I have a business idea, of course, you can steal it

Hey stacker, let me put you in context, I have been working as a freelancer for over 10 years, obviously always preferred to be paid in bitcoin for my services.
The fact is that many clients still do not accept btc to this day, which is frustrating for me, trying to live 100% bitcoin.
I don't like intermediaries, but sometimes they can be a great ally. Here's the idea, a platform that receives the shitcoinfiat payment from the client and converts it into BTC to be sent to the freelancer directly.
This way, maybe freelancers loving bitcoin and companies hating it can have a beneficial working relationship 🤷

Disagree. Competition is good. It's a bad idea to rely on only one company

Competition is good
I agree with that. Did I said that exist only one? No. I just pointed out one example.

this. I understand you don't want someone trying to build something because it already exists

Please build a Bitwage alternative without shitcoins - 100% agree with that.

Looking at your guide and bitwage's site @DarthCoin. Do they reuse addresses?

Bitwage sends the btc to the address the user indicate. They DO NOT control those addresses. It is user responsibility to change it anytime he wants.

They're difficult to find in my country as well. For the right person that smells like an opportunity.

What kind of works are you doing? I might need your help and I am more than happy to pay in Bitcoin 😉

I understand you don't want to dox yourself, but it really matters what kind of country you are. There's not one solution that can work for all the world, because it has to deal with local fiat. A solution that could work in Mexico, doesn't work in Guatemala.

Very good idea. You can provide discounts on Bitcoin payments. Since BTC will gain value over time.

So, they will take your freelance earned money deposit, won't they? Also, @oraltosun got a good idea, fiat price for your service and BTC price for your service and show a big discount for BTC, maybe that will help your clients.

I think you read uncorrectly. I don't remember that I said "BIG" discounts. Have I said this? The answeris is no. Please read carefully @JesseJames.

I stand corrected. Just show the diff in the price, different enough to make them switch to BTC (you can calm down now) :-)
