Porn Will Be Bitcoin's Killer App

Posted by timothy on Friday January 17, 2014 @09:08PM from the we-call-this-the-duh-factor dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In December, porn.com started accepting Bitcoin for its premium services, and the virtual currency quickly came to account for 10 percent of sales. At the start of January, a post on Reddit's Bitcoin subforum boosted the figure to 50 percent, before settling down to about 25 percent. The tremendous interest has led David Kay, the marketing director at porn.com's parent company Sagan, to talk very positively about the virtual currency: 'I definitely believe that porn will be Bitcoin's killer app,' he told The Guardian. 'Fast, private and confidential payments.'"

If your business focuses on morons you will never lack for customers, seems like a great plan to me.
