To be honest, as long as no one gets harmed, i'm all for kiddie porn among other things (i've heard of a few cases where kids played with sexual stuff, both among themselves and with people of age, and they were ok; but then they got severely traumatized when misguided religious people, politicians, TV presenters etc got involved and managed to convince them that somthing they enjoyed was actually supposed to be a hideous event and they were supposed to be scarred for life etc. Not saying it is never bad, just that it isn't necessarily bad in 100% of the cases)

Anyone who has raised kids (I raised 4) knows that the kids will experiment with all kind of "sexual" things.  Shocked

The problem is when some ADULT gets involved and turns it into more than experimentation or play!

I wouldn't expect it to be so black & white; say for example, two kids that happen to have been born in the same day one year apart, one  is 17 and the other 16, they're dating, going all the way, sexting each other etc; then the older one turns 18, how can you explain the exact same things suddenly turning from happy fun to rape for a period of one year, and then just as suddenly once again become just fine?


ps: if you believe in another age limit to be considered "ADULT", just skip a few years ahead or behind in my example
Man, That's where it gets complicated. My main thing is under a certain age, when there isn't a clue on whats right or wrong,thats when its definantly f***ed up.But 16-17-18 year olds, they know what kind of risk there taking. It happens to often with those age groups, that not seeing it would make me thing the world just ended.

And Most kids aren't making porn videos. Kiddie porn shouldn't be allowed period.

Allow me to refine my statements:

I actually support drugs, prostitution, gambling, and porn as activities that should be legal - for ADULTS.

Child porn should not be legal for anybody, even children, to produce or possess.


I think the BDSM crowd have analyzed it correctly - "Safe, Sane and CONSENSUAL"  Grin

With a reasonable imagination that covers a whole lot - far more than MY limits even for a fantasy.  Shocked

The essential problem with child porn is that the activity CANNOT be consensual!

Likewise "human trafficking" for prostitution, things like the US Govt handing out cigarettes to kids in the third world (seen that first hand!)  fails the test.

Hmmm, lets see the "big three" of organized crime are: drugs, prostitution, and gambling

In the on line world I suppose we have to add child porn to that.

Somehow I don't think that ANY of those "opportunities" will encourage most of us to support BitCoin!

Basically any large site has to implement btc and things will skyrocket.

Yeah, but it is a catch-22. No big site is going to jump on Bitcoins until it is proven and more widely accepted, but it won't become a proven currency until its usage is widespread. That's where online casinos and porn sites can help.

As far as I know all the big poker sites were just recently raided and taken down by the US gov. There is actually a lot of potential here if someone can start a legitimate poker client that will only accept bit coin.

i agree, from a  long time online poker player here.

Gambling is often associated with organized crime, and rightly so - the mob built Las Vegas into what it is today, but that doesn't change the fact that people are going to gamble...and if they're doing it with bitcoins it only helps this currency take off while simultaneously driving up its value.

Prostitution isn't really an "online" commodity, but porn is. Porn made the web what it is today...believe it or not, it's the driving force behind a lot of the technologies we have. It also made optical media take off...everyone likes porn.

Even if it is these seedy things that push bitcoin into the mainstream, once it is a relevant currency known by the masses it will proliferate into other verticals like standard retail and maybe even B2B.

Hello there! As my first post, i wanna point out that a jacks-or-better poker game with btc already exists, http://ggzkvrlfneb7cqae.onion/ if you have Tor. Found it on the first page of the Hidden Wiki Tongue

there are plenty of bitcoin gambling sites

I have referral links to a few of them on my site.

others don't have referral links, so I don't have them listed.  I think they've been taken off the bitcoin wiki, but I'll post them on my site sometime.

Amen.
Why doesn't BTC just take over paypal? It's more reliable then dealing with the 60 day cancel button paypal has.

Howabout the sports books?  Big sites like intertops.  Do they take Bitcoin? 

intertops can still accept credit care, moneygram etc.. i dont understand how they are allowed to. and I have no idea how to contact the owner to pitch him the idea.
