Jonha Richman is firmly convinced that people in blockchain and cryptocurrency should be judged for their talent – and not for their connections or gender.
She is an entrepreneur, CMO, consultant and influencer blockchain who claims to thrive by helping large companies get the attention they deserve – helping them identify their unique story and telling them which narrative to focus on.
Previously he worked with Unilever, Ikea, Sony Pictures and OCBC Bank and with the creators Leo Burnett, Media Contacts and VML Qais.
Main speaker
He is a keynote speaker and mentor in Google Business Group, Startup Weekend and conferences around the world. His work has been presented in numerous publications. He is part of the advisory committee of a number of blockchain companies.
In 2017, she was recognized as one of the top 10 women in the crypt.
It's been six years since one of his RebelMouse colleagues introduced them to Bitcoin. "I did a little research when there was not much information written about Bitcoin and its underlying blockchain technology," he says.
"I was convinced that if we were to experience another imminent financial crisis, people who normally do not have access or feel they have missed the board on the usual hedges like gold and silver, will probably turn to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies."
Brain teasers
He says he looks at Mike Novogratz "for his constant commitment to bringing in industry actors" to Anthony Pompliano "for driving out myths about bitcoin and providing objective updates to prevent people from speculating and focusing on crucial numbers."
It also raises to Rachel Wolfson "for its ability to sift the noise and to highlight interesting projects and their background stories".
On diversity – or lack of – in space, he reflects: "I look forward to the day when we will all be recognized according to our talents and merits, regardless of race or gender".
On the price fluctuations of recent weeks, he says: "Every industry will always have speculators, shapers and market shakers.Technology also has its dotcom bubble, so it is quite normal for the blockchain to undergo a similar cycle.
"The market and the whole industry have an interesting way to control themselves, while the people involved tend to become wiser, projects that do not necessarily deserve the attention and the money of their investors are unpacked, and it is hoped that the industry will get rid of such garbage projects and have more time to focus on building products and services of great impact ".
Regulations
Regulation is necessary, he says: "I think that legitimate projects that aim for a scalable uptake would have no problem working hand in hand with lawmakers who simply want to protect public safety."
He says that we are still "very far from a mature and stable blockchain environment", adding: "I think that more and more unsustainable projects [from the get-go] they are starting to vanish means that there will be more room for legitimate projects with greater impact.
"We will see more and more governments become clearer about their position on cryptocurrencies, while blockchain and its expanding use cases will be embraced not only by consumers, but also by the governments themselves that are trying to simplify their internal processes" .
His thoughts on Initial Coin Offerings that have had little publicity, is that a report by Ernst & Young has suggested that $ 3.7 billion of ICO funds be "lost or stolen".
"Or these companies were premeditating the move, or they were not able to provide the technology that their investors expect from them," he says.
Advertising stunts
"In both cases it is crucial that, in order for new projects to gain public trust again, projects must do much more than just advertising stunts and focus on building a business and value before trying to collect other funds.
"A new and interesting option for established companies to raise funds is through security token (STO) offers where companies collect money or create an investment offer in which stocks, bonds or real assets are tokenised and put on blockchain.
"This means that investors will no longer have to hold their breath and wait for a project to accumulate value, but whatever the money raised is tied to the valuation of an existing asset".
When she was the first head of the blockchain, she used her work experience with hypergrowth technology companies to leverage her marketing and public relations skills.
Disruption
"As I learn more about the industry and its various use cases, I could not help but immerse myself and understand that there is so much more to learn," he says. "Almost all the sectors that currently have expensive and redundant processes can finally be interrupted by blockchain".
He admits that "it will not be an easy road to travel with all the current technical limits", but it is feasible. In the same way that early adopters did not give up on the Internet before, current limitations should not really prevent the industry from pursuing all potential applications in various industries.
He always wanted to be a lawyer, but he was told in the beginning that he had a talent for finding a "great story in some of the most boring articles" and selling them. She was allowed to access computers in her high school library in exchange for help keeping the area tidy. "This immediately opened my eyes to the potential of the web," he explains, "when almost every website was a pager with fun characters and animations."
Equal rights
The lack of women in the blockchain is not just about the lack of interest, he maintains. "In some countries, some women still do not have the same rights as men – for example, in Saudi Arabia, women are still not allowed to have their bank accounts.
"Usually, it's a problem of not necessarily having enough visibility or access to opportunities." Interestingly, compared to other sectors, the blockchain seems to gradually open up and level the playing field for both sexes. "
He told young women "identify your key skills and what exactly you bring to the table." Continue to exploit and develop those skills so that you become more confident about your skills and place in the industry. "
She warns: "There will always be people who are mining and will try to minimize the value and success." But with inner security "you will not let these distractions and detractors prevent you from getting the best you can".
Meritocracy
Every society believes, it needs to be racial and gender in which "meritocracy must be the only basis for opportunities – not just their status or existing connections".
