Bitcoin Forum

 I write apps for a living.  Someone wanted a crypto one done and they paid me in bitcoin. Living the dream.

Yep, it's a wonderful feeling. I've started earning bitcoin (long ago) with translations, hence you, with apps, are already at a higher level.
Well done and keep it up!

Starting with a small amount is truly an amazing feeling. But the thing is, after you've accumulated even just a small fraction of bitcoin, you'll start wanting to accumulate more and appreciate every sats you are going to receive.

I am an undergrad student who doesn't care about finance before but when I was first introduced in BTC, it opened a lot of interesting things specifically in finance. And that's the best lesson I've come across in my entire life. So keep up!

P.S Your comics is quite entertaining to read!

Congrats and that's a big achievement. I had my first earning in terms of bitcoin from faucets. These days earning bitcoin have termed to be a hard thing. Nowadays there are no big faucets and the earning is much dependent on skills and services offered. If I calculate the value of faucets received in the old days, now it could be atleast a hundred dollar.

Crypto is a future and if you have skills, you will have very good chances to get good jobs in crypto with high pay rate.

Congrats @OP it always feels good when you get paid for service rendered through btc, it is a wonderful feeling, what will be more appealing is if you hold that btc through this period to when btc is back on track and market fully recovered, it is possible the value will be a lot higher, the interesting part is it is a very easy method of payment. Enjoy.

Congratulation for that..This is very big achievement. When you get paid service i think it is always great of works.I hope you are better feeling now. That paid works makes you a happy and wonderful.Keep it up!

Cool!
You had a call to action for btc pay or  did he/she offer you the payment like that or something else?

Thanks I'm a dev, I'll take a look :)

until now I also still remember what I felt the first time when I got paid in Bitcoin, I was really happy.

thank you for this link, I am indeed looking for other additional income apart from this forum and being paid with crypto is my priority.

Congrats. Thats is consider as an achievement. Keep it up mate ! :)

I remember the feeling of earning my first BTC here in the forum. I literally couldn't stop looking at it on my wallet inside our local exchange and the endless possibilities that I have imagined with it are beyond my wildest imagination. As someone who started earning BTCs back in 2017, I could say that I am yet to achieve of earning a solid 1 BTC in my wallet but I am somehow and relatively closer in achieving that dream. As days passed by, I also get nearer and nearer towards that goal, soon in having that shiny 1 BTC on my wallet!

Keep up the good work and this kind of motivation will burn passionately within you. Channel your talents into different works and create opportunities that will allow you to earn more in the forum! Congratulations, OP.

Thanks.

The fee was agreed in $ but paid in btc.  The person paying asked if I wanted to reconsider as the price of btc as going down?  I said no, This way I just get more bitcoin.  ;)

First of all.... Well Done!

I also get paid a portion of my wages in Bitcoin, because my Boss gave us a choice on how we want to get paid. So, we set the percentage and they then pay us that percentage in Bitcoin.

This has been happening for years and the good part of this is, IF you hoard it and the price of Bitcoin goes up.... you get more money from the same bitcoins. (The opposite is also true, but I set it aside for when the price goes up)  ;)

My suggestion will be to push it to a hardware wallet and to wait for the price to go up.

congrats to you, if you manage to hold for a long time and the price recovers to $69000 then you will have made an excellent choice because you will have a good profit. this is undoubtedly a great advantage of someone receiving payment in bitcoin for the work they do while the price is at $36000, of course it can also be disadvantageous for those who received it when the price was $69000

I think the best time to get paid in BTC is right now when the market is very down because this way you will get double or close to when the market recovers, I congratulate you bro, am sure it is a payment well deserved, the feeling must be overwhelming.

Well done to the OP!

Its such a good feeling to be able to create something physical or digitally and
get rewarded for it. I am also one on the forum who has created designs for others
and got paid for doing so with Bitcoin.

If you have a talent and want to be paid in Bitcoin ^{or other crypto} you should
consider creating a thread in the SERVICES (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0) section.

All good, but is there a possibility you being payed in crypto more than once? Because that's when things get interesting. And if that, by chance happens, is the BTC pay locked to a FIAT curency (20 dollars in BTC what ever the price of BTC is), or is it agreed upon only as BTC pay? Those are the things I would like to know (obviously, the firat one is the best option)

Congratulations! That's the best feeling ever right? You can do more with that and you'll get more payments in bitcoin and that means more sources that you can ask for if you can do a lot of things from it.
You've already started and just keep up the good work and you'll definitely going to love accumulating more bitcoins through receiving payment in that form.

Congratulations, my friend, everything starts small and I'm sure one day your work will be paid handsomely, what kind of work do you do if may i know?
enjoy your life, and keep working

It is really just a matter of effort and perseverance on which it could really give out that chance for you to earn crypto without needing on investing some money out of your pocket but rather make money out of your

skills.It is really just other people do have that closed minded kind of thinking on which they couldnt really able to utilize into those skills but if they dont like to get their hands dirty then they would really be
having this kind of option.If you are really serious on earning then you could really see one if you do tend to seek off but if you do keep on sitting without doing something then you would
really end up on having no earning.

Not all would really be starting on having that kind of skills thats why he do really have that advantage which he could really monetize if he use it on proper way.
Having this skill cant be acquired in short time thats why he had that skills which is more than in most people here on the market.You could really make
tons if you do know on what you are doing.

Indeed if I read about forums, this is a special forum for Bitcoin discussions. But it seems like this forum has had many benefits besides knowledge. For those of you who have the ability then you can make money / crypto from this forum, of course with internet connection capital only. It's really fun and makes you happy, that achievement can make our motives increase. I think that the more we are useful to this forum, then there will be many advantages that we get including generating crypto or tokens.

We are living with a dream like yours. But one day your dream will come true. We don't have any bitcoin, but I dream if I could get a job. I think maybe someday I will get this dream is always flowing inside

Great achievements , now focus here in forum and may accept more crypto payments from clients as some of my friends has same skills as yours and yes they have plenty of clients here from forum .

Mind sharing how much bitcoin was this? lol for someone Idea if how much you are charging the clients  ;D

Lol it has already come true , have not you understand the thread?

Yes, it’s a really good achievement, because the amount that he would be getting paid by developing apps is really a huge amount. Like you, I also got paid through faucets, and that was over five years ago when I was still new in cryptocurrency. I engaged in gathering free bitcoins from so many faucets, and I did it for quite a long time and was able to gain a reasonable amount from it.

There are so many faucets that I had to take part in, and while some of them were paying a really good and reasonable amount, others were just a stress for you to go through. But at the end it was good that I was able to gain from it. And that aside, I was also able to get paid through Bitcoin for jobs that I did, which got me the highest amount for sure.

The sweet part is you don't have to wait for anyone to get your transaction across a border and their useless charges especially these freelance platforms that kick out people when they don't follow their unfriendly policies. I'm glad you are living a dream just that you have tax a head except may be your country doesn't legalize bitcoin or see it as a legal tender yet.
I hope one day, the knowledge I'm accumulating will change my life with bitcoin, I really hope.

Congratulations mate. Even if you don't get payment from other clients in crypto, you can convert the income into bitcoin and keep the bitcoins save with you for the long term.

By the way let us know is this the first time you have got the payment in bitcoin? I am asking this because you are a Sr. Member on the forum and might have got payments in bitcoins from campaigns (If you had joined any before).

It's a welcomed development,i appreciate you for your innovations, because is not easy for someone to be creative in nature, and secondly bitcoin is digital currency that is going viral across the world, so it's only few people that reject payment with bitcoin, but since you are crypto guru's or crypto minded you will accept cryptocurrency,.. congrats again for your invention.

It must be a good feeling seeing those Satoshis dropped in your wallet. I remember the first time I got paid in BTC for one of the bounties I did, it felt good and wanted more  ;D bounties of such. Just as some most have advised, this is the time to hold on to it for as long as you can because of the nature on the market, you will definitely enjoy HODLing on to it.  ;)

Congratulations on your achievements. You should be proud to earn money from bitcoin and have bitcoin now. If you can do other things by helping people create the apps, you will get more because they will be satisfied with your work. It is just beginning and it needs more things to earn more so you must focus on what you do and I am sure you will achieve the other things. You can promote yourself or join other freelance websites and offer your skills to customers.

Congrats to you, there's really a lot of opportunities related to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency some people are happy to work with it like you and it's really nice to see someone who was happy working with what they like. Some people stick with the job that they don't want and can't do anything about it since they need money. I earn through trading and I can say that I'm happy about it, I'm enjoying trading and at the same time earning from it.

ya.ya.yo!

Some would say better ever than never, but you have been a member of this forum since 2014 - which means it took you 8 years to receive your first BTC payment for your work - which somehow places the adaptation of the BTC at the speed of a snail's or turtle's step. I hope that you will not have to wait another 8 years for the next payment in BTC ;)

He is doing his best to achieve his dream and now it is starting as the first payments in Bitcoin had already received and this will continue to progress in the days to come, He is lucky because he had skills and ability to  offer here while many of us has no job like what he can offer.

Good to see OP that you are progressing now and since you are member of bitcointalk i know that sooner you'll find the next one to pay you crypto .

So nice to hear and well done! Just remember to keep the Bitcoin safely and not in an exchange ;)

And you got paid at the best time right now too,,, less than 50% from the ATH, so when we get back to ATH levels again you will have doubled your money for nothing at all but patience ;)

That's a good start already.

I already did the same as you and for sure many are earning also here with the help of Bitcoin and crypto in general. I also earned my first crypto thru bounty campaigns and now in signature campaigns and some other online jobs. There are many jobs online that can pay you not only in Bitcoin but in other coins and its better to get paid with Bitcoin now if you want to accumulate more during the dip :). Good luck with your freelancing job.

It is a lump sum up front for licensing and then ongoing maintenance and development.  I said he can recalculate it whenever payment has to be made.  It may go up, it may go down.  I think it is still going down for a while.

---

I wan't really looking to get paid in btc.  It was a crypto related project and for a laugh i suggested it.  He said ok so i went with it.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

I can feel your feelings, because I felt same when I received my first payment in Bitcoin. And it's from the forum which made me more happy. Thanks for sharing your experience with us and this will inspire more users to get involved with Bitcoin. Just you need to work hard to make your dream true. Since you know the way already so it will easier for you. Best wishes for you.

I Got paid also with Bitcoin during the first week of January.
Mine was as a result of a football competition, payment was made with Bitcoin as I was captain of my team that won the football tournament down my ends and streets.
I did scored the highest goals in the competition, a total of seven goals, I was paid a $40dollars worth of bitcoin.

It's a great feeling for you to be paid in BTC. Congratulations to you by the way.

For most of my online career, I was paid via Paypal or Payoneer as a home-based virtual assistant. Until I got into crypto, most of my salary and income were in USDT and BUSD. I remember that the first time I was paid in Bitcoin, it was from a freelance writing gig in a now-defunct e-sports blog.

Until now, I am still grateful for that day when I have been paid BTC for the first time.

That’s really cool. The first time I got paid in Bitcoin was through a job I got on linkedin.com, I was given an option to either receive my payment through PayPal or through Bitcoin, and I didn’t waste time in choosing Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a really cool invention and it has changed a lot of things on how we operate our finance. And it is usually the best choice for a lot of people, especially myself, because with Bitcoin I’m able to reduce the cost of the transactions I make.

And apart from the cost that is being reduced, another thing is that it makes the transaction to be quick. Unlike other payment methods, you don’t have to wait for days, or have any issue at all with anyone, because you are the one who is in total control of your wallet.

Congrats, OP! Quite fulfilling to get paid in some other ways.
Welp, I would love to experience the same thing in my freelancing stuff. I signed up to some sites that allows payment through crypto like LaborX, so far I don't get any hits there just yet due to less jobs in my fields, but meh surely opportunity pops up anytime.

Amazing! Bitcoin is the best mean of payment for virtual jobs and tasks. This way you can work for people from any country in the world and still get paid instantly, without using middlemen services which charge abusive taxes and fees such as traditional banks and even sites like Paypal. When you start dealing with bitcoin you don't want to stop doing this anymore. You just keep trying to find more and more opportunities to continue earning and saving. Working in informaticss field and having a lot of customers, I guess you can accumulate an entire bitcoin relatively fast. If you are confident about your skills and professionalism, I think it's an interesting goal to have in mind.

So, you are saying that he is already born with that skill? I think it does not work like that. Everyone of us will start on scratch, we may discover our interest eventually but we still need to work that out in order to become better at it. We should not let our self down just because we think that someone has a better skill than us.

Just think that someone will have this skill but he cant do the skill that you have because like I said earlier, it is all about interest. We may have a different set of skill but we do all feel the same feeling when we finally get paid with our hardwork. The feeling gets extra better if the payment is in the form of cryptocurrencies because we have interest on it.

Everyone remembers their first payment which they received in bitcoins. I remember that i was paid in bitcoin to write an article a few years back. The feeling of getting your first income in bitcoin is always a special one.


Did you virtually play football over the internet or did you win bitcoins by physically playing the game?  Bitcoin must be legally accepted and widely used in your country if people can pay it in competitions.

Good job mate, I suggest too keep receiving bitcoin as a payment for your services and hold it for years, in the future you will be amaze how rewarding to hold btc when the price is move up exponentially in the next few years.

Of course he is seeking for client that  will pay him Bitcoin , check his account and you'll see how long he had been in this offering but yet just recently that he recieved payments.

Really ? street football pays you bitcoin?  ;D that's cool mate ..

I'm still looking for this same opportunity .

a very extraordinary experience because some of your work in bitcoin is really paid for, you should be grateful because there are still many people who are already working in bitcoin and haven't been paid at all, keep what you have earned, don't waste the opportunity, because opportunity doesn't will come 2 times.

That's a smart move by you for accepting and didn't agreed to reconsider the payment as Bitcoin is really heading downward and that you're going to get more Bitcoin.
The feeling is really kinda addicting when you earn Bitcoin from the thing you do for living. I hope you'll get more clients paying you Bitcoin or other crypto.
That will also open a way for more Bitcoin adoption by doing crypto payments more often.

it is not extraordinary for a person that is working here in forum and outside , because the skills you offer is crypto worth paying , maybe OP is receiving most of His payment in the past with Altcoins and just now that he received Bitcoin that is why he is so grateful and happy.
the quote says "Opportunity Only Knock ones not twice" maybe that is what you are meant here?

this is His dream , to receive more and more bitcoin from His clients and work related part.
actually he is looking for more partnership to and I like it that way, Best if he create a service thread here and in altcoins section for him to receive more opportunity of crypto payments not only bitcoins.
but best if he will have another service and not only this kind of job .

what a great thing when it comes to accepting payments with bitcoins for what we do. it will be an unforgettable moment.
this is an achievement that will make you even more excited, because your work is rewarded with bitcoins. maybe in the future there will be a few more orders that will pay you with crypto altcoins other than bitcoin.

From how some sports betting site use crypto as well in their platform, I am not surprised that street football side would start paying their players with crypto primarily Bitcoin. Not even surprised if such physical casinos would consider having Bitcoin in their establishment.

congratulations to you because you have been paid with bitcoin, a very extraordinary job because it is paid with bitcoin, I have never felt paid with bitcoin, maybe this month I will feel paid with bitcoin, because I am now following the bitcoin forum. .

I will be having mine also in the next months because the company I am working os acknowledging crypto and the first currency they are going to invest is Bitcoin,.

there is a Memorandum comes out yesterday asking if Whom wanted to accept bitcoin in payment monthly and i ask for mine lol.

its a good idea mate and probably you found good people behind the project wherein that pays bitcoin instead of shitcoin, because to be honest when i was seeking a project that hirings for a graphic artist way back 2019. all they want me to get paid is token with no value which not fair and you don't have any idea if the token will gain gain the future.. So good for you that you got paid using bitcoin for your hard work..

basically doing good will produce good, so my parents said. and that I see from your topic and your work in providing benefits to others in the crypto world and by doing good and mutually beneficial cooperation.
maybe you are also interested in the ANN tread can also join in it to continue to be productive too in this forum. good luck and continued success!

OP isnt some sort of bounty hunters or management or something like that and as you can see he is on developing apps kind of skill which is far more better in terms of skills and possible income that  you could get 
from this and just like others been saying that having this skill alone would really be giving you advantage compared to others.

You could definitely make out money or profits and monetize your skill on various aspects.It is really just depending on where you do able to look from considering that looking for job or projects
is the most toughest part of all.
You could get paid neither on fiat or crypto it wouldnt matter as long you could make money then thats whats important.

First, congratulations to you OP. You receive bitcoin for your work and you now decide whether to hold it or just dump it but the wise idea is to hold it if you have other source of income.

Great, that's the type of company that I would love to work for too. If they've asked for paying their workers in bitcoin, they're also holding it. It's a hassle to them if they'll buy bitcoin with your salary and then give it to you.

In this day and age, there are many ways to get bitcoin, a lot is done to get bitcoin, many platforms provide their own way, even in today's life one can earn money while sleeping, this is not a dream but this is reality.

Congrats for your first payment. You got to know what bitcoin is when you actually start using bitcoin. You received payment, directly, instantly and without any cuts. If you work on freelance platform like fiverr you will get payment after 14 days and with 20% deduction.
Using bitcoin actually tells you what's the real crypto is about.

Congratulations mate and you deserve to get paid with a good amount for your hard work. Bitcoin truly offers lots of opportunities for us. Sometimes, we only have to accumulate skills so we could the job of our choice. It's too fulfilling to get paid with Bitcoin because we could decide whether to trade it, invest it or encash it. I hope everyone who is jobless could also see the opportunities that Bitcoin could offer.

Congrats OP for your first salary. Getting paid with bitcoin is one of the biggest achievement that makes you proud of. You've work so hard for this.And I think this is only the beginning. Looking forward to seeing even more great things from you.. Keep it up  ;)

Getting paid with BTC you must be very excited right. You should be proud of your hard work, I've felt what you feel but getting paid with Etherum and it's an impressive thing to me for earning money from crypto. Glad with your good news. Keep it up bro. BTC have good potential as payment of salary and i hope to get it too

It is a sort of motivation and proof that we can make a living in crypto. Many just doubted how it works but you have made it and to tell everyone that it can be possible.

Well, being an apps writer is a skill, that is kinda special and of course, it pays higher than the other form of job. This will be a stepping stone for a brighter future and being paid with Bitcoin is really exciting. And I hope that other offices can make that offer as well and make this a trend.

Amazing job, must be maintained because it is rare for jobs to be paid with bitcoin, I have never felt paid with bitcoin, I really want to be paid with bitcoin, but I have never gotten a job paid with bitcoin, I joined the bounty I haven't even experienced being paid with bitcoin.

interesting comic, congrats buddy for the payment. Hopefully this will be your first step for a bigger income than before, congratulations, my friend


I like this, thank you for the info you provide
I will try my luck there, who knows I can get crypto too at that link

It feels even better when you one day find out that you were paid $100 for the job and that's now $500 :D I had that with my first payments from signature campaigns from 2017. They were left on some small wallet made especially for tips from bitcointalk and I went to check it out again in 2021 and it was something like 6x the value in fiat :D Working for bitcoin can reward you multiple times in your lifetime, you just need some patience.

Congratulations colleague. I am expecting to get my first bitcoin pay. When I get it the whole world would hear about it. I would keep it until it gets to the $100000 mark this year.

Congrats to you and sure feels good especially if you are a Bitcoin enthusiast cos you know you would hold on to it not just only as an asset with value but also as a souvenir because it was gotten as a payment from a development you did. I would take Bitcoin payment any day over fiat, enjoy.

Congratulations on a successful business move. Could you please elaborate on this. Are you doing it part-time or do you expect to earn a regular income in the form of crypto for your day job? Whatever it is, it sounds like it could be lucrative. I wish you the best.

Well not all --there are still people who love to pay bitcoin and even purchase using bitcoin, it is up to us which do we prefer.
When I first got my bitcoin earning here in the forum, I am very happy at that time and I can't believe that the bitcoin value was increase.
However, congrats to the the OP, the hard to task that you have done, the hardest skills that you have know the higher chances you will get a bitcoin as payment and making apps is not an easy task.

It depends. As for me, I'll be glad to paid with bitcoin and fiat as a part of my salary. Bitcoin for my investment/asset and fiat for my necessities.

The reasons sometimes are reasonable though, for say if they don't have much knowledge about Bitcoins and how to get it or if the transaction is like smaller then paying with Bitcoin is not feasible because of the high transaction fees currently, but if you write as a freelancer for bulk work, then you can get paid in Bitcoins if amount is higher then also if they pay with fiat, just convert it into crypto yourself if they refuse to pay you with crypto and save it ;D

your skills are very much needed in this era of digitalization, making your clients pay with Bitcoin i'm sure it will require quite tough negotiations ^{(because not everyone has confidence in bitcoin)}.  continue to develop your skills, and also offer your services on other freelance sites, there are many whale clients who are ready to pay you with bitcoin.

Happy for you mate. It’s surely good thing to know when we are already on the same page and want to accomplish similar dreams. For now I’m just blessed with signature campaign from the forum. I am trying hard way with simple faucets, micro earning sites etc whose paying me in satoshi. I know this is not real payment for doing something real. What I mean by real is the usage of our own skills and implementation of the same to service others and get paid into crypto. I see you as ideal example here and I just wish someday I will also be capable of doing the same. Good luck for further jobs.

We all have our own preferences, and I believe that we should respect one another's choices. Both are good for me, and I agree that it is a good investment; we are just a little surprised and delighted that bitcoin was included in our salary rather than the traditional currency; it is amazing that you received bitcoin while working, and you can keep it because it has sentimental value; however, when spending, we should stick to fiat currency because bitcoin is still only accepted by a small number of merchants at this time.

How I wish I also get some decent amount of bitcoins from my daily work but that is almost impossible since our city is not yet crypto-friendly and even though I work as a graphic designer, I haven't been paid in crypto in any of my online transactions. Anyway, the best thing to offer is to give them some freebies when you are working for them and tell them to pay with bitcoins if they really want to get those freebies but right now you need to educate these people first and be their guide in their journey towards the crypto industry.

This is understandable. Many companies still lack all the necessary information about crypto payments and haven't integrated them into existing processes and systems. Paying in dollars or euros feels more comfortable because they don't know if they should trust the business handling their crypto payments. They would feel more comfortable with a cash payment that is easy to make and does not require a third party to process the transaction. Others find the same payment service to be too complicated.

All these reasons make them stick to the status quo of paying with cash and paying with their preferred currency. And this is understandable for the time being.

Not that really needed for bitcoin to be regulated on your country since you could really still able to earn bitcoin through online jobs which do pays bitcoin or other crypto which there would be no limitation which could

hindered out for you to earn.Everything could be possible when it comes or talks about accessibility.As long you do have the skills then you wouldnt really be having no problems on earning online.
Of course it wouldnt really be easy because competition would really be that high which make things a little bit harder.

You should do so. I have been accepting Bitcoin as payment for long now. First I started on freelancing platforms, and I was making use of other payment methods like PayPal and payoneer, and the rest of them. The fees that I had to pay in making use of these payment platforms was quite much for me, so I decided to look for other platforms that I would use, and Bitcoin was the only option I had which would be better than any other payment method that I was using as of then.

Although that required me to leave the freelance platform which I was using, so I had to move most of my regular clients from there to making use of Skype and other means to communicate with them and also to deliver their jobs through emails. I had to tell them that I was accepting Bitcoin, and surprisingly a lot of them complied, and started making use of Bitcoin to send payments to me.

It's feels great working and earning in crypto-currency really it's brings the world closer, I can be in Africa and working for a client millions of miles away in another country and payment method won't be a problem with crypto-currency, the world is advancing and crypto-currency is facilitating it. Anytime I put in work, and get paid in crypto-currency I hunger to work even more, it's a true blessed feeling

Lol.. shall i will say it's when op encounter it own experience of receiving payment with Bitcoin, since op has started to summon courage via receiving payment with bitcoin, i believe from my perspective it has activated for the life system, no matter the delay or time frame it has taken op, we should encourage and wish op to continue with cryptocurrency payment transactions, because it definitely bring more testimonies about cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin in outside world..lol.

I also still remember when I got my first payment in Bitcoin. I got my first Bitcoin because I created a video to promote a crypto project. In the past, I have a youtube channel that has good numbers of subscribers. So, I was trying to take advantage of my youtube channel by creating videos of crypto projects. Finally, I got my first from that videos although the number of my Bitcoin was quite small.

I know how you feel it has been so long and I could still remember how happy I was back then,
I feel like I finally gain some freedom and become independent when I first earn cryptocurrency.
I was earning small amount back then but I was already dreaming big with crypto.

Congrats OP. This one here shows to prove that talent and skills are more reliable these days to earn up a living, and not just some sort of luck. Now i am gaining new ideas too as to where i could possibly gained more bitcoin aside from purely investing. Also, this goes to show that bitcoin could lead us into more stable jobs like we used to deal with fiat. But definitely, the offer here is more worthy than working for fiat.

Yes. I think it's a big advantage for employeers from rich countries and employees from poor countries, because the first group will be having access to qualified labor for a cheaper price, if compared the to local rates of employees of their own country, which demands better payrates due to the living cost being more expensive there. Meanwhile, employees from poor countries don't bother receiving less, as even less is still a lot for the local living standards.

On the other hand, bringing employeers and employees closer, doesn't matter where they are located in the world, can have a negative impact for the masses of first world countries, because they will have difficult finding jobs which pay decently, as they will have to compete with people who are, like you said, millions of miles away in another country, for the same spots.

If you are diligent on finding those jobs paying crypto or btc, you will find one.
There are many sites now offering freelancer jobs paying bitcoin or other alts.
If you will do a quick search over the net, you will encounter this article posting the sites which you can earn btc

https://www.webemployed.com/freelance-websites-pay-bitcoin/

CryptoGrind-BlockLancer-BitGigs and others.

So if will use your spare time in searching those sites, certainly you will find one that suits your skills.
Check also the reviews if they are paying decent amount or if they are indeed paying their freelancers.

I've been paid twice in bitcoin for some php bugs fixing in an ecommerce platform (magento), small amounts but still.. I know the feeling and is amazing. Congrats OP!

Looks like another Bot fails to function and now sending application in different section lol.

reported for deletion ..

we as crypto supporters and Bitcoin lover to be specific ? of course it is always grateful to be paid by crypto(aside from our signature and bounty here in forum)

It is a great experience anyway...having a chance to get paid for Bitcoin at this time is somewhat a stepping stone to the reality that Bitcoin can be a form of currency in the future. Maybe 5 years from now major establishments will do this.
Well, I received payment from the signature campaign but it was a different feeling when you got paid from your job.
It is to know that more people are getting knowing about cryptocurrency, especially for Bitcoin, and likely to go for adoption.

Congrats on your win! This may seem a small achievement to some, but to be paid whether big or small amount by doing the things you love and you are passionate about is something worth celebrating. It's a victory no matter what. Indeed, bitcoin has so many opportunities to offer. The things offered related with crypto is endless and anyone can really make a profit and even a living by utilizing their knowledge and skills connected and in line with it. Hopefully, you'll be able to continue what you are doing. Don't settle for less and demand the right compensation for your work. I wish this kind of compensation would be adopted and be thought of other individuals and establishments as well. Giving the employee/worker an opportunity to pick and choose what form of salary they want to receive to is a great way to start.

Don't mention that it's not a lot because it's still money and a little appreciation goes a long way. I haven't been paid in bitcoin for some work yet but I am working on a marketable skill to be able to make sure that I can offer some sort of services but for now, I guess I'll have to stick with getting paid for writing posts in this forum.

I also get paid in Bitcoin, and I have been working for so long now and my payment has been in Bitcoin from the beginning. The first time that I got paid in BTC, I wasn’t really the one who asked for it, although then I don’t really have much interest in accepting Bitcoin for payments in the job that I do, but I had a BTC wallet. So, it happened that I got a job through indeed.com, and the company I was going to work for told me that they would like to make payments using any crypto of my choice, so I looked at the idea and I felt it was a good one. I decided that I would accept it and that was how I did my first job That got me paid through Bitcoin. Till now I am accepting it for the web developing job I do.

Almost 8  years of account being here in crypto , how long have you been doing that service ? because you just post this now here meaning is this the very first time that you experienced being paid in bitcoin?
mostly accepting altcoin as payment is that what you meant here?
Lol paycheck? are you serious? there will never be a check because this is crypto and a online transaction lol.

Those who has got paid in Bitcoin for their work during last several weeks, how do you cope with price drops? I know that most of you most probably just hold, but still, today the reward your work is significantly lower than it was when you and your client made an agreement of work and payment. I am interested how to do cope with emotional discomfort. As this is not the same as you have made a trade and your profit is lower. Your work evaluates lower than is used to be.

No need to have hard feelings about drops of price , we just have to cope with it either by holding it for sometime umtill when their is increase in the market or to sell if the bitcoin is needed in urgent , it can be in the other way round too anytime if payment is made and the price goes up. Their is a quote which says "if you meet the dip today do not panic  it also possible to meet some gains tomorrow when the market rises in values".

That will be the risk upon having Bitcoin as it possibly loses its value for quite some time that is why we have to convert it to fiat money if we wanted to be safe or if we are not preferred for holding. This is one of the concerns that many workers and even merchants halt to accepting Bitcoin, of course, fiat is the safest one as no change in its value. This certainly be an option and our willingness to accept it, and OP is quite happy to have this experience without minding the changes.

Wow congrats! I am also doing that as a freelance writer and marketing manager. I prefer crypto as payment than fiat. Good choice!

If you write apps for a living you could have easily get paid in crypto long ago. All you need to do is announce your services to the public.
We have a services board where you can easily announce your services and people who want it can reach out to you.
That's how many are getting paid in crypto for their work. It's great that you have now begun to get paid in crypto.
You can show your samples and may get the next task assigned to you soon. All the best.

The risk of volatility or bitcoin losing some of its value doesn't necessarily bother bitcoin adopters for payments. Some people prefer to hold bitcoin rather than immediately convert them to fiat upon receipt of ^[investment] payment and while others may sell bitcoin for fear of losing their value.

I think it doesn't matter how they use bitcoin because as long as they can afford the risk of losing then they can hold it and if they don't want to lose value because of the capital used they can sell it as soon as possible.

I guess you never had a job with payment in Bitcoin, so you post is rather useless, as everyone knows that holding is everything for Bitcoin.
Tell, when you get your fiat salary and see that the prices in shops are increasing, do you also hold your fiat and wait for shop prices to go down? Do you prefer to starve?

Now move this situation to our topic. You got paid in Bitcoin for your job, its value goes down, but you need to pay your bill and buy food. You will hold and wait for "tomorrow gains" ?

This is the reason why bitcoin jobs or investments should never be our main source of income since we will really starve in the end, but it could be the best investment that we can hold for now and reap the gains when the price is already at peak. But OP, you did a great job so congrats. I guess OP is just trying to encourage us that bitcoin is not just an investment alone but it could also be in the form of salary as long as you have special skills and talents in bitcoin.

Congratulations op, i must say this is really something good start up for earning bitcoin. It sounds like, op have trust enough on bitcoin, and thats why he agreed to go for bitcoin as payment even after bad market condition, which is wise move. i think thus you Should try to take others payment with bitcoin. Generally you need to expenses for livelihood but if you hold then rest of available dollar with bitcoin, could be big achievement for you

I think being paid in bitcoin is already a good start to invest in bitcoin especially if you can hold it for years as it could mean bigger profits. But the fact that 1 bitcoin is 100x valuable than fiat, i guess that's already a big advantage for us regardless whether it has lower or higher value for now due to its volatility. In my country, a single bitcoin could even buy a new house or a new car, that's how expensive it is. But maybe for now you may get paid in a small portion of bitcoin but once it will be compounded, it will still create a huge value in the long run. So congrats OP, your efforts are now well compensated.

maybe for the op's country and you, it's not a problem because it already recognizes crypto, obviously many are more happy to accept these payments. but we also know that there are still many countries that do not recognize crypto and that will be a problem in itself, if forced to accept payments with crypto.
because they still continue to use fiat as a legal tender.

in principle I really agree that it is possible to make payments with crypto, because it will be one step ahead and greatly benefit those who receive payments.

That's great if you got that.
And it always give good vibes and always strong your intention.
Never give up.
Keep it up.

Obviously, by paycheck, he did not mean the paper check we get which we cash out at banks  :)
Generally, we usually term the payments of work or services as "paychecks".

I can understand the happiness it feels when you get your first payments in bitcoins. This is more true for those who haven't had any bitcoin wit them before. Owing a bitcoin wallet, with bitcoin in it always feels good.

Obviously the price drop in the price of bitcoin will have a significant impact for hodlers who work and get paid with bitcoin and who doesn't have other alternative in preventing the drop of their portfolio, however personally to be on a safer side in most cases I transfer my bitcoin to my Binance wallet and exchange it to USDT a stable coin while I also utilize the opportunity of  using P2P in case if I needed some fiat, though Binance requires some level of KYC before allowing such a transaction to take place, any crypto worker can make use of such opportunity.

getting paid with bitcoin is quite a fun thing. whether this is the same or not, but a few years ago, quite a lot of jobs paid someone with bitcoins. well, maybe bitcoin was still cheap at the time, and you could even make it from a faucet. however, when it is paid for using bitcoin, there is a feeling of satisfaction for us. Well, to be honest, I was also very satisfied when my first job on the internet was paid for using bitcoin. well, it's like people are getting used to this.

Congratulations to the OP, save and collect as many bitcoins as you make from your skills so you can enjoy a satisfying profit when the price goes up later.

getting paid or bitcoin salary from the results we do or we work according to our skills is a priceless pleasure, I mean the advantage is that we don't need to buy bitcoins to invest if our abilities are limited and we can get them and collect bitcoins from the skills we have.
and this forum is a source to get bitcoins for free with the work and services of their respective expertise, and also there will be no worry when the price drops because we don't get it by buying.

currently I am a final semester student, besides that I also have a side job as a freelance writer on a platform that pays with crypto. In the future, I want to develop my writing skills to become more expert in order to be able to set my salary rates with Bitcoin. When our work is paid for in Bitcoin, it gives more satisfaction than being paid with fiat.

If you can develop more your skills, that will be your own asset so you can receive rewards from bitcoin. So always focus on enhancing your writing skills as you will be benefiting from it in the future. And receiving a salary like bitcoin has always been a dream for everyone because that could also mean a good retirement funds for you in the future.

If you think you have the potentials on your side job, then you should put more practice to it because who knows in the future, that will serve as your main job and accepting bitcoin payment can be a very good choice as it has a lot of future benefits. And not to tell that fiat is nothing compared to bitcoin's value, so there is really a brighter future for us if we can start accepting and saving bitcoin for now. Though its already valuable at the moment, but it will be a lot more valuable in the future if we only know how to manage it.

^ Fiat and BTC are totally different when you have it, BTC grows the value while holding and fiat will still remain even how long do you keep it.
The writing skills were in demand in any platform and usually, you can see on the website promote related to crypto and paying with BTC. It is really good to accept BTC as your salary and keep some of them in the future, let's say, spend only 50% and the rest should be your future savings. Time will come to BTC will be more expensive soon and the more you have the more profit you get.

You should develop your skill so that you can write better, not for getting paid in Bitcoin. No matter how bad or good you are, if the person doesn't want to pay you in bitcoin, you won't get paid in bitcoin. Developing your skills doesn't mean you will be getting paid in bitcoin. Look for freelancing platforms that are crypto oriented. Maybe post your gig their and you might get someone to hire you and get paid in crypto?
Why is that? Wouldn't you be already converting your btc to fiat sooner or later?

Having new progress and achievement is part of the milestone to have more it just start that your hard work will get paid so look forward to more but currently now the market is crashing and makes a retracement of the price movements also one of the impacts is on our economy currently there's a war between UK and russia we saw the price dumps to 35k USD and recover again with the 38k USD after this we see a good green market.

It does not matter which skill you have. You can earn bitcoin with any skill. There are so many online jobs and work available online and most of them prefer to pay in cryptocurrencies. I believe many more people in future will be getting paid in bitcoins.

By the time I decided to work and accept btc as a payment, I already understand that btc is so volatile that its price can go up and down so no hard feelings for me whatever direction the price headed to and besides we are here to work, the same as the people outside that are also working to earn for cash and what they do once they got their cash? Spend it on the things that are necessary.

Bitcoin workers can also do the same thing so the chances for them to long hodl their btc and experience a major dip is low. Price of the btc does not affect in the work that you have done. You know to yourself that you have done a great job and your employer is satisfied to you.

Well done, and congrats on the accomplishment. The faucet I used gave me my first bitcoins. Earning bitcoins has become increasingly difficult these days. Getting a good salary today relies much on the skills and services offered rather than on big faucets. It would be at least one hundred dollars if I calculated the value of faucets received in the old days.

Those old gold days are gone on which some people do really stick out with faucets on earning coins but now its not really that relevant on wasting up your time on claiming those cents.

Its true that most thing that you would need is those specific skills and knowledge on certain jobs which it would really be an advantage compared to others.
Yet we do have several to moderate blockchain based type jobs on which you could really dive in if you are capable on.

You cannot just find a job and work on it if you are not skilled on it. For me, it will be more satisfying if you can give your best in a job because you put your whole passion in it, and you can expect that your work deserves a good compensation too. Having paid in bitcoin is only a bonus. If you can extend your skill into creating another skills that will still suit on you, that will do more good on you. The more skills you have, the bigger chances you'll earn good amount in bitcoin.

Congratulations. I can feel your feelings too, bro. Actually, I also feel the same when I get paid in crypto or bitcoin or when I convert that alt payment into bitcoin. I feel so happy. because I have become an owner of a portion of bitcoin. As an article writer, I am occasionally compensated in altcoin and occasionally in stable coin.But I loved to convert them into bitcoin and if there was a price drop, it was like a blessing for me. I could enter into the red zone but at a discount, I believed. Really, these feelings are something different and unique.

Remember that if you make your passion as your job, it will hurt your interest to it once a lot of jobs had been done. You should separate what you wanted to do 8-5 and what you want to do in your free time.
If you like eating, you would love to do it with your freewill not on what other people wanted you to eat.

But there are  things which is out of our comfort zone but we do really need to deal with it because its only the way for you to make out more profits out on your free time.Although
it would really be out of your interest or preference but still there are people who could really able to handle it out despite of the situation.
There's lost of works now that paying up with bitcoin but majority of them does really require that specific skill which it isnt really for everybody.

If you can explore the crypto space, there's more of those jobs that are paid in bitcoin. As long as you have the good skills, certainly those  job will be worth doing. For me, it will give more satisfaction on the part of your employer and on yourself of course if you can work your job with more passion and interest. And having to paid in bitcoin is definitely a great opportunity to start your own investment, and also to save it for future retirement. So OP congrats! Just keep the momentum.

Being paid in bitcoin also demand more skilled hands. Seeing bitcoin in a higher value, your work should also compensate in it. So you're lucky enough OP that you are now starting to live your dream being paid in bitcoin. Congrats! I also hope that i can develop my own skill so i can find jobs that will suit for me and eventually get paid in bitcoin. But for now, i should start from the scratch and learn the hard way to get works related in bitcoin.
