The “stripper index” – a anecdotal measurement that linked the health of the economy to the adult’s recreation – appears to be unable to predict bitcoin (Btc) Price.
Kodi Rose, a self-described “dollar stripper” and creator of the adult content, referred to in these frontline views in a recent viral Viral Tiktok video, saying he believes the economy is In a backward As fewer customers ask where they can “hit slopes,” a social code for cocaine.
The digital equivalent of the odd dancers are creators of the adult content, and only those who lead the space. On the platform, users subscribe to creators and tips for extras.
Turns the index of the stripper doesn’t really work for bitcoin. A 57-month revenue review of a mid-tier creator only shows a negative relationship with bitcoin price, despite the two moves in the same direction more than half the time.
To understand if the creators’ revenue holds any unpredictable value for Bitcoin, Cointelegraph spoke to veterans in the entertainment industry that welcomed the same revolt next to crypto hype cycles.
Bitcoin followed the model’s earnings only 55% of the time
The stripper index is supported by the assumption that consumers will reduce unnecessary expenditure during the economic collapse.
“Gender work is considered a ‘non-essential’ service-it is a hobby, a luxury. Therefore, it is one of the first costs that people cut when their financial situation is unsure or they expect economic separated,” Catherine de Noire, a creator of the only and brothel, told Cointelegraph.

Alana Nguyen, who plays the only ones under the name “Nerdy Dancing,” has shared his monthly income with Cointelegraph since moving online after the 2020 pandemic shut down of the physical world, including strip clubs. So far, he has not noticed any clear relationship between crypto prices and the custom’s behavior.
“Although there are global economic conditions that affect general expenditure, I don’t think crypto prices are strictly linked to my income,” Nguyen told cointelegraph.
A Pearson correlation coefficient of -0.335 more than 57 months suggests a moderate negative linear relationship between Nguyen’s revenues and bitcoin prices.
A 10-month Pearson rotation between Nguyen’s revenues and the price of Bitcoin showed great volatility over time. The highest correlation is observed in the 10-month period ending July 2021, which is the first month of Nguyen’s business.
Of the 48 total calculations, the coefficient of the correlation coexistence was evenly divided, with 24 positive and 24 negative values, suggesting the correlation between Nguyen’s revenues and the price of Bitcoin changed without a similar pattern. The correlation of the correlation rarely goes above 0.5 or below -0.5, indicating low correlation.
In a separate measurement, the cointelegraph examined whether the income was increased when the monthly bitcoin average was compared to the last month and when his income dropped as Bitcoin decreased. With this measurement, the two moved toward the same direction about half the time, with 55% accuracy over 57 months.
“I have always thought that concepts like the Stripper Index are only useful in the terms of integration -with the combined -with -a -strip club, my income is not necessarily tied to how the club does the general. It’s more about my personal ability to sell that day -if the regular ones enter or I’m lucky to be a big spender,” Nguyen said.
Only those are known to be known for reporting the opaque financial. One website, alone, claims To assess the transaction behavior of more than 1 million subscribers and found that the top 0.1% of creators earn most of the platform income.
According to data from Justguider shared with Cointelegraph, the top 0.1% of creators gained $ 2,035,331 in April 2025, when the average bitcoin price was $ 94,207. While Bitcoin prices continued to rise in May and June, revenues for the top 0.1% also increased, up to $ 2,038,972 in May and $ 2,052,502 in June.
Bitcoin’s relationship with entertainment only and adults
Crypto has once seen as an alternative tool for facilitating payments to the creators of the adult content. Pornhub, one of the largest platforms of the industry, has begun Cryptocurrency receiving in advance of 2018. However, only those, take a different path and do not offer crypto as a payment method.
“Crypto payments are not very popular with our brothel. Most clients prefer cash because it does not leave a trace. The very small number of women who work with us receive crypto payments, and even then, the total number of transactions each year is very low,” De Noire said.
“We have not noticed any significant changes in spending behavior that match the crypto change. If Bitcoin or Ethereum plays well or does not seem to have a direct impact on how much our clients want to spend,” he added.

Erotic film star Allie Eve Knox has a stronger contact with the crypto community as an advocate for integrating cryptocurrency in the adult industry and by his involvement with Spankchain, which launches initiatives such as SpankPay, a crypto payment option for the creators of the adult.
Knox, who offered his content on many platforms, including only those, said that the price of Bitcoin did not appear to have a significant impact on his earnings.
“Anytime the crypto hit a high time, our traffic really slows down,” Knox told Cointelegraph.
“People want to see the biggest number in their account and screenshot it. It’s not uncommon for them to pass money to get their wanks.”
Knox has been in the Entertainment Entertainment industry for 11 years and said he has experienced 36 account closing in his career – from bank accounts to cash apps and PayPal. Crypto offers an alternative way to accept payments, but ironically, he claims he is De-banked even by crypto platforms.
“I showed a Showtime documentary crew on how I could show my Coinbase QR code on camera, and viewers could pay me to Bitcoin or Ether. The day after being released, Coinbase closed my account.”
Modern payment options – if crypto or digital banking – make transactions easier for both consumers and business. However, electronic methods still get an investigation from banks when used by sex workers. In brothels, clients often prefer cash, sometimes even leaving mid-session to remove money from an ATM, De Noire said.
“As just a creator of creators, I noticed something a bit similar. My subscribers generally had no issue using credit cards and platform trust. However many of them asked if they could pay through Bitcoin or other alternative methods,” he said.
“Since payments out of the platform are not allowed, I have not pursued them yet, but it is clear that even online clients are looking for more privacy and data control they share with financial institutions.”
Bitcoin’s honeymoon with justfans models has passed
The web3 and the adult content had their “good old days,” according to Knox, who said that the unmistakable token (NFT) boom of 2021 has opened new revenue flows and has given the creators more options to reach fans and spend their Crypto revenues.
“Now, if a customer no longer holds the crypto, they have to move the money from their bank, wait for it to be cleaned in a purse, it can convert it, send it to a model, wait for confirmation and only after they get the content,” he said.
The creators also faced The rising barriers around the world. Recently, China has launched a national cracker on only, while Sweden, a country that is different from politics and culture from China, has imposed restrictions on the purchase of adult content.
De Noire mentioned sociologist Zygmunt Bauman to teach that in today’s society, consumers are not only trying to survive, but they put the fun first.
“When you see many unnecessary services such as massages, fancy coffee, wellness retreats or even sex work used regularly, it’s a sign that society has enough money around,” De Noire said.
While cryptocurrency is once appreciated as a promising payment solution for creators of the adult content facing financial censorship, the fact is more complicated. Despite the overlap pockets, such as the simultaneous increase in Bitcoin prices and revenue with the leading creators only, adult entertainers and their profits have shown a little relationship with bitcoin price trends.
