So I've been getting a lot of questions about crypto use in real life beyond just trading. Here's how I deal with crypto payments in my practice.
1. How I accept payments
I use NowPayments as my crypto processor. A heads up: you need a business email to sign up, personal email won't work here. The cool part is clients can pay with credit or debit cards too, even if they're not crypto holders. It feels like a regular card transaction for them.
Definitely like how you tackled local issues. Using stablecoins alongside P2P when crypto ATMs are rare is super practical. It’s something a lot of folks in similar zones deal with. If you follow basic P2P safety tips, it’s a solid method.
This is where crypto really shines imo: it's flexible, cheaper, and takes away the hassle of slow banks. Appreciate you laying out this process, it's real valuable stuff, not just some theory.
The P2P part can be a bit tricky... in my experience, it can work great until it doesn’t. Usually, the banks get freaked out about random deposits or buyers trying sketchy things with chargebacks.
If anyone plans to replicate this, stick to proper business practices: maintain clear records and consistent invoices, make sure you can explain why you got $X from client Y without any confusion, and definitely don't mix it with your personal finances.
