Lol! Porn industry has started experimenting with cryptocurrency quite a long time back. It's not only about the store of value but also about the privacy. I lot of people are not really comfortable in using their debit/credit card in purchasing their subscription because it will show on their statement. So it's really preferable for them to use cryptocurrency instead. I still remember, there was a platform called xotika.tv who had initiated such experiments with cryptocurrency!

Good for porn lovers!

I'll look at it as a company that accepts bitcoin.
As you should. How else should anyone look at it?

....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.
We cannot and shouldn't dictate who gets to use bitcoin as a currency. The thought of who should and should not accept because of the negative image it brings is kind of limiting bitcoin to a group of users don't you think? It wasn't created that way.

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?
The payment option is there. Just click on "Premium" -> "Get Premium" and you'll see the "Use cryptocurrency" or "Use Credit Card"


- taken from Pornhub of course. I had to crop it properly lol.

Once a man, twice a child!
I never thought that porn industry is a big market, until I read this, How Is The Porn Industry Worth Billions Of Dollars?
But of course, it is. And hugely so too. Don't you know that anything sex sells? Put a picture of a naked woman side by side a textbook and see the one that gets more clicks. To say the truth, it was even surprising to me in the past why the porn industry never thought of accepting Bitcoin in the first place but went for Verge. Well, I am yet to see how that is going to help Bitcoin's mass adoption or even the value. I am pessimistic on this. Before anyone argues this with me; what's the value of Verge?

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.

Who pays for pornhub? Aren't those just videos?? Personally i think watching porn is a huge waste of time which leads to increasing degeneracy. It really shouldn't have regular, paying customers. I don't know though if the website also serves as a pimping platform for the thousands of women there, though?? You know, whoever catches your fantasy, provided prostitution is legal in your jurisdiction. In that case, paying with BTC would be really convenient for the customer when you don't want some strange entry on your card statement.

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...

The news is about the adoption and acceptance of bitcoin, that's good news for us who wants to see companies accepting bitcoin. I've read the news about them before accepting Verge but it's a wise decision that they've started accepting bitcoin and ltc.
They accepted Verge long time ago and it is a trial crypto adoption from them. Then after all they accepted BTC and LTC that is another good move for them. The recent crypto adoption from pornhub is a good signal that cryptocurrency gradually invade deeper in human society.

Why do company not adopt cryptocurrency when it gives freedom, fast transaction, be an own bank and more things?

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.

It has actually made me wonder why Pornhub chose Verge and eventually Tether when they started to accept crypto a few years ago when crypto is basically about Bitcoin.

(come on, you, me and every guy here would have enjoyed f**king a girl with our BTC some night).

Does this have anything to do with Pornhub, too? I don't think Pornhub is offering such services. Porn industry is not the same with sex industry.

Well, it's indeed nice to know. Last time, they are only accepting Verge coin. Now they are accepting btc and ltc for their premium accounts. Those subscribers and users will enjoy watching and at the same time spending bitcoin payments in an online platform.
 We can definitely see how cryptocurrency is really growing and developing. It was adopted by different aspect of fileds like this of adulthood industry. And users always wanted the convenient factor given by cryptocurrency payments especially for those who don't have credit cards to use.

Great news for porn lovers, lol..

I never thought that porn industry is a big market, until I read this, How Is The Porn Industry Worth Billions Of Dollars?

A recent article published by business news site, Quartz, tends to agree. The article places the industry’s value at anywhere between $6 billion and $97 billion, with the more realistic estimates ranging from $6 billion to $15 billion.


This would create demand for bitcoin and LTC, probably billions as the porn industry is a billion dollar industry and it would be very convenient for people to pay using crypto to preserve their privacy, instead of credit card where they could be expose.

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.

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  Grin
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).
