Whole life insurance isn't a sin

Throw away for obvious reasons to come.

Lots of people here like to ream the whole life insurance policy. They make it sound like you are a boon if you even consider it. But with everything here, it is a personal choice. I'm just being a voice for those who might consider it. I'm also writing this to get your constructive feed back on our (my husband and I's) perspective. If you are just going to shit post, go somewhere else.

Background: My husband and I live in Silicon Valley with one FANNG income. I stay at home with our two toddlers. I quit college with just an AA to follow him and my dreams. We are three years out of college and have always been financially aware/conscious. Originally I was against all forms of life insurance, including term. I wanted to self insure and as a math major with 122 hours behind my degree (I switched 3 times and had about 18 hours left of hard classes to go) I was able to do the math and run some cost analysis. From purely a numbers perspective it didn't make sense.

We were gifted our first term policies on our wedding day. My husband's brother worked for everybody's most hated firm. Yep those guys. Anyway, he bought us each something like $200k term and agreed to pay for it for about 18 months. Sweet deal. Within this time frame our first child was born. We learned what it was like to pull in a huge salary. Then the fight happened.

It was time for us to take over the policy. Issue number one I had was that the policy rep was in fact our brother. I will never mix finances and family together like that. So we agreed to use a different agent. No biggy, and brother understood. Then, we had to iron out if in fact we wanted to keep both policies. There was no reason to keep the policy on me, or so I thought. My husband wanted to keep it, because if I were to die while taking care of our son, he would want to take a considerable amount of time off work and reevaluate life in general plus make new accommodations. All while not eating into our NW.

But how does this apply to whole life? Well, once we started to dig into the insurance realm and talk to a different adviser to see what our options are (always a good idea to get the most information possible) we were introduced to the idea of whole life. My head just started to scream. This was a worse option! But wait, there's more.

Let's take a step back and evaluate the situation we are in. My husband works, I keep the house and raise the children. While I am a more than competent young lass, my passion is my family/children. It was never in our minds that I would ever have to earn a dollar to survive. Our plan is to be FIRE by 35-40ish. So, if possible, in the unlikely event that my husband dies, why would we want anything else for our family? Child number two was well on the way during the switch over. So for the security we decided we wanted, we needed a finical vessel to accomplish our goals. For the amount of money we are talking term policies are just ridiculous.

The Case for Whole Life: It gives you options. With term if you want out, you basically loose all of your money and it expires when you turn 80. It's gone. But with Whole Life you have cash value. No it's not what you paid in, but if done correctly is significantly more than 50% of your premiums. This is not always the case. You have to fund your policy higher than the minimums. In fact, we fund the policy to the legal limit. Whole life is tax free growth. FASFA numbers are not effected by your cash value in a life insurance policy (I doubt this will matter for our kids, but you never know). We are also guaranteed* (but not legally binding) a dividend that historically has been at 4% or better. It diversifies your portfolio, and while may cost you a bit more, gives you a service. You can never lose your money, once it's in the cash value it stays, even in a bear market. We no longer make decisions on where is the safest place to put our in case of death money. We no longer stress about what ifs. It relieves the VTSAX verses bond tenting verses bitcoin debate.

The cost: Sure, if we invested the money ourselves, we could potentially have a higher NW. We spend about 1% of our gross salary in unrecoverable "fees" to have the insurance. Our standard of living is well below our means to front load this account. We will pay a premium for 10 years, and then never again. We have our adviser check in with us once a year.

Edit: Some math done in the comments that compares the same amount of term to whole life. Probably should have included this in the original post. The policy on my SO is for 2.5mm, our FI number. It is as high as it is because if he dies tomorrow, he wants the kids and myself taken care of (we can't use the 4% rule when I expect to live another 75+ years) so that would be a yearly withdraw around 75k, assuming no large costs for university. A term life policy on him for 2.5mm would run around $800, which is only about $200 less than what we lose in whole life "fees." It actually comes out ahead for us to have whole life if you compare it to term for this reason. 200x12x10=24,000. (The price difference between term and whole, times 12 months a year, times 10 years). Our cash value after one year was already higher than this.

Freelancing guide for beginners in Venezuela(Without Programming Skillls) / Guía de Freelance para principiantes en Venezuela (Sin conocimiento de programación)

Hello reddit! My name is LinkToU, and i’ve been commissioned by u/justgord to share some of my freelancing experience, living in Venezuela. It might not be much, but hopefully it'll help some people get started.

I’ve seen countless numbers of posts here in this subreddit, asking for advice on how to get started, and what are the best ways to receive money, so those are topics i’ll be touching upon in this guide.

As the title says, this is a guide that requires NO programming skills, this is meant to be a guide towards beginners, and people that are having a rough time, like i was, two and a half years ago, before getting into this.

 

First of all, i recommend reading this guide through google docs, because i'm not too familiar with reddit's formatting, and i think this version just looks better: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DotVUAtEAUXfgTAhDZtmylTzA4nImhoAGZCI-8XdKtM/edit?usp=sharing

Spanish version: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13DNEyyF7F-fXjpA1AplGqQjVh0H_LWd0cCjoKdZzQm4/edit?usp=sharing

 

 

Now, without further ado, let’s dive right into this.

 

What type of work can you expect to find?

There are actually a few types of jobs that you can easily find without any specific skill, for example, translations, lead generation, data entry, transcriptions, writing articles, and even being a virtual assistant. This list could go on and on, but i’ll just give you a couple websites where you can find these types of work, and you can go figure out what’s best for you.

 

Where to find work?

Most of the freelance work i've done it's been through two major websites, so i'll talk a little bit about them and about my experience with each.

 

Spare5 (https://app.spare5.com/) is the crowdworking website that got me into this, . This is basically a crowdworking website where you’ll be reviewing different images, annotating and drawing different polygons to help train AI to identify everyday objects.

Getting started in this page is the hardest part, but i’d say it’s just as hard as it was back in 2017 when i started.

You’ll first have to complete every tutorial, then move on to the qualifiers and onto paid tasks (be sure that you understand every task before diving into them, because if you don’t perform well on your paid tasks, they’ll be taken away from you, and you might even get permanently banned).

The minimum payment is $1, and the payment method that they use is PayPal, you don’t need to have a verified Paypal account, and you WILL NOT get your account limited by just receiving money from this page.

Like i said, the hardest part of this page is to get started, as tasks will be scarce, so try not to make any mistakes, and do every task as best as you can, this will guarantee that they give you even more tasks, and eventually, you’ll be assigned permanent tasks, and your dashboard will look something like this: https://imgur.com/a/TSUASME , as you notice, the payment for each task is really low but don’t get discouraged, you’ll want to find one that is easy to do, and that you can memorize the instructions, i’ve made up to $20 in just a couple of hours, out of easy tasks that paid 0.2c each. Of course, you’ll need practice, Practice makes perfect.

I have NOT been working on this page lately, because the payment per tasks has been diminished, and tasks only get more and more complicated to complete.

 

  • Pros of Spare5
    • Your payment is 100% secure with them (unless you get banned for underperforming in too many tasks), even if your Paypal account gets limited, you can reimburse the money they’ve sent you back to your Spare5 account (I’ve never done this, but i know it can be done, and the Spare5 team even helps you in the process).
    • The amount of tasks available are based in your performance, which means if you do well, you’re almost guaranteed to have some work to do whenever there is some available.
    • Some tasks are easy to do, and pay a good amount, i’ve made up to $50 in a good night, just off of tasks that paid 0.2c each.
    • Your earnings in this page do not only come from doing tasks yourself, there is a referral program where you’ll get 20% out of the first $100 that EACH of your referrals earns, and they’ll get 10% more out of their first $100 too, just for being referred by you.
    • Once you have enough experience in the page, you may have the Spare5 team reach out to you personally to test new features that they’re planning to add to the mainpage in the future, or just to interview you and ask questions to you about different things. All of these, are paid, and i’ve been approached on multiple occasions by the Spare5 team to take part in these. There is also a moderator position in their forums, i’m not entirely sure on how it works, but i’ve heard they pay you based on the amount of people that you help, only if you have the moderator role.

 

  • Cons of Spare5

    • As there is a limited number of available tasks, there are bound to be times where none is available, even if you have lots of experience, there are certain times of the year where there’s just no work to do (Usually January). This is what prompted me to stop using this website, and find a more reliable income.
    • Lots of reading through the instructions of any given task, which is bad specially because you may finish reading the instructions to a given task, only to have to move to another one after a short while, one you run out of available tasks of the kind that you were doing.
    • You’re subject to the revision of other users, which means, if you complete the task perfectly, but the person reviewing you makes a mistake, you’ll be punished for that. Even if you’re the one reviewing, the way to determine if a given task is good or bad, is based on what % of people reviewing the same image as you, passed it as good or bad, which means if you’re right, and the majority is wrong, again, you’ll be punished for it.

 

  • My recommendations for Spare5

    • Take your time, and really read through every single one of the instructions. If you get banned for underperforming, you will be permanently expelled from the website.
    • If you are unsure about what to do in a specific case, after reading through the instructions, ask the community for advice, they’re more than happy to help.
    • If, after you read through every single one of the instructions, and you’ve asked for advice from other community users, and you’re still unsure about a specific case, Skip the image.
    • Don’t be hesitant to Skip images, it has no negative repercussion whatsoever, i learned to see the skip button, as another tool that i used constantly.

 

 

Next, is Reddit, more specifically, the subreddit where i’ve found most of my freelancing jobs, is /r/slavelabour , where people post any kind of job that they need done (Seriously, any, i’ve seen many kinds of crazy stuff going on there), along with a payment offer, and usually a method.

This one is pretty good, since you can find different kinds of work based on your skills, i’ve mostly done data entry types of jobs there, but there are many others easy for beginners, you just have to keep an eye out for when any potential job gets posted.

Other similar subreddits that i frequent, but aren’t as active as /r/slavelabour are: /r/Jobs4Bitcoins/ , /r/WorkOnline/ /r/ForHire/ Follow the same advice that i will give for /r/slavelabour , as these work similarly.

  • Pros of Reddit’s /r/slavelabour & similar subreddits.

    • Diversity of jobs based on your skills.
    • Opportunity for long-term positions.
    • You can directly talk to your possible employer and discuss the payment method of your preference.
    • Great amounts of available job openings.
    • Simple jobs available.
  • Cons of Reddit's /r/slavelabour & similar subreddits

    • You have to be careful and look out for possible scammers
    • You need a minimum of reddit activity and possibly previous job references.
    • Pay rates are usually low.
    • There is a high demand for the job offerings, so you'll have to be quick and be able to pitch yourself well.
  • My recommendations for these subreddits.

    • If something looks too good to be true, it probably is.
    • Ask for your payment upfront, and build trust within the community.
    • If you’re going to work for someone, check their profile and activity, if anything looks off, don’t risk wasting your time.

 

Those are the main two websites where i've worked at for the past two years, there are some others that i know of, but since i haven't used them, i don't know how they work.

 

 

Now, let's talk a little bit about payment methods, and what are some good options for receiving your money once you've got yourself some gigs.

 

Payment methods:

Now that you know what are some good places to get started, let's talk about what's the best place to receive your payments, and keep your money safe. I’ll take about the few methods that i’ve used myself, such as PayPal, Uphold, AirTM, and most recently, Cryptos.

 

Where to receive your payments?

  • PayPal is the easiest way to receive and send money, with medium fees, it's one of the easiest to setup, as well as the most commonly used, from my experience.

    However your money is not 100% safe here, as your account could be limited, and your assets frozen, until you can prove that your earning aren't illicit, and you're not using PayPal for anything illegal, this latter being the hardest to prove, since, as you know, selling your PayPal money in USD, for Venezuelan currency(Bs), is illegal.

    If you’re thinking about using PayPal, i’d recommend you to verify your account, with a credit card under your name. Using a virtual credit card, is against PayPal ToS, but i used one anyways and haven’t had any trouble, since there are not many options here in Venezuela, since it’s near impossible to get a proper USD credit card.

 

  • Pros of using PayPal

    • It’s really easy to setup a PayPal account, as well as sending and receiving money.
    • It’s the most commonly used payment method for freelance gigs.
    • Exchanging money between PayPal and Venezuela’s currency, is easy, as buyers and exchangers are rather easy to find.
    • You can refund your money if you were to encounter a scammer whilst exchanging currencies.
    • There are some websites that guarantee you, and your PayPal account integrity & safety whilst exchanging currency.
    • It’s possible to withdraw your PayPal balance into an US Bank account, with minimum fees.
    • Can use your PayPal balance to buy in websites such as Ebay, Wish and many other websites.

 

  • Cons of using PayPal:

    • Fees are too high compared to other platforms.
    • Verifying your account is a must to protect your money, and some buyers will only buy money from verified accounts.
    • PayPal’s customer service isn’t very helpful, or understanding when it comes down to trying to recover a limited account.
    • Scammers might try to refund the money they’ve sent you after you confirm it, and you’d have to dispute.
    • There is a chance that you could get your account limited, this has never happened to me, however.

 

  • My recommendations for using PayPal:

    • First and foremost, verify your account, it’ll make life much easier for you, and you’ll be able to use your PayPal balance to buy in some eStores.
    • Don’t send, or receive small amounts of money from other persons, i avoid receiving amounts below $5, and ANYTHING below $1, is an absolutely no-go.
    • Exchange your currencies only with people you trust, seek for references from people you know, don’t trust strangers. I find that having a trusted buyer to sell to is the best way to go, even if you find someone who’s offering a better price.
    • Avoid refunds and disputes, as that will draw attention from PayPal’s staff into your account. I’d rather lose $10 to a scammer, than get my whole account frozen.

 

Uphold is another cloud based financial services platform, similar to PayPal, and with similar fees. The good thing about this platform, is that you can exchange your funds from USD to Crypto, and many other currencies, at the cost of a relatively small fee.

I haven’t used this method too much myself, as i used this mainly for it’s Virtual Credit Card feature, which is temporarily not available.

 

  • Pros of using Uphold:

    • You can go from USD to crypto and vice versa easily.
    • You used to be able to create virtual credit cards, a feature that might come back in the future.
    • Doesn’t have PayPal’s limitation issue.
    • Not too hard to use.
    • Fees are nothing too crazy.
    • Even if not too many people use Uphold, you can receive crypto payments in all of the mayor coins here.
  • Cons of using Uphold:

    • Crypto transactions take hours to complete.
    • Setting up your account isn’t as easy as some other options.

 

 

AirTM is an e-wallet where you can keep your money, and exchange it to other currency, or buy USD with your local money, all in the same platform.

Out of all the options i'm going to list for payment methods, this is my least favorite, as the fees are incredibly high, and in my opinion, what this website provides isn't worth it.

I haven’t had much experience with AirTM, as the fees are ridiculous, but i’ve used it and i’ll share my experiences.

 

  • Pros of using AirTM:

    • You can receive your money, as well as find exchangers to sell it here.
    • Provides you with all of the tools you need to exchange your money, 100% safely.
    • It’s the easiest option in terms of going from receiving payments in USD, to exchanging it into other currencies.
  • Cons of using AirTM:

    • Fees are ridiculously high.
    • It’s not as straightforward as other options in terms of setting up your account, and using this platform will take some time to get used to it.
    • Asks for a lot of stuff to verify your identity.
    • Venezuela’s government has previously blocked this website, and claimed to have been “seeking all of the delinquents using this fraudulent website”.
    • AirTM's website is sometimes blocked by the government and requires the use of a VPN to access it.

 

 

Finally, Cryptocurrencies, i’ve only started using this method recently, and i can already say, this is my favorite so far, and the method i’ll mainly use from now onwards, as this has proven to be really easy to set up, and in my opinion, the best option for receiving payments, as you’ll pay minimum fees for your transactions, keep your identity safe, and the exchange rate to Venezuela’s currency is really good.

I’d say there is no downside to receiving your payments here, as even if you were worried by the Crypto’s price dropping, you could easily use a third party website to exchange your Crypto, to USD in any other platform you’d like.

The cryptocurrencies that i’ve used are Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), all of the transactions that i’ve done haven’t taken longer than 30 minutes, with the exception of using SideshiftAI to exchange my BCH into BTC, which took about an hour. Setting up a wallet for these is rather easy, however here’s a quick guide for BTC and BCH. https://bitcoin.org/en/getting-started .

Also, another point in Crypto’s favor, is that some stores have begun accepting cryptos as a payment method, there’s an app in the Google Play Store named “CryptoLugaresVE” With a list of places accepting crypto as a payment method.

 

  • Pros of using Cryptocurrencies:

    • Fees are extremely low.
    • Anonymous.
    • Good exchange rates to other currencies.
    • Easy to set up, and straightforward to use.
    • You can potentially gain money, if the price of the crypto that you’re using increases.
    • Can be used as a payment method in a lot of eShops, and some stores in Venezuela.
    • Payments sent to you cannot be refunded
  • Cons of using Cryptocurrencies:

    • You can lose money, if the price of the crypto that you’re using drops.
    • Cannot refund your payments.
    • Transactions can sometimes take a long time to complete, although this hasn’t happened to me.
    • Due to the volatility of crypto’s price, it’s not good to keep your savings.
  • My recommendations for using Cryptocurrencies:

    • Don’t keep any money that you can’t afford to lose in crypto, so that if the price drops, you won’t be back at square cero.
    • Exchange your cryptos only with trusted buyers, or using safe third party websites, to ensure you don’t get scammed, since you can’t refund money.
    • Change your address after each trade.

 

 

Finally, i’ll talk a little bit about the couple websites that you can use to safely exchange money from USD, to Venezuela’s currency. Other than these, you’d have to find someone of your trust to exchange your currency.

 

Where to safely exchange your earnings to Venezuela’s currency?

 

  • Appbb (https://www.appbb.co/) is an eStore that will also buy funds from all kinds of platforms (Payoneer, Uphold, Paypal, Cryptos, etc.), while they might not have the best rates, they are reliable, safe, and a good option.

    The downside of this site, is that hey have a set amount transactions that they’re going to make per day, so you’ll have to wait for the store to open every morning, and grab your ticket.

    I haven’t used this shop in a while, i know that they’ve changed it, and i’m not sure how it works for exchanging your currencies anymore, but you can ask for advice in their facebook page and their support team is always really helpful.

 

  • Localbitcoins (https://localbitcoins.com/) is a trading website where you can sell/buy bitcoins from different users safely. This website works only for selling Bitcoin, but you can buy bitcoins with money from any other platform, at a fair rate, and sell the bitcoins that you’ve bought.

 

  • Foro-Ptc (https://www.foro-ptc.com/) is a whole website dedicated to making money online, there’s all kinds of useful content here, i recommend you to check it out, but more importantly, there is whole section dedicated to selling and buying USD for local currency.

    You’ll need a 30 days old account, and some posts before you can PM anyone you want, but there are some trusted buyers/sellers whom you’ll be able to send PMs to right away, so you can safely exchange with them.

 

 

That’s it for now, I’ll probably update the guide as i learn more and try out new stuff, as well as with your feedback. I just want to thank u/justgord for giving me the opportunity to share all of this with you guys!

 


 

Hola Reddit! Mi nombre es LinkToU, y u/justgord me comisionó para compartir con ustedes mi experiencia trabajando como freelancer en Venezuela.

He visto un montón de posts de gente pidiendo consejos para comenzar, cuáles son las mejores plataformas para recibir dinero, y cosas así, así que esos serán los temas que trataré en esta guía para principiantes.

Como dice el título, esta es una guía para personas que no tienen conocimiento de programación, sólo necesitarán un buen conocimiento de Inglés.

 

Recomiendo leer esta guía a través de google docs, ya que no estoy muy familiarizado con el formatting de reddit, y creo que esta versión es más fácil de leer: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13DNEyyF7F-fXjpA1AplGqQjVh0H_LWd0cCjoKdZzQm4/edit?usp=sharing

 

Versión en inglés: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DotVUAtEAUXfgTAhDZtmylTzA4nImhoAGZCI-8XdKtM/edit?usp=sharing

 

Bueno, sin más que contar, comencemos.

 

¿Qué tipo de trabajo se puede encontrar?

Hay varios tipos de trabajos que puedes realizar sin tener ningún tipo de conocimiento específico, por ejemplo, “lead generation”, registro de data, transcripciones, escritor de artículos, o incluso asistente virtual. Podría seguir nombrando tipos de trabajo, pero lo mejor será que les diga algunos lugares para encontrar trabajo, y que ustedes decidan qué es lo mejor.

 

¿Dónde puedes encontrar trabajo?

He trabajado principalmente a través de dos sitios web, así que hablaré un poco de mi experience en cada uno de ellos.

 

 

Spare5 (https://app.spare5.com/) es el sitio web de “crowdworking” con el que comencé a trabajar, hace dos años. Básicamente, estarás revisando diferentes imágenes, anotando y delineando diferentes objetos para ayudar a entrenar inteligencia artificial a identificar dichos objetos.

Diría que lo más difícil, es comenzar en esta página, pero no es mucho más difícil que en el 2017, cuando yo comencé, así que aún es posible.

Lo primero que tendrás que hacer, será completar los tutoriales, que te darán acceso a algunos calificadores, que determinarán si estás listo o no para tareas pagas (asegúrate de comprender bien cada una de las tareas, antes de comenzar a hacerlas, ya que si no las haces bien, te las quitarán y te podrían banear permanentemente.)

El mínimo de pago es $1, pagado a través de PayPal, no hace falta tener una cuenta de PayPal verificada, y recibir fondos de esta página NO hará que tu cuenta de PayPal sea bloqueada.

Como dije antes, lo más difícil de esta página es comenzar, al principio las tareas serán escasas, así que asegúrate de hacerlas bien, ya que esa es la única manera de garantizar que te seguirán enviando tareas. Eventualmente, te darán tareas fijas, y tu panel principal se verá algo así https://imgur.com/a/TSUASME . El pago por cada tarea es bajo, pero lo importante es encontrar una cuál sea fácil y memorizar las instrucciones. Yo he hecho hasta $20 en un par de horas, con tareas fáciles que pagaban 0.2c cada una. Sólo hace falta práctica.

Últimamente no he trabajado en esta página, ya que la paga por las tareas ha disminuido, y sólo son más difíciles de hacer cada vez.

 

  • Ventajas de Spare5:

    • Tu pago está asegurado en esta página (A menos que te baneen por hacer las tareas mal), e incluso si tu cuenta de PayPal es bloqueada, puedes reembolsar el dinero que te hayan pagado a tu cuenta de Spare5 (Nunca lo he hecho, pero sé que se puede hacer, y el equipo de soporte de Spare5 también te asiste en esto.)
    • La cantidad de tareas que tienes disponibles se basa en tu desempeño en tareas previas del mismo tipo, así que si las haces bien, garantizas tener trabajo siempre que haya alguno disponible.
    • Hay algunas tareas que son fáciles de hacer, y pagan bien, he ganado hasta $50 en una noche solo con tareas que pagaban 0.2c cada una.
    • Tus ganancias en esta página no vienen solamente de las tareas, hay un sistema de referidos que te paga un 20% de los primeros $100 que cada uno de tus referidos gane, y ellos recibirán 10% más de sus primeros $100, sólamente por usar tu código de referido.
    • Una vez tengas suficiente experiencia en esta página, puede que el equipo de Spare5 se comunique contigo personalmente para que pruebes nuevas características que piensan añadir a la página principal, o simplemente para entrevistarte y pedirte tu opinión sobre ciertas cosas. En cualquiera de estos casos, te pagarían por tu tiempo, mucho más de lo que ganarías normalmente haciendo tareas. También existe una posición de moderador de los foros, en la cuál he escuchado que te pagan basado en la cantidad de personas que has ayudado, una vez tienes el rol de moderador.
  • Desventajas de Spare5:

    • Ya que hay un número limitado de tareas, habrá tiempos donde no habrá ninguna disponible, incluso si tienes una gran cantidad de experiencia en la página, hay ciertas épocas del año en las que simplemente no hay tareas disponibles (Usualmente, en Enero). Esto es lo que hizo que dejara esta página, y buscara una manera más consistente de generar ingresos.
    • Hay que leer un montón de instrucciones para completar cualquier tarea, y una vez termines de leerlas, puede que tengas que elegir otra diferente, debido a que la tarea que ibas a hacer ya no está disponible.
    • Estás sujeto a la revisión de otros usuarios, lo que significa que aunque completes la tarea perfectamente, si la persona que te revisa comete un error, serás castigado por eso. Incluso si tú revisas la tarea, la manera que ellos utilizan para determinar si una tarea está bien o mal, se basa en la media de los usuarios que la marcaron como correcta o incorrecta, así que si tu estás en la minoría, serás castigado por eso nuevamente.
  • Mis recomendaciones para Spare5

    • Tómate tu tiempo y lee cada una de las instrucciones. Si te banean por hacer las tareas mal, serás vetado permanentemente de este sitio web.
    • Si estás inseguro sobre qué hacer en un caso específico, pregúntale a la comunidad.
    • Si luego de leer las instrucciones, y pedirle consejo a la comunidad, sigues inseguro, omite la imagen.
    • No dudes en omitir las imágenes, no tiene ninguna consecuencia negativa, debes ver el botón de “Omitir”, como una herramienta cualquiera.

 

 

Lo siguiente, es Reddit, más específicamente, el subreddit donde encuentro usualmente trabajo de freelance es /r/slavelabour , dónde las personas publican cualquier tipo de trabajo que necesiten sea completado, junto con un método de pago, y una oferta, para encontrar a alguna persona dispuesta a hacerlo.

Esta opción es especialmente buena, ya que puedes encontrar muchos tipos de trabajo, dependiendo de tus cualificaciones. Yo he hecho mayormente trabajos de registro de data, pero hay muchas otras opciones fáciles para comenzar, sólo hay que estar pendiente de cuando puedan ser publicadas nuevas oportunidades.

Otros subreddits similares que frecuento pero no son tan activos como /r/slavelabour son: /r/Jobs4Bitcoins/ , /r/WorkOnline/ , /r/ForHire/ Sigan los mismos consejos que daré para /r/slavelabour , ya que estos funcionan de manera similar.

 

  • Ventajas del subreddit /r/slavelabour y otros similares.

    • Diversidad de trabajos dependiendo de tus habilidades.
    • Oportunidad de encontrar posiciones permanentes.
    • Puedes hablar directamente con la persona que está contratando y discutir el método de pago de tu preferencia.
    • Gran cantidad de oportunidades de trabajo.
    • Trabajos simples.
  • Desventajas del subreddit /r/slavelabour y otros similares

    • Debes cuidarte de posibles estafadores.
    • Se necesita un mínimo de actividad en tu cuenta de reddit para participar en estos subreddits.
    • Las pagas son bajas, por lo general.
    • Hay una gran demanda para cada oferta de trabajo, así que hay que ser rápido, y saber la mejor manera de venderse a sí mismo como candidato.

 

  • Mis recomendaciones para estos subreddits.

    • Si algo se ve demasiado bueno para ser verdad, probablemente lo sea.
    • Pide tu pago por adelantado, y construye una buena reputación en la comunidad.
    • Si piensas trabajar para alguien, revisa su perfil, y si algo se ve fuera de lugar, no arriesges perder tu tiempo y ser estafado.

 

 

Métodos de pago:

Ahora que saben cuáles son algunos buenos lugares para empezar a conseguir trabajo, les hablaré sobre cuáles son las mejores plataformas de pago para recibir dinero, y mantenerlo seguro. Hablaré sólo de los que he usado, como PayPal, Uphold, AirTM, y recientemente, Criptomonedas.

¿Dónde recibir tus pagos?

  • PayPal es la manera más fácil de recibir y enviar dinero, con comisiones aceptables, y también es la más fácil de comenzar a usar.

    Igualmente, tu dinero no está 100% seguro en PayPal, ya que tu cuenta podría ser limitada y tu saldo retenido hasta que puedas probar que no estás recibiendo fondos de ninguna actividad ilícita, o invirtiendo en alguna. Esto último es difícil de probar, ya que vender fondos de PayPal en Dólares(USD), a cambio de la moneda Venezolana (Bs), es ilegal.

    Si planeas usar PayPal, recomiendo que verifiques tu cuenta con una tarjeta de crédito bajo tu nombre. Usar una tarjeta de crédito virtual, va contra los TDS de PayPal, yo igualmente usé una (Y no he tenido ningún problema), ya que no hay muchas opciones en Venezuela, debido a que es prácticamente imposible conseguir una tarjeta de crédito

    • Ventajas de usar PayPal
      • Es fácil de comenzar a usar, y enviar/recibir dinero también es fácil. Es el método de pago más usado para trabajos de freelance.
      • Cambiar dinero de tu cuenta de PayPal a la moneda de Venezuela es fácil, ya que los compradores son fáciles de encontrar.
      • Puedes reembolsar tu dinero en caso de que seas estafado al intentar vender tu saldo PayPal.
      • Hay ciertas páginas web, y métodos que garantizan tu seguridad y la de tu cuenta PayPal al realizar ventas de tu saldo PayPal.
      • Puedes retirar tu dinero de PayPal, a una cuenta bancaria en dólares (o dependiendo de la moneda) de algún país extranjero, con comisiones mínimas.
      • Puedes usar tu balance de PayPal para comprar en ciertos sitios web, como Wish, Ebay, u otros.
    • Desventajas de usar PayPal
      • Las comisiones son altas comparadas a otras plataformas de pago.
      • Debes verificar tu cuenta para proteger tu dinero, y algunos compradores sólo adquieren saldo de cuentas verificadas.
      • El servicio al cliente de PayPal no es muy útil, o comprensivo cuando intentas recuperar una cuenta limitada.
      • Puede que algunos estafadores intenten reembolsar el dinero que te enviaron luego de que terminas el trabajo, y tendrás que disputar su reembolso.
      • Existe la posibilidad de que tu cuenta sea límitada (aunque nunca me ha sucedido).
    • Mis recomendaciones para usar PayPal
      • Primero que nada, verifica tu cuenta, esto hará las cosas mucho más fáciles para tí, y podrás usar tu balance de PayPal para comprar en eStores.
      • No envíes ni recibas pequeñas cantidades de dinero de otras personas, yo personalmente evito recibir cantidades menores a $5, y no acepto ninguna cantidad menor a $1.
      • Realiza tus cambios sólo con personas en las que confíes, busca referencias de personas que conozcas, y no confíes en extraños. Tener un comprador fijo es la mejor manera de mantener tu dinero seguro, aunque no siempre ofrecen el mejor precio.
      • Evita los reembolsos y las disputas, ya que eso atraerá atención no deseada a tu cuenta de PayPal. Es mejor perder $10 por un estafador, que todo el saldo de tu cuenta por un bloqueo.

 

 

  • Uphold es otra plataforma similar a paypal, con comisiones similares.

    El punto a favor de esta plataforma, es que puedes intercambiar tus fondos de USD, a muchas otras criptomonedas, u otra moneda extranjera, al costo de una comisión relativamente pequeña.

    No he usado mucho este método, lo utilizaba principalmente por la función de crear una tarjeta de crédito virtual, pero esta está temporalmente desactivada.

    • Ventajas de usar Uphold
      • Puedes intercambiar tu saldo de USD a otra moneda, o incluso criptomonedas, fácilmente.
      • En el futuro, es posible que vuelva la función de crear una tarjeta de crédito virtual.
      • No tiene el problema de limitación de PayPal.
      • No es difícil de usar.
      • Las comisiones no son muy altas.
      • Aunque no muchas personas usen Uphold, puedes recibir pagos en criptomonedas aquí.
    • Desventajas de usar Uphold
      • En mi experiencia, las transacciones con criptomonedas tardan horas en ser confirmadas.
      • Configurar tu cuenta para comenzar a utilizar Uphold no es tan fácil como en otras opciones.

 

 

  • AirTM es una billetera electrónica donde puedes guardar tu dinero, e intercambiarlo a otras monedas, o incluso comprar monedas extranjeras con tu moneda local, todo en la misma plataforma.

    No he utilizado mucho esta plataforma, debido a que las comisiones son ridículamente altas, pero siempre la he visto como una especie de plan de contingencia, en caso de que necesite dinero, y no haya ninguna otra opción disponible.

    • Ventajas de usar AirTM
      • Puedes recibir dinero, y encontrar compradores en una misma plataforma.
      • Tiene todas las herramientas necesarias para cambiar tu dinero 100% seguro.
      • Es la opción más fácil en términos de pasar de recibir dinero a cambiarlo a otras monedas.
    • Desventajas de usar AirTM:
      • Las comisione son extremadamente altas.
      • No es tan fácil configurar tu cuenta, y tomará algo de tiempo acostumbrarte a usar esta plataforma.
      • Pide un montón de cosas para verificar tu identidad.
      • El gobierno de Venezuela ha bloqueado previamente esta plataforma, y dijo estar “buscando a todos los delincuentes vinculados a esta página criminal”.

 

 

  • Finalmente, Criptomonedas, empecé a usar este método de pago recientemente, pero hasta ahora, es mi favorito, y probablemente sea el que utilice de ahora en adelante para recibir mis pagos, ya que es fácil de configurar, y en mi opinión, la mejor forma de recibir pagos, ya que cuenta con las comisiones más bajas por transacción, mantiene tu identidad segura, y el ratio de intercambio de criptomoneda a moneda venezolana es bueno.

    Diría que no hay ninguna desventaja a recibir tus pagos en criptomonedas, ya que incluso si te preocupa que el precio de la criptomoneda baje, puedes usar un sitio web de algún tercero para cambiar tus criptomonedas a cualquier otra plataforma de tu preferencia, a un buen precio.

    Las criptomonedas que he utilizado son Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin (BTC) y Ethereum (ETH), todas las transacciones que he realizado no han tardado más de 30 minutos en completarse, con la excepción de cuando usé SideshiftAI para cambiar mi saldo BCH a BTC, y aún en ese caso, tardó cerca de una hora.

    Crear una billetera es fácil, igualmente, aquí hay una guía para comenzar en BTC y BCH. https://bitcoin.org/es/como-empezar

    Otro punto en el favor de las criptomonedas, es que algunas tiendas en Venezuela han comenzado a aceptar estas como método de pago, hay una app en la Google Play Store llamada “CryptoLugaresVE” Con una lista de lugares que aceptan criptomonedas como forma de pago.

    • Ventajas de Usar Criptomonedas:
      • Las comisiones son extremadamente bajas
      • Anónimo.
      • Buen ratio de cambio a otras monedas.
      • Fácil de usar
      • Puedes ganar dinero potencialmente, si la criptomoneda que usas aumenta en precio.
      • Puedes usarla como método de pago en muchas tiendas virtuales, y algunas tiendas de Venezuela.
      • No es posible reembolsar pagos que te hayan enviado.
    • Desventajas de usar Criptomonedas
      • Puedes perder dinero si la criptomoneda que usas pierde valor.
      • No puedes reembolsar tus pagos.
      • Las transacciones pueden tardar un montón de tiempo en completarse.
      • Debido a la volatilidad del precio de las criptomonedas, no es buena opción para guardar tus ahorros.
    • Mis recomendaciones para usar Criptomonedas
      • No guardes dinero que no puedes perder en criptomonedas, así, si el precio baja, no perderás mucho.
      • Intercambia tus criptomonedas sólo con compradores confiables, o utiliza algún sitio web de terceros que asegure tu dinero.
      • Cambia la dirección de tu billetera luego de cada transacción.

 

 

Por último, hablaré sobre un par de sitios web donde pueden intercambiar dinero de dólares, a la moneda local venezolana. Aparte de estos, existen otros sitios webs de confianza, y siempre está la posibilidad de encontrar una persona de confianza para realizar todos sus cambios de USD - Bs.

 

  • ¿Dónde puedo cambiar mis ganancias de forma segura a la moneda local de Venezuela?

    • Appbb (https://www.appbb.co/) es una tienda virtual que también compra saldo de diferentes plataformas (Payoneer, Uphold, Paypal, Criptos, etc.), y aunque no tienen las mejores tasas, son una opción confiable, segura y buena.

      Lo malo de esta página es que tienen una cantidad limitada de cupos por día, así que tendrán que esperar a que la tienda abra cada día, y agarrar su cupo rápidamente.

      No he usado esta tienda en algún tiempo, sé que han cambiado un par de cosas y ya no estoy tan seguro de cómo funciona, pero pueden escribir directamente a su página de facebook y su equipo de soporte siempre está atento allí.

    • Localbitcoins (https://localbitcoins.com/) es un sitio web de intercambios donde puedes vender o comprar bitcoins de diferentes usuarios de forma segura. Este sitio web solo funciona para vender Bitcoins, pero es posible comprar bitcoins con dinero de cualquier otra plataforma, con una buena tasa, para luego venderlos.

    • Foro-Ptc (https://www.foro-ptc.com/) es un foro dedicado a generar ganancias online, hay muchos recursos interesantes aquí que les recomiendo lean, pero más importante, hay una sección completa dedicada a la venta y compra de dólares por la moneda local.

      Hace falta una cuenta con 30 días de antigüedad, y algunos posts antes de poder enviar mensajes privados a cualquier persona, pero hay algunos vendedores designados a quienes podrás enviar mensajes sin importar la antigüedad de tu cuenta, con quienes podrás hacer intercambios sin tener que esperar.

 

 

Eso es todo por ahora, probablemente siga actualizando la guía mediante vaya aprendiendo nuevas cosas, o con sus recomendaciones. Sólo quiero agradecerle a u/Justgord por darme la oportunidad para compartir todo esto con ustedes!

Last Minute Crypto Help - Bitcoin.tax

I'm almost done with importing all my trades/income/transfers into Bitcoin.tax, however, I'm a little stuck on how to indicate that I bought ETH on Coinbase with $USD and it wasn't just a trade. Right now, it is labeled as a BUY event which I don't think accurately represents that it was $USD to crypto.

The underlying issue is that since this is a BUY event, when I traded it for a different token, it doesn't match a BUY with another BUY. So in the end, it doesn't know what I did with the first BUY from Coinbase.

What do I do in this case?
