Bitcoin - A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System
r/btc
Hey everyone, I hope I'm allowed to post this.
I'm a music producer/graphic designer and make my living through selling instrumentals/beats/designs to artists via my online store. Unfortunately, because of the store's limitations, the only way I can accept funds is through PayPal.
This was never an issue before because if I get a sale today, I withdraw the PayPal USD through a local bank in my country (South Africa) and I have access to my local fiat currency within 3 days. Well, my local bank who is the only bank to partner with PayPal here had massive system failures over the past 2 weeks which caused my fund to be 'held hostage' and they wouldn't take any accountability. It was terrible, I couldn't pay my bills or buy food but I eventually got my money 2 days ago.
I posted about this frustration here on Reddit and a very generous, kind human tipped like $10 in protest of PayPal through a bot called u/chaintip which makes use of BCH. Another kind human tipped me $2 as well. I was super skeptical about it but when I sent my receiving address, I had the funds in seconds.
I then sent it to a local wallet with little to no fees and I literally have access to use the funds locally in my country within HOURS. As you can imagine this is mind blowing to me because I don't know much about crypto but once someone paid me in bitcoin - took forever, and the fees were gross, so I never tried again.
All of this got me thinking and wondering if there are any job boards/websites or subreddits I can look at in future to find freelance graphic design and/or music work.
Graphic design work = branding, logos, website design
Music work = making beats, instrumentals, jingles, ghost writing, etc.
