You don't think an Etsy artist who became popular enough to hire employees and make a large brand would ever sell shares of their business? Or is that type of Etsy user immoral/incorrect? Not clear to me what point you're making here.



Why did they create their Etsy store? Was it to make as much money as possible? If the goal is just to make money then they should cash out at the peak of their brand.


What I meant to convey with my original reply is that making as much money as possible and trying to improve society aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Then you proceeded to seemingly present a mutual exclusion of either someone making art for art's sake or making art simply to make as much money as they can.


You can only have one #1 priority. Maybe following your #2 priority helps achieve #1. Is that what you are saying? Selling a Crypto Company for Fiat makes Crypto more legit?
