hokageart Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I feel crypto currency should be inducted in the fiverr withdrawal methods as it’s been accept by most of the countries now, and some countries (third world countries) don’t have paypal, payoneer and then they use third parties to withdraw there funds and still get charged on it. Won’t this be a better way to just withdraw it straight to your wallet? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattboa Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I believe that when bitcoin goes up, a platform like Fiverr that does not allow payment via bitcoin will see a decrease in their revenues. Would it cost much to implement a payment method accepting bitcoin on Fiverr?ThoughtsCryptocurrencies aren’t mainstream or accessible enough yet. Heck, it’s been over a decade of Bitcoin so far and most of the world won’t even be able to have it in their PayPal balance by the end of 2021. It’s the e-ink of finance.I doubt that there’s even been a single person among the millions of buyers in the last year who have also thought “damn, I would’ve really bought this 20$ gig if I could’ve used my crypto wallet”.Not a priority at the moment.Would it cost much to implement a payment method accepting bitcoin on Fiverr?IMO, yes. I can only see Fiverr spending some of their budget to get the right people and technology on board far from now. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a lot cheaper to just pay by PayPal or Stripe.“damn, I would’ve really bought this 20$ gig if I could’ve used my crypto walletExactly. And, as you say, eventually people can just put their Bitcoin or whatever into their PayPal and then pay with PayPal if it’s that important to them. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnovan86 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I am pretty sure they will not accept crypto for many reasons. The main one is Crypto is highly volatile. Valve for example accepted crypto for a while, then they removed it because it was super volatile. So I can’t see them accepting it here. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looseink Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 That’s an interesting thought.I just received my first payment in a cryptocurrency this morning at a non-Fiverr platform I’ve been on for years.I was just thinking that it would be cool if Fiverr were to do the same.Since it is a publicly traded company, why not create a Fiverr cryptocurrency that could only be used here by Buyers for Sellers?It could be a good idea and, has already been noted, would likely clamp down on fraud. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattboa Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 People have been asking about this for 3+ years on here it seems, but nothing ever materialised. I said this recently elsewhere:Cryptocurrencies aren’t mainstream or accessible enough yet. Heck, it’s been over a decade of Bitcoin so far and most of the world won’t even be able to have it in their PayPal balance by the end of 2021. It’s the e-ink of finance.I doubt that there’s even been a single person among the millions of buyers in the last year who have also thought “damn, I would’ve really bought this 20$ gig if I could’ve used my crypto wallet”.Not a priority at the moment.Make payments via Bitcoin on Fiverr?Would it cost much to implement a payment method accepting bitcoin on Fiverr?IMO, yes. I can only see Fiverr spending some of their budget to get the right people and technology on board far from now.The only way it can happen soon is if PayPal, which Fiverr is partnered with, does something to alleviate the expense load. Otherwise it’s going to take time or take off very slowly. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melrhyinst Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 This, there should be a choice.Yes of course just like when you change your currencies from dollar to euro or pounds or other currencies they should all be crypto added as choice 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a company that wants profits now. They don’t sit on their money for years, they have staff, investments they make, they just announced they bought a new business today. So, they don’t sit on Bitcoin to see if their investments are good or not. Plus, it would be a financial mess for them to include this and then see their money devalue, then increase in price and so on within just a few days.That’s why most large businesses don’t support bitcoin. Amazon doesn’t, Fiverr doesn’t, and I can share many others SO… 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
