I've always been baffled as to why crypto hasn't been more popular with sex workers, especially with the advent of actually trustworthy stablecoins like USDC.

the demographic of ppl who become sex workers isn't very overlapped with tech or libertarian-esque ideas, unfortunately

Bitcoin is a mystery to me, and I have never had anyone explain it to me in such a way that it makes sense or has seemed more valuable than my delicate cash-and-digital dance. Now is the time to learn...

. and are a great resource for this - super sex worker friendly people who are excellent at explaining crypto.
There's pros and cons to crypto, and it *does* take more effort to learn how to use it, but full ownership over your funds is so vital.

Politicians discretely pressure banks to do things (like target sex workers), or revoke fdic insurance. But fdic insurance shouldn't exist because piggy banks should be separate from money printing. Your piggy bank shouldnt fail because the bank is gambling.

Sex work is one of those fringe industries that both SHOULD be legitimized and also COULD cross over into criminal activity.
It's a super interesting challenge for crypto to navigate, and how successfully it manages it will portend its future viability.

When the far right types were complaining about this sort of thing after jan 6, I kind of chuckled and thought "Hey, you were the types who got the banks involved in 'morality' stuff"

Bitcoin, not crypto. Everything not Bitcoin is a security. Are you Bitcoin only or have you found utility in others?
