8 sats \ 4 replies \ @cointastical 4 Jan 2022 \ on: Microlancer.io - KYC-free Bitcoin Lightning freelance website for jobs, gigs and microtasks bitcoin
It's like Fiverr but at a 99% discount.
Amazing what some people will do for fifty sats.
It's a mindset of current value vs expected value
For example. If Bitcoin eventually goes 100x, every satoshi will be worth the equivalent of 1 peso in my LatAm country. Moreover, 50 pesos is the daily minimum wage! So, for some people, 50 sats is a days work done in less than 5 minutes.

Or, it is supply and demand. The quantity and quality of freelancing / gig work / task work services where bitcoin can be earned is overall significantly sub-par. There are literally hundreds of millions of potential, qualified individuals with the desire to earn bitcoin using nothing more than their time and talent (which, without capital, is about the only way one can earn bitcoin).
But their options are severely limited:

I wrote that not really knowing what Fiverr was.
Looks like Fiverr is more of a site where people say what service they will provide for $5 (or whatever amt).
I see Microlancer.io has this as well, but the primary mode is where listed are the tasks from "employers".
The link on Microlancer.io for "Services" is like a "Fiverr mode":

But with "supply and demand" being off-kilter (way more demand for paying tasks than supply), Microlancer.io has the default mode correct, at least that's how I would think it should be, for a task work / gig work service.
