Bitcoin for payments
 

Do you use bitcoins for work? How common are they in the industry?
Or is everyone just talking about them? :1orglaugh

I can accept any crypto. :) Even doge. :)

Got paid in btc a few times ..

I see :)

I've created purse about year ago and still don't use it just because customers prefers PP in most cases )

Should've asked for BTC payments, that would've been a nice 432.3% bonus (in exactly a year). ;)

I wish all sponsors paid in Bitcoin because when you're paid in USD/cash you have incentive to spend it asap, because everyday you hold you lose purchasing power for your $$$$, while Bitcoin is a savings tech designed to increase with time (and the inevitable inflation)

Interesting question. I've not used BTC yet, but I am willing to accept crypto as a payment method for my writing services if some client would like to pay in BTC or ETH.

Yep )
If not spent for living :winkwink:

I think most of the sponsors will do the crypto payments soon.

So why not to give a shoot?
Just let them know that you're accepting crypto from now.

It will work for sure! :thumbsup

P.S.
Little typo "contacat" in the banner

I only work with Ad Networks that pays with +Bitcoin.
Doing good for +2 years and had no problem.

Do you keep it in your wallet hoping to get revenue or just use for everyday expenses?

Exchange it to get USD and then daily expenses.
I use Bitcoin to get payments only, cuz nothing goes wrong with Bitcoin wallets. other platforms may block your account for some weird reasons.

Yep. Thx for heads up!

Got it! :thumbsup

You're welcome! :winkwink:

its all I use for work at this point. using anything else is kinda of counter productive.

Cool! Great that it works for you! :thumbsup

I did, but not many people are interested. Hopefully, that will change soon.

That will definitely change in the next couple of years. The pandemic contributes a lot to that!

Now waiting for BTC from Chaturbate for 1st time!

In principle, we can also pay in crypto on our adult dating network.

Fingers crossed! :winkwink:

Yep...
Thank you for Crypto expansion, COVID :)

:thumbsup

Affiliates will be happy all the way! :)

I have finally changed my sig because of this thread. ;)

Feel free to contact me if you need written content of any kind.

You are welcome! :thumbsup

I'm getting paid by a couple of programs in BTC. CB and Stripcash. Just collecting it for now, no where to spend it yet.

You always can exchange it to fiat )

It would be a royal pain in the ass for most affiliate programs with significant volume to buy, hold, and send crypto for affiliate payments.

The volatility alone makes it impractical and possibly dangerous.

Do you know what exchange rate are programs using when they pay with BTC? Because each exchange/broker has a different price.

It would be great if they could pay with USDT, which is a stable coin. That way you don't risk getting paid let's say 1000 dollars in BTC and having 700 dollars a few hours later. Yes I know some people will say that we have FIAT mentality but it is what it is.

I'm using more and more, today i paid for hosting and domain reg in bitcoin (porkbun)...

All payment options have positive/negatives, leave it to each affiliate to choose what is best for ourselves.

Some see a savings technology as danger, others (me) see it as highly profitable & VERY convenient.

Remember, lots of us have lost with Epassport, Paxum & Payoneer account closures, foreign check fees, wire fees, & delays from all of these.

I've been paying out in Bitcoin lately to the people that asks. So far so good.

And I was able to find a merchant solution for crypto payments the other day. Will be adding that to our premium programs.

Crypto just scares me some because of the regulations that will be coming in the future and knowing so little about this info showing up on blockchain and what the government is doing with that.

The "stablecoins" might be more suitable if you are concerned with volatility.

BTC is not ideal because there's a public record of every transfer ever made that the entire world can freely see and the BTC network itself can only process so many transactions per block. The only way to scale it is increase compute capacity, which with bitcoin is an insane amount of electricity and servers already.

What merchants are there for creating crypto processing integrations right now?

BTC isn't going anywhere. The crypto that many governments have issue with are the ones that have anonymity built into their protocols like Monero. They cite money laundering as the reasons why. Other coins with public ledgers that aren't just the creators trying to fundraise a bunch of money and pocket it are fine.

Cardano (ADA) is even being talked about as an alternative in Africa where the currencies are too volatile. They are thinking about even using it as the official government currency.
