Time to use cryptocurrency to pay for porn cam

Why use cryptocurrency for porn?

Not trusting porn sites in general

I understand many people do not trust porn sites in general. You are pulled to the “dark side” by the hot cam models but you would really rather minimize the exposure of any of your personal data to the porn sites, and credit card details are one of the data you want to keep away from them.

Recurring charges

Dishonest cam sites charging you every month without your consent won’t last very long because most people will complain to credit card companies like Visa or Mastercard and their merchant account won’t last for long. Let alone the bad reviews on forums and social media will quickly kill their business. It is more likely to be:

a) You tried to buy tokens in a hurry and did not read the screen carefully and have agreed to some recurring monthly subscription membership or a free trial for one month, and the subscription fee starts next month.

b) Your credit card details were stolen and were used by someone else to buy tokens on the cam sites. This happened to me too, but not buying cam credits. A few years ago I went to France and Italy for the holidays. I used my Euro credit card to pay for everything. Two weeks after I came home, I got a 100€ charge on my credit card for a gift coupon with a chain boutique in Spain! Luckily I noticed it and successfully stopped the payment.

c) The above case may also happen if the cam site is not secure enough. Hackers are out and about everywhere to look for opportunities. Sometimes the problem is not just caused by the cam site itself. The cam site may have used a third-party company as a data centre or cloud storage to store all their business data. If the security of the cloud storage is not set up properly, hackers may have a chance to get to the data. Data security is very complicated these days and it is very easy to overlook.

Not get caught paying for porn

If you are paying for porn with a credit card and are still receiving paper credit card statements, or if you have a joint account with your partner such that she can see your online bank statements, then she may see your spending on porn. If you have trouble with that, check out my article about how to not get caught watching porn. And paying porn sites with crypto is one of the solutions. Even on your Bitcoin wallet, she can only see you send $29.99 to an address with a random string. There is nowhere to state it’s for who or which website.

Background of cryptocurrency

A cryptocurrency is a tradable and transferrable digital asset that is not issued and controlled by any central authority. That means it is not owned or maintained by any government or banks. In 2009, Bitcoin was released as open-source software that anyone can use or modify. That makes Bitcoin (aka BTC) the synonym for cryptocurrency. But nowadays, there are over a thousand cryptocurrencies in the world and new ones are created all the time. You may have heard of Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), Binance Coin (BNB), Dogecoin (DOGE), and many more.

Is cryptocurrency secure? Each crypto coin’s ownership is recorded in a computerized database using strong cryptography to make sure that the records and transactions are legitimate, whenever a new coin is created or a payment is made, it will be checked against multiple different databases. Anyone, everyone can own a copy of this database so it is easier to verify if there is an erroneous or fraud transaction because there are many more accurate records out there.

Volatile Crypto vs Stablecoins

Bitcoin didn’t use to be worth much. On 22 May 2010, Hanyecz in Florida paid 10,000 Bitcoins (about USD40) for 2 delivered Papa John’s pizzas. Currently, the all-time-high price of one Bitcoin is USD68,789 according to Yahoo Finance. The big surge in the price of Bitcoin has attracted many investors and turned it into a speculation tool. This has further increased the volatility of Bitcoin.

People who like the idea of decentralized currency but do not like the volatility may turn to Tether.

Tether (USDT) is a cryptocurrency that is backed by an equivalent amount of U.S. dollars. Tether tokens developed by the crypto exchange BitFinex pegged the price of USDT to one U.S. dollar making it a “Stablecoin”. Other fiat currencies like Euro or Yen are tracked and held in a bank too but USDT is the most widely used one, especially if you want to keep your money in the crypto market but not in Bitcoin or any other Altcoins.

At the moment, there are 3 different USDT chains. When you are asked to make a payment with USDT, you need to know which chain the recipient accepts. The 3 USDT chains are:

1. Tether USDT Omni
2. Tether USDT ERC20
3. Tether USDT TRC20

For example, Chaturbate takes USDT Omni and USDT ERC20 only. There is no good if you hold USDT TRC20.

How to buy Tether, Bitcoin, or other crypto coins to buy cam tokens?

1. If anonymity is the highest priority, then you can look for a Bitcoin ATM and buy Bitcoin with cash. This will not result in a good rate for buying but it’s not traceable. You just need cash and a crypto wallet that can display your receiving Bitcoin address as a QR code easily.
   
2. Cryptocurrency Exchange is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to buy crypto. They allow you to buy using a credit card or bank transfer. Famous exchanges include Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, etc.
   
3. As the banks are getting panicky about crypto-related scams, many banks have refused or restricted bank transfers to crypto exchanges, a peer-to-peer marketplace is a way to overcome this. There are both websites and exchanges that have a p2p section to let individual users trade. One can actively place an ad or offer and wait for a taker, or be the taker, browse the offers, and take one that you like. Examples include:
   
   • Binance’s P2P section
   • Bisq
   • HodlHodl
   • Paxful
   • BitQuick
   • LocalCoinSwap
   • Mycelium Local Trader
   • CryptoLocally and many more.
     
     The website or exchange typically will provide itself as the Escrow. The seller will deposit the crypto into the system first which is held and reserved by the site. When the seller has confirmed that the buyer has paid via bank transfer, SEPA instant, or any other payment method, then the system will release the crypto to the buyer.
     
4. You may also apply for a Bitcoin debit card. Basically, you pay via Visa and they convert it to Bitcoin to pay the vendor, be the vendor a coffee shop in El Salvador or a cam site.
   

Conclusion

The use of crypto, particularly stablecoins can provide a more secure and private payment method for those who are concerned about their personal information with porn sites. Especially if you buy the crypto at a lower price, then you can spend a lot less when your choice of crypto has doubled or quadrupled.
