RE: AMA - I am Toni Lane Casserly, former CEO of CoinTelegraph, labeled as the "Hottest Woman in Cryptocurrency" 🌹
What is the hardest part of being a CEO in the cryptocurrency space? What challenges have you faced at your prior positions and what advice would you give to new CEOs entering the space for the first time?
The hardest blow was being told I could not be an executive because I was a woman and because women have no business running companies. The hardest part is most certainly the trolls, which I am sure you can attest to. Most people don't know the troll mentality was curated through high level psychological grass roots insurgency strategies funded by major companies who wanted to fragment the Bitcoin community (I can do a lot of digging and find the coinfire piece that outed this truth).
Lessons: don't be too trusting, remove bad seeds IMMEDIATELY, surround yourself with good people and protectors, always take the high road, negativity is a virus, be allergic to drama (when you see it, sneeze, bless yourself and walk away), don't take anything too personally (still challenged with this one), and only even remotely associate with people of integrity (have empathy for those going through hardship though... The strongest bonds will be built through this sense of togetherness).

Yup. Completely agree with you.
Please find that article, I'm curious to read it. Thanks!
