If your goal is to never be "down" on a payout received (even in the short term), then yes, I'd stay clear of crypto payouts altogether because there's more stable options available.
On a personal level, temporary fluctuations don't bother me too much. If the value increases, I'm happy.
But yes, everyone's situation and view of this will be different.  |
Thanks for qualifying that.
I still have a long way to go in overcoming all my concerns about blockchain technology, not the ideology or theory, but the actual practical implementations, which often undermine some of the core tenets that make crypto conceptually advantageous.
However, when given the choice is nothing vs some, reasonably ubiquitous means of collecting payment, and even transforming (at some loss, due to service fees) into more liquid currency, it's worth trying.
My present interest is as an erotic artist (paintings, wood burnings, sculptures), the blanket "obscene, adult, pornographic" qualifier that most mainstream payment processors attach to their Acceptable Use, make them far more risky to use than crypto.
So, if I want to make my physical "adult artworks" available for sale, would I be correct in assuming that I could accept some chain(s) of cryptocurrency to receive payments and not have to worry about the adult nature of my products?
Even if I could then just convert that crypto to cash (at some loss), it would transcend the "adult content" barrier that mainstream processors use.
