What feels better than watching Bitcoin skyrocket on bullish mass adoption news? For hodlers, there aren't too many events in life more satisfying than a trip to the moon... and now the rest of the world seems to be catching on.
Reddit enjoys a massive audience of 440 million users and has been a popular destination for Bitcoin enthusiasts since very early days.
While the Bitcoin audience has swollen dramatically since 2017, Sex has been been somewhat tepid for years.
Since Reddit user farmingOnYieldApp made this observation last night, the number of Bitcoin subscribers has increased to 1,707,689, perhaps propelled by the PayPal announcement, while the number of Redditors talking about sex has not changed much at all, and stands at just over 1.69 million.
Bitcoin is also more popular than the Beatles, who had a terrific '69 of their own - that was the year they released "Come Together" and "I Want You." Sadly, the Liverpudlian pop phenoms only have 118,258 subscribers.
The Jesus subreddit is fairly deserted, but if we extrapolate from the Christianity subreddit Bitcoin may even be more popular than Jesus among Redditors.
Speaking of Bitcoin Jesus, the subreddit that supports the Bitcoin Cash community has only 328,882 followers.
Despite its growing popularity, Bitcoin has a long ways to go before it becomes "Mildly Interesting" - this Reddit sub has a remarkable 18.2 million subscribers.
Gaming and Sports also make Bitcoin look small and insignificant.
There is a happy ending for those who can't make up their mind between Bitcoin and Sex - Pornhub accepts Bitcoin for its premium services.
