INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Yesterday brought some interesting news in the cryptocurrency space
In a move that is at once sleazy and ridiculous, PornHub and its tech arm MindGeek announced a partnership with the creators of VergeCoin
(XVG), an anonymized cryptocurrency in the vein of Monero that is currently trading at 7 cents, down from an all-time high of about 26 cents

bad for crypto perception.While I agree that crypto needs a shot in the arm and a sense of mission, I doubt making it easier to see naked
Until then, however, stunts like this do little to help.
