The Feedback Loop Episode 4: Web3 Advocacy with Sheila Warren
In this episode of The Feedback Loop, we sat down with Sheila Warren, Harvard lawyer, innovation advocate, and blockchain advisor among other things.
The seasoned lawyer and crypto policy advocate took us through her wealth of experience working to normalize crypto whether through joining the OECD’s Blockchain Expert Policy Advisory board or founding the blockchain digital assets team at the forum. Drawing on years of experience across policymaking, lobbying and advocacy, Warren shares her insights on the structural barriers to crypto adoption, highlighting her social anthropological approach to problem-solving in communities and advocating for empowerment, agency and education, with caveats and warnings for historically excluded segments of society.
Through discussions around her work with the DeFi Education Fund, Warren delved into the DEF footprint in rising markets like Africa and MENA as well as how they are laying the groundwork for future generations by creating an infrastructure that gives people the opportunity to engage in transactions; to have their data be owned by them, to have independence, liberty and freedom.
