I think buyers of content on the Permies Digital Market pay with PayPal, but then Permies.com processes that payment and disburses payment to the seller.  Can Permies.com disburse payment to sellers in Bitcoin?  I know now might not be a great time to get paid in Bitcoin with it being at its highest value ever hitting $48,000 USD today, but it might be a great time for doing the paying in Bitcoin!

I would like to figure out a way to receive bitcoin.  

But, yes, as is, right now, I can pay out for the digital market in bitcoin.

Oh, nice!  This feature already exists and I just hadn't noticed.  For others looking for this feature, go to My Stuff > My Earning Profile (left hand side) > Payment method and rather than entering your PayPal registered email address enter your bitcoin wallet receive address.

On the subject of crypto permies.com is not signed up for receiving (nananahnah) BAT token. Which you can earn using the brave browser, I can currently send you a whole 3 BAT tokens for your efforts which is currently worth $1.17. Don't spend it all at once!

Looks like you can do it here.

Also you can trade BAT token on Binance so its not just a hypothetical pie in the sky value.

Its says not yet verified still, but I sent 1 BAT anyway and set it as recurring too so you should get something when it goes through. When its sorted I will manually send you the rest.

Seems to be working, so hopefully you have some BAT now. I would like to think there would be enough people willing to do this so we could eliminate your server costs!

This is a cool idea - but I wonder how well Bitcoin (specifically) fits in with the values of the community, what with it's intensive energy consumption. I don't mean to bring down the party, but there are plenty of other more sustainable coins to play with. There's even a "regenerative currency" coin called Seeds which might fit better. Although it's not as valuable as BTC it may be a viable option. The team at SEEDS is also open to working with organizations, and there could be some collaboration opportunities here as well!

I've got a contact of one of the peeps behind it, so let me know if you want to connect with them.

 
It's just like a fortune cookie, but instead of a cookie, it's pie. And we'll call it ... tiny ad:
