The Blockchain girl from Korea
Hello to Medium users! My name is Erica, the blockchain newbie from Seoul, Korea. I currently work with a highly renowned blockchain expert in Seoul — although he wishes to be under the radar, I will inevitably have to talk a bit about him.
I will start my own Medium blog which mainly deals with my life in the blockchain industry in Korea. People I meet and projects I touch upon are those that matter in the Korean market, and I am currently in the center of the blockchain talk in South Korea. Of course, some posts will be casual, talking randomly about my personal interests .
As there are few (close to zero) female players in the blockchain industry, I consider myself a rare breed here. But I believe I can therefore be a breath of fresh air. I come from a IR background, with some experience in banking, telecommunications, and English education. Whereas the blockchain industry is considered to have a ridiculously difficult learning curve due to technological barriers ( I know, trust me), I bravely entered the industry with a strong belief that I can also add value and become an asset in the field even without knowledge in programming.
The Blockchain technology will affect every field, and issues related to governance and security are crucial. So anyone with passion and interest can join me and follow my journey in becoming ‘someone’ from ‘nobody’ in the blockchain industry.
So welcome, and hope you enjoy my posts! ☺
I look so happy in this photo.. probably because it was during my one-week vacation to California last month (it was my first time visiting Stanford 6 years after graduation). I miss the Bay Area so much! Anyway, hello to all.
