Two or three years ago I wrote a series called "[Adult Cryptocurrencies, Ranked & Explained](https://web.archive.org/web/20230721094357/https://uncles.cash/adult-cryptocurrencies-ranked-explained-again/)" which was an annual series about what would happen if someone made a one-time $100 investment into as many adult cryptocurrencies as they could find in 2021. Well, the last entry was published in 2022, just as things were getting interesting. But after a longer gap in between I thought it would be fun to recap and do a "where are they now" sort of post here. And just to reiterate:
>*Degen* trading is risky, fun and only adults should be doing it anyway.
For brevity I’ll copy the original format with shorter summaries since I'm doing this for ~~free~~ fun.
According to [cryptoslate](https://cryptoslate.com/cryptos/adult/), [coinmarketcap](https://coinmarketcap.com/view/adult/) and [coinlore](https://www.coinlore.com/crypto/adult/all) who specifically categorizes adult, the total marketcap for coins in the sector is valued at around $5.6M. A number much lower than I expected but, like in the original series, a closer look reveals coins not accounted for, despite being *porn-coded*. When considered, that number is as high as $62M. About half what it was over three years ago. Which means we lost money. But how come? Let's kick it off with our first mention:
**PornRocket (**[**PORNROCKET**](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pornrocket/)**)**
One of the most valuable still on the list although can't seem to figure out why. So either I'm an idiot or [their website](https://nsfw.app/) is down. I didn't stick around long enough to figure out which. Speculative at best imo.
**Verge (**[**XVG**](https://vergecurrency.com/)**)**
Up first in the last entry and by far the most valuable, this one [has always been interesting.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/8d3610/why_the_vergepornhub_partnership_didnt_move_the/) Being the first to partner with a major platform: PornHub. I think this project is a good example of why people shouldn't really ride hype cycles since its appointment to **King of the Category** was earned the old fashioned way. Verge is just good at being a low-drama cryptocurrency that does the job. I'm not even sure it was even supposed to be an "adult coin".
**LOOD (**[**NOOD**](https://loodclips.com/noods)**)**
The largest gainer last time by technicality, this one is a content creator-led DAO with [experienced developers](https://www.xbiz.com/news/261723/titcoin-founder-launches-lood-cryptocurrency). Although a few rocky years after launching to sky-high gas fees on Ethereum led to the project [recently splitting in two](https://medium.com/loodcrypto/web3-is-the-future-of-adult-entertainment-6a9ac9bd957c). Work continues on being the adult industry's "G Suites".
**TABOO TOKEN (**[**TABOO**](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/taboo-token/)**)**
Well they had a nice website at the time but that's now down. This one has completely flatlined.
[**CumRocket**](https://www.cumrocket.io/) **(CUMMIES)**
You know, last time I said that this rocket came down a long way since Elon Musk theoretically tweeted about it. I said,
>This coin has no purpose but they’re trying to find one, again.
And not much has changed since. But it's [definitely not](https://x.com/CumRocketCrypto) dead.

Note that all projects on this list have or at least *had* at some point working products or verified teams. And while there have been adult-themed memecoins that hit sizable market caps on launchpads, pretty much all those projects obviously had no real intention of being useful and often had no real affiliation with the adult industry. But there is one honorable mention:
**MOTHER IGGY (**[**MOTHER**](https://www.mother.fun/)**)**
Iggy's idea. Stylized $MOTHER. I like this one because it never really pretended to be much despite being official.

I hope you enjoyed the piece. What made me write the originals was my role in helping develop a lot of the very first adult crypto payment systems from 2013 to around 2017 (see: my username) so its been interesting to keep up with the much faster pace of todays market. Let me know if there's anything you think I missed worth mentioning. Or if you've held any of these projects, feel free to vent.

Claro en la DAO tenemos espacios de Academy, que quieres explicar o entender realmente?
