The gist:
To many, “cryptocurrency is about money and nothing else — but money and social issues are inseparable considerations when viewed from a macro scale,” and obvious when we look at the devastation to our economy, from the pandemic.
De-centralizing access to finance and disrupting the status quo, “to open new opportunities for people that are otherwise excluded” is a core value of blockchain and crypto-currency, as is its “trend toward inclusion.”
Aubrey Strobel, Head of Communications for Lolli, eloquently states that “The belief in the crypto world has long been that we are changing the world – we are replacing traditionally centralized, closed systems that keep the great majority of the world’s population from meaningfully participating in or benefitting from the financial industry.”
It’s no wonder then, that more womxn are being attracted to crypto. Both women who, “are interested in finance and the applications that allow them to have more autonomy of their money,” and the womxn who are entering their leadership positions.
Strobel has some advice for those womxn, interested in the industry.
“First, you are needed. Second, you are wanted. It’s exciting to be a woman in crypto. Other women, in particular, are very supportive, and the entire community is excited to welcome new players who are supporting the industry’s growth.”
We believe that womxn are naturally drawn to world-changing ideas—and it’s this kind of open-source innovation that will allow womxn to operate outside of the status quo, where they can fully use and are fully appreciated for their unique talents and expertise.
