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

[milani]

So crypto is more and wider adopted by different services and sites)))) for people who likes to watch sites of such kind it is a big bonus - you do not have to use your credit or debit card, and it is easier and faster to pay for it. But it seems to me that not so many people pay for this. I think that there are lots of videos for free))) so what is the purpose to pay for it?

[Wind_FURY]

Wondering why it's just now and not two years back when they started accepting Verge.
This can represent how the adoption increases but, imo, we don't really need this kind of adoption as we know how the adult industry is made for psycho peoples who can't a normal sexual life.

Many other magazines shared this news today, and all of them have no reference but this article from cointelegraph. I have checked pornhub website and didn't find anything related.
I am not a PornHub fan so i don't have an account there, can anybody confirm that payment is really available with btc and ltc?

They probably accepted Bitcoin because the sex workers couldn't sell Verge anywhere because no one wants them. Hahaha.

Plus it's a good development for Bitcoin's path towards the mainstream. The porn industry was one of the first to utilize home-video technology, and helped bring it to the mainstream. Let's hope it also brings those horny people to buy Bitcoin to pay for virtual sex services.

The important part bitcoin price back to the moon is adoption, I think the pornhub come in the right time. At the end of the August bitcoin's price surge to touch $12000 barrier again which I think this price will be made as a support area.

Seem like bitcoin will be adopted by some companies who is not legal to be used in all countries. Like my countriy who still ban all pornographic sites and also the gambling site as well. Although we still have a chance to see them with VPN service.

Not really a fan of that site as well but I do think that a lot of people would really pay for those videos. I mean yeah, you can watch videos for free there but there are people who are really willing to spend on those videos, especially when they have enough money to pay for it. Pornhub is earning millions of revenues so it just means that they have a lot of users paying them.

That's still great that they finally added more options and accepted bitcoin though it took them some time before realizing it.

I would personally not take this as a "global acceptance" move. It may be one of the largest industries in the world, but I am really intrigued to see whether it'll be a long-lasting thing or they'll remove it after a while as other large platforms did.

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

Wondering why it's just now and not two years back when they started accepting Verge.

Verge probably paid a lot of money to do the PornHub thing. If I remember correctly, it was right when all shitcoins were on a boom - and they tried (successfully, at the time) to pump theirs even more by this "collab". Otherwise, they wouldn't have had all those vans with Verge and PH on them..

i don't know how to comment this but i hope gaming industry join the vibes. 

Steam had BTC as a payment method years ago. Microsoft did as well, until 2015 IIRC. They removed it due to the extreme volatility.

now that a lot of countries and states are in quarantine(hence a lot of people won't be seeing their significant others), I wouldn't be surprised if their revenues are higher.

They surely did have a spike (and this was only back in March).

Pornhub now accepts Bitcoin (BTC) and Litecoin (LTC) as payment for its premium services. The company has been accepting Verge since 2018, later adding several other cryptocurrencies, but this is its first foray into the major leagues. Pornhub’s vice president Corey Price said in the press release:

“As a leader in adult content with over 130 million visitors per day, Pornhub is excited to now offer two widely-used and leading digital currencies for our users. Our team continues to pave the way for tech development, testing and implementing new technology for everyday consumers far ahead of the mainstream market.”

I believe this is what we need, perfect timing for BTC to skyrocket like a huuuge ..... You know what I mean  
Anyways, jokes apart, but really, BTC has been holding its values since it was invented and I believe that's the reason why it's a successful story and has also created many many success stories for all the investors (come on, you, me and every guy here would have enjoyed f**king a girl with our BTC some night). (Ironically said that so to support the pornhub news hehe).

Porn industry is one of the silent industries raking in billions of dollars every year without making noise and the reason is because majority of people because of their religious and moral backgrounds do not want to be associated with the industry openly but secretly, they are much more invested which is the reason why the traffic to the sites is more alarming for anyone who is hearing about it for the first time or reading about the documentary on the industry. Money across the world does not discriminate because of their inclinations which is why its a good boost for the crypto industry and this should not be established as a means to avoid taxes or other legal scrutiny but rather to be prepared for the future.

As if enough Bitcoiners didn’t have carpal tunnel syndrome already.

All the digital currency coomers rejoice

After this announcement it is actually making the bitcoin price drop.

[pakhitheboss]

Another step forward towards the adoption of Bitcoin I guess 

I do not think it will, in anyways, increase the USD values of Bitcoin or Litecoin as PH does accept Fiat but it makes life simpler for crypto community just in case they want to use their Bitcoin to get entertained.

we don't know mate,there are too many crypto users that might always love to use PH as we all knew how Popular are they in terms of entertaining people now.
And why need to use fiat when you have crypto to spare for online using?

anyway i am not a fan of any porn site thats why surely never count me in using this service lol.

Clearly adoption is really on the road this is what it means,PornHub will never connect to something they don't expect to favor their site right?

I don't know if we can call them silent since we usually taking the volumes down while watching  (Just kidding),  For me I don't think they are silent industry since they already created a noise in business sector due to the profit generated on their site and I believe the government knows their revenue but I don't know on what regulation they do and good thing Btc and LTC is on the option since it could attract the users and maybe the others will follow it.

[pawanjain]

I am not really able to judge if this should be a good news for bitcoin or a bad one.
While being positive, it's good that pornhub has implemented bitcoin and litecoin payments since it will increase the rate of payments made through bitcoin.
But if we look at it from another perspective it will encourage users to use their porn services since they can easily make BTC payments while not revealing their fantary in their bank statement. In one way, it will kind of encourage users to use anonymous services for illegal stuff provided pron is banned in their country.

It isn't about price at this point, its about adoption. PH won't increase price, but being able to say that a big player in arguably the most important industry  uses Bitcoin means people will think its a good thing to look into.

[hatshepsut93]

This is not new at all, do we already forget titcoin? it was an altcoin powered by the porn industry too, and the way to get some easy coins was by sending a tits photo, in theory, they should be real ones. So, the cryptos have been on the porn side since some years ago...

No one cares about altcoins dedicated to some single use, like this titcoin that you mention, or weedcoins or whatever, they were always been shitcoins, because this idea of having a separate currency for every use case is stupid, the whole point of money is to make it exchangeable for everything.

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.

Shitcoins can offer companies a lot of $$ for partnering with them, Bitcoin gets adopted because it's actually good.

[tomahawk9]

Sensationalist title, we're still very, very far away from seeing BTC getting accepted worldwide. Just because a porn site suddely joined the bandwagon doesn't mean everyone's gonna do it :/

People actually pay PornHub for their premium service(pretty much full-length videos afaik); and now that a lot of countries and states are in quarantine(hence a lot of people won't be seeing their significant others), I wouldn't be surprised if their revenues are higher.

it's gotta be. Higher revenue equals higher traffic, and according to Pornhub's traffic insights, they saw a +20% spike in worldwide traffic in March and hasn't gone down since then, in fact, daily traffic has been a lot higher when compared to the daily charts on 2019

[Bttzed03]

Hypothetical question - So are we going to see conservative and religious people hating on bitcoin because it is accepted by pornhub now? It would be fun to see some people lose their mind because of this news 

Slightly off-topic but

there are always other motivating factors behind the scene when someone adds an altcoin first to their platform while ignoring bitcoin, specially when that altcoin is a very unknown (not used by anyone outside exchanges) and a low quality coin with nothing to offer.
eventually as time passes by and that altcoin dies or continues its death spiral and more importantly when their platform never receives any payment through that altcoin, they have to give it up. but they don't want to just go away entirely. that is when they do what they should have done at the start and add bitcoin!

[Cryptocurrency Hunter]

This event seems to be an important factor in the growth of BTC and LTC coins, as although it may seem like a place where people aren't most interested in it, PORNHUB is actually one of the most popular destinations, so BTC and LTC are likely to grow out of this business.

[Ludmilla_rose1995]

This is good news for the crypto world. Porn stars will also adopt Bitcoin or Litecoin from selling their videos. Maybe if I made a premium video on the pornhub site, I would get bitcoins from porn lovers.

[ChiBitCTy]

I saw this announcement on one of the more popular cryptocurrency websites that I can't think of the name of at this moment but my first thought was why didn't this happen a long time ago.  I have "heard from friends" that there are plenty of other pornographic/adult entertainment websites out there that have been accepting bitcoin for quite some time.  To me it was a no brainer move.  It's also a lot easier to get away with if your significant other watch your credit card statements closely.  Now we need to get strip clubs to start accepting bitcoin 

[soulripper]

Its was a good move from pornhub even tough some peoples will see this as a bad perspective but still it was a way to mass adopt on bitcoin as pornhub viewver are more then 3 billions a months.. Just imagine that what it could give to bitcoin.. Peoples around the globe will recognize bitcoin and in hope more site will use bitcoin in their payment in the future.
