is exactly what makes it woke. It's not about discomfort with truth—it's about recognizing when narratives are shaped to fit an ideological perspective rather than just presenting data.

You’re not just highlighting a trend, you’re adding a "nobody talks about this" spin that aligns with typical woke narratives.

Is it untrue women are playing a growing role in finance? Is it widely discussed in bitcoin circles?

I don’t live in normieland, can’t tell you how they treat it. I’m not talking in general. I’m talking about as a bitcoiner I’m surprised I was unaware of this.

Go you if it’s not surprising to you, just saying incel tones are no better than woke ones, and not reporting facts because they seem woke is just as misinformed as posting wokeness as fact.

“Nobody talks about this” is a literal observation from my experience.

In fact not much has been discussed on the demographic changes of Bitcoin this cycle besides there being more suits.

If challenging assumptions means woke then it’s lost all meaning.

It challenged my assumptions, I thought that was interesting, and I shared, sorry if it triggered you or felt too woke.

When I was gathering the information I too got ideologically defensive and thought it was woke bs, but I verified and felt misogynistic for thinking it couldn’t be true.

I’m not misogynistic the information was under reported so I was never aware, all the information I was given prior made me think the figure was closer to 10% than 33%+.

Nobody talks about this *enough for me to have been made aware earlier* and I wouldn’t have been made aware if yesterday wasn’t international women’s day. 😂🧡

It’s not about whether women are playing a bigger role in finance. It’s about the framing. You could’ve just shared the stats without adding the whole ‘nobody talks about this’ angle, which gives it that woke flavor.

Bitcoin is about individual sovereignty, not identity-based narratives. If the data is real, cool, but the emotional framing (‘I felt misogynistic for doubting it’) is exactly the kind of thing woke culture pushes—guilting people into accepting a narrative.

You weren’t wrong for questioning it. That’s what we do as Bitcoiners. But hey, if you just found this interesting and wanted to share, fair enough. Just don’t act surprised when people call out the way it was framed.

I don’t mind if people call out the way it was framed, they are entitled to their opinion, and I don’t tailor my posts for anyone but myself.

I was worried you were dismissing my post as ‘woke shit’, I disagreed and wanted to clarify.

I think we’ve reached a good conclusion through our dialogue.

We’ve both clarified and I’m satisfied with the results.

Good post; strong agree.

There's a high degree of convergence between Bitcoin's radical economic potential, and its radical emancipatory political potential, which both overlap with the discourse surrounding politics of gender.

One of the keys to getting people to understand "Bitcoin not crypto" is the realisation of its fundamental, inherent, immutable properties which protect its users from the debasement and depredation of the fiat regime, and given that women have been forced into a role of micromanaging their households' finances in order to maintain an acceptable quality of life for their families, they will inevitably be made aware of the power of Bitcoin to help them achieve their lifestyle goals through their social circles.

The "culture" or "marketing" angle to this problem, ie. the stereotype of the average woman in crypto being a "girlboss influencer" type, largely solves itself, in my mind, because the pressure of economic forces will increasingly force women to be aware of the predatory nature of the whole range of social media based grifts that "crypto" is just another manifestation of. Also, when you consider the political orientation of crypto being this incel-adjacent, Ur-fascistic, juvenile, anarcho-capitalism, which is inherently just as transparently predatory as every other pyramid scheme, you get how repulsive the whole thing looks to any self-respecting woman. That problem solves itself once people understand "Bitcoin not crypto" and the economic benefits that this understand entails.

The philosophical nature of Bitcoin as a feminine, passive, sustainable, natural force that quietly absorbs the economic damage of the world and nurtures communities who all thrive under its protection can't be denied. The fact that its development and users overwhelmingly skew male, often with arch-reactionary political views, doesn't change this fact, because all of the discourse around politics and economics that emerged online from what would commonly be described as the Bitcoin Community, while a vital source of energy and activity, ultimately has to be seen as a theoretical framework for what will emerge as the real world Bitcoin communities in meat space, and the practical logic that informs their leadership and direction.

Strong men recognise this and aren't threatened by the inevitable, and anyone who advocates the move to making Bitcoin a practical aspect of ones life in whatever way, is part of the inevitability. I'm a bit of a hypocrite in this way, hiding behind my nym and not contributing much at all, but I owe my very survival to Bitcoin and I very much hope to one day be a much bigger part of the inevitability.
