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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Cheesy

Ohh well that was 2 years ago and I already moved on with it Cheesy

. Just happy that they accepted both BTC and LTC. Wonder why they didn't try to accept ETH.

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.

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.

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.

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. Wink

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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

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.

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.

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!
