Not so far from getting BTC globally accepted! Pornhub now accepts BTC & LTC. ;)

[bonjouros]

I am surprise that LTC were able to be part of pornhub payments, I am not surprise for BTC as I am expecting it already but with regards to LTC. I thought EOS or Eth will be the 2nd crypto currencies that they will accept but my
expectation didn't hit correctly.

I congrats LTC as it is another step for their currency to surge not only in rank but also to their price especially if this kind of happenings will continue to side with them. And for pornhub, crypto lovers realy love your decision this time.

btc and eth are like tandem but eos can come 3rd or lower than that  because eos popularity or its support is not wider as this 2 coin or on other top coins that came first before eos .

 im not surprised that ltc is what they chose instead of eth and others because i already saw ltc before ln other major platforms .  well ltc is known for its speed  , thats why .

Pornhub has accepted cryptocurrency before, and they accept bitcoin and litecoin over other coins. It seems that Litecoin is a potential currency in their eyes compared to other cryptocurrencies. The site will likely accept most currencies in the future.

[samputin]

Not a fan or even a subscriber of that website so I can't relate much. But as long as it involves crypto and is a way towards adoption, then it's good. At least more people would know about it and use it for their transactions.

  in my country itself porn are taboo hahah and banned all of internet service provider so i don't know how to comment this but i hope gaming industry join the vibes.  

Looking forward to that as well. When that happens, I can relate better 'cause I also have a slight gamer side in me. 

[alani123]

Pornhub is still a bit fringe in terms of what services are provided there. I think it's still an important milestone but to be honest nowhere near as an indicator that this would lead to global acceptance.
PH had been experimenting with crypto already with Verge a few years ago. So it's not something entirely new anyway. But cool to see that porn is embracing bitcoin at least. The two fit well together imo.

[TheCaliReign]

You'd expect controversial "services" like porn sites would be the first to adopt bitcoin due to people probably not wanting to pay through their credit cards. But noo they decided to add that shitcoin Verge(XVG) first. But whatever, better late than never.

Bitcoin didn't offer them the ability to take part in a pump and dump...so there's that.

And porn's reluctance to move to crypto has more to do with rebilling than anything else. The bread and butter of the industry is banging credit cards month after month, something bitcoin doesn't do very well.

The real innovation in bitcoin adoption in porn is at ManyVids.com where the boutique porn revolution is underway. Oh...and OnlyFans

I'll look at it as a company that accepts bitcoin.

As you should. How else should anyone look at it?

Others might be misled again that bitcoin is just used for porn websites. Just like in the past when it's already accepted in the mainstream.

Yet, the media keeps on highlighting on their articles that bitcoin is just used for illegal transactions.

Only simpletons follow what the media say, everybody should know by now that one news outlet is not enough to confirm news. This is a step in making bitcoin mainstream, porn industry wants to be a part of this milestone and I have no qualms with that.

We do listen to the media but it's each individuals take to understand if the news is verified or just fake.

That's why I'll look at this adoption as what we have understood it and not what the media will say.

[Latviand]

Porn industry accepting bitcoin and litecoin isn't gonna skyrocket the market of bitcoin. The industry is wide and has a net value that isn't believable. How this billion dollar market make changes to the bitcoin market need to be understood.

Global acceptance of bitcoin have increased, but this doesn't mean the net value of transactions and revenue is out of the bitcoin usage. This way porn industry has added more power to bitcoin, and that doesn't mean it pushes forward the market.

Some other countries prohibits the access of porn industry in a social media platform or websites just like in Middle East.

So this adoption is useless for them because the government authorities punishes those people who tried to access it.

Global acceptance will surely occur soon, but not that fast because there are still some governments who have a bad mindset towards bitcoin. This porn industry adoption of bitcoin is not also good because there are people who will look at it as a bad influence or bad platform to use with this cryptocurrency.

[Kakmakr]

The target market for Crypto currency payments for porn, is the customer that does not want to leave evidence on centralized databases of his or her porn habits. So if you are into weird porn and you have some reason to hide it, then you can create a anonymous account and use pseudo anonymous crypto currencies to pay for it.

The threat is still the centralized database stored on these sites. If they can link your identity to your account... then crypto currencies will not hide your true identity.

Also, the more people spending crypto currencies on sites like this, will push down the price ...if this is coming from coins that was hoarded. If it comes from new adoption, then the demand should rise and the price with it. 

[blckhawk]

Well, that was good news for porn lovers I would say especially on those people who don't want to reveal their identity or such. With the help of Crypto transactions will all be private and that is a good thing perfect thing in this kind of industry.

Personally, I am no fan of these things, I do have a glimpse of it not gonna lie but it didn't really suit my style though. Anyway, I think this is the start of mass adoption bitcoin and other crypto is now being accepted in various industry and I kinda like them actually. Imagine if all stores whether online or not accept Bitcoin as payments that would be pretty convenient especially for us crypto users.

Adoption still an adoption and it cannot be useless if there are millions of users around the globe are seeing it,although it cannot be seen on other countries but I'm sure it gain popularity to the geeks. As well we have a VPN around so people belong in banned countries can still access pornhub by using it so by that we cannot call it an useless adoption pornhub is huge.

[LogitechMouse]

I see this article already in my phone but didn't have the time to read the whole of it.
Well, a good thing for the crypto users right now that they are accepting Bitcoin and Litecoin.

I still remember when Pornhub accepts XVG coin and at that time, the price is pumping heavily and got FOMO'ed of it and because of the FOMO I lost half of my total trading capital. Fuck Verge shitcoin and fuck Pornhub. There are many coins to accept why XVG at that time .

Ohh well that was 2 years ago and I already moved on with it . Just happy that they accepted both BTC and LTC. Wonder why they didn't try to accept ETH.

My expectation was also like BTC would obviously be the No 1 spot and second was by default for me it would have being ETH. But considering the LTC is very big surprise for me and I think one of the reasons could be that ETH currently the fees is very high, and this could prevent users to use their site as many would have avoided. So, they went with LTC and some push can now happen with LTC as I know there are many users on this forum as well who uses the site.

Many people that visit an adult website want to be anonymous, they do not even want people to see the trace. Not even the banks that produce the cards they used in purchasing premium content so I believe this should have been accepted by the adult website for a long time ago. Pornhub is one of the largest adult content sites in the world, so this is good news, it will propel other similar sites to accepting crypto as part of the payment processor.

[BitcoinFX]

Bitcoin would be convenient for people who don't have a credit card or don't want to use the cards they have, either don't want the spouse to see it on the bill or don't trust giving their number to "porn guys", or afraid of recurring billing.

Sensei Nakamoto says "what took them so long!"  

...

Do people really pay for porn?  

[goldade]

The adult film industry is worth billions of dollars and as such is a big market. This is especially good for this site's users as they don't have to use credit or debit cards for payment which is not very good for anonymity. Now they can pay without fear of having their details on the site.
This is also another way to boost the adoption and ultimately the price of bitcoin and crypto in general. It is known that the more the adoption, the more the demand which invariably increases the price.

[bearexin]

The direction that Bitcoin is heading to is not really how I wanted it. What I really hoped for was big companies like Amazon accepting Bitcoin and not all these dark webs and porn sites lol. Just imagine that people who are not into Bitcoin especially those that are against cryptocurrency get to see it, they will then start describing Bitcoin as a currency that’s being used in the dark web and porn sites, and that will taint the whole thing.

For me, this is not really the kind of news I celebrate, I wish for something better than this. If that the world has fully accepted Bitcoin before all these things, then it would be better. They are already saying that Bitcoin is a currency that’s used on the dark web, they will soon add this one.

[Twentyonepaylots]

You'd expect controversial "services" like porn sites would be the first to adopt bitcoin due to people probably not wanting to pay through their credit cards.

Controversial service? I don't find porn sites giving controversial services, it's kinda normal to me in fact they are getting billions each year. They only accepted crypto payments last year I guess, I'm not sure if it is last year, because there were some conflicts with paypal, and paypal stopped their operation with pornhub.

But noo they decided to add that shitcoin Verge(XVG) first. But whatever, better late than never.

There is a lot better crypto than bitcoin, I also questioned why they selected Verge and I got 2 answers on my mind.

1. With less popular coin the transfer will be instant as there is no traffic on the network, and less fees of course.
2. Verge offers anonymity, they got a public ledger and also private so transaction on sites like this can be hidden.

Wd just have to admit that Bitcoin will be very hard to distinguish with those bigger company's since it is~

1. Decentralized
2. Too volatile

Hence, it is risky for them to support it but don't worry. Bitcoin is bigger than that, we just need more time until people could actually appreciate Bitcoin. As long as we are here supporting Bitcoin, we will gonna see those what we're expecting to happen in the future.

this is because most companies still think BTC and cryptocurrency still is an experiment.they will realize soon when funds they have are frozen and whenever liquidity crisis strikes and this is when they take crypto seriously.  the darkweb and porn industry is actually a big business which is a billion dollar industry, if all adult services accepts BTC its going to drive the price up.  its a gradual transformation as we know it.
