How do we get sex workers to use bitcoin?

[Sir Lagsalot]

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.

Xotika.TV has been doing this for ages.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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?

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!

So you are telling off sig spammers, and here you are wearing a sig and making a bullshit post. Hypocrite much.

This is untrue. LOL. Don't talk about shit you don't know about.

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.

i wish there would be escort site which accepts bitcoin.. this is my biggest dream

[Soros Shorts]

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 ?
