I've never really seen Bitcoin freelancing as separate from freelancing.

This. As simple as possible!

Just because there is a new payment method it doesn't mean there will be people asking for services
It won't happen with the freelance, with groceries, with the car industry, the market was already oversaturated with payment options and what is more important with people willing to do jobs!

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?

One of the stupid theories we both agree is bs in the past.
It's the same thing as thinking just adopting bitcoin and Somalia ry will start producing racecars, satellites and 69 generation fighter planes.

Ok, you're allowed to work, BUT for who? If there is no demand for services, there is no demand for your work.
And while bitcoin can create a small improvement regarding fees and help those services become cheaper this tiny advantage was offset by the increased number of freelancers with internet access in poor countries compared to the minimal growth in demand from developed countries.

Nice, I tried to edit this twenty times till I managed to delete it Cry
