How do we get sex workers to use bitcoin?

[Cass LeChat]

I mean, it makes sense right? Lots of transactions, they can teach their clients. I started a resource here as a good step.

But what are some other ways?

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I haven't clicked on your link for fear of clicking on links, but here's a suggestion:  Next time you use one of your local sex workers for sex, why don't you mention bitcoin to them and tell them how convenient it is.  But be sure to explain the transaction times and the upcoming hard fork just so they're well-informed about potential problems they might have.  You might want to suggest the Mycelium wallet or something for androids and that breadwallet for IOS.  I'm sure it'll be a hit with him/her.

But it's going to be tough trying to stuff some satoshis into a strippers g-string.

You hire a pro for sex not to learn about bitcoin.

You may have an idea for a new coin here: Pimpcoin  

But it's going to be tough trying to stuff some satoshis into a strippers g-string.

I seen a story once about a stripper who got a bitcoin QR tattoo on her back as a new way for payment.

Don't forget to explain all about how mining POW works like lottery tickets, how full nodes work, how the public ledger dubbed the blockchain records all of this ever since the genesis block, and how cryptography works with one way math problems etc..

It should be no problem as long as she (or he/it?) is still on the clock..

[iv4n]

I think its more harder to make people pay with bitcoin. If u have people that will pay with btc then it's easy later to cash out.
Sex workers are like any other worker, they wish to earn money. If u show them how can they do their job without paying taxes and to avoid some other fees for sure they will consider using btc as payment method.

[Preclus]

Why don't you try this...

wait until you are done and then tell her you want to pay her in virtual electronic currency which was invented by someone who wants to remain anonymous. Tell her she can create an electronic wallet online and you'll electronically transfer your virtual bitcoins into her account but she should wait for a few confirmations and that could take 10 minutes. After waiting for the confirmations, she can convert the money into dollars by going to an online exchange, moving money into it, providing some documentation and then waiting a week or maybe two. Tell her that the fee for converting her money to dollars isn't a big deal. She will need to give them her bank account information.

Hearing all that, she will likely call her pimp.

Then you have a chance to educate a second person about bitcoin!

If you are lucky, you will end up in the hospital with moderate to severe injuries. There you have the chance to educate even more people on bitcoin, the trauma nurse and the police. Explain the virtues of pseudo-anonymous transactions and how the dollar will be worthless in the future because of the Fed.

[Cass LeChat]

LOL, yeah well tipping ain't what it used to be anyways. People don't tip much, no manners.

How unfortunate as I relish the opportunity to talk about sex workers and "loser men", just as you apparently do

"Nah, dude. No amount of money laid at my feet combats the amount of violence and harassment hot women get from loser men. Like I started wearing sunglasses and headphones every day so that I could get shit done while these dudes are so confused about their dicks. "

This type of threads is a clear sign of the current decadency of this forum. I have always thought that when someone does not have a good idea to share, it is better to remain silent with dignity.

[7788bitcoin]

Bitcoin is NOT anonymous and all payment histories are stored on the blockchain! So you can still track back the date of the interaction! This might not be something everyone likes...

[European Central Bank]

I thought sex workers were pretty far along with bitcoin already. Aren't a ton of them using it on backpage? By looks of things normal banking's gonna get more uptight about dealing with industries like that so it's something they'll find naturally anyway.

[BTCBinary]

They are already using it!
If you look throughout the forum you will find some add for sex sites and call girls who accept bitcoin.

You just need to look!

Now, How to attract them is a lot different But I guess they wouldn't mind accepting bitcoin if they had a BTC ATM in a near location.

[commandrix]

It's already kinda happening -- in fact, I vaguely recall that there is an altcoin called Titcoin, but don't quote me on that. She may still insist on being paid in cash, but at least it's something she might tell her pimp about.

This made my day, thanks. You should consider a career in comedy my friend. I visualized that scenario in my head and I think it was hilarious. If OP wants to ignore you for that, he will miss out on a lot of fun with you on this forum.

If you want to implement this, you could introduce a escrow service. The payment will only be done after the service was completed. You do not want a situation where a pimp or a robber bust into the room, whilst you have your pants on your ankles and demand that you transfer all your coins to their wallet.

To keep you safe, you transfer the coins before the service is done to a escrow and leave your phone and other valuables in the car. How does that sound?

Now who wants to be the escrow service, when a John wants to withhold payment for a poor service.  ^smile^

[ikydesu]

If you want to teach other, just take an education for them, because after sex, they will gonna sleep and forget about what bitcoin is. LoL

I thought sex workers were pretty far along with bitcoin already. Aren't a ton of them using it on backpage? By looks of things normal banking's gonna get more uptight about dealing with industries like that so it's something they'll find naturally anyway.

Yeah, In backpage site you can use sex workers with bitcoin.

[Sir Lagsalot]

But what are some other ways?

Show them BED, the Bitcoin Escort Directory. It's free to list on there, they just need to provide their details.

If they take the time to figure out Bitcoin, it becomes a more secure option than cash. Special rates for clients who pay in Bitcoin (ideally through anonymizing services / altcoin conversions) are the next step.

[btckold24]

lol I always see those sites advertised of girls online and they say they are taking bitcoin.

I am pretty sure there is more important people we need to adopt bitcoin than hoes and
strippers....

[talkbitcoin]

there needs to be websites like live cam shows that has officially started using bitcoin at first so these workers can start using those services and advertise it through them.

its hard to suggest sex workers to accept bitcoin,i real transaction i mean,even general people not easy accept bitcoin. and i think xotika.tv just have tip feature,not paid directly,i think someone must manage that sex worker to be able paid with bitcoin directly.

[PakistanHockeyfan]

This isn't really something I want to entertain which goes back to my unwarranted debauchery comment. I will not partake, but you can enjoy yourself in the mission to find sex workers to use this currency, even though it might make this currency look more inappropriate and suspicious than it already is at the moment.

[Kprawn]

Most sex workers do not pay taxes like we do. The money goes straight to their pimp and they get a share. We are talking millions of dollars not going

through bank accounts. They cannot use bank accounts or the IRS will hunt their ass. {excuse the pun} So most of this money are used for drugs and

booze. Bitcoin will leave a trace or a traceable record of their earnings and this will be the problem. I would prefer them regulating this area and

using Bitcoin to do that, but they will never support that. Tax free income is the number one goal for them.

Bitcoin will never leave a record now because it's still far from being regulated in most countries if not all. I agree that sex workers should be using Bitcoin, along with narcs, arms dealing, terrorism, etc. Another great headline for the world so Bitcoin continues to pile up bad press after bad press really. I'm not condemning this post of any reply, but I've become aware of how bad Bitcoin image has gotten lately and many of us are still clueless thinking Bitcoin is some kind of pristine paradise/shelter where people hold hands and use decentralized money forever.

Excuse me, I don't want to emit any judgement but... Sex workers? I don't where you are from but is it even legal?

Cause if not... I don't think they'll accept anything but cash.

[justspare]

I mean, it makes sense right? Lots of transactions, they can teach their clients. I started a resource here as a good step.

Well it would be a huge hassle for the clients, because they would have to find an ATM or go on an exchange. Nobody is bothered to do that.

Well it could be the first step for an adoption xD

But I didn't think about that before but... Do you seriously believe that a hooker would take the time to teach their clients about btc? xD

I see it from here *hooker shaking her hips* "and you know it's a really cool thing cause it totally decentralized and all that shit"

No need to be offensive, actually both sides have arguments, sadly in this forum there are a lot of black and white people and that's what stops Bitcoin grow. I do agree with the article you mentioned to a certain extent, however we can't live in that utopia, at least those of us who run businesses and have credit cards because well, you can't basically exist without regulation, you are limited in many ways by the government and that's sad but just as you don't hand over your house keys to a homeless person, the government does its job in protecting itself too.

Bitcoin has without a doubt a bad image for the average person but not only that, it's very hard to adopt for non tech savvy people, for me those are huge barriers if we truly want a new currency, or perhaps you want it to be controlled by the elite alone?

Yes but may be in future if they come up with Bitcoin ATM then you can possibility try and I think this question makes no sense

Yeah, the bad reputation doesn't help for sure. But the tech skills needed are reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally responsible for the adoption difficulties I think.
And don't forget the community
Cause the community of btc is full of contemptuous people or scamming bitches!

Don't worry the forum is full of many creatures. You see a lot of them are elitists, entitled persons that think they alone hold the truth. That's why Hearn's statement made such an impact, it's not just a bunch of BS from a disgruntled developer, many points are very complex to solve, but Bitcoin has grown into a very tyrannical system and community if you think about it. For me it's a great innovative technology but has fallen on the wrong hands and many good willing people couldn't help it either. At least so far.

But what are some other ways?

You could pay in cash but offer to tip extra in bitcoins. If they have a smartphone you could offer to help them install a client. Then on your next visit you offer to pay everything in bitcoins.

Unfortunately I am not allowed to use the services of sex workers, so I can't try what I just suggested.

[Spoetnik]

i've been saying Bitcoin hasn't made it as a currency until i can pay for hookers with it
and.. DRUGS (in person on the street)
So there is your answer.. DRUGS !
What do most hookers use the money for ?

It's possible that it'll happen soon. More and more advertisers like backpage.com and leolist.cc are accepting bitcoin for paying for ads, so it makes sense that folks will want to accept bitcoin instead of having to buy it to use those services.

Stuff in my sig is all my own work, purpose is to demonstrate I have some clue of what I'm talking about (still lots to learn though!) and haven't scammed anyone.

It irritates me when people talk nonsense simply to earn some satoshis. Your time would be better spent gaining knowledge than making low-info posts. Sig campaigns have created an incentive for noobs to spam ignorance all over the forum and it sucks. The campagns should really start testing people's understanding of Bitcoin before signing them up.

People who don't get why sex-workers accepting Bitcoin is a good thing really don't get Bitcoin. Censorship-resistance is one of the fundamental properties. The moment you can no longer buy drugs and hookers with Bitcoin, this experiment in private money may be considered failed.

[sadface]

Saying black and white thinking stops Bitcoin's growth is itself a black and white statement and also false; Bitcoin is growing nicely.

I think you should re-read the article. People in the informal economy are by definition doing unregulated business. They're people like street vendors selling snacks for cash or labourers who do handyman work for cash. Drugs and prostitution are a very small slice of this pie, terrorism funding is an even tinier slice (if it currently exists at all). However, controversial goods and services are justifications for governments to attempt to control the entire informal economy. Many governments are working on banning cash so that all transactions must go through the banks, to be "properly" taxed and regulated. Not only will this enrich the state, expanding their warmaking and surveillance capabilities, but it will put many of these marginal workers out of business and into poverty.

It's essential that Bitcoin be able to take the place of cash, if or when it's banned, lest we all end up living in some tyrannical dystopia. There's nothing elitist in wanting currency which can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Prostitution and drug sales are only a small part of the tremendous personal freedom which Bitcoin offers. You can't stop Bitcoin being used for such purposes without destroying Bitcoin, so find a way to tolerate such victimless "crimes." Forget about the disapproval of the traditional media, who often serve the purposes of government.

Like the article points out, there are now (or soon will be) more people employed by the informal economy than the regulated one. That people like sex-workers are actively adopting Bitcoin, despite its "bad PR" and technical complexity, is very encouraging for Bitcoin's future success and for individual liberty.

it would be happen soon or maybe its already happen but we dont know..
im sure if that workers know btc and have a good advantage like can be buy/sell a things and do some transaction
they will be accepted btc..bcause its same as real money
and also btc is anyonymous so its match for a something like prostitute things..

If you are lucky, you will end up in the hospital with moderate to severe injuries. There you have the chance to educate even more people on bitcoin, the trauma nurse and the police. Explain the virtues of pseudo-anonymous transactions and how the dollar will be worthless in the future because of the Fed.

Excellent post. Now for laughs you should go find some of the threads that talk up how simple and convenient it is to use BTC especially compared to all the other methods of monetary exchange.

[Kprawn]

Most sex workers do not pay taxes like we do. The money goes straight to their pimp and they get a share. We are talking millions of dollars not going

How would you know, what I know and what I do not know. Show me a sex worker or a pimp for that matter, that submit a Tax return at the end of the

year, like most of us do. We have worked with these people in my country before and I can tell you out of experience that prostitution is a criminal

offense in most countries. The authorities just look the other way most of the time, because they render a service, some people needs. The closest they

come to paying tax, is when they pay VAT on items they purchase. Let's not debate this issue, because it's true for most countries.

Hmm I'd say you're right for most countries but sex workers is an official job in lots of countries too don't forget it.

For example, in Netherlands and in Australia sex workers do submit a Tax return, as any other business.

Well after, like any other business working mainly in cash, they don't report everything of course xD

You sig spammers and your shallow statements. "Bad PR?"   That's the absolute last thing honey badger gives a shit about!

Read "Only the Black Market Matters" by Justus Ranvier, he really nails it: "Anyone who isn’t actively working to expand and empower the informal economy is wasting their time."

No need to be offensive, actually both sides have arguments, sadly in this forum there are a lot of black and white people and that's what stops Bitcoin grow. I do agree with the article you mentioned to a certain extent, however we can't live in that utopia, at least those of us who run businesses and have credit cards because well, you can't basically exist without regulation, you are limited in many ways by the government and that's sad but just as you don't hand over your house keys to a homeless person, the government does its job in protecting itself too.

Bitcoin has without a doubt a bad image for the average person but not only that, it's very hard to adopt for non tech savvy people, for me those are huge barriers if we truly want a new currency, or perhaps you want it to be controlled by the elite alone?

Saying black and white thinking stops Bitcoin's growth is itself a black and white statement and also false; Bitcoin is growing nicely.

I think you should re-read the article. People in the informal economy are by definition doing unregulated business. They're people like street vendors selling snacks for cash or labourers who do handyman work for cash. Drugs and prostitution are a very small slice of this pie, terrorism funding is an even tinier slice (if it currently exists at all). However, controversial goods and services are justifications for governments to attempt to control the entire informal economy. Many governments are working on banning cash so that all transactions must go through the banks, to be "properly" taxed and regulated. Not only will this enrich the state, expanding their warmaking and surveillance capabilities, but it will put many of these marginal workers out of business and into poverty.

It's essential that Bitcoin be able to take the place of cash, if or when it's banned, lest we all end up living in some tyrannical dystopia. There's nothing elitist in wanting currency which can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Prostitution and drug sales are only a small part of the tremendous personal freedom which Bitcoin offers. You can't stop Bitcoin being used for such purposes without destroying Bitcoin, so find a way to tolerate such victimless "crimes." Forget about the disapproval of the traditional media, who often serve the purposes of government.

Like the article points out, there are now (or soon will be) more people employed by the informal economy than the regulated one. That people like sex-workers are actively adopting Bitcoin, despite its "bad PR" and technical complexity, is very encouraging for Bitcoin's future success and for individual liberty.

Bitcoin can most definitely be censored or declared illegal by any government and I wouldn't be surprised because if I were the government I wouldn't like a side currency that I can't control really, same as avoiding taxes if you ask me, that's how it all works. That would be the end of Bitcoin real quick if the punishment is as harsh as selling drugs for example, no one would touch it. I understand where are you coming though, I always thought Bitcoin would flourish in those markets, porn, gambling, etc, where no registration and instant deposits is a must but I just don't feel it worked. People still use CCs, Paypal or other payment systems, they just don't need Bitcoin and it's a hassle to get into for the average person, that's the bottomline that many can't seem to admit.

It's a thing to declare it illegal.
It's even possible to stop website exchange for example.

But it won't stop btc transaction! You'll always be able to buy or sell btc with cash!

They can try to hunt btc but they can't just forbid it.

[Zeke2345]

Nothing like having a transaction list for police to go over if they want to push the person out of the State/Province or in court.
Add in the fact that a lot of escorts work for pimps in one form or another who would not want to have all of this listed out for the escort.

Say she/he is being strung out on drugs for the sole purpose of them not knowing how many people they service. They could look at the addy and realize it was a lot more than 30 dudes in that bukake session.

[morantis]

A couple years back this would have a lot easier as it would have been nearly legal for girls or guys to accept BTC in exchange for sex.  After the Silk Road issues, it is now nearly useless for them, other than they would not have to carry the cash on them.

[Zeke2345]

Cashing out may be dicey as well. Limiting them to atms and person to person transfers. A John could creep on them and establish a link to how many clients they are seeing. Might get shocked that she/he is seeing more than just them in a week and want to revenge for broken fantasy.
Have to think that as a escort you are going to be over scrutinized if say you are robbed in a person to person transfer.

[btcdevil]

I think this service is started, online webcam sex chat xotica is going with bitcoin as payment, even this site is running signature campaign to promote their site about bitcoins as payment for the girls with whom you can have a online cam and if the same if sex workers will also start taking bitcoins as payment option.                                                                                                                

[mtnsaa]

Many Bitcoiners here really seem to be living in a fish bowl. No average person will go to all the hassle that is to get Bitcoins, it's just something we nerds do or people really tech savvy. First to get Bitcoin easily you need to have a Credit Card or a Bank, so that defeats the whole purpose in the first step. Another way would be Localbitcoins? Gimme a break, who would do that in this day an age, meeting a stranger on the street so you can scan a qr code or get raped, or both! Just to get some weird virtual coins, get real.

Bitcoin is a unique technology and completely innovative, the internet of currency indeed. But it's time for many to admit that many applications in the real world are just not easy, comfortable or friendly. That's why the adoption rate from the rest of the population is so low, we are all traders, speculators and investors here.

[BitMaxz]

You can try to explain how bitcoins work and show them the money from the bitcoin Sex worker they just need money if show them how bitcoin work i think they will be interest in bitcoin. But the problem is how they can earn it? or they can use online cam to cam and offer their body and payment is bitcoin for their show?

[JosNekoKopa]

What is difference for them dollar vs bitcoin if they can spend it?
If we talk about sex industry, they could be the first adopting it..
Everything for pleasure of customers and for their dollars..

[Zeke2345]

Not sure how it works every where but there is a high tendency for these escorts to use apartments/condos that they share between a group. They slot in the time and can meet johns at these destinations. Now one issue that could rise up,so to speak,would be sharing a internet connection and say a savy neighbor tapping in and exploiting the connection. Or another escort jacking in to others as they make transactions.
We have a problem with the pimps also being in the other room sometimes waiting to rob,so bitcoin would make it so much easier for them to pull this off.
One the john has to explain to the police he was paying for services and then has to explain bitcoin. I see that as a huge issue for the industry.
Cops are always a few steps behind when it comes to this stuff.

[ftwbtc1]

I mean, it makes sense right? Lots of transactions, they can teach their clients. I started a resource here as a good step.

But what are some other ways?

We need to make it very easy to get in and out of bitcoin and right now it is too difficult for people who need the cash immediately to buy food or pay for their babies formula.  There are many companies working on this and it will come soon. 

[blackraven1425]

I don't think this is something one can get people to adopt, at least not in this sense. Once it becomes more widespread for common people, it will be a natural step that sex workers start to accept cryptos are methods of receiving for their services.

Exactly, I don't even know where should I begin selling my BTC (I'm not looking to do it but still). It's increible complicated just to buy it, a complete hassle for the common person, to sell it it's even more difficult. It's not like you go to an ATM or a supermarket and you convert your BTC into fiat, people here are deluded and thinking Bitcoin is everywhere, it's only used or known from a very small percentage, far from being widespread so there are no actual reliable services in place.

[onlinedragon]

With a XAPO wallet you can cash out your BTC. So that couldn't be the problem like some people telling here.

[Anddos]

Sex workers won't accept bitcoin anytime soon. If they were so smart as to understand bitcoin they wouldn't be sex workers in the first place.

[vendetahome]

i wouldnt be impressed if they are already using it, i mean its anonymous and helpful to do such things so i believe that they already got into it though thats just my opinion

[Cass LeChat]

This type of threads is a clear sign of the current decadency of this forum. I have always thought that when someone does not have a good idea to share, it is better to remain silent with dignity.

@angaper, don't blame the guy for coming up with such thread. Coming up with the right idea is difficult this day so, posting anything that comes to mind is an alternative in order to increase his activities on this forum

There are so many reasons to  this train...

[Cass LeChat]

Sex workers I think need it more than common folks because of how often other payment methods freeze their services (Despite their own ceos using funds to pay professionals) 

[Cass LeChat]

Again, this is uninformed. Sex workers are more likely to be interested because of how already-existing payment methods discriminate against them.

[Preclus]

Excellent post. Now for laughs you should go find some of the threads that talk up how simple and convenient it is to use BTC especially compared to all the other methods of monetary exchange.

How to pay a hooker:

1. Put $200 in an envelope
2. Meet, greet, put the envelope on the counter
3. Do your business and leave when done

Completely anonymous, transaction occurs immediately, no record kept anywhere, no exchange needed. Cash can be then spent anywhere, immediately.

Inconvenient?

[phreaky]

I think most do not even know what it is. They should include also know what it does and what it can.
And that's difficult to go out to anyone explain what it is.

I'm not sure this is true with Backpage and Leolist now accepting payments in bitcoin, especially once Visa and Mastercard dropped BP. Even if they didn't come through an interest in bitcoin itself, I think more workers are going to be interested in it to pay for ads.

[Anddos]

Not having to carry cash on your person and not leaving your password remembered in your phone browser should be enough of a reason to use bitcoin if not for any other reasons. The worst scenario you lose your phone but your money is safe online.

Just need to meet in safe locations,I know Downtown here you can actually meet at the police station and make transactions in the lobby with in reason. So they say,never tried it and sure as hell think they would presume it was a drug deal. Was mainly for craigslist sales but meeting in a cafe or library should be safe enough.
Having a secondary phone that has dummy info on it is not a bad idea if you meet a lot of people and are worried about jackings.
Most people going after a theft are paying attention to you rather than slight of hand. But I guess it all depends on how you can handle a situation as well.

[elizabethqueen]

Lol, why many here don't see the irony that to get Bitcoins you need to meet in person, WTF is that? Adoption rate won't ever rise unless first there is an actual need for Bitcoin, that means actual demand, needed for something in particular.

And secondly, it needs to be easy to get, to use and to get out if you want to. Right now it's the complete opposite, a hassle to get them (and you will loose money in fees) completely impossible to understand and use for the average person (yes I know, they are stupid...it's their fault) and forget about selling them without losing money too.

These are the voices that need to be heard in order for Bitcoin to survive, so let's stop with the sex workers need to use Bitcoin, it's the other way around, Bitcoin needs to be the solution for their problem.

[Anddos]

The transaction confirmations might be a problem with the sex workers. Seeing as how it takes a minimum of 30 minutes for that, "business" would have to be done on faith. And I don't see many sex workers doing that. But you never know...

[Gyfts]

Some already do. There a few bitcoin cam girl sites, but they tend to be extremely sketchy (no surprise there). The truth is, most sex workers are extremely stupid. They couldn't wrap their head around bitcoin if they tried. The very few that aren't total morons just haven't been introduced to Bitcoin to ever consider accepting it. Seems like sex workers would rather have cash money than a virtual currency.

Amen to that. If they can't see it, it doesn't exist. If they were smarter they were rocket scientists, not sex workers.

[calkob]

HAHA sounds like the start of a bad joke......

Q: How do we get sex workers to use bitcoin?

A: You show them a hard fork......

[AliceWonderMiscreations]

lol I always see those sites advertised of girls online and they say they are taking bitcoin.

I am pretty sure there is more important people we need to adopt bitcoin than hoes and
strippers....

More important people?

What the fuck?

Attitudes like that are why so many crimes against sex workers happen.

They aren't important, so why should any resources be spent protecting them or investigating the crimes.

[AliceWonderMiscreations]

A lot of sex workers are paid in cash which makes them targets for violent crimes. Bitcoin can make their work safer.

I would say their industry is one of the more important industries to get moved to bitcoin.

[enhu]

Its a hard job to convert them to use btc. BTC is also a threat to pimps job  

strippers will then learn about bitcointalk.org and some technicla details about bitcoins if she somehow find it interesting, she could learn more and might stop working and concentrate more on bitcoin lol

and one more thing, she could video having sex with her clients and then extort the guys using bitcoin after she learns she need no banks to get the money from extorting.   maybe even extort the pimp

[alani123]

Anyone have the link to the forum topic where MPOE-PR tries to give free bitcoins to some camgirls and they all say no?

[mikewirth]

A lot of sex workers are paid in cash which makes them targets for violent crimes. Bitcoin can make their work safer.

This is a good point actually.  But it is not limited to sex workers.  Anyone who uses cash is put in a better condition by taking bitcoin instead.

[BitcoinPaw]

lol. It's so funny topic 
If you want to pay to a sex workers with bitcoin just ask them for it. I think they will accept your offer cause they don't care about bitcoin or dollar

[gentlemand]

Insert one's phallus into a hole in their little body. Then hand over BTC and make a loud humming noise until they accept it. Job done.

[alani123]

lol. It's so funny topic 
If you want to pay to a sex workers with bitcoin just ask them for it. I think they will accept your offer cause they don't care about bitcoin or dollar

Thing with sexworkers is that they don't really have the time to bother with technicalities. Unless bitcoin somehow becomes really convenient for real world payments (instant confirmations, secure and easy mobile apps etc.) I don't think that many sex workers would bother.

[DeathAngel]

I find it a bit creepy that you're interested in making sex workers accept bitcoin. Isn't there anything or anybody else who take priority over women in the sex industry?

[MFahad]

I dont think Sex workers could accept bitcoins. Webcam online sex workers can accept this digital currency but the normal Sex worker will wont agree to that. They need hard cash in dollars or any other local currency.

[BitMaxz]

I dont think Sex workers could accept bitcoins. Webcam online sex workers can accept this digital currency but the normal Sex worker will wont agree to that. They need hard cash in dollars or any other local currency.

I think if you explain it well if how bitcoin works or what is bitcoin they can accept it as payment because bitcoin is money.. so  sex workers can accept bitcoin because its money..

[RealPhotoshoper]

I mean, it makes sense right? Lots of transactions, they can teach their clients. I started a resource here as a good step.

But what are some other ways?

yes it make sense,and i think this is would be effective and brilant idea to make bitcoin mass adopted and more popular,the people who use sexworker absolutely have some money,and maybe they dont know about bitcoin

[knightkon]

In my opinion, this makes something very simple much harder to deal with.  When you use one of these services, you give them cash, get yours, and they/you leave!!  It is real simple now, so why would you want to complicate things?

[romero121]

In my opinion, this makes something very simple much harder to deal with.  When you use one of these services, you give them cash, get yours, and they/you leave!!  It is real simple now, so why would you want to complicate things?

Yeah, no need of complications. If the sex worker is already aware of bitcoin and asks for bitcoin in return for the services. Else cash can be used.

[aso118]

The only reason I can think of is international sex tourists. Dollars are of course accepted by everybody, but in case you are stuck with some other currency? Bitcoin might help you avoid the currency changers.

[yenxz]

I mean, it makes sense right? Lots of transactions, they can teach their clients. I started a resource here as a good step.

yes make sense,teach the client to start using and accepting bitcoin is good way,and i saw some adult site have started to accept bitcoin,bitcoin tipping in exotic video or sensual show,its good start to promote bitcoin to sex worker.

[HatredofUrLife]

Honestly, I find this to be insulting. We need more proper adopters for adoption. This is not the way to go. At all. Sex work isn't respectable.

Yes, bitcoin is very easy. If sex workers will start accepting it, that will be fine. You won’t have to worry about money changers. But it’s how you will convince them to start using bitcoin, that’s the problem.

[clopoterian]

Honestly, I find this to be insulting. We need more proper adopters for adoption. This is not the way to go. At all. Sex work isn't respectable.

Insulting?
Bitcoin got to where it is today because people used it to push dope on SilkRoad, and you find adoption by hookers insulting?

It is real simple now, so why would you want to complicate things?

For that extra kink. It feels a little ...dirtier with bitcoins

[BTCLovingDude]

Honestly, I find this to be insulting. We need more proper adopters for adoption. This is not the way to go. At all. Sex work isn't respectable.

whether you and me like it or not is irrelevant, people have always been using sex workers and will always continue to use them in whatever form that is, and they are using cash for offline payments (like at a club) or credit card payments for online which will be so much better if it is done with bitcoin anonymously.

If you want to convince a sex worker to start using bitcoin, anytime you work with them, just ask them if they are accepting bitcoin as a means of payment, and if they say no, you then explain better, and tell them about it.

[aso118]

Honestly, I find this to be insulting. We need more proper adopters for adoption. This is not the way to go. At all. Sex work isn't respectable.

Sex work is still work. You should learn to respect all professions.

The more people we get to use bitcoin, the better it is for the community.

Yes it is their work but this is not decent job because they cannot gain respect for this kind of work and i think life is not over better they should find another decent job so they can be respected in the community. And i think local street sex worker dont accept bitcoin because they dont know about it and they prepare physical money as payment and we cannot force their to use it. But an online cam show girls/sex workers are accepting bitcoin because they know how to use it and get transaction to be done.

[Herbert2020]

it has already been started, there are some webcam sites that are accepting bitcoin as tipping method and they are growing in popularity. and i would expect in the future when the price is higher and the popularity of bitcoin has increased other more popular websites would start accepting bitcoin as payment too if the requests are high.

[pereira4]

I mean, it makes sense right? Lots of transactions, they can teach their clients. I started a resource here as a good step.

But what are some other ways?

I think as long as the Bitcoin remains in general a niche for pioneers and people in the tech world, we are still far from now. Now, looking at how governments have a clear agenda to get rid of physical cash over the next years, I think it's pretty clear that Bitcoin will be an ideal alternative to get paid for that without no one knowing, so I think it's inevitable every sex worker on earth will eventually use Bitcoin.

[dearbesz]

 How do we get sex workers to use bitcoin?

i just dont have an idea to get a sex workers by using Bitcoins.
maybe through their ATM account if they have.

[SilverPunk]

Hm.how do we get ? I think these topic will be applicable in the future or next years to fully known for average people who use internet .
Get sex workers to use bitcoin especially them is applicable to use anonymously withrawing on some bitcoin ATM as they said or paying in some cardless banks .it was much easy to use by them.

[DianeDeziree]

Hello, everyone! I'm working as a cam model and the site I work on uses BTC
All you need to know is just have fun! 

[Dapper]

Easy.  Convert them to 100 dollar US$ bills first.
