Wouldn't that still require some kind of cooperation from banks or credit card companies? If someone knows a way that doesn't require cooperation from these, that would be great.

(I suppose one way would be to set up some sort of "western union" where you could deposit cash and someone at the "bank" would change the number in your account balance accordingly... But maybe there are regulations about this?)

I was joking. Suggesting that pornstars create their own payment platforms instead of using BTC is the single worst suggestion I've ever read on here. I'm dumbfounded that someone could seriously think that. The money transmitter license alone would cost over a million dollars.

Yes. The net practical effect of anti-money-laundering laws is that you cannot transfer money at scale without the government's permission.
