You want a REAL real use case for Crypto? Well here it is.
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I'm not talking about some hypothetical tech mumbo jumbo that only 1% of crypto holders understand, or some new hype concept that isn't established yet. Here's what made me buy and <em>use</em> (not just invest in) Bitcoin in 2016 (or somewhere around then) when it was really niche.</p> <p>I was watching some webcam porn (please don't stop reading) and really liked the...performer, so I was looking for existing webcam recordings. They existed, but they were behind some filehoster which required a premium account to access those specific videos. Now, I was <em>really</em> thirsty back then, so I decided to buy a month-long subscription. The payment options were: Credit card (not an option since I didn't have one and didn't want my name to be associated with buying access to a filehoster known to host porn), paypal (same reasoning here, although I did already have paypal at the time) - and Bitcoin.</p> <p>So I started looking into how to get Bitcoin. It was neither intuitive nor easy, but the thirst was stronger. Eventually, I managed to create a coinbase account. I'm also 100% sure that coinbase did NOT require a KYC back then. </p> <p>And that's the whole story. Bought some Bitcoin, got my premium account anonymously and downloaded the lewds. A happy end, in more ways than one.</p> <p>Tl;dr: Porn. Always has been.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Tastypies"> /u/Tastypies </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/x6dryd/you_want_a_real_real_use_case_for_crypto_well/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/x6dryd/you_want_a_real_real_use_case_for_crypto_well/">[comments]</a></span>
