Topic: Why hasn't the porn industry jumped on bitcoin yet? (Read 2754 times)

If it hasn't been said yet, who pays for porn? These people who use bitcoins are generally tech savvy and realize that not only porn is free, but paid porn can be torrented.

So almost nobody with bitcoins would buy porn. The porn industry is failing.

People pay for porn, and alot. Its just that the porn industry is such an old industry so inovation is really slow, even HD porn took quite a while in most niches even tho generally HD porn was the first HD content.



Of course some people still pay for porn, but overall the industry is imperiled as revenue continues to decline mainly due to piracy.  The Bitcoin community is a much more advanced community that for the most part believes in free markets and heavily utilizes digital transmissions, therefore will be less apt to "buy" porn when we all know we can get it all for free.  

Lastly, the porn industry has always been the most innovative from the DVD to the Internet.  They are struggling as is the traditional film industry with the digital age, downloads and easy piracy.

Because everyone knows you can get porn for free.  There is no need to waste our valuable bitcoins on porn.  Simply Google search the scene, actress or movie you want and there it is.  Gambling and Drugs on the other hand, now they are jumping all over bitcoin...see www.betcoinsports.com, www.bitbook.biz and the silk road on the tor network.

www.wehasporn.com Takes Bitcoin donations (free porn site) and has for awhile now. Although it doesn't look like people are donating

When bitcoin is easier to use than the pirate bay, porn may find people willing to pay in BTC.

You can use SexCoin. I am not sure if PornCoin exists or not.

Hi, just one more newbie emerging from the water! Wink

The question on the subject is a honest one.
Usually they are early adopters of all kids of technology (even 3d for g*d's sake).
I believe bitcoin, for them, would increase revenues (due to "anonymity") and decrease costs (with payments).
Also it would greatly increase the bitcoin economy! Wink


Anyway, just my 0.2(BTC)

Don't try to look tough Dollface
We just added Bitcoin to our two new Asian shemale sites:

http://ladyboyinc.com/bitcoin/
http://femboyjoy.com/bitcoin/

I know a handful of other sites owners in the industry are in the process of setting Bitcoin up now. The industry has been slow to catch on as it is not so easy to understand out of the gate, but that is changing now.


Hahahaha

Wait? Two sites? What kind of mamma's boy needs a little boy with boobs? That's some messed up $%*!

Stripping for btc is taking off.. literally Wink

I hadn't thought of this. That's an excellent idea, and would solidify bitcoins place in the world economy.

www.reddit.com/r/girlsgonebitcoin and stripcoin.com are both websites that girls sign up for bitcoin donations for boobies. I have to say that if I had the working parts I'd probably flash a little skin for some big investments; but alas imaboy.

you have protection against shady merchants by initiating chargebacks.

The opposite is true also. As a former affiliate I experienced things like 3 month chargebacks (and even heard of 5 month charged back)  or that customers charging back immediately after they got refunded. As far as I know the CC companies allow only a 1.5% chargeback rate or hefty fines apply. Not to mention that the CC system is insecure by design and it is the merchant who has to take the risk.

I hear you. I've got one company that I own that's been accepting credit cards since 1997, and for virtual stuff rather than physical stuff, so there is no protection against chargebacks like you have with point-of-sale purchases or sign-on-delivery. I almost got blacklisted in 2001 after our gateway screwed up and submitted 16 transactions for every one it was supposed to. Nothing makes me angrier than getting a chargeback 6 months later (6 months is generally the limit) when I am positive the person doing the chargeback authorized the transactions and just wants a refund. It sucks, and we're just out the money when that happens. That's just part of the cost of doing business, along with fraud prevention generally.

But here's the thing: Of course it's the merchant that takes the risk. The merchant needs the money of those customers a lot more than the customers needs that merchant. I run an online games business, for instance, and if I don't make it easy and safe for a customer to spend money, many of them won't. There are plenty of other online games for them to go play. They don't need me as much as I need them. There's almost no business in the world that isn't in that position barring true monopolies or in certain edge cases like so-called 'food deserts' where there's only a single small food store serving a poor area.
