I get paid in USDC for programming gigs and third party exchanges in Iran convert it to Rials for me. The third party exchanges resell crypto to other Iranians who want to use it to buy sanctioned digital goods. It is the widespread use of crypto that makes this possible if it wasn't mainstream then there wouldn't be a difference between getting paid in crypto and a Google Play gift card.
