027: MyEtherWallet’s Co-Founder–Taylor Monahan–Calls for More Women in Crypto

Blockchain Innovation: Interviewing The Brightest Minds In Blockchain

Taylor Monahan is the Co-Founder of MyEtherWallet, one of the most popular tools of choice for crypto-investors participating in ICOs on the Ethereum Blockchain.

Taylor recently launched a new venture – MyCrypto – an open-source, client-side tool for generating Ether wallets, handling ERC-20 tokens, and interacting with the Blockchain more easily.

In this episode, Taylor and I discuss:

• How MyEtherWallet came to be
• The absence of women in Crypto, and why this technology cannot go mainstream without women
• James Damore, the Google Engineer who got fired for his controversial memo on women’s suitability for engineering jobs (and what that has to do with the UFC and Ronda Rousey – yes, there is a connection)
• Taylor’s description of what the ideal ICO would look like
• Her prediction for ICOs over the next decade (hint: it’s not what you would think)
