Bitcoin is an interesting environment in which one might discuss the gender ratio.

On one hand, crypto-currency in general is a relatively new phenomenon -- it seems unlikely that there could be a well-established gender bias in the community, given its youth.

On the other hand, perhaps Bitcoin, etc. have inherited the apparent male-dominated attributes of the tech scene from which they emerged?

It definitely has. At least in the NYC Bitcoin scene there is rarely a female presence at any of the meetups/events/etc...
