Can porn sites make bitcoin more popular or will it brings negative effects?

[yupi84crypto]

As we all know, porn sites are at the top which are frequently visited by people in the internet world. So in my opinion if a porn site accepts
payments with bitcoin it will make bitcoin more popular and used by many people.Because transactions on porn sites we need privacy and
bitcoin can provide a solution. But on the other hand we have to admit porn sites can make the image worse in the eyes of some people.
So in your opinion, if a porn site accepts payments with bitcoin can make bitcoin more popular or will it be dangerous for the future of bitcoin
because it brings negative effects?

I dont see any negative impact towards the future of Bitcoin if majority of the porn site accepts Bitcoin as an option for payment. In fact, it will help Bitcoin to spread it's popularity and adaption, because people will understand the value of cryptocurrency in the field of currencies.
Debit cards, CC, and other form of digital currency was use to purchase or payment for premium/VIP accounts in all pornsites and is actually nothing wrong with that. Same case with Bitcoin.

At first,It is not every one that sees porn as been negative, though you said well on porn site gaining more attention in this world. But in as much as some of us know that it is not a good channel at which Bitcoin should spread to avoid further pollution and unconscious promotion of porn, which I wouldn't subscribe to also,but don't you think many will take it spiritual or bitcoin itself would not care but will be after it's progressive circulation.

Its more a optics issue because porn sites constantly hit users with malware and crypto connection to ransomware is already damaging.  So it would be more damaging at this point due to banks slowly opening up to crypto, could cause a set back.

Pornsites can accept bitcoin but i think this will not have negative impact in bitcoin because those people who not visited porn site will not use bitcoin. And this is not mean that if you know bitcoin you will also know porn website and use your bitcoin to pay in live show.

the porn site might have a high traffic of users but I think it might also help in making bitcoin popular and more acceptable but the major drawback is that some companies do not want to associate themselves with payment systems that support immorality. In the same way, some of the available payment processors do not want users that participate in an online gambling. also, porn sites are known to be a huge base for malware and harmful flash ads. The virus can easily steal your wallet information

Before that, I have another question. If a porn site accept fiat like PayPal, visa/master card, does it effect on fiat currency? I don't think so. So technically if porn site accept bitcoin there shouldn't any negative effect. Rather than it would be more easy to hide identity if porn viewers could pay via bitcoin. Whoever's against bitcoin from beginning, they will say always negative, but who care? I believe by this way bitcoin payment methods will be popular for regular porno viewers. No dangers expected.

AFAIK a big platform like Chaturbate accepts bitcoin payments via Coinpayments.
I don't know about any other big porn platforms that accept cryptocurrency payments.
If you ask me,BTC adoption in the online porn industry doesn't have any positive or negative impact over bitcoin.BTC is accepted in the online gambling business for years and gambling addiction can be more damaging than porn addiction.Both industries have a bad image,but who cares,millions of people watch porn and play gambling games online everyday.

[sheenshane]

AFAIK a big platform like Chaturbate accepts bitcoin payments via Coinpayments.

Chaturbate is the number one of the list out of those 33 Porn Sites Accepting BTCs. This business sector was going widely now and there are more people keep using Bitcoin as a payment for better privacy purposes.

I didn't see any negative impact because that doesn't involve any crime relate issues. I agree with Coolcryptovator that using fiat currency has no impact, how much more on using Bitcoin might the same situation as well to fiat. But this isn't. Choosing Bitcoin as payment is good for your privacy and I think that was most people like and again, there's no negative impact with that.

[xvids]

I don't think that there would be a negative effect on Bitcoin if porn sites starts to accept it as a payment option.
For me I think it would just help Bitcoin specially if the big porn sites starts to accept it and use it.
The only negative side would be when the governments force to stop them or if some users are uploading something illegal and they would get paid with crypto.

yes bitcoin might be so popular once any pornsites accepting it as a payment but in a bad way, it will help to people get interest what is bitcoin and why its usable in porn site. Then the addoption may start because they will wonder how this bitcoin things work and how to have it.

In Bitcoin's early days, it was often associated with the Silk Road marketplace and similar darknet activity. Law enforcement and the media associated Bitcoin with criminals and politicians were pushing for legal crackdowns because of that.

Did that endanger Bitcoin's future? No, quite the opposite. Persistent acceptance among criminals has always lent Bitcoin legitimacy as a store of value, and it's long provided a basis for demand (adoption) too.

Porn is actually a legitimate, legal industry so it's not even a threat in the same way.

The main goal of introducing digital currency in the world is to create globalized and decentralized economy  so crypto like BTC into the porn sector could be highly beneficial, acceptance of bitcoin by such organization is no surprise as it becoming need in daily basis. But the negative impact in my view is children's have to stay away from this.

[dentolas]

Porn sites are just another business that is used by millions all over the world... for BTC to be accepted as payment option it would definitely be good news as it would increase awareness, and surely increase transfer volume... I see nothing illegal or shady about this
The only problem is that BTC is not private and I have doubts if the network would be able to handle the volume... but these are obstacles that can be worked...

[FaithInCrypto]

Using BTC on these sites could be really beneficial for the adaptation of crypto into the market.
I am not sure about "it won't have a negative effect" though as you can see it's already well known that BTC is used in some illegal activities and using it on porn sites might have an additional effect on the bad reputation of BTC, especially from conservative people. 

[stompix]

If they do the same way as livejasmin does, it will not make it popular one bit





What costs 178 euro with a credit card costs 196 euro when paying with bitcoin.
Would you pay 10% just so you could use bitcoin?

I doubt it.

If porn sites don't figure a way to deal with bitcoin directly, and they still have to rely on a third-party payment processor which also relies on an exchange to convert it into fiat and then ironically depends on a bank to transfer the fiat to the service provider there will be no advantages when regarding fees, making the whole thing more expensive for both business and customer.

[HatakeKakashi]

My classmates told me that they have porn sites that accepting bitcoin as payment to access the special videos or they can able to become VIP to that site. I don't see any negative effects on that but they have positivity because even porn sites help us to promotethe bitcoin but for the minors it is not good because they still not better to watch the porn but if you are legal age and use bitcoin for porn sites I don't see any problem for that.

[20kevin20]

Although it's probably one of the largest industries out there, I see no reason it would change Bitcoin. Like come on, aren't we already past the "X is accepting Bitcoin!" stage?

The only thing it helps with is that you can buy a subscription without your gf/wife knowing you're a porn addict.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

As long as it's legal porn, I don't see any problem with bitcoin being the payment method whatsoever.  In fact, I think it's an almost perfect use for bitcoin, since most people don't want to put a porn subscription or whatever on their credit/debit card.  And why should bitcoin get a bad rap?  Before it existed, people paid for porn with fiat--and drugs, weapons, as well as funding terrorists, too.  The USD never got its reputation smeared because of that, and bitcoin shouldn't either.

As I said, legal porn.  But I'm pretty sure bitcoin's reputation has been sullied because of illegal kiddie porn busts that made the news and where bitcoin was involved.  Bitcoin shouldn't get blamed for any of that, but people don't think critically about most things and even fewer understand what bitcoin is.  That's life.

[Linkkoin]

Porn sites and paying with cryptocurrencies directly would be beneficial for people who would like to hide the fact of using such websites as they buy crypto on exchange and send the crypto directly to the porn site.
In such case from the point of view of the spouse/partner, you would see a transaction linked to eg. Linkkoin exchange, not a porn-related company. And as wallets are not under names of companies/individuals - it would be hard to reveal for what crypto was used for.
So then if the trading volume and number of transactions within blockchain would have been increased thanks to porn it could be beneficial.

BUT - as someone already pointed out: these websites may be subject to hacks, and in case of replacing the porn website owned wallet addresses to hackers one - you will not get your money back. Unless there will be uploaded some sort of short movie of  a porn star writing the wallet address on a paper
