The problems about a missing circular economy mentioned in this article still apply to bitcoin.
Did you read the article or only the headline?

You're right. The average sex worker can't be expected to deal with the complications and frustration of no kyc p2p buying and selling like robosats.

But the ones who did bother would be pretty pretty cool

It's a high-time preference industry and bitcoin isn't going to solve that, money in the sex industry, for producer, consumers or middle man is easy cum easy go, thats what you're signing up for

The headline is wrong. What's failing them are the banks and the dollar (fiat). Not "crypto" nor bitcoin. But don't let reality get in the way of a catchy headline.

Exactly. Why does anyone expect better from centralized exchanges? They are part of the legacy system and subject to as much regulation and scrutiny as any bank.

I'm actually optimistic about innovations in the marketplaces in Nostr that combine the same stuff that worked in dark-net markets (or peer to peer exchanges like localbitcoins) (reputation scores), which can be applied to helping the girls stay safer. Also, maybe it could cut out the pimps (who take crazy cuts) which are generally either abusive psuedo-boyfriends or criminal drug dealers or both. All of this is for sex workers who are prostitutes. If we are talking sex workers who are online performers, then they are content creators and yes. Because of v4v Bitcoin fixes that too. Both Pornhub AND Only fans takes WAY too much. But Egirls are something guys will actually figure out how to move some money from $ to sats in their cashapp over to tip them. Once Pornhub decided to accept crypto. They chose Verge for gods sakes. Wtf.
