Due to the rampant manipulation of online advertising networks, advertising revenues for some online publishers is very less in the last decade
When the real domain investors are trying to supplement their income to pay e domain renewal fees doing freelance work, they find that they are not getting any paid work on popular websites like Fiverr.com, due to discriminatory government policies and theft of leads and orders by government agencies falsely citing national security.
So when these loss making domain investors are searching for work online, the  work they find is mainly with crypto payment with Bitcoin, Litecoin being the most popular options.
Some of the websites with paypal payment are openly rejecting some online workers, making fake allegations of quality without proof while far worse writers get plenty of work.
The online workers are only getting some payment for the work they do from websites which pay using crypto since the payment is not directly linked to the identity, or PayPal account
Though the well paid government employees are always belittling the online workers, they deserve some compensation for the time and effort  just like offline workers like construction workers, maidservants. So the well paid government employees have no right to make claims about their girlfriends and relatives who are mainly cooking, cleaning for their families, do no computer work at all, yet get monthly government salaries for faking domain ownership, bank account and online income.
Specifically online money making websites in Africa, Eastern Europe are mainly paying using crypto since PayPal, payoneer are not available in those countries. Citizens who do not get paid work at home in their home country or from USA,Canada, UK have the right to work for clients worldwide and get paid for their time and effort working for clients worldwide.
