Pornhub, which recently made payments available with the cryptocurrency Verge (XVG), will now soon be accepting Tron’s TRX as well as Zcash (ZEC) as payment for all their services. “Decentralized payment systems have continued to grow in popularity, and cryptocurrency adoption is exploding across a broad economic spectrum,” Pornhub VP Corey Price said in a statement that went on to add:
“Today, cryptocurrencies are especially viable in the adult entertainment industry because they are privacy-centric and incorporate more anonymity tools than traditional tender.”
Meanwhile, Tron founder Justin Sun has also bought the peer to peer sharing platform BitTorrent for an unconfirmed $118 million in cash, not crypto, according to the entertainment trade site Variety. BitTorrent was launched in 20o4 and has had a legacy of legal problems due to copyright infringement with a number of countries shutting down their sites and trackers.
With a reported 170 million users, including on its sub-client BitTorrent now, the torrent platform has been looking for a buyer for a number of years after failed negotiations with several other interested parties including TiVo.
