"A lot of women are lobbyists, but not for their own career" - Hedwige Nuyens This poignant quote from a recent 'Women in Crypto for Boards' event in London is such an important thing to consider. While there are so many talented women in the industry who can do and achieve incredible things, sometimes due to outdated societal norms and disparity in the workplace, it's not always been possible for these people to reach the heights they otherwise should. As the Chair of European Women on Boards, Hedwige has a unique insight into the hiring practices and recruitment methods used to place candidates, and the need for talented women to showcase themselves more effectively so that they aren't overlooked. At our event, she gave great advice on how to ensure that you can be seen and heard, how to get Board ready, and we are excited to have Hedwige back as a speaker at our event in London next week! Crypto is still in its infancy, and has a long way to get yet, but we are at a critical time in which we can ensure that, moving forward, equality and representation at all levels is seen and utilized in the best ways. With our initiatives and events, we are ensuring that women are heard, and are given the tools and opportunities to reach Board level, and make those much needed differences. Consider joining us at one of our future events, and we would always be happy to hear your suggestions too, so please do get in touch if you'd like more information. #WomenInCrypto #DiversityAndInclusion #WomenInLeadership #CryptoCommunity #WomenOnBoards #CryptoCurrency #BoardDiversity

Happy International Women's Day to all the incredible women around the world! Today, we honour your resilience, achievements, and the diverse perspectives you bring to every field, including the exciting realm of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. While our industry has been predominantly male-dominated, we're witnessing a promising shift towards greater gender diversity. More and more women are stepping into the crypto space, bringing fresh insights and driving innovation. Leaders like Laura Shin, a writer, crypto journalist, and host of the Unchained Crypto podcast, Cathie Wood, the founder and CEO of Ark Invest, Kathleen Breitman, the CEO of Dynamic Ledger Solutions, Elizabeth Stark, the co-founder and CEO of Lightning Labs, are reshaping perceptions and illustrating the profound impact women can have in crypto. On the regulatory front, we have pro-crypto Senator Cynthia Lummis and crypto-friendly SEC commissioner Hester Pierce leading the way. These are just a few examples of women who are pioneering change and inspiring others to explore the potential of blockchain technology. At CoinsPaid, we are immensely proud of our talented female team members. Alesya Sypalo, our PR & Communications Lead; Mariia Akulenko, ex Head of Legal and Compliance; and Susanna Bondarenko, our Lead Content Manager, were recognized in the 2023 Rising Women in Crypto Longlist by Wirex. But today, our message extends beyond the boundaries of our industry. We celebrate every woman — your strength, intelligence, and creativity enrich all areas of life, from technology to art, science, education, and beyond. Your potential is limitless! Let's continue to uplift and support one another, breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes. Together, we can create a world where every woman's contributions are recognised and celebrated, not just today, but every day. Here's to the women who dream big, lead with courage, and pave the way for others. Your brilliance and determination are changing the world. Cheers to you, today and every day! 🥂 #InternationalWomensDay #Empowerment #InnovationForAll

Any ideas Women in Web3? Thanks Wan Wei, Soh for sharing your research

💡 Be(In)Crypto created a list of the most influential females in the crypto space. Here are 86 impressive profiles from various areas of crypto tech, marketing, branding, or sales https://lnkd.in/exx5CwnS 👸 I am very proud to be one of them. What is my story here: The moment of being the only female in DevOps or crypto venues presents an extra challenge to establish oneself as the voice of the topic. I had to embrace my true self, not conforming to a male role or quitting. I will never give up, as the future me is counting on my perseverance. These moments will occur for many of us, but with proper cross-national, gender, or age education and role modeling, we can create a ramp-up stage for those who need it most. 🦄 And who are the unicorns you should look up to? Here are some of them: ▫ Salama Belghali ( https://lnkd.in/ek6-RWvf) ▫ Alice A. (https://lnkd.in/eZYeZmkb) ▫ Megan Murray (https://lnkd.in/ezk5UKC5) ▫ Kinga Pilat (https://lnkd.in/e2DAsAGi) ▫ Phoebe Beigbeder (https://lnkd.in/efYp77Jb) ▫ Dr. Demelza Hays (https://lnkd.in/eQX9M6wp) Let's continue to support each other, celebrate success, and foster an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Here's to a future in crypto where talent knows no boundaries and diversity is embraced. #CryptoCommunity #Innovation 🚀🌟

It's fair to say I'm not frequently asked to speak on panels like my OG crypto friend Maurício Magaldi (who has also taken this pledge), but notwithstanding I think it's an important initiative, which is why I'm happy to join the Association for Women in Cryptocurrency’s male ally pledge to not speak on or moderate a MANEL -- i.e. a panel exclusively populated by men. I spent over a decade producing and organising sponsorship for major international business-to-government (B2G) events. They were often high profile, with heads of state, ministers, chief execs and other VIPs in attendance. In the end I got bored to tears with all the talk shops, and all the tedious plenary sessions, invariably called something like "Telecommunications in Africa: Challenges for Businesses and Governments" (the "challenges for businesses and governments" bit was a mainstay at the end of almost every plenary title). I was losing the will to get out of bed in the morning -- hence my pivot into the crypto space! Looking back, the real reason I lost interest in these talk shops was not the stale plenary + parallel session formats -- although they were dull as dishwater. It was because there were almost no women involved in any of the events! I don't want to see that happen again in the world of crypto and Web3. The digital asset space is already substantially enriched by having captured the imagination of women globally. And I think we need to double down on that early promise -- and ensure that we're creating something much more balanced in comparison to TradFi or Web 2.0. And as a son/brother/friend, I strongly support this mission to ensure that the future of digital finance and innovation builds equality for women in a way that has not been done in the past. So, if you're a man who is invited to speak more frequently than I am on crypto-related “manels”, I do hope you’ll consider joining me in taking this pledge!

We are thrilled to share the success of our first FoundHERs & FundHERs event, held in partnership with NaviAI Inc. and Key To Web3 during the Consensus conference in Austin – the last one in this vibrant city! 📈 Despite women owning and operating 40% of businesses in the US, they receive only 2% of venture funding. This obvious issue brought together over 100 passionate individuals for a powerful discussion. 💼 Our Gracious Event Sponsors: Unlock Inc, Blockchain Foundation, Unstoppable Domains, & Wursta. 🎤 Our Esteemed Panelists: Tina Dai, Sandy Carter, Deanna Dial Wursta, & Maika Isogawa These incredible leaders, including two investors and two founders, shared their insights on the challenges, opportunities, and experiences faced by women in the industry. Key Takeaways: 1. Community Building: If you don’t find a community that fits you, create one. Your initiative can inspire and connect others. 2. Prioritizing Self-Care: Recognize that no one is at their 100% best every day. It’s okay to pause and take care of yourself when needed. 3. Seizing Opportunities: Being in the right place at the right time, and being open to new opportunities, can be game-changing. Step outside your comfort zone. 4. Supporting Each Other: Creating opportunities to connect or highlight people in your network. Open doors for others, and doors will open for you in return. 🌟 Upcoming Events: We are literally taking this show on the road to continue this conversation at other crypto conferences this year. Join Megan Murray, Amber Welch, and Sarah Otsuki for opportunities to participate in the discussion: 🤠 BTC Nashville (Bitcoin Inc.) 🏔 ETH Toronto/Futurist Conference (Untraceable Events) ⛷ Permissionless in SLC Utah (Blockworks) 🍷 Web Summit Lisbon (Web Summit) Get Involved! We are currently seeking: ❕ Venues for each of the above events (our biggest need) ❕ Sponsors (low-cost, high visibility) ❕ Investors and Founders for each panel (topics will vary slightly for each event) If you’re interested in being part of this movement, please reach out to us. Together, we can drive change and create more opportunities for women in the venture space and female founders alike. 💖👯♀️⛓ #WomenInTech #VentureCapital #CommunityBuilding #SelfCare #Opportunities #CryptoConferences #FoundHERsFundHERs

“If it’s not a hell YES, it’s a NO” — Have you ever been in lukewarm situations? 📍Scenarios like situationships, defined as romantic or sexual relationships that are not considered to be formal or established; 📍 A job that you feel meh about and are only staying on for the paycheck and familiarity, and 📍 So-called “friends” who either don’t add value to your life, or/and you don’t enjoy being with. This weekend has been rather emotionally tough for me, because I was dealing with grief. And grief comes in waves and hit especially hard when you don’t expect it to. For my case it hit hard again this weekend, 20 months later. I broke down multiple times and after feeling so tired crying for so long, got tired of my own BS. And made a decision to include as much as possible, only “Hell YES” people and items in my life. So, here is a post talking about one of the “HELL YES” items. I’ve mentioned prior that this year, I want to focus on normalizing women’s money making in crypto. Why? Because women deserve to make a lot of money in the crypto space, and this bull market is the best opportunity for us ladies to do really well financially and make huge impact. I’m sick and tired of the “empowerment” narrative by both men and women that focuses solely on visibility, without providing a practical approach to the WHAT and HOW women can make more money in crypto. Visibility is indeed important, but without talking about wealth building, it’s akin to inviting special guests to your table and not serving them dinner. In other words, a PR campaign. If your answer to normalizing women making and building wealth in crypto is a “HELL YES”, I invite you to join the SI HER Summit on 22nd Feb, where I will be speaking about how to get us all to normalize women money making in crypto.
