Bitcoin Forum

I read a thread in here that reminded me of something I mentioned on reddit a little while back:

If porn helped VHS win over Beta thanks to being cheap and plentiful, why can't porn help bitcoin in the same way?

Shy people making sex-toy purchases online, people signing up to swinger sites, or cheating spouces signing up to Ashleymadison.com etc... I'm sure many of these people would prefer that a payment NOT show up on their credit card statements (even if the transaction shows up under a generic name).  If these sites accepted bitcoin, they may do some extra business.

It's just a thought. With Silk Road doing the business it does, I'm surprised that adult-themed sites haven't started inquiring about this kind of thing.

Some have, but one of the reason that porn sites exist is to harvest credit card data, for the exact reason that some of the user's are unlikely to file charges against them for fear of their spouse finding out about it.  Instead, they will just close the account and pay the false charges.

Honestly, both porn and gambling exist as borderline socially acceptable enterprises online.  Would you trust your CC data (and thus your identity) to an anonymous online drug site, even if it claimed to be legit?

People smart enough to use Bitcoins are also smart enough to not need to pay for porn.

Loosing a lot of money by buying BTC is probably about as damaging to a lot of relationships as being caught buying a pocket-pussy.

Been having longs talks with someone whom is a passion party consultant and seeing if they would like to allow me to resale their stuff on CheaperInBitcoins.com (http://cheaperinbitcoins.com)... Hopefully she says yes it would make things go a lot quicker then finding and reviewing reputable resellers... Wish me luck!
