Cryptocurrencies never lose their popularity, especially between the powerful people in the world. So many of them still “dig” cryptocurrencies, and the surprise comes when we realize that there are a lot of popular women entrepreneurs who are real leaders in the world of Bitcoin and blockchain, and in many other similar currencies.
As we already know, cryptocurrencies are a virtual, digital tokens, and they can be “found” using the blockchain cryptography. They aren’t part of any bank or monetary system, and since their first appearance, there are a lot of ethical questions about them, but we won’t talk about that in this article, because our focus is the women in this industry. The people that maintain and operate these networks are named cryptocurrency miners.

Sometimes, new miners and investors are not sure if the cryptocurrency trading is safe and legit, or they still need to learn a lot about this field. They are afraid that there are scams on the crypto market, so they need help to find safe auto trading platforms. Auto trading platforms use artificial intelligence and high-profile algorithms to identify only profitable trades, says immediate-bitcoins.com, so the potential miners know they are safe in cryptocurrency space.
So many women entrepreneurs overcame the social stigma (and the fear of scams) that they cannot be included in this system, and they became leading names in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. Many of them build applications and platforms that are easy to use. Some of them launched startup companies, and also, are active members of the so-called cryptocurrency society. We don’t need to mention that the number of women present in cryptocurrency and blockchain is lower than men’s, but there are remarkable examples of successful ladies who shake the blockchain space.
Here are some of them:

All of the names mentioned above (and there are a lot more) are real proof that the women can have leading roles in “male” jobs. Their stories show that every woman who is passionate about something, can make a big impact by getting involved in the fields that are still dominated by the men.
Blockchain still impacts so many industries and fields, and it’s really normal for women to show some interest and to consider to play a significant role in the cryptocurrency revolution. The blockchain industry requires knowledge, maturity, talents and, of course, passion for working and for learning new things.
This article is our way to honor all of these brave women, who were not afraid to overcome the social doubts and start their long path to the success in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry. The good news is that the list of women experts in cryptocurrency is getting bigger and bigger every day.
