1) you can't sell a subscription in crypto anyway, there's no way to bill users

2) if an affiliate wants to be paid in crypto -- you force THEM to take the risk. they get credit $30 to their account when they make a sale -- when its time for a payout, if they want crypto, you make the conversion USD->crypto right then and there.

I do understand there are accounting considerations from the business' perspective.
