Our conversation with Fred Krueger, CEO of Workcoin addressed a range of issues related to blockchain technology – the promise, the technological shortcomings, critical innovations to drive adoption and the critical role of stable coins. In the podcast, Fred shares what he saw that makes blockchain technology such a breakthrough, he discusses the technological shortcomings of the Ethereum blockchain and the challenges involved with the difficult user experience. Also, the coming generation of easy to use wallets such as EOS Lynx that will make it easy to transact cryptocurrencies and his expectation that we are on the verge of a major demand inflection as several technologies provide truly scalable infrastructure. He also discusses the market dynamics around the rise of freelancing that led him to found Workcoin, and the impact of regulation on how blockchain companies will increasingly be funded.

Freelance employment makes up 34% of the U.S workforce, contributing 1.4 trillion to the nation’s economy; and it is estimated that 50% of workers will be full-time freelancers by 2027. However, the current marketplace mainly caters to entry-level tasks, charges high fees, and can take weeks for payment processing. Plus, platforms like Upwork hide contractor’s identities in order to prevent them from working directly with employers. Now, there's WorkCoin–a ‘Google for Gigs’ professional services marketplace (now in desktop beta with iOS and Android apps coming later this year) that provides verified identities to allow employers to search any term and find relevant freelancers with a hashtag-driven search engine. They've just announced that their platform now has zero commission fees (previously 5%) to enable payments, arbitration, and dispute resolution at no cost to users.

A serial entrepreneur, Fred Krueger has started and sold nine tech companies in the last 20 years. He is particularly excited about the changes taking place via crypto-currency. Fred is the founder and CEO of WorkCoin, a crypto-currency and marketplace designed to increase transparency and identity of high-end freelancers and facilitate consumer-freelancer transactions at a significantly lower price than the existing platforms. Kory Larson is a UX specialist and the talented Chief Design Officer of WorkCoin. 40% of Americans are now freelancing and these numbers are expected to grow. WorkCoin is addressing this trend by creating a system in which freelancers can find work while building and maintaining their reputation, and consumers can search, investigate, and pay for a quality freelancer that meets their needs. WorkCoin requires freelancers to provide accurate information on their identity and qualifications, so consumers have the benefit of access to accurate and reliable information on the person or business providing the service. The bottom line is this: consumers have quicker access to a quality freelancer. Additionally, the “crypto-in, crypto out” mode of transaction eliminates hassles that may come with other payment methods, such as fraud and extra charges. By avoiding these charges, the WorkCoin platform is four times cheaper than current platforms. WorkCoin also provides a means for resolution of disputes by incorporating escrow and arbitration into the framework. To find where WorkCoin is launching their ICO and to learn more about the company, go to WorkCoin.net.
