How do we get sex workers to use bitcoin?

[Zeke2345]

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.

Want to try and explain how you don't really have many bitcoins while a 240 pound crank addict has a .45 in your face saying "transfer all your bitcoins to me right now?" Doesn't happen?

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.

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?

some other ways?try to collect that sex worker and manage them,the system just like in real world,but you advertise that sex worker in bitcoin price,and just accept payment with bitcoin,i think its make sense.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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..

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?
