I think it is relevant. If you work for crypto scammers, problems are more likely. If you work for normal clients, via upwork or some other way, problems are less likely.

Upwork handles payment. The freelancer has no ability to verify the card used for payment.

If you work for "crypto scammers" just take partial or complete payment up front, in crypto which can't be retroactively taken from you.

tbh he might try not to pay back anyways, but they might close his upwork account, so the payment method is irrelevant here, isn't it?
