crypto and sex work: even the sex workers who are coiners themselves find it unusable dogshit

yep. rule 34(c), "if it was useful to sex workers, they'd be using it"

it's actually funny. early on in the wave I watched a couple of performers make attempts at getting this use out of this stuff (often in partnership with startups or outright making new ones). they all gtfo'd within months, for a variety of reasons. I only saw a handful directly speak about the choices to leave (and/or details about some of the worse offenders), but one can make some likely inferences about events nonetheless[0]

wonder if, at this point, it's worth trying to interview any of them about that. feels a bit too long since?

[0] - turns out if you have often-marginalised and/or abused groups participate in things with vultures, they're not all that blind to the bad behaviour of the vultures. who knew?! quelle surprise!
