I think convenience is what most people who are running to work as a freelancer crave. After the lockdown of covid-19, many people came to realize the convenience of working remotely, working at their own convenience without any boss stressing them out is something some people are not ready to give up.
Most especially in an advanced country like the united state where people's time is very valuable, am not surprised to see the high percentage.
Working without a boss or boss who often makes orders for his employees is a very amazing and extraordinary thing as long as the income is very good and enough to make savings after being used in life. But the question is whether everyone is able to work like that? I do not think so. Because some people still have to depend on the company so they still continue to work continuously in companies that have superiors or bosses.

And that is really our point; we are going to school to get a decent job, so it means we are really looking forward to having a boss that will order us to do this and that. To be a businessman is not taught in school; we need to learn it for ourselves. It is very fulfilling to become a boss and run your own business because you will be the only one making orders (positive thought), and if the business is successful, you will be able to live your life to the fullest. 
When you are a hustler - you have to take all the pains and you don't have anyone to support you
Being a hustler is not an easy task.
on the other hand if you don't have supportive family

Being a freelancer has its perks but at the same time it has many inconveniences as well, while some complain about going to the office, the truth is that you are being offered an environment that is well suited for your productivity.

While working from home can be a pain, especially if you do not have an additional room you can use as your office to work or you lack the necessary tools or furniture, after all a good office chair can cost a few hundreds of dollars and you get one for free at the office, while you have to buy one on your own if you work from your house, and this is an expense you cannot avoid as office chairs have been specifically designed to be comfortable to use for long periods of time.

everything has a merit and demerit.
Home is a great place to work if you don't have kids at home. Otherwise they are the distraction. And If there are so many people living at home and they are noisy. Then after sometime you will be cranky when you are unable to concentrate on your work.
In other places yes but in this forum nah, we only have merits here xd. Home is a great place to work depending on the nature of job. It also depends on your situation. If you have lots of kids then it will be hard to concentrate. Nice to know that cryptos aren't only invented to for the people to have a freedom in terms of financial but it literally can gave them a freedom in terms of jobs because there are so many opportunities here and it can be done remotely.

We can also be our own boss if we do crypto trading and investing. Those who aren't into techy stuffs and crypto, might still want to continue working traditionally. Well, that's their choice. There's no problem with that.

Eloncoin.org - Mars, here we come!
Some of the freelancers prefer to get paid in cryptocurrency but if we ask how many freelancers working related to cryptocurrency field then almost everyone who is in the cryptocurrency work as freelancer still the numbers won't be that big compared to the number of freelancer overall

I do love the concept of freelancing and we have reasons to love it more than traditional jobs but it can work good as side hustle not the primary because it doesn't guarantee any minimum income for a week or month, you work and get paid so there is no paid holidays and other benefits like insurance, pension, allowance,etc.

Not Your Keys, Not Your Bitcoin
As much as I enjoy freelancing because it allows me to be independent of a boss or organization, I am concerned about the medium through which freelancers find work. So far, there have been countless cases of review manipulation, favoritism, cheating, and platform inaccuracy.

I spent a lot of time on Fever and Upwork, trying to be among the top writers, but it appears that the way they operate in their system is not for me, you have to do the above I mentioned or you won't see a single gig to showcase your talent, so I got fed up and left. I later had some conversations with some of the guys who were doing some digital marketing work on the platforms, and I changed my mind about freelancing after that because of the manipulations.

The story has changed thanks to crypto today, I'm not where I want to be yet, but I'll get there without any organization or boss telling me what to do and how to do it.

It is really sad to hear this that he can improve himself but again some people want to stay in their comfort zone but always think that they haven't taken the risk because of you or their family once he takes the risk to venture into a business it has the possibility that hasn't got any income for a couple of months, so I am sure that it is still a good choice since he always thinks of his family than trying to improve himself and didn't take the risk. Since now you have a business continue it so that your grandchildren can inherit it in the future
Taking risks can indeed be a good thing but in this case I agree with what you say.
We cannot take risks that are too extreme when we have family dependents because in any case when we take a risk it means that there are two possibilities, namely success or failure. and of course the failure ratio will be much greater when we get out of our comfort zone so rather than making a decision if indeed we are not too brave about it then it would be very good if we hold back our ambitions for it even though we as humans if we want to change our lives we must always try anyway it won't be very good when betting the whole.

But working for home is the biggest challenge I have ever faced in my entire career
Now I am doing side hustle and I am not happy at all.

The boring thing is to be in the office, I also feel bored and always want to go out, but because there is no other income so I have to be patient, I hope some of the assets that I bought cheaply such as Doge, Luna, and of course Bitcoin can immediately skyrocket so that can get a big profit and I use it for business in business and I can manage the time I like.

I can understand you when you say you feel bored when you’re in the office. I think that can be looked at cause employee satisfaction and happiness on the job is proven to improve job productivity. I know how boring it can get in the office and with the almost daily routine followed, it can get boring.
That’s why skills are encouraged as if you had had a skill, you would have then found another employment or a side hustle as the OP eloquently put it.
I honestly don’t see Doge going anywhere but who knows….

Many people feel ambitious to get out of the office with the hope of becoming entrepreneurs, when they start they encounter obstacles that make their plans fail and they regret that they were too hasty to leave without proper preparation. be aware of the many invitations or promises of success as employers or investors that make us regret that finding a job is also a difficult thing.
This kind of mindset will fail you. I also noticed this before but not nowadays since they already knew how to play safe. They will tend to resign immediately without any backup plans if their start-up business fails. We should set up plans if we are planning to get into business since we know it would be a difficult journey, but if it is successful, then it would greatly help us financially. I know all of us are eager to jump into business, but let's prepare. If we fail, we still have plans, so we don't go homeless. If ever we will go in into something
My father was just the opposite, he worked at the same job for over 30 years and then he was fired after the 2008 crisis, it is obvious that my father should have listened to your father. He had all the chances to start his own business, after 30+ years in any business you grow enough network and friends to make insane amount of money if you worked for yourself, he could have made 10x more than what he did as a worker, but he was always afraid and just took the salary instead.

He retired as a not so rich person, I have made more money than him already and I have bought more things like a house and a car quicker than him, which shows you that taking a risk means my father never lived in poverty, I did, but my father never saw the highs neither, I have.

Some companies are still not ready for the development of technological advances, so they still use the old way of running the company, employees are the lifeblood of the company, without them the company's system will never work. If I'm not mistaken in Japan Robots have replaced many human jobs, they are programmed to assume human responsibilities at work and companies can reduce the burden of salaries and benefits.

Technological development is not impossible, many countries in the future will start using robots at work, so that it will be increasingly difficult for humans to get decent jobs. Therefore, several speculations regarding new challenges continue to emerge and be developed.

Or maybe this is a normal option? Why should we be hired for a permanent job, and be in a sense a hostage of the employer? Today he pays you, tomorrow he can say that "the situation has changed, now there will be 50% of the agreements." Or - I laid off some of the staff, now you will still do the work for the laid-off? With outsourcing, you are almost on equal terms with the employer, you have a common interest in the result ...
Earlier i was so desperate to go to office. But since the time I have started working from home. i think I focus more on work
Otherwise in office we use to work less and gossip more and sometime during stress hour we have to tell other to please keep quiet for sometime

Back in 2005, while working in one company, the CIO suggested that most of the IT specialists not be kept in the office, but work remotely. The HR director was hysterical, talking about corporate values, principles and other nonsense. I pointed out that keeping 10 developers and 4 system administrators in the office is expensive and makes no sense, plus people will be additionally motivated and will not waste 2-3 hours a day stupidly on the road. A set of KPIs was written that allow me to evaluate the quality of work of my subordinates, they approved it and started working. It turned out that the corporate culture did not collapse, values did not disappear Smiley

In fact, the need for work such as "being in the office" of the existing staff of an average company, for example, a manufacturing company, is no more than 50% and maybe less. In reality, only those specialists whose physical presence is necessary should be "in the office". Why overpay for renting space, providing jobs? Calculate how much the total cost of 1 workplace in the office will cost you? From rent, to electricity and tea, coffee, cookies in the recreation area... What are these REGULAR costs?

But this is a slightly different side of the coin - they are still employees.
Now in my company, among the IT staff - 6 people are freely hired, free specialists, outsourcers. In general, I don’t see any problems - plus there is no need for personnel accounting, an extra burden on the personnel department, bu

In modern times, people dont depend on a sole job to meet there ends needs no more. You don't get to have or work just one job through the whole time as inflation rocks our world and a sole job isn't going to give anyone the life they desire. This creates the need for side hustles and having multiple streams of incomes.

Side hustle becomes, that job that is expendable, that you do in other to support your actual job.
When a side hustle gains more attention than your actual job, it ain't a side hustle no more. Your actual job becomes the side hustle.

Is hard for one to be tech savvy and not have a side hustle these days. I think it's good and helps hence, most individuals should pick interest.

Yeah, lots of people have dreams of having a start up or ambitious people would quit their jobs working for someone else to venture out into doing business for themselves. Most of these folks find out the hard way when they encounter some little hiccups that it is never easy to start up and manage a business with lots of bigger and better competition that is bound to be there. There are always some certain level of risks involved when having a start up and there is always the issue of the capital.
I've been monitoring some startup community and I can really see how people there are thriving hard. Some gets their own taste of success but many are getting their own dose of their failures.

But what I've seen with these people for both ends, they're not just as ambitious people but they're problem solvers. They've seen a need for a helping hand so they create solutions.

And many of them just hire contractors if ever they need some help for specific things, mostly for programming tasks and needs.

We do have different decisions been made in our lives which it would really be just that normal  that there would be some missed opportunities just because we are afraid on taking up the risk and this is the reason why

we could really make out some comparison.Thing here is that you shouldn't really blame out your father on the decision that he made up, considering that he had able to raise you up and makes you on what you are now.

It is really just there are things in life which arent meant for us, also it doesnt really give out guarantee or assurance that on the time you do make out investments
you would really be that successful which means failure is still next in line and this is where your father trying out to avoid.
