So the AH just takes the loss? It seems like it would be a challenge to always be able to immediately convert a crypto payment, but I am not experienced in the ways of crypto and maybe the AHs that take it have a 24-hour alert set up so they never miss it the second one of those payments comes in.
And I would assume/hope that loss doesn't get passed through to the seller/consignors. Unless they actually asked to be paid in crypto.
