Discussion on: Why I Gave Up Freelancing to Become an Employee 😱

Just recently I've joined a new freelancing network based on really interesting concepts.

It's an open network owned by its founders, investors and freelancers themselves by issuing their own tokens. The network only takes 10% fee on top of your rate to cover its expenses and they want to give away all profit. The value of the network will be determined just by the token. They also want to hand it over to community so in the future freelancers will be resposible for vetting new applicants and they will be rewarded by the tokens.

This network was founded by a guy from San Francisco who has already sold two companies and his third one is heading towards IPO. He's also been an investor focusing on blockchain technologies and this is his first attempt to create a blockchain-based marketplace. He plans to open other marketplaces in different areas in the future.

There are not so many jobs available on the network at the moment so I wouldn't rely on it as the only source of income. But I think it has really promising future ahead. Right now, it's in private beta phase but you can register using my link: app.usebraintrust.com/r/tomas1/
