I told my female coworkers about BTC in October, clearly explaining the trends and the risks, and encouraging them to play with their pocket money. They were mildly interested. In November I told them about it again; their answer was "it's too risky". In December I cashed out earning a few thousands. I told them about it, and their answer was "good for you". It was clear they are averse to risk. But is it necessarily a bad thing? I have some male friends who lost huge amounts of money, and arriving late to the party is quite risky anyway. My female coworkers just continue living normally, without worrying their savings lose value day by day.
