The $1 billion Cam Girl Industry Is Getting Its Own Cryptocurrency
“The porn world is a magical place, it has rules and politics of its own creation, but it still falls victim to all of the struggles the “real” world faces,” writes porn actress Janice Griffith in a Medium blogpost this October. Griffith, best known for movies such as ‘Squirt in My Face,’ and ‘I Have a Wife,’ is referring to the discrimination and sexism that sex workers deal with on a daily basis.
But porn actresses also suffer from a rather unique problem — not being able to spend their money on business-related services. Due to antiquated morality clauses, porn and cannabis fall under a similar umbrella, in legalese, where business such as banks can refuse to do business with them, meaning they become cash operations or are forced to use premium banking services with hefty fees.
“[I’m] seen as lesser or “dirty” simply because you can see me naked online,” Griffith writes. “[But] porn and camming are an extremely visible sect of sex work that relies on advertising and consumption in ways that other traditional forms of sex work do not.”
