Crypto is often said to be a lifeline for people who are blocked from mainstream finance, and one community in particular has embraced its potential: sex workers.

Sex workers routinely face discrmination from banks, credit card companies, and payment services, and so some performers—and startups—have turned to the blockchain. But is it a solution, or merely a Band-Aid? Motherboard visits the Spankchain hype house in Las Vegas to see what this world looks like in actions, and speaks to sex worker and author Liara Roux about how Bitcoin fits into sex work.
