If you look at similar platforms based on "real" money (as you put it), you will see these are actually relatively high budgets for these projects. Take a look through the projects over on odesk and weep: https://www.odesk.com
Given that though, yes there is an allure to bitcoin. Many people believe they will be worth more in future, so may willing to work for lower rates in order to get some and participate in the "bitcoin economy".
Yes, I know the rates in USD/GBP/EUR, and that's why I was asking. I had a quick look at odesk and the rates are lower than I would normally charge myself for the things that I do.
That's what made me curious, but your answer makes a point, but then it means people are taking a punt on the Bitcoin.
