The sex worker would be selling the cryptocurrency to the johns - either directly, through the marketplace, or indirectly, by selling to the marketplace which sells it on to johns. (The marketplace thus being a virtual pimp that takes a cut of transactions, but unlike traditional pimps, only offering any protections to the customer, not the worker.) The “currency” is specifically for sex work where it’s illegal, so no one else is going to be interested; it’s like the tokens that arcades sell you to run their machines - there’s nothing in theory stopping it from being used as some sort of unofficial currency outside of that context, but in reality it’s too specific, as there’s no other market for them outside of people who want to play at that arcade.
