I love it, and I think $45 USD an hour is great (it comes to $7,200 USD a month) which is great for the part of the world I am in. My worry is about the payout, which apparently requires Stripe. Personally I would be happy to receive payment in some crypto (even a stablecoin), or Paypal. But having to setup a stripe account seems overkill for me.

Paypal is f*&^ expensive. They'll enforce a conversion to your native currency which will cost about 2.5% (but no one really knows - at least this used to be the case last time I used them). $45/hr seems pretty low from here (Eastern Europe) and it definitely DOES NOT translate to $7200/month (which would be an OK income). Anywhere. You can't do this kind of work 160 hours/mo. Though if you have a stable project and you do this on top and only calculate the monthly income for a comparison, then OK. But you'd still have to calculate with at least your holidays.
