Bitcoin Forum

Regarding the recent update of pornhub. That demands users not to re-upload porn and left some users and investors checking which side of the adult sites will be profitable. VISA and Mastercard stopped their contract with porn hub for reasons I don't know much about. But recently Pornhub integrated bitcoin as their payment method. https://ibb.co/fNCL98R and I ask it could be sooner or later until other porn sites or companies take steps like pornhub did. What do you think will happen to cryptocurrency? this can bring a bull run into the market?

First, we are already in the bull run, from $3000-$19,000, that a huge spike in the price.

Second, yes, I'm a firm believer that every industry that adopts bitcoin will bring it closer to adoption. But porn industry is a niche, so I doubt that it will bring the market to the bull run. However, this is positive news, so why not? Maybe it will set a precedence to the adult industry to accept bitcoin, but as far as I know many have started this years ago, specially in the bull run of 2017, but I'm not sure if those companies are successful.

Pornhub has been accused of filming unconscious women 👩 getting fucked.

It is defined as rape since the woman 👩 can not give consent.

I think trying to use pornhub on the downlow with tor and btc is going to a lot people fucked harder then the unconscious women that were filmed being fucked or raped.

Porn companies might be a niche but it is one damn big niche, the porn in the Internet is the biggest industry existing by far, I agree that it will not bring a bull run but it will be a big adoption because there are a lot of users whether those users want to admit it or not that they are surfing the Internet for porn.

That is pretty disgusting to be honest, if this accusation is true though, I do not think that it will be a problem for Pornhub because they seem to be unfazed by this and they just deal with the issue without fuzz. Hopefully, no videos of this nature resurface because this only perpetuates the acceptance of rape in society. Also, who in their right mind watches this kind of video?

It's childish to think that a single site (even the biggest porn one) could move the whole market. Cryptocurrencies are still a nerd niche and far from mass adoption.

Pornhub could raise other things... but cannot be a reason behind a bull run in a 500 billion market.

It was apparently because of PornHub not doing anything about those unsolicited so called “revenge porn”(a.k.a rape) videos along with videos with minors.

Technically this is good news for Bitcoin as it just proves that bitcoin is unstoppable money, I sure wish PornHub does fix their shit(assuming the accusations are true).

Right, it is good news for bitcoin here, I'm not sure which is either of the two Visa or Mastercard that has suspending the use of their card pending investigation. But in any case, not only BTC is accepted, there are a lot of crypto as well, LTC, Verge even USDT.

So obviously, there is a mutual benefits and profitable in the end.

Bitcoin and crypto can be easily used on porn sites as compare to the credit cards and i think every adult should allow payment through bitcoins.
The bitcoin will be more stable when more people will adopt it and use it in their businesses.

One or two isolated incidents used to target an online video streaming site, which has millions of videos. The video mentioned here was uploaded by one of the users and the allegation is that Pornhub didn't suspended the user and deleted the video soon enough. How can they do that without proper investigation? What going on now is just another witch hunt by radical Christian organizations, who want to ban porn.

It sure is mutual. Screw those other coins though. It's funny how that they LTC and XVG while they seem to have decided to not accept ETH even if it's like the 3rd most liquid cryptocurrency we have right now behind USDT and BTC. Not that I like ETH, but yea.

What happens to cryptocurrency is people will see that the crypto can be used for subscribing to the services, including to subscribe to the porn industries. I think the gambling and porn industries will be the gate that will open the adoption process will be wide because people will be interested in hiding who they are who use those services.

It could give a chance to the bull run to comes in the next year, and if that happens, we will see the crypto market will get more supports from new people who use those services.

Its usually what would happen. Once the competitor knew others are considering btc snd other cryptocurrency,  others will also try to adopt to take a pie of that marketshare.

There are certainly number  of users from banned countries and are willing to pay using crypto. Its certainly a big chunk of profit there.

XVG became the first crypto adopted by PornHub since April 2018 and made the price of XVG soar beyond expectations. now Pornhub is adding LTC and BTC as payment for their premium content.

I'm also a fan of ETH like you, but it seems that pornhub is not happy with ETH and is missing it.

Pornhub's next plan will also add TRX and ZEN. Their models are also paid for using USDT stablecoins (https://www.coindesk.com/pornhub-now-lets-models-get-paid-with-the-tether-stablecoin). The use of USDT as payment for their model is due to traditional funding issues in the past with paypal suddenly blocking payments to the pornhub site without any explanation.

The adult film industry has also been able to make room for cryptocurrency, providing better payment methods without having to use VISA and Paypal.

PornHub didn't necessarily "adopt" XVG by their own terms though. It's a "partnership" a.k.a. most likely a paid sponsorship to accept their coin. Because if PornHub would adopt a cryptocurrency in the first place, wouldn't it make sense to accept BTC? Or if they're taking the privacy side, probably XMR? But nope.

Anyway, since we're talking about PornHub anyway, here's a throwback to an epic response from PornHub in 2018:

Would they have adopted Bitcoin as a payment option if it isn't worth it? I believe everyone knows the answer, hence what I see from this is value and acceptance, that is, Bitcoin is of huge value thereby it's trusted and this trust leads to it being accepted by this platform. Also, with this move by this adult platform Pornhub, shows they are freeing themselves from any form of payment restrictions thus setting the part for others to follow. What will happen to cryptocurrency is that, more audience or more people will now understand the potential it has and that is can be perfectly integrated into any business or platform thereby accommodating all users, thus a win-win for them.

If small percentage will use bitcoin for their transaction on adult sites then maybe this will not give a huge impact although its a great addition since it can make the bitcoin rotate due to its transaction. But maybe we can assume that there will be a bull run will came if many big companies come together with huge strong support of the whales then from this maybe we can trigger that to happen.

Actually, there are already adult companies that are accepting bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. They even make a public announcement to it. I guess it was redtube or pornhub. Anyway, I am not against with the adult companies using cryptocurrency for payment because it can guarantee a privacy among its user when using bitcoin as part or option of for payment when utilizing the adult company products.

This adult companies are really popular that millennials are really open minded when it comes to that.

Most of the bitcoin investors are millennials, so it doesn't matter to them as it really help the bitcoin's adoption around the world. But the thing is that there are people against it because it shows very mature content and some stories there are really not a good thing to exploit and show that this platforms are good to access.

But relating it in a bull run is really not that practical or irrelevant.

The bigger the number of people who use bitcoin to transact in the porn industry, I think more and more new people will enter the cryptocurrency industry. This could be a positive impact for Bitcoin and Altcoin to show what cryptocurrency can do.

Yes, transact freely, peer to peer, transparent and fair, I believe the existence of cryptocurrency will get a positive response, especially for people who do not have a bank. They will experience freedom of transaction and also the ease of making payments without the need to send their identity to an institution that has nothing to do with our business.

This is only proove that we are now in Mass adoption ,stopping their contract to pornhub means they don't want to earn money from a porn website and they don't want to tolerate such activity . Not only Bitcoin there are also other crypto currency is added in their platfrom and the latest update is they add monero just this day .

This is a good point.

I have another one If I search  "mature milf loves her husband's d... " video    both bing and google will give hundreds of hits .

Many will links show girls close to or under age. How come google and bing are not punished for this.

I saw this new recently and I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see more and more online porn/adult companies starting to accept bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.  I do believe that pornhub all accepts Litecoin, though I would have to double check that ( when I'm not at work lol ).

To answer your question, yes, I do believe that this will help continue the bull run and the mass adoption of bitcoin and cryptocurrency.  The more companies that hop on board the better.

Now many sites and projects are involving in this all because Credit Cards issues are giving some very bad impact things and helping many scammers and thieves for many purposes but this bitcoin and cryptocurrencey is much better and safe way for them so if pornhub is coming then we can hope many more will join and we will have some good adoption through this all in coming years with the help of this all.

Can it bring a bull run? not likely. I suppose you understand that porn industry is a big sector globally but not so big that suppose integration will cause bull run except all of them accept bitcoin at a specific time which I do not think will happen. Porn site using crypto has been things that is expected because of full anonymity that some crypto such as monero offers. Pornhub accepting this might just be coincidence with when VISA has stopped users for using their card on the platform. International bodies has been advocating for ban by credit card usage on porn site for a while now https://www.bbc.com/news/world-52543508 so I believe this will not be only applicable to pornhub alone but all other pornsite so it is more likely they all switch to other payment options such as the crypto

Not a surprise at all coz this adoption will happen and it already takes place in other big and known companies. Pornhub sectors are also into its adoption, they want their clients and users to maximize their Bitcoin, they are giving such option to make them comfortable.

it won't but that something it drives also people to make use of their Bitcoin and could also add demand on Bitcoin. Price could possibly uplift but that is not enough to make hypes.

They will. It's a known and huge company. If other companies which are in the industry would also have problems with Visa, Mastercard and any other processor in the same field.
They have no option but to integrate their service with bitcoin and altcoins payment.

I am sure VISA and Mastercard will regret their decision to stop service payments on the Pornhub website. Because as we know Pornhub
as an adult company that has a large number of customers, it will provide enormous benefits too. Therefore, the payment platforms in
collaboration with Pornhub will definitely get huge profits. Now Pornhub prefers Bitcoin as a payment method, at least it will have an effect
on the price of Bitcoin. I believe one of the reasons the bullrun this year, Pornhub contributed to the increase in the price of Bitcoin.

Pornhub may contribute in increasing bitcoin awareness and adaption since more and more people will see the name bitcoin in the payment section and for sure some of them will be curious about it. Look at what happened to XVG price when they added it to their website for example.

There is a valid reason on why did Visa and Mastercard cancelled they contract with Pornhub, it is about the accusation on pornhub about some of their videos. Pornhub is indeed one of the biggest adult website right now but I think it is not a big loss for Visa and Mastercard there are larger companies that they have partnership with.

Visa and Mastercard doesn't care much about businesses such as Pornhub, because even if they refuse to provide services to Pornhub it will have a minimal impact on their revenues. For them, it is more beneficial to take a moral highground rather than to provide their services to porn sites. Bitcoin should make use of this opportunity to get more acceptable. My only concern is regarding the transaction fees.

If Visa and Mastercard stop their contract with the pornhub, it could reduce their income from the porn industries because the porn industries give a lot of money to that company. And if bitcoin can integrate into their system, I think the pornhub can attract more customer who uses bitcoin, and they can subscribe their services using bitcoin. It will give bitcoin more chance to grow more in the future, and people from the porn industries will also know about bitcoin and use it.

And all those customers were paying with credit cards issued by VISA and MasterCard.
Do you think that people will switch to paying with bitcoin or they will switch and start paying for another website?
If we make a poll on this forum you will see that bitcoin owners have a tendency to not spend, most of them either trade or hold, so no, if their plan is living on bitcoin and other crypto transactions they will close shop in months.

I wonder if from the twenty or so people here claiming bitcoin would increase the customer base, is anyone willing to pay with BTC for porn? Doubt it!


And look at the price now... ;D

Let's start with the fact that we have been in a bullish trend for a long time, and if we talk about the introduction of bitcoin as a payment in the field of porn, then this of course can cause even more excitement for bitcoin, since many porn companies are interested in such a form of payment as bitcoin as it can still provide greater anonymity for users of similar sites and platforms

I have read somewhere it all started last year when a video of a minor that was posted in pornhub. The minor went missing for months and someone eventually found out the video and informed it to their parents. Its not only this. There seems to be claims of abusive and rape videos that has millions of views. VISA and mastercard has perfect reason to not  support platforms like pornhub where they don't take any responsibility. I remember reading today that they started removing like most of the contents from their site.
Feels disgusting to see how some people thinks that this is a joke though. And no, pornhub accepting crypto won't make a new bull run.

Before these big companies adopted bitcoin, probably they have doubts or questions in there mind before they engaged to it.

Courage is what we need, I think that those companies are just taking some time to think, explore, and study how bitcoin will help their business grow more.

Maybe that's the key why these big companies are adopting bitcoin this year 2020, they see that during these times, bitcoin is becoming popular and its price is having some progress. Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, are some examples that bitcoin is really good to use in that platform.

With that issue with VISA and MasterCard, Bitcoin can also be a good alternative payment method in pornhub. And since we are seeing news about giant companies adopting bitcoin, then there is a higher possibility that other porn sites and companies in this industry will also adopt bitcoin. The good thing that will happen once we saw more companies accepting bitcoin payments is that it will help bitcoin to get more recognized for mass adoption.

Bitcoin gives you more privacy than VISA in my opinion. VISA has your personal information so they know what you're doing to earn money, while it is the complete opposite of Bitcoin. Bitcoin wouldn't require anything but a device and internet for you to create a non-custodial wallet for your Bitcoin's safety, and it's much less hassle.

If you're doing adult videos secretly, then switching to Bitcoin as the pornhub response is the best way to give assurance to their models that their privacy is in the good hands, tho it would still depends on how they are going to use it.

I bump into thread about Spotify accepting cryptocurrency I think. This was from the CEO of binance https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1334712918265352194 well let's hope that more and more companies will start accepting cryptocurrency.

for adult industry problems doing transactions with crypto I don't think it's a problem. because btc does not have a legal entity and that is the decision of the industry. even with the large number of adult site viewers it seems possible to introduce much more bitcoin to people.

With the introduction of Bitcoin through Visa and MasterCard it's use as a payment system will become much easier and companies will be able to transact very easily. Many people do not use Bitcoin directly for cash conversion so MasterCard will not have any hassle for legal transactions in all countries. Adult companies will be able to improve their organization from before. Various companies will be associated with them and will increase the use of Bitcoin by signing agreements with many large companies.

Bitcoin being used by people as a payment option even with this kind of situation of using it on adult companies or pornsites like Pornhub can really lead to mass adaption of using Bitcoin since with the issue that they have with Visa, the happening will push through adult companies to find another way through on how they can be able to continue their works even their partner payment system is not present. But even such mass adaption will be brought up due to reason that many users or subscribers of adult companies will flood to use Bitcoin as a payment option, still there is no guarantee that it will push Bitcoin into a bull run.

Every company and even individuals have doubted bitcoin before as a means of payment. But they have no choice if their main payment partner will back out and push them away.
At least, they still have the option for bitcoin which is easier for them to accept it. They just didn't accepted bitcoin, also other alts have been added to their payment scheme.

Bitcoin payment gateway is getting added on different services. Here, this has been added to the adult services. This is like when one door is closed the other gets opened. Visa and MasterCard getting out of providing services to pornhub have made it add way through bitcoin. This helps in making people know about bitcoin which most of the people hasn't used earlier. Every industry using Bitcoin as payment or on other needs contribute to the growth in some way.

The use of Bitcoin for that site will bring larger users and holders of Bitcoin. Knowing how big the users it has it will really help Bitcoin gain publicity and even new investors for bitcoin. We've seen different companies like Paypal adapting bitcoin, and this only mean the growth will continue. Its the best time to really accumulate more of bitcoin knowing that big companies and even institutions are coming in to the decentralized system.

In this case, cryptocurrency is easy to use as a means of payment on adult sites. it has even been widely used and adopted. especially if it is accepted on pornhub it will be good. Pornhub is a very well-known and top-rated adult site. In this case, if more and more industries adopt and use Bitcoin, the possibility of demand will be even more if this usage goes on smoothly. so in essence the more it is used, the better it is for the value of Bitcoin itself

There is a valid reason on why did Visa and Mastercard cancelled they contract with Pornhub, it is about the accusation on pornhub about some of their videos. Pornhub is indeed one of the biggest adult website right now but I think it is not a big loss for Visa and Mastercard there are larger companies that they have partnership with.

This is so true. There is no effective way to sanitize the internet of illegal content without imposing widespread censorship and mandatory KYC. This seems to be the goal of the anti-porn crusaders who are using this 'protect the children' appeal to emotion to censor online free speech through legislation such as the EARN IT Act.


That is not true at all. This type of content is not allowed on Pornhub and they always take action to remove that stuff. Most of it before it even goes live. There are far fewer cases of illegal content on Pornhub than on Facebook and Twitter but there is a big double standard because they are an adult company. They are feeding you propaganda to promote their agenda. Just today there was another of these BS articles in The Guardian saying that porn is a gateway drug to child abuse.

That's not what revenge porn is. Do you really think they will show crimes taking place? Do you also claim they are children? Not sure where you getting this from. Revenge porn is when you and your gf film yourself having sex and you have a breakup and the one is pissed off and uploads the video online. Not sure why your mind goes to rape or why you think a company would be committing such a serious crime online. I use pornhun often and I have never come across any of what you are talking about. You actually have legal protection on pornhub and there is a lot you can do if someone leaks your videos.

That's why if you want to make sex tape either don't at all or sign a legal form then if someone gets nasty they break the contract and must abide by the consequences.




I am starting to get very concerned about some people and their ridiculously incorrect and downright disgusting comments.

"Pornhub has been accused of filming unconscious women 👩 getting fucked." Oh really? Link or it never happened.

I think trying to use pornhub on the downlow with tor and btc is going to a lot people fucked harder then the unconscious women that were filmed being fucked or raped.

Now you just getting plain stupid. Why would I use a VPN to access porn? I don't care if people know I watch porn so what? There is nothing wrong with porn or sed work or ex-workers.
I'm not sure where you getting rape from but thats pretty messed up dude seriously.

I have another one If I search  "mature milf loves her husband's d... " video    both bing and google will give hundreds of hits .

What is the problem with this?? You even know what a milf is? So you have a problem with the mother of a man sleeping with that man? So should I tell my mom to stop sleeping with my dad now too?

Many will links showgirls close to or underage. How come google and bing are not punished for this.

Close to underage doesn't mean underage do you know how to do maths? They fully grown adults 18+ capable of making their own minds up. You answered your own question. Bing and google do nothing because its not illigal.

That's like saying I don't need to go to jail for trying to shoot someone because the bullet was "close to the person" and didn't actually hit them...





Some of you seriously have some unhealthy views about sex and it's quite disturbing to me. It's 2020 embrace being weird embrace your fetishes.

Also I promise you if girls were being raped pornhub would be shut down and an investigation of epic proportions would take place.

These are the same people that believe boiler rooms and red rooms exist on the dark web. The same people who also think the darkweb is some weird place for sick people and that you magically gain access to horror movie style situation. Seriously stop reading the media and watching so much TV. I also know you the same people who think cars explode.


Another thing is. BDSM BDLG and all these other kinds are all fully concented. It's amazing how close-minded some people are. Just because it looks like you being tortured doesn't mean you actually are. They want that.

Proper porn is a respectable business. If you and some friends can make money having sex then why not. Your life your choice.

Many porn lovers will not stop, due to their passion with sex and I guess that's a human instinct of every young generation to watch every videos been uploaded to this site. Bitcoin as their payment will generate and boost the demand, as viewers increase, every person who happen to know about the convenience of using digital currency will provide them the satisfaction they desire.

This simple shows the fact that bitcoin is what we all need. They couldn't rely on VISA and Master card, and probably, they may have ran out of choices. This is an absolute example. The more people see and read such news, the more they know the freedom they are missing out on.

Of the adult companies want to capitalize on bitcoin as a means of subscription for their viewers then it’s a welcome development for Cryptocurrency but shouldn’t be exaggerated because I don’t see a possibility of a single industry putting bitcoin in a bull run.

And it’s shouldn’t sound so marvelous to us because just like master cards, Visa cards and so on bitcoin can also be used to make online payment and gain access through different digital platforms that requires payments.

No, it is not what we all need, it just happens that pornhub services only accepting Bitcoin but if you see other business platforms, they are accepting different altcoins. And this to say that pornhub services aren't big enough to push the market to a high level. If that we only depend on them, no, it is impossible to reach back even at $20,000.

The adoption continuous, many big companies are already accepting Bitcoin that which gives a boost to its price, and definitely, we can expect more pumps in the future especially when the government pushes people to use a cashless payment system.

It's more convinient to pay in fiat like PayPal rather Bitcoin. Transaction of Bitcoin is very expensive compared to fiat and also the transaction speed of BTC is very slow. BTC is not that convenient to use anymore for payments and money transfer due to fee and speed issue. Besides that, Most of the AV companies will hire payment solution for Bitcoin conversion to fiat since crypto market is very volatile.

Sites like porhub has issues with the government so to continue the business without any interuptions pornhub use Bitcoin because Bitcoin is a decentralized asset no rules just get in touch with it and your good to go.

In my opinion, this is quite natural if the usual payment methods are not available. This will happen over and over again, and in my opinion, it is much more convenient for a client who does not want to disclose their details. I use the donation button  (https://nowpayments.io/?utm_source=1337) integrated with Nowpayments alongside fiat donations and I've noticed that it brings in a lot more fees.

Companies adopting bitcoin as a payment method is a big help to the adaptation of bitcoin and might also bring the price of bitcoin up. Depending on what the company plans to their bitcoin but since they are accepting bitcoin meaning they were also investing in bitcoin. The market price of bitcoin was so volatile so it's so risky to implement it in a business if your not an investor or you don't even believe on bitcoin.

For now the cryptocurrency like bitcoin is not suitable for payment just because of the volatile market price, but as it grows over the years it could easily adapt.

The adult film industry's adoption of bitcoin and other altcoins has also occurred. this is also to make it easier for users to make their premium account payments. Even now, PornHub also provides payments with 13 cryptocurrencies to choose from. this is an alternative payment option that is very efficient and more private than having to use Visa and MaterCard and paypal which are quite complicated to pay.
even though the price of cryptocurrency is unstable because of its high voting, cryptocurrency is a safe choice for those who are concerned with their privacy without having to be identified.

I think it is a good one to really keep the anonymity of those who would avail their promo.
But I thought that there are crypto or alt-coin for adult industry?
I think this is their chance to finally gain some attention.

That really depends on the website that you are using, definitely more people will prefer discretion when it comes to this kind of adult website, but on other like Twitch or Youtube, you might want to get some shoutout from your favorite content creator.

Some of the Christian organizations (especially Exodus Cry) have waged a high pitched campaign against porn websites (Pornhub being the #1 target) for the past many years and finally they seems to have convinced Visa/Master to ban providing payment services to Pornhub. Accepting direct payments in BTC is going to help these sites, but they need to look in to the regulatory restrictions and tax complications which will result from it. 

Its too bad PornHub accepting Bitcoin is seen as a reaction to them getting blacklisted by mainstream payment processors. Makes BTC seem like the "sketchy" alternative. IMO Pornhub WAS doing the best job at being a "mainstream" porn site. Any sites that allow users to upload content is going to have the problems they had. YouTube even has those types of problems...

That being said, tons of content producing porn companies have been accepting BTC for years. Most of the major studios do. Verotel (one of the largest payment processors for small niche studios) used to accept BTC as well. Unfortunately they stopped when Bitpay stopped allowing adult services. I suspect with verotel at least 1000+ adult sites were able to accept BTC. I've been trying to bug them to find a way to accept it again... Hopefully this most recent bull run does the trick.

If you're curious what porn sites accept BTC right now you can check out a site I've been putting together: https://bitcoinporndirectory.com (https://bitcoinporndirectory.com)

This is good chance for the adult sites to reclaim their VIP customers because visa and MasterCard will block the cards and adult sites will also block the access if not paid on time. If the users know bitcoin then surely they will have option to pay with it but I don’t think many of them are willing to go with that option.

It’s like some of the users would love to hide their identity by paying with the bitcoin and not showing up the porn site name in their credit card bill statement. Lolz

It’s funny and valuable both at the same time.

Another thing worth mentioning is recurring payments. Many of these porn sites make money off recurring payments. Many people sign up with credit cards and then let it auto renew. None of the porn sites I've seen have a great way of renewing a membership with BTC. It's clunly.

Unfortunately It's hard for companies to understand that by offering Bitcoin they are getting NEW customers that they wouldn't have received before, not losing customers to a lower LTV payment method.

We've already expected that many companies and industries will begun the adaptation of the bitcoin, one the major reason is that the market is in the current state of bull run in which it looks forward by the companies to adapt and yet to make payments through this. Good to hear that a porn industry is trying to adapt the bitcoin and making it as a payment method to them and because of this it may boost the adaptation of bitcoin to the world.

Cryptocurrency systems have a lot to offer to the adult industry. Since credit card companies and banks consider porn a high-risk sector, rife with disputed transactions, adult sites pay considerably more in fees and workaround costs to process payments than most industries, and for us, this is also the right measure on how to increase crypto adoption and give people opportunity to discover all benefits by using it without risking their hard earned money that is why I was in favor of this development.

Well, porn can be quickly related to crypto currency as most of the people that wanted to buy premium on these sites are ashamed to connect or relate their bank accounts to these sites. Some banks are even locking accounts connected to these sites which is annoying to some.

Auto-renewals are not possible if the payment is being done directly with Bitcoin. But it may be possible if BitPay or some other payment processor is being used. So it will be quite similar to accepting the payments with credit card. But I am not a big fan of BitPay, BTW. Previously they had refused to work with Colorado Marijuana shops, saying that they don't want to get associated with semi-legal business.

Well, I can say that the pornhub is doing much more to introduce bitcoin as a means of payment than some of the hodlers here ;D

I think that soon not only porn sites will make it possible to pay with cryptocurrency. Soon, payment with cryptocurrency will be the most convenient. It'll be possible to pay with crypto even in a store. Bitcoin is becoming more popular every day, more and more people are investing in it. In the future, bitcoin technology will be quite developed

It backfired for the porn hub and this integration didn't helped the bitcoin with the recent surge.

Adult websites accepting bitcoin for very long period of time but now they were forced to accept bitcoin as their main subscription payment method since Visa and Mastercard stopped their service with them.

Some do like to be discreet while enjoying watching those porn movies.
Adding crypto is another good move as there are people who are now using this system,
people who invested and now gaining to this venue of investment.

They are now capable of using this payment system to enjoy porn sites who starting to adopt and embrace bitcoin. Gonna love seeing more and more businesses to take part of this market and enjoy the benefits.

Adult companies can really profit and promote Bitcoin at the same time. If they learn about Cryptocurrencies being earned by utilizing their time properly, then it will surely be a hit because they can use it to pay for some adult entertainment. I also think that OnlyFans should do this because most of their users are already knowledgeable and interacts a lot with technology but the chance of affecting the bull run will not be notable because its just another change that we can all benefit from.

It may not have helped for the surge, but it sure helps to spread it to users

Not really, because I was searching for an article which I read weeks back where it stated that Pornhub is struggling to find the content creators due to their verification system. But it may helped to spread the word to huge traffic who are visiting pornhub too often but is it really helped them to adopt for the system?

If I can find the article I will post it here.

It doesn't help adoption.

Porn sites don't and won't really have a big impact on payments because with the amount of free porn in the Internet not many people decide to pay for it. Nowadays you even have live webcams for free and can tip a few dollars to get the content that you desire.

It's great that more companies accept bitcoin but how many bitcoiners will actually spend their money to buy porn? Would you?

I think adding bitcoin as a payment method for porn sites doesn't really make bitcoin go into a bull run but It is for sure a positive thing about bitcoin that companies are adopting bitcoin in their platforms.

Actually, there are some tokens that are created for the sole purpose of bringing them into the porn industry and I know most of them failed but here we are, The biggest adult site adopted bitcoin.

I think so.
Great! Looking forward to the article ::)

definitely raises the pros and cons of cryptocturrency as an option on adult sites. because with them approving bitcoin, there will be lots of people of all ages who can access only by paying with bitcoin. because we know that bitcoin is very easy to get. So it looks like this should be reexamined for pornhub adult sites in overcoming age restrictions

You know it is not the first time Bitcoin has been used as an alternative payment option, when centralized payment options blocked their payment options. Can you still remember when Credit card companies and PayPal stopped payments done to "Backpage"? Yes.. Bitcoin stepped in and they saved the day.  ;)

Pornhub will not be the trigger for the jump in the price .....but it will be a source for some of the movement that will happen in the coming months.  ;)

It's clear that Porn sites wouldn't do much if anything to alter bitcoin's price. For one, the concept of porn is still taboo to many countries and culture, so it wouldn't be that much appreciated in those regions. Number two, only a small percentage of pornography watchers ever pay for a subscription service, most of this coming from OnlyFans which doesn't offer cryptocurrency payments as of the moment. Where pornsites like PornHub and brazzers only see 5-10% of their average viewers subscribing to their site.

Though of course, the more companies adopt crypto, the better and faster global adoption will happen.

Where  I live  Craigslist has banned escorts from  advertising , not to  worry another one popped  up called leolist.  the ladies and men advertising ion it have to pay in bit coin.

I guess because that puts them out of the reach of some stupid law accusing such sites of making money through prostitution or whatever . Even though prostitution here in Canada is legal . The government loop hole is that men requesting sexual services for money ( maybe bit coin too ) is called soliciting and you loose your car for a month I think ,and pay a fine .

But I guess my point is that since sex is the worlds best seller , the more of these porn/ sex sites , that spring up, the more people will become familiar with bit coin .
 Three cheers for the sellers of sex related sites .
We got your back.   

Ahahaha pornhub did the right thing by introducing the ability to pay with Bitcoin. It's such a great honey trap! ;D ;D

Bur seriously, it's a really cool idea. Companies don't stand still and trying to introduce new cool features that will attract new customers. Amazing! I'm already waiting for when I can pay with Bitcoin in a taxi and buy eggs and bread in the store. :D

I saw a different perspective deciding pornhub sites accepting Bitcoin for an alternative way of payment. It can make a huge push to the market but could this help crypto to get known to all pornhub site users. I actually expected this to come as more big companies are into crypto already. Will that it takes time to work but for sure, it never fails as what it happens to altcoins promoting such a thing.

Then, they should have to adapt and accept Bitcoin to help. This gonna be the right time, there is no need for site owners to create coin intended for this as Bitcoin is enough to help it work on their end.

Those things that you have mentioned will still be far from happening. Pornography industry is a very specific sector of Internet so I do not think that a lot can happen when they are putting crypto as part of their payment system. This will be favorable to the people that do not want a pornographic website taint their transaction history.

Christian organizations (especially Exodus Cry) are trying to close down all the porn sites. They are pressuring payment processors to end their association with porn sites, and this was the reason why Visa/Master terminated their contract with Pornhub. Next in line would be gambling sites and even dating sites. Anyway, this is good for the adoption of Bitcoin. Now people would realize the benefits of making payments with BTC.

re uploading a video is copyright  ,

 im okay if they will have that rules but visa and martescard no longer supported on the site can be sad to those that have not discovered bitcoins because how can they now subscribe to premium but adding bitcoin on the update can be a good thing to the bitcoin community mostly to those that didnt use a visa and mastercard because this opens a new posibility to them to try and use their own btc on service like what they are seeing in pornhub .

 the post was old and btc are already pumping and pornhub accepting bitcoin can be one of the reason for this .

A friend of mine tried to send a phone sex company payment of $100 through an MBNA Master card . it was refused by the issuer . He had never mentioned using phone sex to me until then, but this really had him going .
Any way his card had a $22,000 limit  . He phoned the number on the card and asked why his payment was stopped . The woman asked what he had tried to buy and he said phone sex. ( by now this guy's really pissed ) .

 She said they didn't approve of that ,but would allow a one time transaction  . When she asked how much he wanted to transfer he said $22,000 .  ( Knowing she'd refuse ) Naturally she said no she wouldn't allow that much to go for phone sex. After arguing with the dumb bitch he hung up. She probably still thinks he was serious about the$22,000
The moral of this story is always pay for sex with bit coin .   

yes maybe the bitcoin price keep rising  :D ;D lol some of porn addicted will try bitcoin and other altcoin, i dont know this be a good or not cause some kid will untracable now is they start membership ;D

I don't remember the domain, already there are porn sites accepting bitcoin and few other cryptocurrencies for the service. Importantly it pays in terms of bitcoin cash for the users who upload contents. Change is part of the development and now people are at the beginning days of getting into cryptocurrency usage on every needs.

From one side it shows that crypto is considered like an asset and it can be really massively used there where you can not use Visa or Mastercard, crypto is like a good alternative. Someone may like it or not, but such websites and services will always be alive because they are always demanded. It is a reality. But I doubt that it may influence seriously on the crypto market and Bitcoin's price.

Presently numerous locales and ventures are including in this all since Credit Cards issues are giving a few exceptionally awful affect things and making a difference numerous scammers and hoodlums for numerous purposes but this bitcoin and cryptocurrencey is much way better and secure way for them so in case  online users is coming at that point ready to trust numerous more will connect and we'll have a few great appropriation through this all in coming a long time with the assistance of whole community.

There are lots of companies that are now adopting and recognizing the use and nature of bitcoin. Paypal and Visa are one of them, PayPal is one of the biggest online payment systems, and now they are accepting bitcoin, just imagine how big the impact will affect the market because of that. For me, those things are one of the reasons why we have reached a new ATH this year, which is very unbelievable wherein bitcoin hits a new all-time high and it is being doubled in price since 2017.

As far as I know, only pornhub accept bitcoin and altcoin as payment system since they are banned on the master card and visa using this site.

Because they had no choice, most governments banned this site and I think the only one that their operation will not stop, they adopt bitcoin as a payment option. I saw also that adult companies having ads on the crypto casino and I think this is just the beginning of becoming worldwide adoption of bitcoin. I guess there are other adult company will follow the step of what Pornhub accepting bitcoin.

After PayPal ceased to support PornHub any longer, many sex workers’ lives were at a crucial stage and with Bitcoin’s anonymity getting spread all over town, dozens’ of websites decided to play it blindfolded without being stigmatized anyhow by adopting crypto payments. Some adult websites’ advertisements even decided to creep in crypto projects, marking their collaboration with the other.

Visa and Mastercards find providing support to adult websites to be quite risky for which they charge a whacking amount of 5-15% service fee. While traditional payments can charge high fees, bitcoin comes at a cheaper price with the anonymity blocking out any cocked eyebrows. And now, websites that sell adult toys and lubricants are accepting bitcoin as a viable option.

Many adult startups have been springing up in the crypto world like Sexcoin, Jizzcoin, Pinkcoin and so on for a more convenient business. And now for various reasons many people want to hide their PornHub subscription as they seemingly find cryptocurrency as a handy tool that provides their anonymity.

There is no need to be surprised at the obvious things, you need to be happy about the progress of cryptocurrency. Today, many people using the Internet are well aware that cryptocurrency is online money that is more convenient to use online than fiat bank accounts. Cryptocurrency gives freedom and independence of actions on the Internet, which allows you to more conveniently and quickly use your capital to solve financial issues on the Internet. Even for deals when buying world-class famous footballers. A large number of different firms and companies cooperate with cryptocurrency.
