This month for International Women’s Day, the Global Coin Report interviewed several leading women about blockchain and cryptocurrency—specifically, how women can succeed in this new and growing space.
“The secret to my success is that I take a lot of risks,” says our founder, Anu Bhardwaj. She also shares insights about how to get started in cryptocurrency, learning more, and building confidence.
Click through to read what she and other women influencers have to say about investing taking risks; as well as building your network, the importance of authenticity, knowing your worth, and more.
Of all the areas in tech right now, blockchain—the technology behind Bitcoin, Ethereum and countless other disruptive new applications—offers the best hope for true gender equality. It is a new, young community with enormous momentum, fostering an ethos of inclusion, decentralized authority, wealth, and knowledge sharing and a level playing field for all.
Whilst women are still underrepresented in blockchain and horror stories like the infamous North American Bitcoin Conference afterparty in a Miami strip club do occasionally emerge, there is a genuine feeling in the community that there is still time to nip this in the bud and build an industry rooted in gender equality.
In fact, blockchain is crying out for brilliant, fearless women to join the revolution. Whether at the technology level or in investing, marketing or business development. There are already a significant number of networking groups dedicated to educating and encouraging women to participate. My own company, CryptoFriends, is dedicating one of the two days of our blockchain summit at this year’s SXSW to women in blockchain with an event called ‘New Girls on the Block.’
