Don't hate Bitcoin...
Bitcoin is real. It will drive a substantial percent of online sales eventually, including porn. The only possible thing likely to take down Bitcoin would be an even more superior successor; think mysapce and facebook.
The currency exchange rate is really not an issue - if you don't care to speculate on currency swings then simply exchange them for dollars daily.
There are some real obstacles for porn though. BC is a push currency. Although some sites like coinbase simulate subscriptions there will never be a perfect subscription model for BC.
On the other hand there is no such thing as a chargeback, and fees are zero or token.
When you think of Mt. Gox think of Bernie Maddow. We didn't get rid of the the dollars after he skimmed off a few billion. And the Royal Bank of Scotland just announced the taxpayer bailout of 46 Billion was lost forever.
Right now Bitcoin is mostly educated geeky sorts, venture capitalists, risk takers, and entrepreneurial types. In other words your typical porn buyer.
