Do any of you, especially freelancers, get paid in bitcoin? How do you set that up so it’s easy for clients to pay and for you to get paid? How do you convince clients to pay that way?

Your average client wont think of pay you that way, either paypal or you could use payoneer assuming you are doing it directly and not using a freelancer platform.

Thanks. When I invoice I give links to several electronic payment methods. I was thinking of adding a bitcoin method and offering a small discount as an incentive if they pay me that way. Sounds like it’d be easier to take a chunk of a PayPal transaction and transfer that instead.

Besides, Bitcoin is traceable. And you definitely don't want to lose some future customer just because they've seen a payment coming from one of their competitors, do you?

@endor I don’t have much crossover in terms of working for a customer’s competitor. I can see your point, but all my customers are so clueless about technology that BitCoin’s inner workings is akin to quantum mechanics. I figure they’d have a hard enough time with my assistance setting up a BC wallet and putting money in it, let alone looking through the transactions for competitors.

@stackodev well, in that case you've already answered your question: much simpler to just buy BTC yourself when they pay you through other methods.
If anything, you could still set up your system for accepting BTC, and show it off to your customers when they pay you - some might actually get interested and request it as a feature, maybe?
