Women to Follow in the NFT and Web3 Space – 2023

We just came off of Miami NFT Week and, while this year was a smaller attendance than last year, it was great to see the turnout of people who truly get the benefits of NFTs, DAOs, Blockchain and Crypto. And sadly, men are still dominating this space. While we at Bosstrack are not yet engaged in the Web3 space, we do want to provide you an updated list of the women to follow if you want to learn more about Web3.

Web3, NFTs, DAOs, Blockchain, Crypto – it all sounds geeky, foreign, and technical. And we all hear the negative news or commentary – where someone bought an NFT for millions and now it’s worthless, or how Bitcoin is down in value and it’s all a scam, or the overshadowing of AI and reports of everyone moving their focus over to AI. But there are so many practical applications (which you’ll understand once you start digging into it). Ralph Lauren just started accepting Bitcoin at it’s store in Miami, large companies like Nike , Tiffany and Gucci are attributing millions of dollars to Web3 revenue, charities are accepting digital currency as contributions, etc, etc. It is becoming mainstream at a rapid pace and it’s time to become part of the movement! So pass this article along to all of the women you know!

If you only have time for a few, we highlighted the women who are definite follows with an asterisk (*).

Take your time to understand the crypto, blockchain, and NFT spaces before you invest in a project or NFT.
