I don't see why not though? One of the benefits of a decentralized currency is that it is not subject to censorship by any central authority who disagrees with the content you are purchasing. That is exactly the problem these guys are having. Granted, they'll have to pay a lot of transaction fees/gas, and the volatility still makes it hard to fix prices, but for one-off transactions, you can ignore day-to-day volatility as long as the minute-to-minite volatility is bearable.
Well, that's your opinion. I believe I highlighted the main issues with your suggestion, and added exactly the same helpfulness to the discussion as an assertion that artists should rely on patrons to send them cryptocurrency to support themselves.
It highlights the issue that the suggested solution is a theoretic or academic solution which we theorize might work out some day, but is not currently a realistic solution for the need to provide food for artists to eat so that they could remain alive.
The fact that you disagree with the explanation due to ideological purity reasons is not grounds for downvoting it.

These are all your words, not theirs. They didn't suggest this at all.

This is true, but:
1) I didn't downvote it (I literally can't)
2) There are other good reasons to downvote it, such as what I linked.
Unless you have something more to say about cyrpto I think we should leave this here.
Modern blockchain payment systems (see Base) have transaction fees that are an order of magnitude cheaper than any trad processors; they don’t discriminate based on moral grounds; transactions settle in seconds rather than days; they are not bound to only certain countries; funds are not custodially held by a single centralized tech company; the list goes on.
Much of the rationale for anti-crypto among communities that would most benefit from it (eg: NSFW art) is ill conceived and held together by an almost religious zeal.
There’s a lot of bad blood in the artistic community (on all fronts, production, distribution and consumption) to anything crypto due to the whole NFT thing… I don’t think you’re going to see anyone trying to do something that’s art + crypto for quite some time.
