A world of opportunities for freelancers

[michellee]

It is still difficult to use bitcoin to pay employee because the bitcoin price is volatile. But the company can use Dollar rate and then adjust it in bitcoin so the employee can receive their payment in bitcoin. Let say the freelancers offer $100 for his service but the company wants to pay in bitcoin. Then it will not be a problem for the company if they convert $100 into bitcoin and with the rate now, the freelancer can get almost 0.02xx btc.

By the way, if you check on the micro websites, you can find so many freelancers in that site, you can see that bitcoin was already accepted for the payment method.

this is indeed very interesting in cryptocurrency many people get jobs and also become frelance. I myself also felt a very positive thing about the existence of a cryptocurrency because I could get a job

[pooya87]

https://www.xbtfreelancer.com/ tried to apply crypto to freelancing, but people just don't accept it.

it is happening and people are freelancing with bitcoin, but you can't expect it to become big and widespread while bitcoin itself is not yet mass adopted. so until then it will remain small but it will exist.
even if you look around on bitcointalk's different boards you can see a lot of people are already freelancing here and getting paid to do it with bitcoin.

bitcoin is being used in so many places throughout the world but it can be so much more. It's obvious that there are so many freelancers in every country. Firms, companies, startups etc.. have a limitation that they can hire freelancers only from their country since they can pay them only in their native currency to avoid hassle of exchange.

Bitcoin is created to open up all the possibilities of trade world wide without any hindrance and to be away from the tight grips of the government and the bankers who are manipulating the financial system and we know what happened and what caused the last global financial meltdown, so bitcoin can be used in much wider scope than some conceive it to be and i am certain we will eventually see that happen.

Part of the problem is that nearly all firms would have to buy bitcoin to
pay a freelancer who then would most likely convert the bitcoin bact to FIAT.

Firms can use paypal as mentioned and can use SEPA bank transfers
to send FIAT.

We are still in the early stages of bitcoin usage, it can get better but
unfortunately it would take regulation so firms can avail of tax breaks.

Why is paying in bitcoin a problem ? If bitcoin is being used as payments then why do we need to convert it to fiat at all. We can just keep using the bitcoins online for payments.
Besides that paypal will then only allow a handful currencies while bitcoin being accepted as a globally accepted currency will eliminate this hassle.

[Wildwest]

I think this is a wonderful idea, and no one has used this idea before. Most platforms provide freelancers using fiat or paypal, and this is a new revolution that is worth trying on other platforms

[ASHLIUSZ]

Opportunities around the world keeps growing, one with the knowledge will succeed with ease working online. We've got so many sources like fiverr, freelancer, and so many other services letting us earn. Here the risk is high, very few wish to stick to it as we get work at some time period and by other time we won't be having any earning.

But if firms, companies, startups etc.. start using bitcoin as a payment method to hire freelancers then there will be so many opportunities for the freelancers since they can get work from anywhere in the world. I don't know why has  this not become a huge thing until now. This could really change the life of freelancers and give a better end result/product to the company they are working for.

It's a great opportunity for Freelancer to get payments for their services in Crypto. Rather I would like to say that this is an upcoming future.

I am also a freelance worker and doing work to get paid on time without any hassle.

But what I understand in process of payments?

First thing is there are tiers of freelancing level, so you have to confirm in which category you belong. Because many individuals with expertise, price or rate of work may vary from person to person. Also have to consider the capability of a freelancer, whether he is comfortable with crypto or not.

In my case, I initially got some issues but once got enrolled I am a bit happy with the process of payment.

In few last weeks, I read info about WorkChain which is a really admirable project offers Blockchain Solution for the Future of Payroll.

I dont see the problem if people accepting bitcoin as payment. Bitcoin can traded in many exchanger and any one can convert it to fiat money. Many people and firm dont know about bitcoin and if they understand about bitcoin, i think they prefer using bitcoin because saving cost and not using third party like banks

[Kakmakr]

It's just mostly one of these reasons:

1. They(one of both parties) simply dislike the volatile nature of bitcoin
2. Because most of the countries can use PayPal anyway
3. They aren't willing to learn about new tech that they probably think is unnecessary

I'm pretty sure freelancers can demand BTC anyway if they're allowed to(unless they're using freelance sites like Fiverr).

I know Fiverr did at one stage allow Bitcoin payment for freelance work, but when the scaling debate was at it's all time high, Fiverr stopped accepting Bitcoin as a payment option. <It might have been about the high transaction fees> 

I hired several graphic designers for Banners for a project that I had back then and I paid them all with bitcoins. They did excellent work and I got a good return for my money on those projects. 

[Jating]

I guess the problem is that companies (1) are not really aware what bitcoin is that's why they're not offering it a means of payment, or (2) they know it, but freelancers doesn't want to accept bitcoin because of it's volatility.

I remember when I used to work at odesk, me and the company I work decided to go to pay using paypal back then. They offered me this option maybe they don't want to pay the percentage to odesk or something, but I don't know that reason. So it's possible that it can be setup, bitcoin as means of payment, that is if both parties agreed.

I have been a freelancer for a long time and I am pretty good with my own work. In my opinion, the world has to open francers and communities so that freelancers can develop and advance their work and the businesses they create.

As we know, until now bitcoin is still constrained by various matters, especially those coming from the government because of its value which is considered too volatile.  Until now, we all cannot break this assumption because this's very real. In fact it's unfortunate if the government can only assume that something volatile's a mistake, and should the government can help improve what's lacking or other errors that exist in bitcoin because until now its existence gives more meaning to the lives of the wider community.

If only if the government would look for such opportunity and not just full of negative assumptions as it always happen. Authorities are greatly tied up for big companies as their big sources  of money, taxes unlike of crypto. We can only receive their supports if we all agreed of being taxed as mandated with them. And maybe, they'll turn up their heads towards crypto contribution to the people's life.

[izanagi narukami]

It's not great choice to forcing freelancer to get paid with crypto.
They must decide on their ownself !

So in the end, it will go natural so the value will bring significant amount of positive vibes !

Now a freelancer has the opportunity to get an attractive job. a freelancer is indeed required to be able to get the best opportunities. With the existence of digital currencies and bitcoin in particular, now everything is much easier, the more opportunities to earn income. the era has changed to digital and this is the time to get the best possible profit.

Gig economy and freelancing reach an unexpected growth last year, and this trend is started since the process of hiring someone for a short-term job has been digitalized. With the help of blockchain technology and Bitcoin, the gig economy and freelancing industry can reach billion people around the word and hopefully solve our time and money imbalance.

Bitcoin is one of the most blessing things for the world wide freelancers. Client hires freelancers to using cryptocurrency because this is reliable payment method for both of i think. They avoid ridiculous fee from which platform.

Indeed this adds new to the list of jobs that people can afford to do. can reduce the level of unemployment that exists today and is very beneficial for participants who are really active in cryptocurrency

They can do it even outside crypto, many big companies will hire freelancer just to help promoting their project. Isn't really new job as it already established years ago when internet started.  It somehow in the present years, there us a huge demand of freelancer and totally a big help for jobless and even for the housewives who stayed at their house only.

[SIDDHI777]

Paying for Freelancers using Bitcoin is a great and effective method because it eliminates any barrier that might occur when paying via fiat currency because Bitcoin is build to provide so many benefits for users who do international transactions on line which might make benefit for both freelancers and personals who hire them to do work and it can definitely help the global jobless problem and provide more opportunities to skillful people
