Women In Blockchain And Crypto: How To Tackle Gender Inequality

Recently, there has been a push to get more women involved in blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.

Initiatives like Mogul's "Women in Crypto" events and organizations like the Women in Blockchain Foundation have been making an effort to get more women involved in the blockchain and crypto space.

So what exactly do the participation statistics reveal, and what could women do to get more involved in the emerging blockchain and cryptocurrency industries?

With more blockchain related companies going into business the demand for developers, project managers, customer support, lawyers, web designers and many other careers could spawn from companies needing to fill blockchain related roles in their organization.

"Every crypto investment fund should also be actively seeking to invest in female led blockchain companies, governments grants should be given to incentivize women to start blockchain projects, and on a personal level, both men and women who are already involved in blockchain should share their knowledge and mentor women who are new to the space."

Allie Mullen, head of global marketing at the women-focused technology platform Mogul told Cointelegraph that for more women to get involved and invested in blockchain and cryptocurrencies it is important to increase awareness and education.

The comments from Styles and Mullen suggest that if women are interested in getting invested and involved in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industries, building a knowledge base in both industries is beneficial.

Becoming more acquainted and expert could make women well rounded when it comes to blockchain and cryptocurrency, and could put them in a position that leads to job opportunities.

For the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry to really advance and be the best it could possible be, the women and their ideas could be of great value.

That is why we need to have more women sitting at the table and contributing to - and also starting - the blockchain and crypto conversations.
