Crypto will save the world from paypal

There is not much demand or interest for the sex workers. Why would they need it? They do it for money, (money usually needed immediately) not for something that they need to then exchange it back to local currencies
I don't quite agree with this part
Actually, Bitcoin may well turn out to be the currency of choice in the porn industry, just like Dogecoin is for gambling (if PayPal and its likes such as Visa etc do everything right). How come? The cam girls are typically from Eastern Europe and third world countries (apart from porn stars like already mentioned Shyla Jennings who quite literally don't give a fuck anymore), while their viewers mostly come from America and the rest of Europe (maybe, Japan too). This basically means that the girls are paid in dollars and euros, and they still have to convert the payment received into their local currencies. So how much is Bitcoin different in this department?
Is there an exchange where you can covert bitcoin directly into eastern european currencies (zloty, korunas and so on)? If so, then using bitcoin would be easy for them. If they have to convert bitcoin into euros and then from euros to their own currencies, they'll be paying fees twice over compared to now.

I think a crypto exchange could utilize its connections to make a better tamper-proof solution for payments. With the minimum friction possible, somebody could receive crypto payments and send them to his bank account. Then service providers like PHb could utilize this to send crypto payments, avoid the risk of being shut down, and also continue providing their service uninterrupted. Uphold tries to do this but to be honest I don't really like how they're lying about their fees, hiding them in exchange rates.

Pornhub’s problems, despite the Verge deal, nonetheless put the lack of overall knowledge of cryptocurrency in the spotlight.
“Crypto, personal portal... LOL. I don’t understand what that even is. I’m cool with just direct deposit into my bank account,” Shyla Jennings, a prominent model on the site, responded to the news on Twitter.
Jennings added she did not use PayPal herself, as the service had had her “blacklisted for years.”
It's likely just due to ignorance and how easy it is to get direct deposited. If your a model, or anyone for the matter of fact, and you don't care a lot about privacy, and just want to get paid fast, what's the easiest way?“Crypto, personal portal... LOL. I don’t understand what that even is. I’m cool with just direct deposit into my bank account,” Shyla Jennings, a prominent model on the site, responded to the news on Twitter.

Just pick fiat. Direct depositing into your bank means you can instantly spend it, and you don't need to jump around hoops to manage your crypto wallet, and then sell it to be able to spend it, so there's really no need for that
There are viable workarounds and practical alternatives
For example, you can order a Bitcoin payment card, and then you will be able to do everything you habitually do with your regular fiat payments without dancing around all that presumably arcane stuff like setting up a "personal portal" and what not. For fuck’s sake (pun intended), this is what Pornhub may already have it in their package for its "models". And as I said before, PayPal does everything right, so more power to them. It will only spur up the development of easier ways to deal with crypto. Porn industry is way bigger and penetrating (another pun intended) than online gambling, and it could be a real game-changer for crypto

This is really a great idea and fortunate for businesses to partner with Pornhub.
Pornhub really has a very high demand for money transfers and pays monthly valuable video contributors and it will definitely bring a great deal of profit to that business.
Hope that will be XRP.
I have not used pornhub as there are other tube sites which better interface as i do not like their dark interface nor availed any service and since they accept models to perform they will be paying them through traditional methods and even if they start using crypto to payout you need to start teaching them the process but why you think they will be using XRP Pornhub really has a very high demand for money transfers and pays monthly valuable video contributors and it will definitely bring a great deal of profit to that business.
Hope that will be XRP.
. Low fees low value centralized current and is that the reason 
. The safest is always bitcoin and there are much better wallets to store or exchange your coins but that is not the case with XRP 
and when you talk about low fees dogecoin is much better than XRP. November 17, 2019, 03:52:22 AM

How is that?
Are you deeply invested in this coin or something? I'm seriously asking as Ripple (the legal entity behind XRP) is essentially not much different from PayPal (they are in bed with bankers and don't hide it). Switching to using XRP could eventually turn out as disastrous as it now happened with PayPal. There's no knowing if their top-brass don't quite like porn in general or Pornhub specifically. They must go with truly decentralized, censorship-resistant coins, and that is Bitcoin, end of story

The hard work of porn stars should be generously paid. After all, their work is so useful to society and so difficult. 
I think PornHub will make the option to pay for its content in Bitcoin, Ethereum and other most popular cryptocurrencies, so that this payment method can be used by as many cryptocurrency users as possible.

Use stablecoin such as Tether. It provides a stable value in relation to fiat currencies. Privacy is not so important since they are using Paypal beforehand, so tbh any crypto will do as cryptocurrencies would provides some sort of privacy, at least better than Paypal.

Why would that affect muslim Bitcoin users in any way? BTC is decentralized, and it is up to everyone to use BTC for whatever they want, whether it's pork, alcohol or porn. After all, BTC is already used for all those things i mentioned and i don't see muslims dropping BTC because of that.
Well.. fiat currency is also being used for all these purposes and I haven't heard anyone banning the Muslims from using fiat currency or issuing a fatwa restricting its usage. First we need to understand that both fiat cash and Bitcoin are currencies. On the other hand, PayPal is a payment processor that makes use of these currencies. PayPal is a service provider and therefore it can deny its services to certain groups. That is not possible with Bitcoin. BTC can't ban anyone from using it.

Pornhub has started developing payments using Bitcoin and Altcoin and it is a very good development because it can make payments easier and safer because transactions can be anonymous, if more people use bitcoin then it will be able to have a good impact on the price of bitcoin will rose to be very expensive due to the influence of high demand.
infact pornhub itself is late because many nsfw sites on the past were now the first to support cryptos as one of thier payment gateway and so far its been a succes because crypto is still booming and as of today , many platforms including the nsfw one's are still adding and developing the crypto use but this cant guarantee an easy or safe payment method because anything online has a risk , its only up to the handling and to preference of user if what payment medium he thinks he is more comfortable .

I was under the impression porn has always been against Paypal's terms but they hadn't enforced it in this case. Now they have.
Though crypto makes more sense, there's a possibility they'll be rebuffed by our very own quasi Paypals like Coinbase and Bitpay and pretty much any other crypto service that interacts with banks. American banking seems to like making pious calls and they'll be right in the firing line if they make themselves known.
Perhaps Pornhub will need to come up with some type of info sheet to make sure people can cash out without any trouble should they want to.

If I'm not mistaken, this type of porn site has millions of users around the world. Pornhub is very popular, especially in America.
Paypal's withdraw support can be seen as an advantage. Pornhub should evaluate cryptocurrencies. Especially privacy coins would be an excellent step for this. Zcoin and Monero are quite suitable cryptocurrencies for this.
I hope Pornhub will set an example for other competitors, and they will all begin to accept cryptocurrencies.

Looks like they are not "exploring". The cryptocurrency payment option is already there
This goes show how more and more service providers are getting to realize that crypto is the easy way out. Also, if i were to be a customer for such websites and looking to get premium subscriptions, i would rather use crytpocurreincies than link such websites to my bank account

I think this is quite a bit of an old news , pornhub and these sites are supporting the use of cryptocurrencies since forever , everyone already knows how legal it is therefore they have an option now , the government won't always raise red flags so as when they start out doing a business which involves things like these , I think more or so it is both good and a bad news , the usage of these sites is a controversial thing so I don't think anyone could narrate anything regarding that .
You are right. Though i am no longer a user of porn sites, I sometime back saw another famous website xhamster having support for payment in cryptocurrencies through coingate. November 16, 2019, 04:07:28 PM

Yesterday I had read that TRX seemed will be an alternative payment at pornhub, whether it was true or not, but if it did happen it would seem to be something good. imagine payment with TRX, fast transactions and low fees haha.
Like what i see on twitter when Justin talk about TRX can be payment for premium membership in Pornhub. I think that rumour will really happen especially if justin who said it by himself. I think more adoption no matter in what business, will be good for the coin itself. Although i don't know how much people who will pay with crypto, or maybe crypto users who like to be premium member in Pornhub. they already picked Verge but it won't hurt to have move crypto accepted on pornhub. its best if they just have the atomic swapping there for payment. some people who only have btc would seem to find it difficult instead. btc is the common coin we have, if they mean adoption they should accept most of the widely used coins. atomic swapping will help them more i don't know if it needs license for having it on their website though.

Is it interesting how in this world where feminism and raging against "the patriarchy" is often encouraged. None of that rage is ever directed at payment processors like paypal who engage in what might be described as sexist and oppressive practices against women?
That is a fun take on things, if the payment processors are not accepting or supporting porn then they are against women rights 
The term sexist is thrown around a lot and if the porn industry is facing those kind of restrictions from payment processors then they can start accepting BTCitcoin and more over i am not comfortable purchasing any service with any of these processors and i would rather use BTCitcoin. But who will be paying for porn in this day and age .Jump to:
