A conference dedicated to raising awareness among women about cryptocurrencies is scheduled to take place in the Russian capital this month. Speakers at the event, also women, will share practical information on cryptos, blockchain technologies and investment opportunities. The event will be broadcast live in 74 countries.
The "Crypto Conference for Women" will be held from April 28 to 29 at the Zolotoe Koltso Hotel in Moscow, where experts and entrepreneurs will tell the participants what the cryptocurrency is and how it works. 24 women speakers will share tips on how to start with an initial investment and recommendations on storage options. The latest developments in the world of cryptography will be presented to the audience, along with other useful information.
An advanced course has been prepared for attendees with previous experience in blockchain technologies, initial coin offers (ICO) or other projects related to cryptography. Your program is designed to increase your knowledge to a more professional level. Anastasia Pilipchuk, founder of Crypto Lady Association and organizer of the event, told Bitnovosti:
"Women can earn through cryptocurrencies much easier than it seems at first glance. The cryptocurrency is simply made for women. "
The invited professors intend to discuss the cryptographic perspectives in Russia during the next two years. They will be determined to a large extent by legislation currently under review in the Russian parliament. Two bills have been submitted in the State Duma. It is expected that one of the bills, "On digital financial assets", legalize the ICO and the cryptocurrency mining in the country. The second is supposed to regulate the use of cryptocurrencies in payments, and also modifies the civil code to protect the interests and rights of investors.
Only 7% of Russian cryptography users are women. In Russia, cryptocurrencies like bitcoin have enjoyed increasing popularity in recent months and years. According to the Russian Association of Cryptocurrency and Blockchain (RACIB), ICOs with Russian participation represent 10% of the global market. The sales of tokens made by Russian projects have attracted $ 310 million in 2017, according to a report published in January.
More and more Russians are using cryptocurrencies and according to a new survey, 12% of them admit that crypts are their main source of income. The study, however, also indicated that Russian women are not equally involved in cryptoeconomics: only 7% of respondents who use cryptocurrencies are women. Even the group of minor users is larger: 10%.
The leading Russian experts hope to change the status quo with their participation in the cryptography conference. Among them are Elina Sidorenko, head of the interdepartmental working group of the Duma in charge of evaluating cryptocurrencies, and Nadejda Surova, member of the council of parliamentary experts on cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies.
More than 20 representatives of the cryptographic sector and businessmen have been invited to share their experience. The conference will be broadcast live in 74 countries around the world, organizers said. Everyone is welcome to the event, even men.
