"Satoshi is female!"
On May 13, that's how Carolyn Maloney, New York Congresswoman rallied the crowd at the "Women on the Block" occasion in Brooklyn, New York, where over 300 people gathered to talk about blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. The occurrence comes at time of tension within the cryptocurrency community, while blockchain stars like Lightning Labs CEO Elizabeth Stark are urging interviewers to end asking what it is like to be a woman in crypto.
"Quit marginalizing and write concerning the awesome work that women are doing," Stark tweeted in February.
However, to the ladies at the occasion, it's less about establishing a divide and more about a greet reprieve from the perennial dispute of being treated like a cryptocurrency unicorn, when they merely want to discuss applications and use cases.
