Bizarrely, and to my utter surprise (as someone who has worked in tech all my adult life and recently decided to try crypto) I think there are more women in crypto than any other tech field I've been in.

In the NFT field (as in people working in it, not holders) I'd say in some cases it would approach 50% female/male.



Yep, crypto (currency) has a MUCH better gender and diversity balance than most of the rest of tech.

Which is deeply funny, because a lot of the "rest of tech" likes to slam it as a "white dudes only" club.

I don't think this is true - at least I haven't heard that criticism in particular. In the NFT world the Vice (I think?) where they went to the BAYC party pointed out how it sort of felt like weird mix of wannabe rap artists, scam artists and tupperware sales parties.

The NFT world is very racially diverse. DeFi does run white/Asian I guess.


Do you mean NFT tech people, or artists trying to make money from NFT connected to their art?

Because the artists are also in the art scene, which is a much nicer scene to get into


Both.

I think arts administration has a large proportion of female workers, some of whom now run NFT projects
