It's a shame that nobody's been able to establish a reputable freelancing platform. It's a huge market though. Maybe something based on Nostr will bootstrap.

i've tried other freelance platforms with no success, they all seem very scammy. on upwork i have like a decade of experience , top rated and plenty of feedback. still very hard to find half decent clients tho

i also had a look at some of the crypto native freelancer sites but without much luck, i usually see crypto jobs being more coding and tech-related which is probably why i think

Here's why bitcoin gives me hope

128,000 sats/mo are you kidding me!? Well that's their money but anyway you're doing well as an example which may rub off eventually.

Since you mentioned Upwork, have you tried or had success with any of the Bitcoin clones?
