People shouldn't mind when you have those vending machines. I do however think that they should accept requests from strip clubs. There is nothing wrong with that, is there?

Vending machines are OK.... but a full scale adoption might have been better.

Talking about strip clubs, yes they are legal. But they sort of operate within the grey sector as far as the legality is concerned.

I doubt this will happen, bitcoin has been around for a while now and interest just seems to be very low.

It's the chargebacks.

Processing payments for the adult entertainment industry is a specialised sector when we're talking mainstream payment methods, because of the extreme amount of chargebacks involved.

That is, if you run a porn site or strip club you can't just integrate PayPal or Stripe or Worldpay or whatever. They won't touch you. You need to go to specialist payment providers. Similar (but not as bad) for other sectors like gambling.

So I am not surprised that Bitpay takes that stance.

In any case there is so much money in adult entertainment that I don't see why they would find it difficult to hire a consultant to set their payment system up to directly use Bitcoin and cash out to fiat by itself if necessary.

I don't know whether Bitpay or Coinbase will accept requests from strip clubs. In Colorado, they have already decided against cooperating with the stores which are selling legalized recreational Marijuana.

Time is on our side, yes it is!

Well I wouldn't rule it out but not sure if that is gonna happen as soon as you suspect Phinnaeus Gage. I guess we'll just have to wait and see but I think there is potential for this down the line for sure.

Yes but in Colorado there is a Marijuana vending machine which accepts Bitcoins.....

Widespread, reasonably mainstream adoption has to start somewhere. The shady world of strip joints looks like as good a place as any for Bitcoin.

Lips sealed

And no chargebacks either.

Quote

Younan, 41, a bachelor, is alleged to have visited Scores four times over a 10-day period in November, providing an American Express corporate card in advance, as is the club's requirement, said Stephen Hyman, a Scores spokesman. He then enjoyed the club's a la carte menu, ordering alcohol, private rooms and private dancers, Hyman said.

According to the lawsuit described in the New York papers, Younan contests the charges, alleging he was drugged or otherwise impaired and therefore could not authorize the charges for Nov. 17, 23, 26 and 28, according to court papers.

Shaddy K. Younan, M.D.
