A currency made for porn

Pornhub is a year older than Bitcoin, having been founded in 2007 in Montreal, Canada. Cryptocurrency and porn have always been mixed in the subconscious of society. This relationship goes back to the pre-Bitcoin days, as many crypto enthusiasts believed that porn would be an early adopter of non-government digital currencies. Satoshi Nakamoto himself expressed similar views in 2010:

"Bitcoin would be convenient for people who don't have a credit card or don't want to use the cards they do have, either because their spouse doesn't see it on the bill, or they don't trust giving their number to "pornos," or they're afraid of recurring billing."
