do them this favor on a perfectly, purely voluntary basis. They don't order it, something that would violate the 1st Amendment and stuff in the US, no, they just ask for it, as a favor. The problem is that governments still don't like it, so instead of explicitly forbidding/recriminalizing it, which would cause public discussions and risk making it all even more legal and accepted, they ask private companies to pretty please restrict it. It already is legalized, or at the very least decriminalized, on most places.
Maybe we should stop being prudes and de-criminialize/legalize sex work. "Thus far, the most she's gotten from a single sale is $1,200 worth of ethereum."
Knox also tells CNBC she's sold photos of herself as NFTs on sites like OpenSea. For instance, bitcoin is down more than 40% from its November all-time high. Sex workers who do accept crypto also have to contend with volatile prices, which can cut into their earnings. Some adult media companies have even turned to blockchain technology to develop their own digital currencies and platforms. Nowadays, it's par for the course to see adult websites accept cryptocurrency, and some deal in it exclusively. Nearly every sex worker interviewed for this story mentioned platform hopping. After being shut out of a third bank, DiAngelo says she turned exclusively to bitcoin for her online banking needs. When they also flagged and closed her account, she moved on to the next. There was particular irony in her situation, as DiAngelo did a stint as a stockbroker at Citibank in the 1980âs, always pays her taxes, and has a credit score over 800. They did, however, say that she was still responsible for any money owed. DiAngelo says the customer service rep told her that they weren't "at liberty" to tell her why it had happened, and she would have to write a formal letter to request additional details. DiAngelo called Citibank and learned that her account had been frozen and she should tear up her credit card. DiAngelo tells CNBC she will never forget the first time her bank account was closed without warning.

Some escorts - who charge anywhere from $1,700 an hour to $11,000 for a full 24 hours - now explicitly say in their ads that they prefer to be paid in bitcoin or ethereum. It's not dealt with fairly, but it's still legal," explained Kristen DiAngelo, an activist and Sacramento-based sex worker who has spent over four decades in the industry. With crypto, there is no middleman making a judgment call on which transactions are acceptable. "It was mine." Knox is one of many adult workers who say that cryptocurrencies like bitcoin give them a sense of security and independence as banks, credit card companies, and payment processors tighten regulations around adult content. I could watch it go up and down," said Knox. He biggest attraction was having total and irreversible ownership over the money she had earned. CNBC interviewed six adult entertainers about cryptocurrency use, including webcam performer Allie Eve Knox, who became interested in cryptocurrencies after "several vendors, including PayPal, Square Cash, and Venmo, shut down her accounts because of red flags related to sex work."
