Crypto industry offers women better career opportunities thanks to home office



 Saro McKenna, a co-founder of the NFT game Alien World and the CEO of blockchain consultancy Dacoco, tells Cointelegraph what her personal views and experiences are on the issue of equality in the crypto space.


McKenna, who has worked in other male-dominated industries, first notes that the crypto industry as a whole is actually "quite diverse." The people in blockchain and crypto come from a wide variety of backgrounds, which means that they could bring in many “mixed perspectives and points of view”, as the expert says.


According to McKenna, the opportunities that the crypto industry offers in particular in terms of working from home is a big plus that gives women in the sector the opportunity to advance their careers while taking care of the family at the same time. To that end, she states:


"Given that children are still primarily cared for by women, this added flexibility means they don't have to put their careers on hold temporarily and their work experience doesn't suffer because they have children."

McKenna also sees the crypto industry as a field in which specialists who are less extroverted can flourish, because the focus in blockchain projects is more on expertise and ability. Accordingly, it is all the more possible for introverts to “let their work speak for itself”.


"Because the focus in the crypto industry is more on expertise and ability, I think the barriers to entry are lower," says the expert. Nevertheless, it would still take “the courage to get involved”. Overall, McKenna definitely sees the industry as "super open" to everyone.


When asked for her opinion on the Metaverse, the Dacoco CEO replies that the crypto community should strive to make the virtual world a "safe space", especially for women and children. While there is no physical danger, McKenna sees dangers of their own lurking in the Metaverse:


"The Metaverse is a social environment where people can distort their real identities, and women and children need special protection here."

In this context, she concludes by emphasizing that innovation should always be aimed at “what really matters”, namely people.


Meanwhile, prominent celebrity investor and crypto advocate Tim Draper believes women will be the driving force behind Bitcoin ( BTC )’s next big record run. Accordingly, women in crypto not only play a key role as workers, but also as investors in the future.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
