Online freelancing is a booming area of growth in the economy. So too are technologies around Bitcoin, the new digital cash for the internet. Below are five great reasons why you should freelance online using Rein.

Rein uses Bitcoin and that allows it to leverage all of the benefits of this new digital cash. Borderless, permissionless, and central bankerless. Low fees. In contrast with platforms that routinely take 10–20% or more of a the total value of a job, the only fees in Rein are those to pay miners on the Bitcoin network (roughly a few dollars worth of BTC per job) and 1–2% to the mediator. Client pays the fees. The low fees described above are paid entirely by the client so if your bid is accepted, that’s how much you take home when the job is done. First mover advantage. There are only a handful of people on Rein and you’ll generate a new identity when you join. This is a good time to establish a good reputation and build a tidy business. Low risk. Funds are locked in Bitcoin’s multisig and cannot be stolen or withheld unreasonably by the client. If the client disappears after you’ve completed the work, the mediator can authorize payment.
