In [an essay for *The Daily Beast*](), adult film actor Cherie DeVille describes why she decided to drop a video of her dominating a man out of buying non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and cryptocurrency, encouraging him instead to invest in more stable financial instruments. "Men are basically pussy-blind to cryptocurrencies," DeVille wrote. "So, I decided to teach them a lesson or two with my actual pussy." In the clip, pegged towards Tax Day and intent on inspiring better investments among the less-fair sex, DeVille stars as "Suze Whorman," the titular financial advisor a couple comes to after a distraught wife gets fed up with her husband's expensive NFT addiction. "The video sounds ridiculous, but we need to act silly to straighten out male finances," DeVille bemoans. "Men love crypto, monkey NFTs, and speculative assets because they appeal to men’s risk-prone brains." ## PornFTs While DeVille's tongue-in-cheek assessment of the masculine urge to gamble away money is a humorous means of marketing for her latest project, it's also interesting to see a prominent figure in the world of adult entertainment push back against NFTs, in the face of [much of the industry embracing them](). Entire marketplaces are [springing up]() to let individual performers cash in on the craze, which makes some sense given that [creating bespoke content]() has been a thing in the porn industry since long before OnlyFans came around. Given the, uh, pump and dump schemes that play particularly well among the [crypto-loving crowd of adult entertainers]() and their fans, that makes DeVille's gambit all the bolder. "What do men love more than gambling? Sex," she wrote for the *Beast*. "I’m educating through porn because it will get males’ attention." **READ MORE:** [The Porn Star Banging Men Into Not Buying Crypto and NFTs]() \[*The Daily Beast*\] **More on NFTs:** *[Guy Tries to Sell Twitter Founder's First Tweet NFT For $48M, Gets Top Bid of Just $280]()* ## Author At Futurism, I've often been drawn to unpacking the narratives that underlie technological, scientific and medical progress, with a special interest in areas of conflict and ambiguity that end up setting agendas and steering the fates of both elites and the hoi polloi. I'm a committed generalist, but I often find myself returning to work involving NASA and the private space sector, the effects of AI on media and society, and the mechanics of the pharmaceutical industry, with a specific focus on the spread of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Prior to Futurism, I worked for publications ranging from Media Matters and Truthdig to Raw Story and Bustle. I'm also the author of "Myspace Scene Queens," a 2024 title in Instar Books' acclaimed "Remember the Internet" series. My work at Futurism has been cited by outlets including the New Yorker, Slate, Nieman Lab, the Verge, the MIT Technology Review, the Sunday Times, and the Daily Beast. I grew up in North Carolina, attended the University of North Carolina at Asheville, and now live in Brooklyn, New York. In my free time, I'm an avid reader and music fan; you can probably find me at a local poetry reading, concert, underground rave, or DJ set. I'm the proud parent of an ineffable orange cat named Mee-Mow. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
