I wanted to put together a little regular series about working online remote hours and getting paid in crypto, often daily but without any middlemen, after all for certain subsets of society even having a bank account can be a hassle with a permanent address and with them getting hacked every now and then, crypto has become the mattress to put a little bit away under in some regards, especially for me as I’m not really getting the opportunity to hodl my earnings for any length of time.
THE FUTURE ALREADY ARRIVED FOR REMOTE WORKERS IN THE GIG ECONOMY.
the biggest thing I’m starting to notice from blocking out my time is the fact that I can do blocks of time vs the timing of the work that needs to be done, most of the work right now for my current client is linear in approach which kinda makes it easier to work out how long to work for and what part of the day I can do the work — it’s not like an 8hr day, 9 to 5 where you rise early, do the packing of the sandwiches, commute, work in a cubicle and do water cooler chat, I actually have the opportunity to really hone my working day and then also no wait, if my client pays me same day.
if not stated some of my photos are from unsplash a free site for images, also you can grab some cool images from nomad.pictures a site i run with @dayleeo to get pictures out of the camera roll and onto the web
no middlemen, super minimal charges and near on instant sending and notifications, best of all it’s out there on a blockchain explore so people (services) can fit into the way I work but also what eventually become ‘in time’ services that can be suggestive, for instance, maybe divvying up my transfer funds into different places based on my history of transfers, when I do it, where I am, what I’m into or what I’m planning to do — maybe even an event like a birthday or something I’m going to each year, I love the idea that services could be hyper personal because of that open data silo information in some ways, of course that can have the reverse effect too but I guess that’s where smart contracts come in on different chains.
Right back to digital card slinging! :)
You're on the front line of the work revolution. The nature of jobs will change. I prefer the security of a job, but that may not be available to all in future

if you look at the actual data the job for life is not a reality today for certain generations, also we will be wearing many hats regarding the work that we do, i'm just being super tsuami edge. testing it out.

So cool how things are changing, you guys where the first ones to open my mind to the micro gig thing. I was amazed how you and @dayleeo were chipping away at things while maintaining the ability to be present with the people around you. I think it has huge potential for freedom of personal movement and self sufficiency. And to open up time so you have the ability to be there when needed not when you get off work.

yeah exactly. it's a balancing act but we are getting better at it. what with that and the 'residuals' on the backburner means we can build in downtime as well. takes a lot of work but we are getting there bit by bit each day. lotta hours at the moment. chill down days/weeks coming thou, i can feel it. i know you'll be in that mix soon too ;) x
