  • 00:00SCARLET: THE DIGITAL CURRENCY WORLD MAYBE BE GETTING MORE INCLUSIVE. I SAT DOWN WITH ELIZABETH STARK, OF LIGHTNING LABS, A CRYPTOCURRENCY START UP. I ASKED WOMEN -- I ASKED WHERE WOMEN ARE MOST PROMINENT. > > THERE ARE A LOT OF GREAT WOMEN IN THE CRYPTOCURRENCY INDUSTRY. AT M.I.T., BUILDING CORE ETHICS OF THE PROTOCOL. THERE ARE A LOT THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THE TRADING ASPECT AND IN THE INVESTING ASPECT AS WELL. SCARLET: THE PEOPLE WHO DON ' T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT GET TO INTERACT AND HEAR FROM THEM. > > PEOPLE LOVE TWITTER. THERE ARE A LOT OF WEIGHT -- WOMEN ON TWITTER CONSTANTLY TWEETING AND BRINGING REAL VALUE BY DOING SO. > > HOW WE TRANSACT, DO YOU SEE AN INCREASING NUMBER OF WOMEN FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR, PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS GETTING A CHANCE TO HELP BUILD THIS WORLD? WHAT ' S ONE THING THAT IS FASCINATING IS THAT IT IS A GLOBAL PHENOMENON. WE ARE COLLABORATING FROM PEOPLE FROM SOUTH AMERICA, EUROPE, ASIA, FROM ALL OVER. IT IS NOT JUST IN SILICON VALLEY. YOU GET PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES, DIFFERENT NEEDS FOR THE TECHNOLOGY WHICH IS PART OF WHAT MAKES IT GREAT. SCARLET: DO YOU WORRY IF THERE IS A POP , WOMEN WILL SOMEHOW GET BLAMED FOR THEIR ROLE HELPING TO BUILD IT UP? > > NO. THE GREAT THING IS BLOCKCHAIN ' S HAVE NOT BEEN AROUND FOR A DECADE YET. IT IS VERY NEW. THE WOMAN GETTING INVOLVED ARE STARTING THEIR OWN PROJECTS AND DOING IT THEMSELVES. THEY ARE NOT IN A COMPANY THAT IS FAILING, THEY ARE STARTING THEIR OWN THING. SCARLET: BUT THEY ARE HELPING TO FUEL THIS BUBBLE. A LOT OF PEOPLE STILL DON ' T HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF IT. ARE THEY MORE VULNERABLE TO BEING TARGETED WHEN IT DOESN ' T WORK OUT? > > ONE PERSON ' S BUBBLE IS ANOTHER PERSONS UPSWING. ONE THING WE HAVE SEEN IS THAT IT IS RESONATING WITH MILLENNIAL ' S. SQUARE WAS THE FIRST PUBLIC COMPANY TO SELL BITCOIN TO DIGITALLY CONNECTED USER BASE. THAT IS A MORE DIVERSE GROUP. I DON ' T SEE WOMEN ARE GOING TO BE THE BLAME. THEY ARE BUILDING THE FUTURE. SCARLET: I CAN THINK OF A HANDFUL OF SUCCESSFUL MEN WHO FOUNDED GREAT SUCCESS. WHETHER IT IS BILL GATES, MARK ZUCKERBERG, BUT I CAN ' T THINK OF ANY WOMEN WHO HAVE DONE THAT, BEEN ABLE TO START TRENDS WITHOUT THOSE CREDENTIALS? IS THE BAR SET HIGHER? > > I DO KNOW OF SOME WOMEN WHO NOW ENGINEERS IN THIS COMMUNITY. IT DEPENDS ON THE INDIVIDUAL AND WHAT MAKES THE MOST SENSE FOR THEM. MAYBE THEY LEARNED SKILLS ON THEIR OWN. THERE IS A DEVELOPER,, ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOOK FOR IS NOT CREDENTIALS. IT IS WHAT YOUR POTENTIAL IS TO BUILD. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO DO IN THE PAST. I HAVE HIRED PEOPLE, I DON ' T EVEN KNOW WHERE THEY WENT TO COLLEGE. THAT IS NOT TO SAY EDUCATION CAN ' T BE BENEFICIAL. WE HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH DEGREES BUT IT DEPENDS ON THE INDIVIDUAL AND WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT MAKES THE MOST SENSE FOR THEM. SCARLET: COMING UP, LAWMAKERS
