Bridging the Gap Between Crypto and Real Life: Daniel’s Journey with Opolis
Freelancers and solopreneurs know that juggling multiple projects can be a nightmare for time management. When you're not only dealing with client projects but also balancing billable vs. non-billable activities, like those pesky administrative tasks, things can get out of hand quickly.
For Daniel, a software developer who jumped ship from corporate life to contract work in the crypto sphere, this balancing act was even trickier— until he discovered Opolis.
A Seamless Experience
“I get paid in [cryptocurrency] stablecoins, and Opolis makes it really easy for me to basically use those stablecoins to actually get paid into my bank account in real life, while also taking care of things like insurance and such. So it's just a really seamless process for someone in my position,” Daniel explains.
In an industry where terms like "fake internet money" are thrown around casually, Opolis helps make crypto as real as your morning coffee.
Freelancers like Daniel no longer have to worry about how to convert digital assets into cash or how to secure long-term benefits like health insurance. Instead, they can focus on billable tasks and grow their businesses while Opolis takes care of the logistics.
Opolis also allows you to pay invoices in crypto with compliant USD off-ramping, receive part of your net pay in crypto if desired, and allocate 20% of your 401(k) with ForUsAll in crypto.
The Jump from Corporate to Crypto
Transitioning from the nine-to-five grind to freelance work can be daunting, especially when you’re handling multiple projects.
Daniel faced these challenges head-on when he made the move to the crypto sphere. Uncertainties about managing his income, securing health insurance, and figuring out how to structure his time were overwhelming. Enter Opolis.
“Opolis has really been a saving grace because when I was given this opportunity to basically leave my corporate job and go more to the crypto sphere, I was like, ‘Hey, I don’t know how I’m actually going to get paid in real life and how I’m going to take care of insurance and such.’ And Opolis has really bridged that gap seamlessly for me, and it was a big deciding factor in me actually making the transition to this sort of freelance role that I’m in today. So I’m really thankful for that.” shares Daniel.
Opolis didn’t just make Daniel’s transition easier— it made it possible.
By providing a platform that handles everything from health insurance to payroll, Opolis ensures freelancers can focus on their core activities without worrying about the nitty-gritty details.
Simplifying the Complex
If you’ve ever tried to manage your own business while handling time tracking, project management, and payroll by yourself, you know it’s no easy feat.
For Daniel, Opolis turned these non-billable activities into non-issues. The platform’s strong core of services allows freelancers to maximize their billable time by offloading those dreaded administrative tasks.
“I would say Opolis just really makes a lot of HR functions for me really easy-peasy to use so I can actually spend most of my time working to generate income,” Daniel shares. “It was a big deciding factor in me making the transition to this sort of freelance role that I’m in today.”
Let’s face it: whether you’re doing core exercises or managing a team of one, focusing on billable activities is key to maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Opolis helps by handling the specifics— like managing payroll, benefits, and even your project manager duties— so you can zero in on what really matters: client projects that actually pay the bills.
The Freedom to Focus
For freelancers like Daniel, every moment spent on non-billable tasks is a moment not spent on specific projects that bring in revenue. Time management isn’t just a skill; it’s a survival tactic.
By using Opolis to streamline everything from HR to time tracking, Daniel can now focus on the amount of time he spends on billable tasks, rather than getting lost in the weeds of administrative duties.
“I’ve really appreciated using Opolis these last few months on my new adventure, and you all have always been super helpful, and I look forward to [continuing to use Opolis in] the future,” Daniel concludes.
