Finally got paid for some work in bitcoin

[bakasabo]

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".

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.

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

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

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.

It feels good to get the first paycheque in Bitcoin, that feeling when your first Satoshi lands in your wallet it gives some relief knowing you can work and get paid in Bitcoin and it doesn't require any paperwork or third-party agent to get your payment.

Lol paycheck? are you serious? there will never be a check because this is crypto and a online transaction lol.

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.

[bitzizzix]

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.

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?

When our work is paid for in Bitcoin, it gives more satisfaction than being paid with fiat.

Why is that? Wouldn't you be already converting your btc to fiat sooner or later?

[Peanutswar]

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.

[Streamixio]

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.
