Paying an escort to spend time with you certainly doesn’t come with the same sacrifices as an organic relationship. And, unlike chatbots, “nerdy escorts” are real people who can provide human perspectives on things like AI, crypto and economics instead of just echoing back a tech worker’s thoughts on such subjects.

    Its funny how to many the whole concept seems new, but to me it’s just the topics and price range.

    Escorts, and strippers have been entertaining patrons with intellectual conversations probally for as long as the second oldest profession has been around.

        The irony of your comment might kill me.

        You know crypto doesn’t just mean coins… right? It’s a whole concept that applies to lots of things outside of cryptocurrency.

          That would be general purpose cryptography, and is never abbreviated to crypto.

            “Crypto” can encompass things that aren’t “coins” though—like land deeds. It’s just a protocol to secure & verify ownership in a decentralized way.

            My point is, the actual concept of it absolutely could be an intellectual conversation. Their confidently ignorant quip about what qualifies is silly.
