Topic: A world of opportunities for freelancers - page 2. (Read 4193 times)
It would ease the payment but nothing major will be change I guess.Freelancing is been there way before bitcoin did companies have no problem paying each individuals as there are many payment processor they can use to distribute salaries worlwide.No hype will follow or some big benefits from each side.
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. 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.
For me bitcoin is just a currency don't treat just like something that is out of the world, In terms of freelancing industry the paypal is just fine as a medium of payment in our freelancer. Bitcoin will be fine also but the problem is there's no dispute 1 click means you lose your funds. I still recommend the paypal in this industry because it is more applicable and just fine what it is today. 
I am a freelancer. I usually get a lot of work on many freelance websites and most of the payments done through cryptocurrencies. This is a great thing when so many people know about Crypto and use it as a currency. My transactions with some friends from other countries all use Crypto as payment, and that proves that Crypto can be used instead of cash.
I had involved with hype investment projects and most of them had the bitcoin payment option. But In freelancer websites, I haven't seen any other payment option except Bank, Payoneer, and PayPal! Bitcoin is too volatile currency, that is the main negative thing of bitcoin. Bitcoin has millions of supporters but it has millions of fudders too, and the reason for the hate is Volatile! Though every freelancer will agree with Bitcoin payment option but I have a big doubt that Fiverr, upwork and any other freelancing marketplace website will not accept the bitcoin payment! If bitcoin goes to high again with a stable price then I believe, Bitcoin will be used in every sector of payment!
Bitcoin is raising a lot of additional opportunities for freelancers. There are a lot of websites that pay you in Btc to perform different tasks.
As a freelancer, to be paid in Btc all you need is a laptop with internet access and a btc wallet. That's all. You can do money from any side of the world.
Those freelance sites are just becoming rampant now as bitcoin is getting more popular and this is one of the problem that we use to have before, receiving payment form some of these sites, but with bitcoin now, I think it is a lot easier and the good thing about receiving those payments in bitcoin is that we could use it as an investment also, you earn it and then leave it in the bitcoin wallet till bitcoin reaches its all-time high, so it is more like getting double profit, you get profit from the freelance job and at the same time also, you get profit from the increase of bitcoin when it goes on bull run.As a freelancer, to be paid in Btc all you need is a laptop with internet access and a btc wallet. That's all. You can do money from any side of the world.
I also learn that some sites do pay in altcoins, but I don’t like the freelance jobs for altcoin because there is not assurance that anything will come out of it.

Bitcoin is very volatile, so if a client purchases a bitcoin at $10k then it suddenly dumps for let's say $9.5k then he would need to pay his freelancer a bigger amount of bitcoin. This will cost him greater amount of money in the long run. And also not all country have an access to purchase a bitcoin. In terms of salary I would still prefer if it's in a fiat value. Both parties will suffer if they choose bitcoin as payment.
actually it has long been done. many companies try to attract freelancers to pay with bitcoin or altcoin. for example, you can see how various crypto companies attract freelancers with bounties, or jobs paid using bitcoin, or other cryptocurrencies. that's all they do to hire freelancers from all over the world to promote what they make. it's just that, for real-world work, I still very rarely see that.
The freelance will always tempt people to try to search the additional job from many websites.
And with the internet, people can find so many available jobs, and they can work using their skills.
Sometimes the income from freelance will bigger than the fixed jobs in real life, so that attract people to try their luck in the freelance section.
I see many people have various skills in each field, and they search for the jobs that match what they want so they can start to work and finish the job at the right time.
And if you have skills, you can make bigger money for one project, especially if you can get more task to do.
No matter what payment system that they will use to pay the freelancers, as long as we can get more money from the job, I think that will be good for us.
We can try to work with one project if we are new in this field so we can familiarize with the system and soon, we can search for more jobs.

Meh. The top freelancing websites don't support Bitcoin at all (Most prefer Paypal, yuck!). And for a freelancer to get hired fast, he must go to sites with most jobs posted and sadly the Bitcoin-related ones have poor listings.
I don't know what the problem is, actually. Fiverr or Upwork can integrate a third party that can convert the dollar wage to BTC for the freelancer.

As discussed in the first page of this thread, Bitcoin's volatile nature somehow deprived other field of opportunities for the technology to grow on a larger scale of businesses and one of these are the opportunities for the freelancers to earn more with the use of Bitcoin from other countries.
Nevertheless, only Bitcoins volatility is the main issue towards embracing the technology.

cryptocurrency as a payment method is still not implemented on the well-known freelance web. It could be because the use of cryptocurrency is still limited in some countries, and besides the price is very volatile so it is quite difficult to determine fixed standards.I don't know what the problem is, actually.

giving the option of exchange for cryptocurrency is a very good idea. it is time for this beneficial change to be applied more broadly.
well, even so, becoming a freelancer is more fun, there are also websites that provide services for freelancers and employers to get what they want by means of blockchain and cryptocurrency, try https://ethlance.com/
I believe that cryptocurrency is already a very good opportunity to pay for all workers who work via the Internet. Perhaps freelancers have long been attracting their employers to use cryptocurrency. But given the fact that if the employer is the developer of a new project that is somehow connected with the cryptocurrency, then it is much easier for him to realize the work of a freelancer using cryptocurrency. But if we are talking about other resources that have nothing to do with the cryptocurrency market, then the situation here is much more complicated. Once I was engaged in the design of automotive-themed sites, and in this particular case I could not receive payment in cryptocurrency, because for the employer this method of payment was too difficult.
Bitcoin can indeed be a very effective means of settlement between clients and freelancers. This is especially true if they live in different countries. Both sides win. A freelancer may receive more payment for his work due to a lower transfer fee in bitcoins.

Now I started thinking bout this also..It would be cool.
That makes sense..

That has really been the challenge that I have been having with most freelance sites that I have wanted to join from some jobs that I feel i can do, I mean the genuine freelance sites because we have some fake freelance that do request for money for you to join.

The issue that I have with PayPal in my country is that we are kind of restricted a little because we cannot accept money but we can send and since I can accept money, there is no way that I will be able to get my pay out. We have some though that I can get amazon gift card, but selling the card too is not an easy task. This bitcoin payment would have just been the main solution to this challenge and I hope that these freelance sites will consider us and start paying in bitcoin so we can join.
i feel you bro's . i also came to that problem because i also wanted to work online or oftenly termed as freenlancer but the guy above is right that most sites dont have btc payment yet and like you i do also have a bad experience with paypal . paypal block my account for no reason during the verifying process which cost me some bucks that i dont get anymore . they sucks so much . and you guys are right that the number of platforms that pays btc for freelancers are still small and often have a limited job . those jobs are also tough to do for common freelancers that have a minimal skill .

bitcoin is gradually being introduced into everyday life (shops, cafes, restaurants, etc.), it will also enter this sphere soon. this will be a great way of reducing joblessness drastically.
I just want there to be a freelancing website where people of all skills can be part of it. Even people with hardly any skills should have at least a few jobs for low pay. As you work more and more you will unlock more tasks and all will be paid in crypto. From easy pdf-text jobs or data captcha to full on auditing or transcription or even programming and marketing. All skills and all stages. There have been many attempts but none that has worked. It would be wonderful if we all had a place to find work no matter what walk of life we are on.
