Freelancing as part of Bitcoin infrastructure

Most of us were here in the early days of Internet, when everybody was excited about new opportunities like email, web, Internet shopping, then later social networks appeared and of course there always was such an independent phenomenon as freelancing too.

 The freelancing itself is outstanding concept. To understand how important freelancing is, just think about regular jobs. The regular jobs are here and still responsible for 99% of employment just because we haven't managed yet how to perform some of jobs remotely. Okay that's maybe from IT prospective, but that's just gives you idea about how outstanding your life could be if every of your employer was a freelance friendly.

 Yes sure, management and stuff is what stopping us to convert every regular job into remote, but if you can do some basic math, you should understand that 50% of our regular jobs is convertible into remote jobs.

 Freelancing is very important for the world right now the same way as it was before Bitcoin creation.

 But now with Bitcoin you can see the way how freelancing could become really global. If you're just regular freelancer you may not know how huge freelance market is right now, just because you don't know the statistics yet and nobody counts how much people involved in such online activities as earning money from convenience of your home. Think about freelance web-sites which you haven't found yet or which you won't visit in your life ever, but such web-sites exists, and moreover - I will show some examples (which could be exception of course, since I can't guarantee that you haven't visited it yet):

• http://www.onehourtranslation.com - the website that specializes on quick translations from almost every possible language. The web-site exist for over than 5 years (as far as I know it, maybe even longer), and offers turnkey efficient service for quick translations for any types of translation. If you have any urgent translations to be done - that's the place to go, just click on the link, submit your text, choose language to be translated in, then web-site will automatically assign you translator which specializes on the subject you've submitted your text. I'm mentioning this web-site since I am myself performed many translations in this service as a part-time job when I was a student. Part of the problem of receiving my hard earned money on this service was the methods which they use to deposit their workers - 5 years ago Bitcoin haven't existed, so I had to receive funds using PayPal intermediaries, which was a very hard and time consuming task which took almost 70% of my energy from overall orders complexity.
• http://workzilla.ru - that is another quick service but you won't see English version of this web-site, because it is Russian one - I liked this service because it offers quick workers for micro-projects, where you need some search to be done on the Internet, or some other quick hand-made job which could be done by unqualified workers over the Internet. It comes really handy when you have some routine things to get done.

Ok, stop. For most of you mentioning only this 2 services will be enough to make you clue on how much web-sites there is on the Earth about freelancing - and each web-site is a community from thousands and thousands permanent customers and thousands and hundred thousands of workers who perform those jobs.

If you will try to count how much freelance websites there exist only in United States, you probably won't believe the real numbers, I don't know them, but I can guess that it easily could be thousands of major web-sites with millions of freelance workers just from U.S.

Freelancing isn't that fair. The whole idea that you can find job without escaping your living space is great, but there's no guarantee that there is enough jobs on the Internet for everyone. And demand in such jobs is growing every year, and new growing freelancers who just find themselves in a situation when they need a remote job is growing each year, while online systems aren't yet developed to offer one global solution.

To let you see the whole picture, let me mention another example: the craigslist.org and here in Russia we have such a giant as an avito.ru - these are both great examples which shows how making standardized place for people to meet each other globally is a huge thing. Before craigslist.org and avito.ru - in both countries there was huge amount of small classified web-sites - the same thing is happening right now with freelance. (Of course there is an exemptions such as freelancer.com - which probably would be industry leader soon just because of its size)

Why freelance platforms haven't grown yet to the same level craigslist.org and avito did? I believe there is a few borders and reasons - 1st off - nobody tried to do it correctly yet: those huge markets are very important, and still nobody tried to offer such a platform which will help to find you freelancers from the whole world to make your logo for your web-site, even though such an idea makes sense.

Not every freelancer knows English - and that is 2nd factor in my top reasons for why freelance market globalization still haven't happened yet: many freelancers would win if they could participate in projects opened by international members - just imagine that suddenly everybody get an access to worldwide employment market. That is a breakthrough!

And 3rd factor is the fact that payment system haven't been introduced yet which efficiently would let all of those people to send this money to each other, and also there is a demand for such a reliable escrow system which will allow everybody to trust each other in terms of delivered money and services performed over the net. That's where Bitcoin comes to scene.

I am myself would sacrifice significant amount of my personal time to create such a wonderful global project which could help create the most popular united worldwide freelance board which will let everybody to find freelancers and jobs in the one place, globally without necessity to search another freelance web-site to perform jobs remotely and internationally.
