Race Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Yes, only Glen could think of a way to PREVENT customers from buying art -- by demanding only crypto, which only a very small minority of people possess due to, oh, little problems like excessive volatility, difficulty in buying and the constant threat of cybertheft. Congrats, or something. Edited January 28 by Race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were available for non crypto payments a couple of weeks ago. I initially logged in to create a post like this I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. An incredibly greedy and isolating move by Glen. He will never get my business in the future. I fail to see how this move is not motivated by greed. Or the unfounded fear that the market is being flooded by crypto cash. Where did this rumour come from actually and where are the hard cold facts? From what I know, crypto enthusiasts are more likely to put their money into NFTs, urban or contemporary art. A market which has is far less niche, has a larger following and yields higher returns than comic art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick2you2 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 So, he’s only taking etherium? At first, I thought he meant ethyl, like in gasoline. Has he refused US funds for anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief1332 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Forgive my ineptness, but is there any tax incentive for requesting payments via crypto or other such noncash forms of payment? Or maybe currency exchange rates? Maybe the seller thinks the crypto is due for a huge rebound, and this could be like "having his cake and eating it too."

I have no idea, but I imagine he is trying to appeal to the crypto guys and this way they can just transfer directly? Again, just guessing.
