A Woman in a "Bro Space"
Sara Drakeley, CEO of MobileCoin, recently sat down with Elisha Owusu Akyaw on Hashing It Out to discuss her transition from working on animated films at Disney to entering the cryptocurrency space. As a woman in a male-dominated industry, Drakeley shares her experiences and addresses the need for inclusiveness and accommodation for women, especially those who are also mothers.
The MobileCoin Project
Drakeley also sheds light on what MobileCoin is building. The company aims to combine the convenience and affordability of cryptocurrency payments with the security of encrypted messaging platforms. By leveraging the popularity of apps like Signal, MobileCoin aims to drive wider adoption of cryptocurrencies.
Regulations Will Catch Up
According to Drakeley, the slow progress of cryptocurrency regulations can be attributed to the lack of widespread adoption for payments. However, she believes that once cryptocurrencies become more mainstream, regulators will step in to protect consumers. Comparing it to the evolution of data privacy on the web, Drakeley is confident that regulations will catch up with the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies.
