I still dont see why it has to do something with porn. Again, i use it to pay something. Thats it. If it is porn or not, doesnt matter at all, as the payment method has nothing to do with the thing i pay for. There will be more things you can pay for with Verge in future. Another big rumor, that you will be able to use it for ingame payments is already there. As far as i can see, you can pay nothing with your onions so far, but onions merchandises. Thats not quite much i would say. By the way, i dont want to say, that onions are bad or something like that, i dont know enough about the project to say something about it. But, If a really big company would come to the developers of your coin tomorrow and they would say them, „hey, we want to accept onions as payment system in our websites. We have several websites and make earnings of several billion dollars a year.“ you really want to tell me, that your developers would say, sorry, we are not interested... If they would do that, sorry, but then they are fools...
Even when it really was the biggest deal in crypto so far, it was definitely wrong, how the verge team did the announcement. But in the end even there, it was only some unrealistic dreamers, that told names like Amazon or Paypal. In my opinion it was totally clear, that these companys are not the partners. But as mentioned, the fact that the verge team let grow these rumors, was definitely not the right way. Nevertheless, the deal they announced was the biggest in crypto ever. And i think, that, for now,  verge is the cryptocurrency with the most potential users for a real use case, even more than bitcoin.
I remeber a year or two ago, when you asked a random person on the street what bitcoin is, that a lot of these people answered, thats the thing they use in darknet to pay weapons and drugs with and to pay for terrorism. Was that true? Maybe. Did that mean, that Bitcoin has something to do with weapons, drugs and terrorism? Definitely no! And now the crypto community itself makes the same fault as people that dont know anything about cryptocurrencies at all. It is kind of ironic, don't you think?
By the way, it is the same thing with darknet itself. A lot of people think it is a place where only criminals are selling drugs and weapons. I think you know better...
