This Sex Toy Seller Wants You to Spend Your Volatile Cryptocurrency on His Products

• https://motherboard.vice.com, LOUISE MATSAKIS

Are you stressed out about the price of bitcoin and ethereum? Perhaps masturbation could help.

That's what sex toy inventor Brian Sloan thinks anyway. His company, Very Intelligent E-Commerce, which makes innovative products such as an automatic blowjob machine called the Autoblow 2, is now accepting 20 different types of cryptocurrencies—from PotCoin to GameCredits.

"It's weird because everyone accepts bitcoin only," Sloan explained to me in a phone interview. "But that's missing so many people who hold so many currencies that they would like to be able to spend."

The idea is that letting people spend their digital currency on a sex toy could help free them from the stress of an increasingly volatile cryptocurrency market. "I've followed the news of all the cryptocurrencies," Sloan said. "The reality for people is that they may or may not make a lot of money. It really is stressful I think."
