In Bitcoin-related stories, we almost exclusively quote men. However, hopefully one day the situation will change. CoinTelegraph would like to congratulate all the women in the Bitcoin community during this year’s International Women’s Day!
It is often said that there are few women in the Bitcoin community , and they never get a lot of coverage. So we want to address this injustice by talking about the “women in BitcoinCT r: 8 ”, the awesome ladies who decided to work in the cryptocurrency industry.
Interviewed by CoinTelegraphCT r: 33 , these women shared their stories and told us how they got into crypto. Janina Lowisz: Thinking of the future
Janina Lowisz works at Bitnation , providing the same services traditional governments provide, from dispute resolution and insurance , to security and much more, using the blockchain .
Recently, she acted in a trailer shoot by Bitfilm Production for the GTEC Blockchain Contest .
“I first learnt about Bitcoin in January 2013 at an event about the Euro crisis,” says Janina, “I started working for Bitcoin- and later blockchain-related startups 2 years ago. Over time, hundreds of contacts have been built up, and now I am connecting everyone, organising events and helping a few startups. My longest involvement is in Bitnation, which uses the blockchain for governance services”.
She continued, “When looking at people’s backgrounds, we have the problem already there, women simply are less likely to be interested in finance, IT or politics . So there is no surprise, but it’s fine, I mean, you can’t tell people they should start to be interested in something if they’re not interested. I think in the future, when everyone knows blockchain products and uses them daily, and when there are more jobs in blockchain-related industries, then everyone, and therefore more women, will be interested”.
