I'm a person who would like to do some work for Bitcoin, so I monitor freelancing sites occasionally, and at this time I feel like the freelance market in Bitcoin is nearly dead. The Services board is 99% listings of services rather than people who are looking to buy some; XBTfreelancer is empty or has 1-2 projects most of the time; cryptogrind has mostly just ridiculously underpaid projects or again service announcements (shouldn't they be banned there?), and there's also not much available projects overall; workingforbitcoins has very little traffic, just a few projects per month.

It was theorized that Bitcoin will help alleviate poverty by allowing people to work online without any restrictions, but on practice this just isn't happening. In your opinion, what is the reason for this?

Maybe the reason could be people started to work for useless tokens not only for bounties but also for other crypto related services so those sites were in silent mode now but its not completely lost its place,when there will be a highly bullish trend all those services will be back so there will be more chances for freelancers.

And I don't think bitcoin is not created to help poverty,it just to give us financial freedome wither we could have it via earning or buying.

You have a point, and another thing is that unlike before wherein project has their own fund, and they have private investors, but nowadays the project is purely relying on the fund that they will raised in public such as IEO/ICO and if they haven't raised anything at all or just raised small amount of money, they stopped or sometimes run away.

People investing on the current ICO's can't be considered as investors because they just rushing to invest when the see huge discounts but they never care about what they are about to invest and how this project could go in long term.Basically investors have to concentrate on long term goals or benefits to be more successful.
