The big thing that many are failing to notice is actually the mass adoption of the cryptocurrency.
You're fooling yourself if you think this will lead to "mass adoption" of Verge. Anyone who already pays for porn really has no reason to switch from fiat/cc/whatever to Verge unless they already have some. Acquiring Verge is just another hoop to jump through before you get your wank material, plus it introduces a much higher risk factor as your Verge could lose value before you pay for your subscription. Most people won't see the value in taking the time to find the best place to buy crypto (assuming their bank/cc even allows it) and figuring out how to convert it into XVG. Even less will see the appeal in mining it, seeing as most PCs aren't really built to generate the large hash rates and low energy costs necessary to accumulate a meaningful amount of Verge in a reasonable amount of time. I'd also like to think that most of the people who pay for porn are grown-ass adults who can take responsibility for themselves so there's very little reason to "anonymize" your porn subscriptions unless you're hiding it from a significant other or family member (in which case you need therapy, not cryptocurrency). It could also be argued that using Verge will make your subscription
less anonymous since it's been proven that coins can be tracked even through privacy addresses, and you're adding your transaction to a public ledger that is copied on thousands of PCs. But I digress.
Anyone who
doesn't usually pay for porn has no reason to
start paying for it because of this. Adding Verge as a payment option doesn't change the content offered. It also doesn't change the fact that almost all paid content can be found for free if you know where to look. And again, it's another hoop to jump through that a lot of people won't want to deal with. At best, Pornhub/Brazzers/etc will probably get a few new subscriptions out of the Verge bag holders who figure they might as well use some of the XVG that they'll continue to hold as the value fluctuates around 1000 sat (at the time of this writing... 927 sat for all you "never again will XVG go below 1000" idiots). I highly doubt any meaningful percentage of their existing subscriptions will switch to XVG.
