Technically I agree with you. BTC, in of itself, is not a magic bullet.
HOWEVER, lots and lots of immorality stems directly from the fiat system - specifically because of its fiat nature.
Lets take OnlyFans girls since you mention Breedlove. Obviously its just a form of prostitution and counter to most "strong women" claims, I don't think any woman really wants to whore herself out -- whether or not its just online.
They are doing that primarily because of the broken economy, lack of meaningful opportunities, and inability to be in a committed single-earner marriage (ie. man works, woman stays home).
Humans have a tremendous capacity for self-delusion and rationalization....and whether they consciously realize it or not...I'm willing to bet most cam girls wouldn't do it if they could live a upper-middle class lifestyle as a homemaker.
I get the point, but correlation is not causation.
I at least know of 2 girls who went the OF route because they wanted and liked it, one studied in my same school when we were kids and was considered the classroom's bitch by many at the time, the other one studied with a friend when we were in the university, they both say that they do it because they absolutely love sex, nothing to do with the money or the opportunities., same as any guy who says that he wants to be a porn actor when he grows up and ends up doing it.
I won't say that there aren't desperate people in that industry, but that has nothing to do with how our money works, after all, prostitution is an older profession than being a bankster and even older than FIAT money.
Not everyone wants a traditional family with kids where only the husband works (I certainly don't want that, nor does my girl), and that's not a consequence of money, but it's because people are different and following traditional values is not an obligation anymore.
