A number of people have made a windfall this year in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. One of them is a dominatrix named Theodora who estimates she earns between $7,000 and $10,000 each month in cryptocurrency. Last year she made over $1 million in cryptocurrency alone, reports MarketWatch.

Theodora is a financial dominatrix. Her clients derive sexual pleasure from giving her money. Those gifts can range from just a few dollars to six figures, and now some of the gifts are coming in the form of cryptocurrency.

Clients are typically powerful men who enjoy briefly releasing control to a woman, sometimes in the form of large sums of cash, other times by giving Theodora complete control over one of their bank accounts.

Theodora claims to be first to have developed a large number of crypto followers but says she sees it as the natural progression of the field. She even has some clients mining Bitcoin for her from their homes.
