Thanks @TheCryptovator – appreciate your input.
I’ve had similar situations. Some clients insist on stablecoins, some are hardcore BTC-only, some want to negotiate in fiat but pay in whatever feels fun that day. 😅
Personally, I try to price based on the value *I* feel the work delivers — and then use fiat as a reference only if needed for clarity. BTC is volatile, but so is creativity, right?
For bigger gigs (like custom music, or larger dev tools/scripts), I sometimes set partial payments:
- a small fixed BTC amount upfront (commitment),
- final BTC amount closer to delivery (based on market or agreement),
- and optionally a little “sats bonus” if the client’s really happy.
I think the key is: BTC pricing is flexible, but *value* must feel fair to both sides. That's the real currency.
Do you guys think there’s demand for something like a BTC-native creative marketplace with transparent pricing tools? Or are most people just handling it P2P and ad hoc?
