About a week ago, I attended a web3 Happy Hour, and–unsurprisingly–the attendees were roughly 90% men.

I ran into a friend who’s also been in the space since 2017–a big supporter of SheFi–and I thanked him for his support over the years.

We chatted for a while about his new startup, and a bit later, I asked him if his wife was into crypto. He laughed a little and said, no, she doesn’t have a clue what I do for work nor is she interested in it. 

I immediately suggested she join SheFi, and he…wasn’t sure about it.

I lightly suggested that maybe his wife would be interested in crypto if she were taught from a community of women (rather than from him).

Many SheFi members have told me that they couldn’t–or wouldn’t–learn crypto from their male partner.

I myself have struggled sometimes when Jon tries to explain something to me. He has a hard time empathizing with the beginner’s perspective:

  • Speaking in jargon

  • Not having patience

  • Not explaining the basics

Crypto is geared towards learning in isolation without considering beginners. Even the prevailing terminology in crypto is male-oriented–exclusionary and individualistic:

  • iykyk (if you know you know)

  • hfsp (have fun staying poor)

  • dyor (do your own research)

No wonder happy hours are 90% male! Crypto culture was established and cultivated by men, for men. I started SheFi because I believed there’s a better learning environment for women that focuses on community.

If this is the future of the internet–then women need to learn it.

If this is the future of the internet–then women need to shape it.

And if this is the future of the internet–then women need to own it.

This reflection inspired me to create a short Valentine’s Card series aimed at the glaring gender gap in crypto. I had a lot of fun thinking of these cheeky messages–share it with someone who might enjoy a laugh this Valentine’s Day.

Beyond Likes, Meet Interactive Social Content

Think beyond hearts and retweets. Web3 social takes the experience to a whole new level, built on decentralized technology to empower you. Imagine controlling your content and data, all while exploring innovative ways to interact with your followers.

Now you can break free from the Web2 social walled gardens. Meet Lens Protocol and Farcaster, two leading decentralized social networks paving the way. Think of them as open-source platforms where you call the shots, not some faceless algorithm.

For example, Farcaster's Frames let you unleash your creativity. Imagine:

  • Interactive content

  • Monetizing content

  • Building Deeper connections with your followers

What are people doing with these interactive features?

  • Artists are collecting tips for their NFT creations

  • Decentralized Autonomous Organizations are coordinating proposals

  • Communities are forming around shared interests

All powered by Len’s Open Actions and Farcaster’s Frames. Reminder: It's about shifting the power back to users and fostering a more transparent, user-driven online experience.

If you want to leverage these interactive social tools to connect and monetize your content more effectively, join SheFi Season 10. The next cohort starts March 4, 2024.
