I don’t have the time to create these companies, but I believe that each of these ideas could be taken by some industrious Bitcoiners that want to stack some major sats and provide a serious service to the Bitcoin community as a whole. Below are some of those ideas.
- Fiverr type service (Bitcoin instead of fiat)
This would be a marketplace of freelancers and those in need of services. Bitcoin Fiverr would offer services like graphic design, web design, software development, voice recording, illustration, etc. for an agreed upon price. Sats go in escrow until job is completed in a 2 of 2 setup.
- Merch on demand for designers (Bitcoin instead of fiat)
This would function like Amazon Merch, Redbubble, Printful, and others. Only difference would be that this service would receive sats instead of fiat.
- Craigslist type marketplace (Bitcoin instead of fiat)
Think a local marketplace where buyers and sellers can transact over Bitcoin but in local marketplaces.
- Bitcoin financial planners
There’s a surprising number of Boomers getting close to the time of retirement. They are interested in Bitcoin but can’t figure out the technical side of it. They might be tempted to use a centralized exchange because they don’t know any better way. However, they would entrust their fiat to you for trade of Bitcoin even with a percentage commission.
- Bitcoin endowments
Endowments are used throughout education and many other areas of the non-profit world. This service could purchase Bitcoin as an asset and watch it grow in value. Bitcoin in profit would be used to help fund the organizations it works for.
- Fitness coaching paid by Bitcoin
Fitness coaching, nutrition planning, and exercise planning could all be paid in Bitcoin. An industrious Bitcoiner could make an income via Bitcoin through this type of arrangement.
