Hey Davood.

I am sorry to hear about the banking blockade you are subject to. I find this ridiculous, from both sides (external sanctions, and internal blocks). You are not responsible for the stupidity of governing bodies, yet you pay the price for it. Yes Crypto is the way to go, yet in this situation I wonder how you manage to cash out.

Pond5 pays me by Paypal, but I think they can also by bank transfer (to be checked). I am pretty certain that they are not ready for the crypto world, but I haven't checked their payment methods for a while. Maybe you can arrange a system similar to when you cash out BTC from your broker (a banktransfer from Pond5 to your account at your Broker's? explore and even ask them at Pond5 - they are topnotch in individual support).

If I had not gone into teaching as my main activity, and kept on making production music, today, I would probably be self-suffiscient just with the music. Yet, I would be bored to death and probably in an existential crisis right now.I think it would also have hurt my inspiration producing crap music like a machine (when I mean crap music, I mean great pro sound with a boring composition because background music...). Yet, it makes a nice passive income. My best selling tracks have reached the 4 digits over the years. Now, I prefer putting music back in the hobby box for a while, producing what I want not what works :-)

Let me know how it goes, be well and stay inspired, my friend!
