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

[Natalim]

That's why this is what I think also the negative effect of accepting bitcoin to access those pornsite.

Was it really illegal to use bitcoin for pornsites? I mean it's just like gambling in crypto space when gambling is illegal in your country, you want to bypass the restriction, you can't use fiat so you find an alternative and we use bitcoin.

And also this is already happening now bitcoin is already accepted in some not famous porn website.

That's coming from you that it's already happening, so what do you think about the effect?

[fullhdpixel]

The payment method should not be defined by who uses it although the companies are very sensitive about this as you can read how paypal stopped providing services to pornhub, read about it here: https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/14/20965167/paypal-pornhub-payroll-model-program-payment-options-paxum-verge-performers

I believe bitcoins main aim is to keep the individual and payments anonymous and porn is almost similar where almost everyone wants to remain anonymous while they make payments and watch those videos.

I feel that if more and more porn websites start accepting payments in bitcoins that would be good for bitcoins as more people will get to know about bitcoins although it will also bring some bad name to it.

Was it really illegal to use bitcoin for pornsites?

I think not. If there is something illegal about porn and cryptocurrency it is porn itself. Governments even restrict people from watching porn and blocking porn sites in their ISP. Some pornsites even accept debit/credit card payment bitcoin is still money so we are free to use it anywhere in the internet space just like fiats.

Bitcoin has been used by criminals already before up until today and even porn in the dark net. Look what happens to Bitcoin, does anything change? Nothing! Porn sites are just a business who's trying to use the new technology for the benefits of their customers since the anonymity of it helps to hide the identity most of the users.

Exactly! I don't even see what's wrong if someone watches porn because they are not doing any crime, it is just the conditioning of our mind that has been set to such standards where we feel like watching pron is almost next crime and one caught doing so will be ashamed. The thing that needs to change is the mentality of people not the payment methods.

On porn sites credit card is already accepted. so bitcoin won't have any edge there since fiat is already supporting the porn industry.

But, porn comes with an anonymity issue as most of the porn viewers usually wish to remain anonymous and with credit card payments most of the people feel hesitant because they feel like they are not anonymous anymore.

its was like a gambling site too that accepts cryptos  .

 people also think crypto is bad because of it , same thing happen to when a porn site accept crypto but the question is that other payment methods are also being accepted on this service too before when crypto are not yet invented but did the public complain about it  ?  they are only making excuses to say bad stuffs to crypto  .

 crypto is a payment method so its normal for it to be accepted on anything  .

I don’t think so because following that line of thinking then fiat would also be viewed negatively also. We should start to think of Bitcoin as a mode of payment like fiat and not to think of it as something detached since at its essence it is what the purpose of Bitcoin is i.e. to become a new way to transact. So I don’t think that if pron sites would start accepting Bitcoin as payment would have a negative impact on its image. It just shows how Bitcoin could give someone privacy and security.

At the same time bitcoins are not like paypal where porn sites needs permission to accept bitcoins.
I mean they can just start accepting crypto payments without any permissions no matter what anyone thinks, that's the beauty of decentralization.

I agree with you that bitcoins should not be blamed if they are being used by porn sites or even hackers as we have often seen ransomware demand payment in bitcoins. It must be understood that bitcoins is a soft target since it is decentralized and while a lot of people blame bitcoins for hacking but remember hacking was also done before BTC existed.

Porn is not a sin

Depends on a person's point of view . Obviously, porn is a sin in the eye of the religious people.

Anyway, I just a found a Japanese porn site called JavBTC. I haven't had a closer look on the website (office protocol prohibits me from opening any porn sites lol ) but they actually have a handful of crypto related ads.
Well, this is a next level porn advertising tool. I'm not just sure how to make a transaction to get a premium account. I would love to try one if the price is reasonable.

I can assure you that none of that ad is a legit one, most will be phishing link or just redirect into some other porn website or free cam site where they will ask you for credit card details to verify identity.

[Betwrong]

I don't think that there will be a negative impact on Bitcoin because it is a online currency yet not a normal currency and is not affiliated with to anyone.The only problem we will encounter is that youth that is underaged could now avail their own porn accounts.

You mean, they will be able to watch porn? C'mon! There is lots of free stuff on any subject in that field, and of all people youngsters are the best at finding it. It's only old farts who are paying for porn these days.

Bitcoin adoption by porn sites will not bring any negative effect, that's for sure. But will it bring a significant positive effect, that's a question.

[Ucy]

Not just porn, money from bribery, fornication, corruption, steal, hacking,  cheating, adultery, injustice , lying, hate, abuse, cheating, drunkenness, fear mongering, pedophilia, killing, conspiracy, etc are all bad for Bitcoin. They should all be tackled... not just tackle one, while leaving out the other. That is hypocrisy.
Hopefully, we will have a perfect decentralized community/communities that detect all those sins and automatically isolate the money and the sinners. The sinners are kept somewhere safe to repent and have GOD rule over their lives...then the tainted money is destroyed, and a new one printed as replacement. Accepted?

[kentrolla]

Porn sites are the extreme usage of internet in the world and I guess pay for porn with Bitcoin is already in progress which means BTC is expanding its popularity with new thoughts, and most of them are aware that many adult websites has adopted BTC as a payment. The Blockchain technology is new and exciting interms of importance, it will probably change the future of next generation and the negative side it cannot reveal that as porn is always a pleasure

[germanking3]

The use of cryptocurrencies on porn sites is beneficial to the crypto world because its market is large, it has many users that would be potential users of cryptocurrencies.

[garyrowe]

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?

Just as you have pointed out in your post, Pornographic sites are one of the most visited website on the internet today. Visitors of porn sites cuts accros age, religion, race and believs. If these sites decides to accept Bitcoin as a means of payment, it will no doubt bring about better exposure of Bitcoin to more persons across the world as in my own opinion will be a preferred means of payment due to its ability to keep the privacy of its users intact. With the above being said, I only see positive vibes for Bitcoin if it becomes aeans of payment on porn sites.

[Reatim]

No it will not bring negativity,because porn users mostly are mature people so they are one good target to use Bitcoin and sooner may learn about the cryptocurrency as well and also if this happens?then surely we will have another investors inside crypto.

and also Porn sites is one of the in demand internet sites now that accepting many forms of payment so why not add Bitcoin or other high ranking cryptos also?

for me i would rather use Bitcoin and will also tell some friends that uses porn sites to have option like this,trust me this is advantageous for all of us crypto users.

I'm afraid, this cannot be accepted because Bitcoin is money, and money can be used by anyone, sinner or not. Of course, there is always an option of creating money for "good people" which can be used only on "good sites" for buying healthy food, spiritual books and stuff like that, and surely this money could be used by some people, but not by many. Like it or not, most of us are not saints, and, also, no one can be made good under coercion.

It will definitely not bring any negativity because you are just advertising something, but funny to say that making a bitcoin advertisement in pornsites could not be a success because some people would just ignore it and will just continue on what they are watching in that pornsite. It could only be a success if some pornsites will use bitcoin or other cryptocurrency as payment method when some users will go premium.

It's happening already, read from the link below:

As for the ads that can be ignored, I disagree with you. People may rarely click on those ads, but they definitely see them. Sometimes they may not even be aware of seeing it with peripheral vision, but it sticks in their brain nevertheless, to be associated with something pleasant later on.

[Arkann]

I believe that I will not say anything new, but I wanted to draw the attention of users to the fact that when the Internet appeared in the world and there was an opportunity for users to watch online or download porn from an Internet resource, then it was possible to advertise any thing on the same  porn sites.  Thus, porno was one of the most important factors that attracted users to view any advertisement.  Thus, I believe that using cryptocurrency for the porn industry and for porno Internet resources will make cryptocurrency a very profitable and popular way to pay, as it leaves the user anonymous.

Integrating bitcoin on porn sites through ads is not the only option. Porn platforms can also accept bitcoin as payment options, that's enough for adapting the use of cryptocurrency on these most visited platforms on the web.

Tho, ads might give a lot of profit too since people are always getting curious about what they saw on the internet.

[royalfestus]

Porn still hold around 8% of viewers among the world adult population, which is an indication of size of the market. Same population view porn at average of 12hour/week especially online. Though the fund made in the industry is not always available but it is presumed to be in tens of billion even in the pas year. A share of that fund will be huge in cryptocurrency if adopted, the negative effect of bitcoin will be overlooked since the use case had gone more than porn, also porn industry shows a level of discreet with fund.

Keep that in mind that bitcoin does not make you anonymous. Bitcoin is more like pseudonymous. Google the term and you will understand what I am talking about. A person can still find out who made the transaction if somehow the wallet address can be linked to some information about the user. It is also not that hard to find out to whom the bitcoin was sent to.
I don't see anything wrong with porn sites starting to accept bitcoin. Though I doubt it is going to have a huge impact on the world of crypto currency.
