RE: Women in blockchain and cryptocurrency

in #steemit7 years ago

Awesome post @rumble! I suppose women are less prone to making "risky" decisions. People are always surprised when they hear that I am the one that convinced my Husband to invest in crypto, and ill be honest he doesnt really know about it. And yet, some our friends talk to him about it right in front of me, like I'm not there. I had to interrupt and say "he doesnt know anything, I am the one that knows about crypto!" lol

Sort:  

Haha, yeah that is not the status quo for sure. I'm sure you handled it really well though. I really do think that it is awesome to see more women getting involved in this space. There is risk to investing in crypto but in can be handled in a responsible way. Beyond investing there are plenty of ways to be involved in this space and still benefit from it . There is no risk to using Steemit and as more opportunities like this site arise those here now will be in the best position.

So when I see things like that the North American Bitcoin Conference only had three women speakers onstage out of more than 80 speakers and then hosted its after party at a strip club it really bothers me. There really needs to be a push to educate woman on this stuff and to put the spot light on the ones that are already doing amazing things. We need to encourage more to enter this space.

Yes, I agree! Although its kind of hard to get anyone encouraged in this space right now..considering the state of the market! Lol
