Chicagoland ZECsy Workshop: Cryptocurrency for Providers

(This page is not an attendance listing; see below for how to RSVP.) Cryptocurrency gets a bad rap and, in many situations, it’s deserved. Most of the “crypto” sector is just not relevant, not helpful, and not intended for us as online or especially in-person adult industry workers. But there is a sliver of really powerful stuff in there, and it can be a useful and secure tool for providers, both with clients and with services used to support business activities. Go from 0 to 60—or 69, as the case may be—with cryptocurrency for your business, and in 2 hours or less!
