Many of the most important contributions to Bitcoin (and cryptocurrency, in general) come from female developers, attorneys, journalists, etc. even though statistically women comprise a relatively small percentage of "crypto" users and contributors, according to the best available data.

For this episode, Soona Amhaz joins me to chat with Desiree Dickerson about her work as the Blockchain & Digital Currency Fellow at Women for Women and her opinions on the diversity in the cryptocurrency space.

During our conversation, we mention Desiree’s latest article for Philanthropy Journal (https://pj.news.chass.ncsu.edu/2018/03/26/what-nonprofits-need-to-know-about-blockchain-humanitarian-use-cases/) and this medium post (https://medium.com/@dickerson_des/women-in-the-woodwork-blockchain-crypto-9acb226d632c) on women building blockchains and other “crypto” projects.
