Twerk van Huis wants to become the UFC of exotic dancing – with a crypto boost

Joe Mahavuthivanij-de Co-founder and CEO of Twerk from home, or TFH-ZAL The Dana White of the operation are by legitimizing and growing the sport of exotic dancing.

The first tournament of the organization bounces in action on Saturday, while a group of dancers pushed themselves to the final with a big prize of $ 10,000. The TFH Event will contain dancers from all over the world and fight it out in head-to-head twerk-offs via their webcams-vandaar De Branding “From Home”.

In the meantime, viewers with their wallet vote by buying “gifts” for the best dancer. Every cent of those gifts will go directly to the dancer, Mahavuthivanij said, and the individual with the most gifts will win the battle.

Crypto Bros can take action by gambling on who will win through Sportsbook Bet105. Moreover, dancers have the option to be paid in crypto – at the high level of debt that the founder in the industry has noticed, he said – together with gifts that can be purchased with crypto.

TFH will be organized weekly live stream Events until October 4, when the grand finale will take place.

Mahavuthivanij told Decrypt That the idea for TFH came from meeting exotic dancers in Las Vegas and trying to understand the challenges with which they are confronted. Some obstacles, he said, were close to ‘legitimacy and professionalism’, and he wanted to repair that.

“Seeing the UFC legitimeer and professionalizing combat sports,” Mahavuthivanij explained, “I had something like that [blender]And the other side came this crazy idea to change this from an online battle. ‘

Mixed martial arts were confronted with a treacherous path where it is today, where the UFC is now looking for a Event in the White House. In fact, MMA was once Forbidden in 36 American statesWith senator John McCain who calls the ‘human rooster fight’. It cost the Add UFC weight classes, prohibiting certain techniques and setting judges – as well as the creation of the Uniform rules of mixed martial arts– before the sport had any sense of legitimacy.

However, TFH will not let his competition be officers. On the contrary, the winner will be determined by the public, of which Mahavuthivanij expects it to be made mainly from men – give a new meaning to the expression ‘human rooster fights’.

“We see how this can be transmitted as a popularity competition, at least at this stage. That is a kind of potential how we think about it,” the founder said. “We are not necessarily pioneering with this kind of model. If you look at shows like [“American Idol”]The audience texts in and chooses who they want to see, go further. They touch their audience; It is an interactive experience. “

Of course there are already counting and exotic dance races.

International Twerkkampioenen includes a series of Local competitions That led to one struggle. There are multiple style categories – such as Taking on Heels – and they are assessed by Teachers. This is done because the average viewer may not understand what an impressive move is – the same reason that sports such as rhythmic gymnastics on the Olympic Games require qualified jury members.

Mahavuthivanij argued that the International Twerk Champions is too irregular, has limited price pools and small viewers. His goal is to push TFH to a level that the sport still has to see by organizing regular events.

Yet what the International Twerk Champions has about TFH, the right judges – Mahavuthivanij hopes to iron that over time with expert comments. That should help with “teaching people” about what they should look for, he said, what the competition could give extra depth and help prevent it from being a content based on appearance or popularity.

“As soon as people begin to understand what they should look for, we can develop it to that next level of objectivity versus strictly subjectivity,” Mahavuthivanij added.

Exotic dancers are confronted with enormous stigmatization in society, noticed the CEO, and he hopes that TFH can expand to other niches after this first tournament. He explained that many dancers have closed their bank accounts, an epidemic that did that also wiped the sex work industry. For that reason, TFH Dancers offers the option to be paid in crypto.

“As I built this, if I’m honest, I have experienced a lot of the same stigma what they stand for every day,” Mahavuthivanij said Decrypt. “This is something that has been here forever and will stay here. And I think it’s time for us to offer legitimacy for it.”
