Using sites like Microlancer is an easy way to earn someone his first few Satoshis without having to go through all the regulatory nonsense involved in trading bank money for bitcoin.
You can experience the simplicity of it all without having to “rotate your head while taking a selfie holding up your government ID card next to your face”.
“At the core, it’s all about privacy and peer-to-peer interaction, censorship resistance and above all, freedom. All the other systems rely on fiat currency and are trying to undo those principles.”
Tim aims to represent those ideas in Microlancer, [...] Already he has created a site that is worldwide without a single connection to the banking system yet people from anywhere can post jobs and make an instant payment to the taskers who do them.
