The Hair-Raising Feeling of Sending a Crypto Payment

For companies in the blockchain/crypto industry, it’s a constant challenge to pay team members in cryptocurrency. Every month, developers, marketers, and other freelancers submit timesheets along with their wallet addresses and the currency they wish to receive (we’ve found Ethereum to be the most common). This is especially true for companies that have ICO’ed and have a global workforce where it’s impractical to pay in a single fiat currency.

The main problem they face is keeping track of wallet addresses and conversion rates, which leads to fear about sending potentially large payments to the wrong place. Today, their best option is to maintain a spreadsheet with all of the details, but of course, manual input is prone to error and takes up too much time.

With the crypto industry growing larger each day, and with a global workforce becoming more and more connected, the problem will only get worse over time.

If only there was an easier way to manage invoices and payments to be paid in cryptocurrency, companies would have a much better experience with paying in crypto, ultimately leading to greater adoption of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum in the workplace.

With thousands of companies now entering the blockchain and cryptocurrency space, there is a clear opportunity to meaningfully impact a huge number of people and usher in a new era of cryptocurrency adoption.
