Happy International Women's Day! Leaders share their experiences in crypto

The International Women's Day theme this year is #BreakTheBias, so Cointelegraph spoke to 10 leaders in the blockchain industry about their experiences as women in Web3 and gathered their advice. From discussing barriers to entry to nonfungible tokens and role models, the following comments are from women in the U.S., Latin America, Europe and Asia. 

When asked what the current barriers to entry that women may face when considering careers in crypto, Dr. Cagla Gul Senkardes, Co-founder of the Istanbul Blockchain Women Association and lecturer at Istanbul Bilgi University, flatly answered "bias."

Speaking from a more academic point of view, Senkardes sees gender bias and culturally constructed ideologies in the context of cryptofeminism, the concept of having to choose between adhering to customary expectations for women and carving out novel paths within crypto, doing none or both.

Jackie Rose, Head of Institutional Business Development at Blockchain.com shared a similar sentiment about confusing "lingo" or buzz words like "meme coin" or "Web3" that sound aptly cryptic and potentially detract someone from further investigation. Hailing from a traditional finance background, Rose found crypto to be a more "welcoming environment" where her female colleagues became "invaluable resources."

A more common answer to possible barriers among the women interviewed was a lack of finance and tech education, specialized skills or the sometimes requisite years of experience. Daniela Henao Moreno, COO of Defy Trends, a Miami-based women-led startup, pointed out that there is even a lack of access to job postings because many jobs in crypto tend to be made known via Telegram or word of mouth, rather than posted to popular job boards and
