this will be a great way of reducing joblessness drastically
Freelancing has become a race to the bottom with how global the internet is now. People from 1st world countries can't compete with the low prices that foreigners are willing to work for. The dream of freelancing is dead for a lot of peopl.e
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.
The problem is the regulations made by government. Almost all of countries want to collect tax from their citizens, there are still many countries that still prohibit the use of bitcoin. One of microtasking platform called fiverr is cooperating with coinbase to help bitcoiners to buy the service. Actually the service providers of this kind of service have realized the practicality of using bitcoin transaction.
Freelancers are now both good and bad influence on the market, because often their pay is less than that of a stationary employee. But if such a freelancer is engaged in trading there is nothing wrong with it

That would be incredibly convenient. One could receive orders for freelance work from all over the world without worrying that you don't get your salary due to a problem with using Internet services, banks, and etc. Bitcoin transaction takes a negligible part of the time and also with a minimum fee. It is the perfect tool for freelancers and employers.

I completely agree with your opinion, but there is a big problem. Many companies remain conservatives and are reluctant to use alternative payment methods like crypto. They continue to look for freelancers willing to work for the national currency or, in rare cases, for the US dollar. Do you have any solution?
No doubt if employer and freelancers both agree Bitcoin may a popular method for remuneration for the work done.
This is both convenient for employer and employee, and when crypto will become more popular as a payment method, it will also help for the freelancing world to grow.When I was still new in the online world, I wasn't so interested as in some freelance job, it normally requires a verified paypal to receive the payment and needs to open a bank account to have your money in your bank account, this method is quite complicated compared to just making an online wallet or even an exchange wallet where you can make even without a KYC, hopefully this kind of improvement will happen in the future.

No doubt if employer and freelancers both agree Bitcoin may a popular method for remuneration for the work done. Traditional methods like Paypal is still widely used but if we talk about transferring money abroad through Paypal, it is much costly. A freelancer does not want to give high transaction free out of his labour. On the other hand Bitcoin is very volatile in nature so fix remuneration in BTC from employer may not be much rewarding in bear market, if an employer change the amount of remuneration with the increasing and decreasing value of BTC, it may be widely accepted payment method for freelancing work.
I agree. Both party have to agree on the way of payment they have to used. Paypal is used for long because it holds different currency wherever in the country but have fix value unlike in bitcoin, though transaction might lower than other, the price is volatile. It is good way to use in transferring the salary because more safe and faster. Maybe it could be more convenient when freelancers employers adapt this way. 
Freelancers already work all over the world and use different types of electronic money as payment.Just in addition, now you can choose to pay in cryptocurrency.It's both convenient and cool.In General, freelancing is cool!Many people talk about paying taxes on cryptocurrencies,but no one talks about paying taxes by freelancers.I'm sure the tax authorities will get to them soon.
Freelance does not only work in 1 place, but in many places. thus allowing you to generate unlimited income. the presence of crypto makes freelance job choices even more diverse. and it's certainly very useful for us, now freelance is favorite job for many people.
Besides that, I see that many freelances have a better income because they can get so many jobs from anywhere. Many freelances can get success from the internet, but they have to compete with the other freelance and only freelancer who have experience and skills that will get better income than the others. But if you can hard work and you can improve your skills, then it is possible to get a better income too because, in freelance, we need to improve the skills from time to time.
We need to compete with them, but if we have a high-skills on one field, I think they will search for us to help them. That happened with my friend who has a high-skills in web design and security, and he always gets a client who wants to use his skills to design a new website or maintain the site.
Before my friend knows cryptocurrency, he uses Paypal for the transaction but then I introduce cryptocurrency, and he is interested in using it. And now, every time he makes a deal with his client, he always offers to them to use cryptocurrency.
I think this freelance depends on the expertise that is owned and as much as possible to be able to have special expertise or can do everything that can be done online, one of which is editing the logo, making websites and others, if you have a lot of expertise then you can use it because lots of opportunities to be able to get money in the world of freelance.
Yes definitely if it’s happen then easily anyone can receivedtheir paymen, but which country not accept bitcoin and not have any bitcojn exchangers it’s will not good payment gateway for them. but i always support this kind of payment gayway system which can easily send everywhrre without any decentralizatio!
I worked as a freelancer for cryptocurrency, it’s very convenient, especially when your customers from other countries do not need to draw up any papers.

As compared to what's already there..Paypal etc BTC is quite volatile and this means that in most cases the freelancer gets less than what was initially quoted and agreed on. Also in most countries, it is difficult to change BTC back to fiat if not illegal, remember countries like India are said to be crafting laws that will make trading in crypto punishable by death. Its also sad that such countries where the use of crypto is not encouraged by the establishment are homes to the biggest numbers of freelancers.
For now I do not think BTC is the answer to the Gig Economy until maybe a more stable crytocurrency is introduced.
It's really a good option to add bitcoin and other cryptocurrency as a payment method for freelancer who especially targets to work with international companies. I know a lot of freelancers are still doubting and skeptic about crypto but it can really bring convenience to them. But there are also crypto users who also works and accept bitcoin as a payment. It would be good if freelancers are open to learn crypto, though it's still a matter of choice if they would consider it. But hopefully, they'll try to study and learn about it.
This is a good way to use crypto but the problem you describe is not that big of a deal in the world scale.
Europe doe snot need it, they mostly use Euro and they dont have problems with other currencies.
USA, Russia and other big players are fine with USD so there is not that much of a need to use crypto in this case.

Fiverr do pays in other currencies however it is all the expertise potential who always gains demands and the dedicated professional will always have a chance to gain orders from clients and our skill is more enough to get the payment done by any means we demand because the quality in service highly matters in the real world.
I definitely think it has potential for freelancers especially those who even want to work in blockchain. There are so many opportunities in the space and once cryptocurrencies can be used for payment without the volitility then this would be great for freelancers all over the world.
Freelancing has been trending worldwide already and Bitcoin is only another way of payment for the freelancers. There are many ways to pay freelancers back at the time when Bitcoin is not popular like Paypal if it is from different countries and banks if from the same country. Bitcoin is just another way to pay the freelancers but because of it, there are more freelancers right now.
People have begun to move following their passion, and this has made more people turn to be freelancers leaving the routine jobs. Through Freelancing people make themselves more creative and advanced than sticking to a job that they do regularly. These days payments weren't a big deal. We've got more and more ways to receive and transfer funds. Bitcoin is slowly getting importance as freelance service rendering sites too added bitcoin payment gateway and removed after some time of usage for some reason.
This is why blockchain can't be push aside , it has all it takes to tale over from normal fiat currency as a decentralized currency and no border barrier money which has the most unique way of sending thru to the receiver in some minute and without a govt interfere or bank charges .
