Similarity to VHS/Betamax

Hihi, I'm old enough to remember when VHS tapes came on the scene. In the first couple of years, they were very expensive to purchase and the only content that was on them was soft porn. In fact, had it not been for the porn industry the widespread adoption of videotapes would have been delayed for much longer. Just comparing to bitcoins and the relative size of the black/illicit markets. Maybe without these players, the widespread adoption of bitcoin might be delayed too. Just thinking.

That's quite thought provoking. I'd be interested to see how Bitcoin makes the jump from the "black/illicit markets" over to the legitimate ones. There are quite a few hurdles to get over to make it to the mainstream.

Yeah, but porn is usually much sexier than being scammed out of money.
Now the interesting question is: Is porn sexier than scamming people out of money?

There have been some attempts, but I don't think they exist anymore.
There's some fat girls getting naked on reddit for BTC, but that's more a niche market i guess.
Someone is reselling Kink accounts for BTC in the marketplace.
And that's about it I think.

Somebody should set up a file hosting service like the defunct megaupload that only accepts BTC. Another thing, why don't these sites encrypt all the files and allow anyone to download them. But you need to pay some BTC to obtain the key to unlock the content. Would this work?
