LTC coins has low tx fee and also the confirmation time is very small. Due to this, many merchants will prefer LTC along with bitcoins as a payment method.
By adding crypto , pornhub customers will increase a lot as many people can now join pornhub anonymously.

I am using LTC since 2017. Have to agree that the transaction fee and the time required for confirmation are low. But there are a few practical difficulties with LTC. Liquidity is low for Litecoin. In most of the exchanges, daily volumes are quite small and it will be difficult for the merchants to convert large amount of LTC to fiat at once. Second difficulty is regarding the storage. It is not easy to store LTC (or perhaps I am unaware of good online wallets for LTC).

Great move pornhub  Grin

Seriously now, this is something huge for cryptocurrency if you think that pornhub, the #1 of porn industry, started accepting them. I think that based on monthly traffic it is the most famous site that accepts bitcoin.

So, thumbs up for pornhub that spreads the cryptos.  Wink

This is good, in the future bitcoin will continue to be accepted as payment on big sites and of course they will also add other cryptocurrencies such as from altcoins namely tron, bnb, doge and others. Surely it will be done because their fees are cheaper in transaction fees

BTCBTCWondering 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?

Some people may think that this is bad news but no its not.
As long as bitcoin is moving it doesn't matter where it came from. Well, USD was also moving thanks to illegal transactions out there. Name it, drugs, weapons, child pornography. They mostly accept USD first.  Grin ("You pay with dollars?")

I like to compare this with a monthly premium of an MMORPG. You are not forced to buy the premium and you can still play but you need it to keep up with the strongest.
In Pornhub, I think premiums are for better videos. Right?
Lots of money will come in because of premium sexual urgency.  Grin

Quite funny as we are talking of porn industry but this has a serious good effect to the market.

Demands will continue for crypto as the demand continues to rise for the porn industry as well, and AFAIK, porn industry is also a billion dollar industry, so that's a big contribution to the market, and this is just one site, one of the biggest in the porn industry, so probably we are going to see more sites adding bitcoin as their payment method.

When you can watch porn for free why would anyone pay for the contents Grin, i remember the days when we used to hire videos from library but when internet became mainstream i do not think anyone would pay for porn as you get everything for free, but if people like to pay for them in these tube sites then it is their wish and it is a good alternative as these porn sites find it difficult to get a payment processor.

Now that is when you know widespread acceptance is just around the corner.It would be good of Porn Hub to have 1 use addresses that cannot be traced to them.You don't want the wife tracking that transaction

I think they will add a provider which will allow address change each time a deposit is made to that address. I don't watch porn due to my age as I'm too old now, but I take this as a positive news and this is what we all had been expecting: global acceptance of Bitcoins and altcoins. This is happening now and it looks like Satoshi's work has succeeded.

This is good news for the crypto community, because those who have a premium pornhub account have many payment options right now, with pornhub
accepted BTC and LTC. There should be a lot of members and visitors to the pornhub sites, with pornhub news now accepted BTC and LTC can make
increase in the price of the two coins. Things like this are needed for Bitcoin to be increasingly accepted globally.

Another step forward towards the adoption of Bitcoin I guess  Grin

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.


IT IS! In some parts human history, the mainstream is the segment of society who is often LATE in adopting ground-breaking technology. It was the same for the printing press, automobiles, and home-video recording. Cool

The porn industry adopting cryptocurrency is nothing new as I had read articles like this before several years ago. Maybe this is good news for some crypto users who really like and need it. I wondering why do people spend btc for porn videos, isn't that the free version is more than enough?

I think it's something good to increase the price of bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies because more and more people are using bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies have an impact on the all cryptocurrency market, and maybe they will add another virtual currency for their payment method

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Standard Protocol - Solving Inflation
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.
