It would be better if Pornhub made their crypto. Seeing Pornhub is a popular adult site and very many visitors there. I am sure there will be a lot of support from investors if they make their crypto
Not a very bright idea
It is not what I think, creating their own coin with millions of subscriber in front of them are hell great. There would be less problem if they are going to create a stable coin and backed by real money, property and tangible assets like gold.
They have a very serious issue with PayPal refusing payments to their performers (sex-workers, in plain terms), and their actions are directed toward resolving this issue by any means available.
There are history of paypal making an excuses to work with adult industry, It wasn't surprising at all. You can actually search what the pornhub director, Erika Lust, said in an email after this issue rises.
How is it supposed to help Pornhub exactly? Are they going to pay their models with it if the latter need cash for their livelihood? As far as crypto is concerned, they better stick with a time-tested option, and that is Bitcoin beyond any doubt and any second thought
Definitely, they would pay their performers in form cryptocurrency while having this issue with payment processors, thus they have a lot of option to use, there are tons of crypto in the market right now not just bitcoin. I know they are already paying their performers in form of Verge coin.
