A company did an interesting social media experiment on people's acceptance of cryptocurrency as a method of payment for salary.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vcGUeDlnLU&t=30s

Looks as though it could possibly have been staged by the company (I don't think so??), but the results seemed similar to what I would expect if it was genuine. And I think it is actually a clever way of promoting their token sale, more potential to go viral than other promotional videos I've seen. Anyway, personally I think I would be happy to take cryptocurrency as at least part payment for salary, and depending on circumstances, the whole amount.

hmm, its look not good right now because if they paid salary with their own cryptocurrency i think it will be risky if the price of the cryptocurrency is not stable and the price is going down and going up in a second its will be risky to their salary, maybe it will decrease their salary if the price of crypto is going down

I don't think that's the point, although I get what you're saying. More about whether people would accept (any) cryptocurrency as payment. For the purposes of this thread, let's assume it's Bitcoin, or perhaps that you could choose which cryptocurrency to get paid in.

In my particular situation, I'm married and not the only person providing household income. With that being said I could afford to take an entire income in BTC bc obviously, it would be worth a fortune in the future. Many people that are the sole provider for the household like if they were single or a person that had a stay at home parent as a spouse I don't believe I would do it in that scenario unless your a professional at Tech. Analysis and are willing to pay short term taxes on your gains and still have enough profit to make it work. Also you'd have to consider how much time that would take away from your life if you have to do your job 9-5 and then trade to bring it to fiat after work is done.

Lot's to consider and for some it would be possible. For many it's probably not feasable yet since BTC isn't widely accepted for groceries yet.

getting paid in cryptocurrencies in general specially in a token is not the same as getting paid in bitcoin!

altcoins and worst of all tokens are not at all good for payment because everything you think is the reason why you don't want to accept bitcoin as your salary is even worse when it  comes to them including volatile price and lack of acceptance my merchants.
on top of it, the tokens are not a stand alone cryptocurrency. they rely on another platform which then can add a lot of problems to the equation.

I watched the video and its so funny and interesting how people react on their situations, only 36% of them are interested and willing to get their salary on cryptocurrency and I see some of them are shocked and have no idea about crypto.

If I am the one in that situation I cant really choose a crypto as a whole salary because as of now the value of the coins are very sensitive and too easy to change so I going to choose to get a part of my salary in crypto maybe 20-30% of the salary will go to cryptocurrency.

No, Bitcoin and alt coins are a good currencies and investments but salary in crypto is not convincing for me, the market fluctuate a lot and sometimes the price could fall down severely, so no, and it will be hard to buy things using cryto, for salary we need something stable so we can manage our financial in a better way, and some guys in the interview is really bold by ready to accept salary in crypto, seems like guys are more willing to take the risk of accepting crypto

Personally, if I had the chance to be paid with crypto, I'd only accept bitcoin. Though I wouldn't want it to be 100% in bitcoin as I really just cant use bitcoin for purchases in the country I'm in as pretty much no one accepts it. Hopefully in the future though. I'd probably accept 50% in bitcoin and 50% in fiat; but this also completely depends on how much the salary is.

No, I think it is not a good idea. many people dont know about bitcoin and every country has currency. It is imposible, we cannt to fulfill our needs with it.

        No,i won't doing a salary paid in bitcoin. Because bitcoin price is not stable and bitcoin can't be use for our daily needs,you can't buy a groceries using bitcoin and not all countries accept bitcoin already. Actually bitcoin as a salary has  an advantages and disadvantages. If someone recieved bitcoin as a salary during the time bitcoin price are lower it is good if one day bitcoin price increased but if someone recieved bitcoin at a lower price and it won't recover instead continue declining then it is not fair.

salary payments using bitcoin actually does not matter if there is agreement and approval from the salary is not a problem because I think it is more profitable if the pay using bitcoin.

Using Bitcoin for payment salary is not a good idea, it would be very risky because of unstable cryptocurrency prices. Currently crypto is only suitable for investment and and other transactions but not for payment of salary.

Yes that's the thing mate, the genuiness of the crypto currency in terms of government views would bring the revolution. The thing is we can't accept it as long it's not legal tender in our country. On the other hand neither companies can pay in terms of bitcoin if that's not legal. I mean actions might be taken on such organisations.

However, considering the bright side of the bitcoin and if it is made legal by government then I am sure I will be the first one to run to my employer and ask him to pay me in the bitcoin form. That would be just amazing to see salary in terms of the bitcoin.

Apart from this, this will push the economy to next level and government will do understand this in the time that yet to come.

Maybe if I already have enough money for my daily needs because If I my salary now is being paid by bitcoin it will become volatile so I dont want to spend it because I will just be saving it and will just convert it when the value increases.Specially when the value drop down I will never spend it and will just hold it as much as I can.

if someone get paid their salary in bitcoin, its more likely you get paid with assets invesment. simply you just directly invest what you have done in the company and what you get from the company. after I watch the whole video, it can be seen that almost all of the respondents already know cryptocurrency, this is a good sign. and a 36% percentage that says yes simply indicates that the longer cryptocurrency is getting accepted.

like the work done in this forum is by following the campaign signature activity of course our payment can be through the payment method with bitcoin so I think all can be done such a method as long as there is agreement agreed from the workers and employers. but on the other hand I think the work done in the real world obviously differs no deal and follows the campaign signature activity and I think the method of payment with crypto done on the job in the real world can be done during payment time should follow the ever-changing crypto price movement.

I don't think I will.
Because the price of bitcoin fluctuates, I don't like the sharp drop in my salary.

That is a foresight for a 21st century working salary. The integration of bitcoin in order to pay the goods and services can be achieved right now and in the near future. But I think it will do by a lot of firms and companies if the bitcoin will become stable and workers can access in cryptocurrency.

if in your country you are applying bitcoin as a legitimate payment tool then it does not matter and you should get approval from employees who work with you whether they accept payment using bitcoin if they accept then it is not a problem.

salary in bitcoin is advisable when this season start,the dip of market because theres a small possibilities that the fall of price happens so being a employee doubts of taking small salary is lessen,,but if pumps happen then this is our time coz we can earn more or we can convert our bitcoin from our previous salary in high value

I don't think I can accept bitcoin as a salary unless I have another stable job, because bitcoin is unstable and risky. And companies paying bitcoin should atleast done it legally because I don't think government will allow that.

Why is it not a good idea? It's not like you're forced to accept it in cryptocurrencies anyway. Companies/sites/organizations would probably just make it an option anyway; it's very unlikely for them to make you accept bitcoin mandatorily. If you didn't want to accept crypto then you're pretty much unaffected anyway.

I think it's really hard to do that because not all people are doing bitcoin so it's hard to give them a paid in bitcoin. Then the value of bitcoin is not stable.

Being paid using crypto currency is good and innovative but in terms of value of crypto this is not good because of the huge down to its value in just a couple of days. This is so risky because if your salary is 500dollars and paid with crypto that time then after an hour your 500 dollars became 300 dollars then that is a huge lost.

It could be a great idea only if bitcoin will be acceptable worldwide. At this very moment there's only few countries who agree to used bitcoin. It would be helpful if it willwill be usable all over the world. I will agree with this concept cause I can't see any wrong with it. Before anything else it must be sure that bitcoin is safety and secure to avoid hacking of accounts.

for me, I would rather not accept my salary paid in bitcoin. Bitcoin is decentralized and no one knows when is price value of bitcoin going to be stable. Until now not all people have knowledgen in bitcoin so I think many issues will occur if any company will pursue this.

I wont accept bitcoin as salary because i dont want to risk my month of work for a digital currency that is not stable yet. It's not about i support bitcoin or not it is because of volatility maybe my salary of bitcoin that time was so low how would I pay my monthly dues. I'd rather invest my savings to Bitcoin than giving me bitcoin as salary there are much difference between that

actually if this way can be done as a whole. this can be profitable for its users, when the salary payments are made with crypto currency, and the price is pumped, it is very clear this becomes the point of profit when the salary of five. and best promotional steps for token sales

If I had a normal day job I would love to get paid in Bitcoin, but in a way I do indirectly get paid in Bitcoin doing the work I do now, which is freelancing for crypto currencies. I hope that more and more mainstream businesses, especially the more high tech ones start thinking about using Bitcoin as a payment options, especially if they are outsourcing work to others in different countries. I would like to also see other major digital currencies as an option too, maybe someone wants to get paid in Monero or LITECOIN also, you never know.

Well i am from a third world country and bitcoin is not widely accepted by business entities in my country so i would say no. But if i do live in a developed country, say Japan, then i would readily agree with the deal.

I think that could be possible for some people but in my case as long as bitcoin is more stable now and no more bearish dips I will not oppose on it. That could be a good idea in which case bitcoin is not limited to it's growth then most likely we will be having a progressing salary by then. Another consideration that should be part of the deal is that the administration of the company should make a sort of assurance that the salary will not be hacked by any hackers
that could be address.

It sounds like cash will lose its function and I do not think it will happen, I think people will find it difficult when they shop for everyday purposes because it takes a long time to process transactions as well as unstable bitcoin values.

Nope I wouldn't do it because it's just too risky for me. I might end up with less money at the end of the week or month. I don't feel like gambling with my salary which my livelihood depends on.

Interesting but they're not the first one to do it, long back i had posted how a company gifted it top performers with a bitcoins.

Currently the situation is grim, even if the company's and employees would love it, the government doesn't and it's sad.

All over the globe it seems like a witchhunt against bitcoins and that's sad, they're now keen to launch a centralised crypto which shall fail, we'll make it fail. I'm sure the government will nudge the corporate to give that as a part of the salary.

in the end its a payment method , you can accept it or reject it based on your knowledge of crypto's , but it would be much better to try it and see hoe is the acceptance rate for it

I think if a company will pay salary through bitcoin it will be advantageous to them since they can prevent bank transfer charges. But a lot to consider in the side of employee. 1) Not all employees have an idea what is cryptocurrency is. - company needs to conduct a seminar first. 2) The time to receive the salary in fiat. In bank, once employee received they can instantly withdraw the money. In, cryptocurrency there are several steps in order to get the money. 3. Salary amount - cryptocurrency price is highly volatile. Therefore if they will not convert immediatley their salary there will be a possibility of losing.

I think it is going to take a while for this to work.
There are several aspects which will need time:
1. Government
There is a regulation regarding a minimum amount paid salary for each worker.
Since the amount is stated in the local currency, it means that every month employee will receive different amount of coin.

2. Employee
Currently many people still don't have a clue about what bitcoin is.
With the current news stated that the price of bitcoin is declining, many people will reject this new idea

3. Technology
Most companies are already use bank as a institution to pay the salary.
I don't know whether there is any service yet, which allow the salary to be distributed in a form of a coin.
Lots of companies will have to change their salary system, which mean more money need to be invested.

4. Only company which used bitcoin in their daily business will prefer to pay their employee with bitcoin.
And there is not much of this type.

Conclusion:
Yes, i think it's possible for a company to pay the salary in bitcoin, but I think not all of the salary will be paid in bitcoin.
Part of the salary will still be paid in a local currency.

I
Yes yes bitcoin is paid salary it like you are receiving  salary when you are employed you can work for bitcoin  even though you are only staying at home

Me too I don't like to put my family at risk, look at how much the price was dropped from last 3 months, suppose if I received my salary in Bitcoins what will be my position now. If you are single then you can take a risk it will not affect much of your life but if anybody depends on your salary better never choose this option.

That is big risk associated with getting paid in BTC per month. Most of the people have fixed installments to pay per month which is planned according to their monthly salary. If they get paid in BTC and the prices had crashed recently, this could affect the monthly expenses.

Bitcoin should be given for bonus payments. Most of the people keep the bonus in banks for emergencies or to get some interest. If they keep it in  bitcoins, they can expect huge returns like 10 x in an year. This means that they will get additional amount which may be more than yearly salary.

It is a bit hard because bitcoin.is volatile meaning the value is not fixed . it will affect the amount.of salary of one person. eepecially if it will decrease after you have recieved you salary. I think it is better to convert it to cash first.

Salary in bitcoin would be difficult especially for employees who have no idea what bitcoin is. It would be more advisable if the salary is in fiat money. There will be no hassle and you will not worry about the pump and dump of bitcoin. Many people will disagree about this.

I think with the current price of bitcoin and the market condition that is really unstable, people will not do it and the company owner also will not accept bitcoin for salary because the price of bitcoin is really unstable is the biggest reason why it's hard to implement bitcoin as a salary paid.

This will only work if the entire infrastructure is switched to bitcoin

I would take it and make sure to save most of it and wait till it pumps up again like it did last year.
I think most of us would take it and going to save some of their bitcoin for the future.

If your living expense come from the salary of your job,i think paid in bitcoin will have a bad effect to your livelihood as the price is volatile.Sure you can live in luxury when the price is high,but when the price is at the bottom it sure will be hard.If you got side job,paid in crypto will be no problem.

I'd rather pay in Fiat.After all, the cryptocurrency does not have a stable rate. And it is not taxed. As you know, the salary is taxed. Salary in bitcoin is beneficial for the employer.Thus it evades from payment of taxes.If bitcoin will be paid any incentives or bonuses it is quite acceptable.

Salary paid in bitcoin? Why not? Thats okey for me
If i get paid with bitcoin i will accept that and i will change into fiat as soon as possible
Why?
Because unstable price of bitcoin was the main reason for me

For me, it is alright. As long as they pay what is my salary in our currency. They need to adjust when it comes to that. If bitcoin price changes, they need to change also my salary convertible to the salary stated in the job offer. For example, the offer is $ 500 but in bitcoin, they should pay the amount in bitcoin. So the salary must be fixed.

Exactly.

Not true. Unless you're intentionally evading taxes, which is probably frowned upon by your government regardless of the currency involved.

I didnt watched the video but I assume it would be something a social experiment about what would be the outcome and reaction if someone is working on a day job and recieve Btc as a payment or salary.
I dont think someone would risk their primary source of income to a very volatile form of currency. Like in my case, I have a monthly amortazation and bills to pay. I rather have a fixed rate than risking my living. I can somehow take certain percentage from my salary to invest in cryptocurrency.

For me, it is okay to paid in bitcoin as long as they can paid us on time and as long as their company is legit. There is nothing wrong in having a salary like bitcoin.

Most of us will only take bitcoin as our payment over any others and getting paid in token is not good.But we still going to convert the token into fiat then it is okay to get paid in any tokens or crypto currency just after got paid.But if you are asking me I will take only bitcoin,LTC and ethereum as my payments others will not be accepted. :D

Bitcoin payment adaptation is not a bad thing and in-fact it is cool, bitcoin salaries and wages must be also constantly change according to market value so it is fair enough exchange rates.

If i am given that kind of prerogative, i will kindly request my employer to have it 50-50. 50% in bitcoin and 50% in fiat. That way i have something to spend for everyday needs and at the same time i have an investment to keep. Win-win situation, right?

Yeah. I thought what OP means by cryptocurrency is bitcoin, but I was wrong.

I myself will not agree if my salary is paid in other coin unless bitcoin because they are totally different. I prefer bitcoin.

im in total support of this,i guess its time now to spread bitcoin even in none believers and those normal employees,for them to realize how important this is to their daily living though theres lot of things to consider before this one will be implemented.but i know one day after all people have come to learn this then they will accept bitcoin and together with all cryptocurrencies in this community.thats my pointof view regarding this matter

I don't want to get paid in bitcoins. Regular income in Fiat to be predicted. This is probably the most important advantage of Fiat. It seems to me that cryptocurrencies are more suitable for deposits. You are sure that your money will not be arrested. Bitcoin has an anti-inflationary mechanism. But every day it is difficult to use cryptocurrency because of volatility.

Yes, i agree with you bro. if if only this could become stable or if there will be a GAIN/LOSS RATE computation, i think it would be fair. :)

Thats a good Idea but I think it is not right because cryptocurrency losses and increases its value every second. It would make the person who got the salary as crypto coins to lose money without doing anything. Crypto is like gambling, you invest money that you can afford to lose, salary are money that you earn to use for your everyday living you can't afford.

If its legal and government allows that then yes surely I will take it in the form of BTC. I mean thats the best thing for us as we can get it in the form of BTC, have some portion on the blockchain network and cash out the amount which we need for daily usage. This way we will have funds in the savings and everyone knows in the world of BTC, the savings actually gets multiplied as the time is passing by! So thats like getting double benefit for us. Also there wont be any restrictions on how you use it, I mean you can just grab the whole amounts, you can store them or you can re-invest it in the other assets available. SO I just see benefits of this kind of salary.

Quit a nice concept only if the  Bitcoin to be paid is Peg to a fiat, as BTC is not stable and a volatile coin,but I can be confident when the fiat is fixed to an amouny of BTC to be paid.

to be honest, I already work in the company which paid salary with bitcoin since 2 years ago.
sometimes i get more from the salary because i always hold my salary at least for 2 or 3 weeks.
but when the market is falling, of course it will be a loss for me. i suggest you sell instantly when you get a salary with bitcoin.

Youre right because when you hold your salary and you need it immediately and the market are at red youll loose some of it ofcouse since the salary is base on fiat currency. If you hold coin just make sure you have enough money for you to sustain in an emergency situation.

In the Philippines if our Local Government Unit will pay us cryptocurrency to our bitcoin wallets then it is still good for me. I am already using an app owned by a bitcoin exchange company named coin.ph and I can just keep my salary on that system. I have no fear since I can just automatically convert it to our local currency in just one click. So i guess I am good with it.

They have to accept the fact that crypto involves a lot of risk because fluctuations seems to happen from time to time. What is good about the technology is it is really a hassle free and it really saves a lot of time imo. Anyway, this is still needs a lot of experiment and probably can be a possible.

There was a Japanese company doing this last year, and I think it's very creative, but there's a big problem, if the whole company is a young man based technology company that may be popular, but if the company has a lot of old employees, and these old employees are every month. The salary can be budgeted for living expenses, house car loans and medical expenses. If the price of bitcoin fluctuates significantly, it will be very bad for the company, and employees are under great pressure to fall.

I still prefer a paper money than crypto. Bitcoin price is unstable.

I do not have any problem in getting paid in BTC but I think many of my coworkers will not like this. In fact aged people here might not have even heard about it.

I do not agree with your thoughts.
Maybe if the bitcoin value can be stable I would agree, but currently, bitcoin is often up and down unexpectedly.
Too risking being paid with bitcoin, the reason is that its value can go up and down.

I would take this. I could get paid and decide to cash out the exact value at that moment or I could decide to leave it and wait for it to go up before cashing out, either way there is a high potential for my salary to go up more than the original value I am getting for my coins. And i could also take out what I need and leave my savings in bitcoin and hold and sell at the bull market.

I call this an opportunity to have a salary as form of cryptocurrency. You have the opportunity to make more money through holding your bitcoin because the price itself is highly volatile and all you have to do is wait until the price of bitcoin will goes to the moon and thats the opportunity to double or triple your holding bitcoin. If your country are adopting crypto-world it is easy to use your salary through purchasing online using your bitcoin and no need to cash out in a form of fiat money.

For my part I don't  care what kind of money they'll going to use for my salary  as long as it has value and you can use it like fiat money. Also if your salary is bitcoin then the value of it is the always the same so sometimes you earn more than just your salary or you gain less from it.

I would not like to get paid with bitcoins because of the volatile prices. I am fine with cash payment  only where I can invest my extra savings in bitcoins.

for me, depending on the circumstances. cryptocurrencies are already accepted. just that some stores and companies are not accepting it. hopefuly they will accept it moving forward.

Nope, it's too much of a tax problem for me to be doing it. I'd have to account for the price that I recived the bitcoin in, subtract fees from that, and say that that is my W-2 income (given the company is taking taxes out before sending me money in bitcoin) Then when you sell you're going to have to account for the amount of money which is made in capital gains, as the amount that you received and the amount that you sold at (or capital loss, goes both ways)

This makes it too much of an accounting issue, I would just like to keep my wages in a non investment area -- it'll cost me more if I get paid in bitcoin all the time.

I will be happy to receive a portion of my salary in BTC but not all. This is because I will have difficulty paying for my daily expenses, house loan and bills since none of these organisations/shops accept BTC in my country.

salary paid in bitcoin is impossible in my country, no one company will try it because if the company try it may be they will get a serious warning from the government. in my opinion its difficult to happen because we need a stable value to paid salary and bitcoin can't do that.

I also believe that the current conditions of the cryptocurrency market, subject to excessive volatility and intense speculation, prevent them from being taken seriously as an optimal option for the payment of salaries, since for this particular case the bitcoin function required would be a reliable store of value rather than a means of payment, because people usually do not immediately spend their salary, but distribute it throughout the month to cover their needs as they arise, and it would be terrible to end the month knowing that your money is worth half of what it was worth at the beginning of month due to volatility.

Most ICOs pay their employees in some fraction of either ETH, or their upcoming token. I think it's quite commonly accepted in the crypto world, but to offer to pay a regular job in crypto would not go down well. Currently, about half of the money I earn is in crypto, so it's definitely less unusual to us here on bitcointalk.

And I yesterday on the radio heard the news that for the first time in history a person will be paid wages in bitcoins. Which, in fact, puzzled me with such a question. This man is a Canadian hockey player. The fee for his games will be paid to him in bitcoins. The salary, of course, was not said, but the fact is a fact. The first went, as they say.In occasion of that, that here wrote about the big commissions at cashing bitcoin. You know, looking at the frantic leaps of the course, you can just give a damn about this commission. When you pop your bank card into the ATM, the bank also takes a commission for any financial transaction. The commission, however, is much smaller than when cashing out the bitcoins. But the exchange rate, which is being withdrawn, is also much smaller. And getting a salary in a currency that is constantly growing is a pleasure.

Though I am a student, I think I am already doing this. I earn and get paid in BTC in joining signature campaigns and other services that I think is being run by specific companies.
It is great having btc as salary when prices are high and I think that is logically practical and many users are getting sad when prices suddenlys drops and their rates are being took off and becomes smaller. It is better to set a USD priced rates than BTC I guess so that it is fixed.

In future we will see more things like this as bitcoin and other altcoins are getting more and more popular around the world we will see this soon more often that employees getting paid in Bitcoin and Other coins.

I have heard that work is being done in this regard and that there are requests. Of course, at that time bitcoin was on the rising trend. Are there any willing people now at the same time? I'm not so sure.

Yes why because bitcoin is a good investment to hold although the price is having a hard time to increase and also as a signature campaign poster it is quite not new that my salary is paid with bitcoin so, if next time that someone ask me for job and my salary is paid in bitcoin or ethereum i will accept it without any doubts that my monetary value will lose or something because i am a supporter.

It actually depends if what you are earning at work is what you are using for your daily expenses. Bitcoin is really volatile so it's value can change anytime. Let us say that you have received your salary when bitcoin was $20,000 and it went down to $15,000 when you were about to cash out your salary, so, you've just lost a lot of money.

I do not see the idea of paying wages in btc. Imagine receiving your $ 2,000 paycheck in btc and then finding out after 15 days that the BTC has dropped and you have earned only 1,500 ...

this idea is almost impossible because of its volatility and decentralized. Cryptocurrencies are not mentioned in employment contracts, because it does not suit labors. Labors Organization will react to this idea. I think no company will do this.

salary paid in bitcoin, litecoin or ethereum i would accept, but only 50% from my salary. anything else would be too big for me at the current price erosion. but in itself i find the idea very good.

If they are paying their employees with their own made cryptocurrency then surely this idea is not acceptable if I would be their employee. Reason is, all the coins in crypto market are volatile. They don’t stop at one place hence growing up and down every time. So how could be my salary would fulfilling my needs if we are not getting enough salary in dip days? So think over it.

I like the idea of being paid in world’s most expensive and precious digital asset. An asset that can also bring profits over time. This way, a person who will be receiving salary in bitcoin would actually have two income sources. But the truth is no company or organization is that generous to give away bitcoin.At the present moment, it is not possible or too much difficult for this to happen.

It is a hard one cause of the huge volatility currently going on. But I would seriously consider it as I strongly believe that Bitcoin will succeed. Yes it is a risk but the one that has a great potential to pay off multiple times at the end ;)

Of this is true, then I guess i would still have to read all the terms and conditions of this payment method as an alternative for the salary. My main concern is that in the paper currency what you get is what is also stated in the contract but in the cryptocurrency market it is different as it is volatile. So say that the market changed drastically and that bitcoin went down so low then it might affect the company and the employees more ways than one though I agree this can be explored

This needs a thorough study since not everybody in the company is joining bitcoin. This would create mis understanding and confusion to some. I would not agree for now.

salary paid with bitcoin does not seem too bad because I think paying using bitcoin is a very good step because it can keep up with the times and by storing bitcoin a lot will get a very high profit when bitcoin price goes up, but it should be asked to the workers whether they accept payment using bitcoin or not.

I would take that. A big portion of my salary already goes into investing in bitcoin anyway so I would just take out what I needed and leave the rest in bitcoins.

I would say no to cryptocurrency as a method of payment for salary (maybe exept USDT coins). Its look not good for me right now because crypto is an investment with very high risks and unstable price.

Yes salary can be paid in bitcoin if my country don't ban btc

Yes salary can be paid in bitcoin if my country don't ban btc

probably a no from me at some points

I think that is not good for me because bitcoin price is low price now. Second, we can not buy something using bitcoin in some countries.

bitcoin price no have still up.price always get up or down.is the bitcoin value.we have understand Cryptocurrency market not still stable up.bitcoin salary system is very lossing in tell them my opinion. example,I got salary 500$ BTC in this price $15K ok.so next day if bitcoin price going to down.Then we will got huge loss.so I don't support this system.

I am presently building a crypto school where I would teach people about the benefit of crypto currency and how they can setup a wallet and start trading,  I have decided that all my staff teaching on the platform will get paid through bitcoin,  anyone who doesn't accept the offer can knock on the next door. I believe in crypto so much that everyone around me had to believe it to.

I think that isn't good for me because I can buy something using bitcoin. My country ban bitcoin for transaction.

Interesting topic. I think I won't do it if I am the boss of the company but if I am an employee I will accept bitcoin as my salary. Bitcoin price is possible to increase more than we predict in the future thats why I will accept bitcoin salary I'd the company would do it.

yes i would do that , i think it will be the new way of receiving  wages across the boards and you may make a profit with the price changes but within the next 5 years the experts will find away to freeze the price among the changes , but still will be the best way .

True what you say. It's more to make their company in the viral media. But this could also be a transformation of the company to prosper workers. Their workers can invest with the salaries they have.

Wow, it is so interesting that salary would paid in bitcoin.It is a big advantage for me as bitcoiners because im on my way of bitcoin.It is the new way if receiving wages acoss the biards and you can also make it as a profit.Still the best way to paid salary througg btc.

This is a very good idea but there have to be an agreement between the employees and employer. It will take people that are cryptocurrency oriented to accept. It will also be alright when bitcoin is widely known and accepted.

Whtaever the reason given as if now crypto currenc as well bitcoin cant be make as payment unless it is having stable value like USDT or DAi . otherwise companies can distribute employees in the form of shares crypto currency . some percentage they can distribute using Tokens . But complete salary using crytpo currency highly risky . Last 2 months bitcoin price gone half of its value . It will seriously effect eh people who saves money for the future.

I will also be very happy to see if bitcoin is used as salary for individuals, the increase usage most probably the supply and demand factor will indirectly impact the bitcoin causing it to moon. However i will not think the idea of substitute bitcoin as the salary will works now as the bitcoin price is too volatile for now and most people will not want to take this risk especially those with families and debts.

I do not think that will happen, salary can not be paid in Bitcoin. For now Bitcoin still can not be used as payment, and I think Bitcoin is only suitable as an investment other than gold.

If the payment will be made in BTC I will accept for I know that some day my BTC will make me earn more that those earning real money but cryptocurrency no will not accept for it is too risky.

It depends on when. While the bearmakret i would not have my sallary in bitcoins. Because if you get payed on day, and the other day the price of bitcoin dumps, you cant pay your bills. But last year while the bull market, i would love to receive my sallary in bitcoins. But i dont think that there many companies who would do that. For the most companys these would not be seriouse. And it will be very funny end of the year when you had to makes your tax report. What you want to wirte in? I earned 10bitcoin this year? ;D

It could be good idea with low volatility of BTC. However, if you work for 1 month and BTC drops from 15 till 5k$ in this month - company workers do not appreciate it  :)

For me, this is also a good way to pay the salaries of the employees of companies. I myself would prefer to accept Bitcoin over any fiat salary. But let us also be fair. I guess there will also be people who do not want it this way because cryptocurrencies are not stable in terms of their prices. Especially to those people who are primarily depending on their salaries, what if the value of the coins will fall down?

I think I can accept bitcoins as part of my salary, I know it is extremely volatile but I am willing to take the risks. It will become a good savings as it has an earning potential, i will invest it and wait for the right time to trade it and gain profits from it.

No, because the priceis unstable and trend is down.

I think this is not the right time to use bitcoin as payment for salary, many will complain and against with it because the price of bitcoin is not stable, sometimes people will get paid high, sometimes in lower value so they may not agreed with this situation.

I would love to be get paid in Bitcoin for sure but recently due to india's central bank pulling off the plug on bank support to Cryptocurrencies exchange will for sure deter me to do so.

I would prefer to receive my salary in fiat rather than in money wise. Although the price of bitcoin is getting stable down, but is still risky. So i think is better to receive money than bitcoin.

Its a very very bad idea men. Look into this, the salary of worker is fix  on what they are salary grade or salary standard, While the bitcoin is not stagnant,  its always move up and down, so how come bitcoin is possible to pay for salary.

I think payroll with bitcoin is not very good, we know together that the unstable bitcoin price becomes an obstacle to be accepted as official payment media.

I dont think I will embrace it. To me salary has to be in fiat. Easier to use and to be taxed with stable value. Because most people has to pay their monthly debt and it wont be wise to do when the price drops as of now.
Crypto as investment is still the best choice to me personally

I think we still have a ways to go before people in our current generation take cryptocurrency as a form of salary when most people are still trying to grasp what a bitcoin is and how it works. The younger generation will definitely be more likely to accept this.

People in signature campaigns will know, getting paid in crypto is not all it's cracked up to be. The coins you get paid in a week can either be up 30% or down 30% in any given week. Lately it's been down trending, so that $100/week or whatever often turns out to be far less than what you think.

No way would I do that with a huge sum of money that I relied on.

Thanks but no thanks. I would like my salary paid in fiat and then if I want to invest in crypto I will buy it myself. Have you seen the latest episode of Silicon Valley? It's hilarious how many times Bitcoin was not profitable to mine in a day!  ;D

It is not reasonable to use cryptocurrency to pay salaries. At this stage, cryptocurrency is a risky investment product, but salary needs to be stable.

Its must be very nice if we doing our job and paid with bitcoin. Bitcoin is very liquid, so if we want to buy anything we need, we can selling our bitcoin and convert it to fiat for daily spend. Rest of it, will hold it as investment

Only if as an additional earnings
Too few goods can be bought for cryptocurrency in my country.
And extra transactions are a waste of time
possible only in the future  8)

Nice experiment , only people can see the future will accept the crypto currency , smart people love crypto currency , only some ordinary guy still not believe in cryptocurrency , but in one condition , the company which paying salary with crypto currency will not pay the salary with their own selfmade crypto currency , must pay in top 10 altcoins

If the price of BTC is stable, I am willing to accept BTC's salary!

Otherwise, my salary will be lost, and no one is willing to admit the risk!

Because of big volatility of BTC such variant will suit almost to nobody.
When BTC will has low price - employees will be unhappy, when BTC will has high price - workers (business owners) will be sorry to pay a lot of money.

So far, bitcoin is not that much acceptable by so many people that we should go for something like this. We can do that but only when the governments take such constructive steps which can then result in the legalization of the bitcoin and that the ones who are willing to pay their employees a salary in the form of the bitcoins have this guarantee that they are authorizing to do so.

Yes, I am very willing to be paid by bitcoins but just a part of it because not all merchants here in my country accept it and I can't spend it for my daily basic needs. Bitcoin is still a very young digital currency and government can't deduct tax from it so it's one of the good advantage of having my salary paid in bitcoins.

nothing is impossible, if the market is ready with the pattern. I am the first person ready to pay for the work with bitcoin. if that happens, like a dream come true  :D

 I think it is not that easy that Bitcoin Will be used to pay salaries by many companies. It depend , if in campaign signature , yes why not, we grab that chance of having Bitcoin. But in our regular job, I do not think that it is possible, because Bitcoin price is flactuating, it goes  UP and down. It takes time also to wait for the good price to sell it or exchange to local currencies. If we get Bitcoin salary, maybe that time , we already gonna use it in all kinds of payments regardless that local currency.

If I could spend it on something interesting, it would be great.

Possibly in the event that I as of now have enough cash for my day by day needs in light of the fact that In the event that I my pay now is being paid by bitcoin it will wind up unpredictable so I dont need to spend it since I will simply be sparing it and will simply change over it when the esteem increases.Specially when the esteem drop down I will never spend it and will simply hold it as much as I can.

Yes, I definitely do it. It's alot of money.

well I believe it's better to pay part of the salary in bitcoin, not the whole one. Because otherwise people are forced to immediately exchange their bitcoin to fiat, as you can't really spend bitcoin in daily life. That is forcing the price down eventually.

True, if this would be applicable for some campanies this is a good advertising for bitcoin too.. But as of the moment while there is no clear status of the government on the usage of bitcoin in daily transactions i dont think this will be beneficial to all. Many people has not yet been introduce of what is bitcoin in the first place., Some might find fiat money something that they are use of holding physically might be preferrable over it's use than that of bitcoin. In the future if there is a clear case of the government over bitcoin and everyone understand what it is then i think this is very convenient and relevant to all.

Well, its very good because you can earn bitcoin or money when you still student. I am not lucky like you who know this bitcoin world earlier because i am bit late to invest and also learn regarding bitcoin. I am so regret but i can not do anything.

Hi,

For the moment, I think it is impossible to get paid full wage with only crypto... You won' be able to use them for your daily needs, so you will be obliged to turn (at least) part of it to fiat currency. ANd you will pay for that. So I guess it is better to be directly paid in fiat money and, maybe, turn part of it into crypto..

This is not the first thing I read/see about being paid in crypto... But I would say that actually most of it is merely a company betting on announcement effect to attract young graduates.. And in most Western countries, I guess it is not even possible to do it, as crypto are neither legal (nor illegal, though, just ignored)! ;)

Ive watched the video and its obviously more employees want to have a cryptocurrency salary than fiat. Its nkce to hear that random people around the globe are aware to the existence of cryptocurrency. Heres my opinion, i like the idea that employees would be paid by cryptocurrency but only just a portion or a half i think. Employees need to have fixed income for expenses and cryptocurrency salary just depends on its value.

That is really good and interesting to hear, but i think currently it is not so easy to apply, may be in some modern countries where bitcoin is too much popular and everyone know about bitcoin and even know how to use it, but still it is not so easy because we cannot currently use bitcoin for everything to buy, therefore we will need to convert our bitcoin in fiat for purchasing such thing, i think it will take some more time when people will like to get their salary in bitcoin.

I don't think I'm going to use bitcoin to pay for it, because it might be legal.
I don't want to go to jail. ;D

Salary paid in Bitcoin? it,s really very difficult idea .but if we decide do it  i think many people interested and work with bitcoin and we paid salary in bitcoin .for this community many project will must be success and people work with happiness.

Looks like not good because as of right now the security of wallet is not that fully protected and it might hack by other bad people. Also, the price of Bitcoin is flactuating our salary might decrease its value after we received it from our employers. That is good idea but we must think first of how safe our salaries are.

Yes, why not! It would be great if salaries are paid along with fiat currency but before that, I think it is the responsibility of the company to build awareness not only about cryptocurrencies but also about the responsibilities while using crypto. In many countries, banks are restricting crypto trades so it should be optional in my opinion and employee should take the decision if he wants his salary in crypto or in fiat or partially in both.

Deffenetly no bitcoin is already in crisis and it always includes risk and volatile nature in its value. So no one will risk with their hard work  fees.Salaries are the basic components for a common man they never take a risk on that even if it's in my case also.

This is a pretty cool idea. However I don't think I could accept a full paycheck in BTC. But similar to how you can set up to deposit portions into savings account it would be cool to have 10-20% paid off in bitcoin. That would be a solid investment plan.

I think It is depending on the person who will receive the paycheck , My friend who is my current partner in our job is receiving a full cash salary and he is converting the 80% of his salary into bitcoin because he wants to invest his money and make some profit into bitcoin. We both know it is risky for him because he only left 20% of his paycheck that is cash and he need to spend less because he only have 20% for his expenses.

Some people take risk for a good profit or bad losses.

Yes it is very good chance to have bitcoin for almost free because now government is taking good interest in bitcoin so I hope that day will come very soon when we will see the legality of bitcoin, for me the bitcoin currency is very important so I think it makes our economy well and good  if we will start the system for bitcoin as salary then it will increase the value and the demand of bitcoin as payment but I think this system will take a little time to be develop and to be introduce in my country, so I am very exciting for it.

With this instability, and with a downward trend obviously people will not accept it, but it is something that a medium-term future will see more frequently.

salary in bitcoin sounds very nice but the challenge there is what if you pay workers today and the price of bitcoin goes down the following day, this means the workers have been short payed

I often do writing work for various cryptocurrencies and that's fine. I wouldn't accept a full time salary in Bitcoin, though. Can you imagine what it would be like to have gotten paid in BTC or really, any cryptocurrency, at the end of 2017? If you didn't spend your entire paycheck immediately to pay bills, then whatever you didn't spend would have lost 50% of its value within six weeks. In other words, the market is way too volatile. Because of that you really can't count on cryptocurrencies to make a living with. But if someone figures out how to keep the price stable on their altcoin... well, then I'd be happy to accept it as a paycheck.

I would be interested in getting paid in bitcoin. but I prefer half in fiat and half in bitcoin, like company stock plan :)

I disagree if the payroll is made with the crypto token system.
I am afraid if the results of salary that is generated at this time crypto coin have increased while after receiving the salary crypto down.
This will affect the amount of salary when receiving and then after receiving the unequal value.

Like you said it's depending on circumstances between of employees and employer because some of people don't have ability to use crypto and some of them are hard to understand about cryptocurrecy.  I think this type is long discussion because theres a lot of circumstances to consider.

Why not?  If i have more btc and there are some employees who are willing to be paid in btc. For me,  i love to work and paid with bitcoin because,  in bitcoin,  there is a great chance that the price of btc will rise.

No way.  What if you're paid and the value of BTC goes down, as it's recently been prone to do.
Instead of making $x, you're making $x- an unpredictable market.
Maybe half and half but only if it were a high-paying job.

If the company will implement a bitcoin salary, I think it wouldn't make a lot of difference since I'm very sure that companies will only pay btc equivalent to their usual monthly salary. The btc that they will give still varies on on the market price — meaning whether btc's price skyrocketed or fall down, they still give you a $500 worth of btc (just an example). If we look at the logic, companies only just convert your salary into crypto nothing more nothing less.

In my opinion, i still prefer fiat over crypto when it comes in this kind of topic because it's price is more stable, doesn't need anything more (e.g. digutal wallets), accepted by all and lastly, provides more convenience for consumption.

I would like to receive my entire salary in dollars and nothing else and then to have the option to invest in what ever i choose is the best option, if not you will be limited in option when you are forced to collect a certain token of the choice made by my company and i do not want that to happen.

I know a few shops where the employees OCCASIONALLY take their salary in Bitcoins - it depends if they need cash in that moment or not and if in that period the Bitcoin price is rising or tanking.

Yes, why not ? as long as the cryptocurrency market accept USD-BTC pair, it is okay.
but for now, the market of crypto still unstable. it is better to sell them immediately after got paid with BTC.

Yes when we started working in a bitcoin it just like we are also working and having a monthly income just like we are working  in a regular kind of job

Yet.  Yet.  Let me tell you, there are very few people here who actually want bitcoin to be stable.  I think we'd have a huge drop in price before it ever leveled out for good, and at that point I think most people would have abandoned it.  That's the reality as I see it.

And hell no I would not want to get paid in bitcoin UNLESS I could buy everything I needed to with it, and fast.  Right now that just isn't possible without jumping through all sorts of hoops.  Why would I want to get paid in an unstable currency when fiat money is working just fine?  I don't think any rational person who doesn't have an emotional attachment to bitcoin would want to, either.  Yes, fiat might crash one day, but I suspect we're a looong way away from that happening.

If I need bitcoin, I'll buy it.  I sure as hell don't want my paycheck in bitcoin.

I currently get paid for my job in bitcoin.

My suggestion to those considering taking BTC for salary is to make sure you tack on a 3% surcharge to cover transaction and conversion fees.

Also, its not a bad idea to cash it out ASAP unless you can stomach the volatility.

If it is a bounty reward and still not indeed of money, then holding it till it increases is much better. But as an employee If my salary will be paid in BTC depending on what my salary in our fiat it will be fine, but if fixed btc I doubt if any employee accepts it since Btc is volatile.

This is possible because bitcoin is a good investment to hold although the price is having a hard time to increase it actually depends if what you are earning at work is what you are using for your daily expenses.

Well, yes, I agree, this is a good idea. So you will support your company and the whole of the Crypto currency, but it turns out your final salary depends on so many factors and it can both grow and fall wildly. Dangerous as I think.

I will still prefer cash payments for my salary. As we all know, there are only few things we can buy using bitcoin. Majority of payments still requires money or credit card so it will be a disadvantage if an employee will be paid using bitcoin. The only advantage I can see is when bitcoin suddenly goes up before payday. Its almost impossible to happen on the current market so I will still prefer cash. I can convert them to BTC anytime I want.

This heavily depends on the country where I am staying at. Assuming that my country exhibits acceptance and leniency towards bitcoin, I would ask my company to at least convert a partial of my salary as bitcoin though not everything. One thing to keep in mind before accepting bitcoin as a salary is its volatile and decentralized value. Currently, there are no laws catering to tax imposition to bitcoin and that would lead to another problem regarding income tax. Lastly, the value of bitcoin may change everyday which makes your earnings sensitive in its price.

If establishments and retailers begin to accept bitcoin as an alternative payment, receiving bitcoin as a partial of your salary may provide convenience into paying bills and monthly obligations.


Agree. The acceptance of bitcoin as your salary depends on cryptocurrencies' legal status among countries. If their existence is prejudicial and a threat to national standards, then imposition of world-wide bans may soon follow.

No. Earlier on I would have said it was OK for a portion of my salary to be paid in Bitcoin, but I prefer to have control over how I distribute my income. If I want to invest a portion of my money in BTC, then I can do it, but I would not want to have to deal with exchanges in order to convert BTC to fiat when I need to make every day transactions (sure I could convert a set amount to fiat for expenses, but I prefer to do it the other way around). Also it is too volatile, so at the moment I see BTC as a long term investment.

I think that's a good thing, just like a signature campaign whose salary is paid with crypto currency, it's just better to keep usd bench for example $ 100 / week in btc, because we don't know their coins whether it will be stable or fluctuating. But the bad effect is that if they don't have enough investors, it may decrease when the salary is paid because people will sell the salary they get in the form of crypto currency for their needs. But it will get better when they really develop the crypto currency they make and the salary we get can be directly invested.

I think this is a good method, salary based on cryptocurrency platform, but since the market is still not stable then it wouldn't be wise to stick with fiat for the meantime.

Nope, I have a real job. I don't consider Bounty Hunter to be a real job.

I would not gamble on BTC increasing in value. Last week my boss said I was getting bitcoin "cheap" at $7400....

Like I said, if you can convince your employer to tack on an extra % to cover cashout charges, and then you immediately cash out said BTC, it works just fine.

For me, this is too risky. Because the cryptocurrency has no stable price. And I cannot consider it as a real job. Cryptocurrency is good as a investment not salary payment.

As far as I know now, many people who turn in circles of cryptocurrencies receive a salary in them. So nothing surprising :) ;)

If you asked me a few months ago, preferably in May or June, when there was a huge hype with Bitcoin and crypto, I would definitely say yes, not because the price was rapidly rising, but because there was a lot of hype regarding it. Bitcoin was everywhere, on articles, on Twitter, on Facebook, on several popular websites, thus, it was almost certain that something optimistic was going to happen, and it did. Now however, the hype has died down, the prices have crashed and the general scene seems way too risky for anything.

This may be possible for some but for me, I'd rather take my salary in cash and I will be the one to buy bitcoin or any coins. Also, it would be difficult for companies because they have to pay huge amount of transaction fees. Likewise, once a wrong address will be put in, then it would be a greta lose for the company.

 yeah :o ::) ;D

Absolutely, this is too risky if the value is tremendously decreasing in the market but if the value would taking to its level where its promisingly good to the point of going moon, its definately you will become rich person in a coming days. In i guess i will do it this type of salary payment if the cryptocurrency is having a huge value in times.

This is a good idea although it actually depends on the needs of the individual. But having bitcoin as a salary is also a good opportunity for people to have an imvestment and a chance to also gain some profit. If this would be how my
Salary gets to be paid, it would be better.

Of course but the salary will depend on the status of bitcoin as well. And this will never become an investment because people need to cash out their bitcoins after completing a job.

maybe this will be interesting and should be done by all companies but if it can provide comfort and convenience for employees I think if the employee understands this will not be a problem and will help once because the company if paying employees using bitcoin then as an employee should be ready to accept it and me if it becomes a leader will do the same but must be based on a valid agreement ;)

Bitcoin for salary paid, i wont do it. Because bitcoin don't have a stable price, fiat is more use full for me because its easy to use and all market in the world is accepting it rather than btc only few merchant are accepting it as a payment. But If bitcoin can legalize all over the world i would accept it as salary paid.

Spending your money in right place is investment and not in the right place is loss. Try to use it in Bitcoin and start your journey with low rate as it is achievable at low rate and then sell at high price when the market goes high. This will earn a lot for you and that is so called good investment. Similarly a company can also take benefit from Bitcoin if starts investments in Bitcoin and also let the employees to take their salary in Bitcoins so that they also make their future better.

What, drugs and murder porn aren't interesting??

:D

No but really. You make a good point, noob.

+5 merits for you.

99% of the total market cap value of all crypto is speculation-based.

99.99% of the fools on this forum forget its supposed to be a currency and not a vehicle for investment.

if i would be paid bitcoin as salary, ill accept it if bitcoin that time will be the same thing as this time, bitcoin grows its value. if that happen then i would keep my salary and wait for its value to increase then i will claim it.

If this will be implemented on the companies, it must be your salary in fiat will be fixed and not the amount of bitcoin. Lets say your monthly salary is 100$. In the end of the month, they must give you 100$ worth of bitcoin so that you will be good. On the other side, if the basis will be in bitcoin lets say you will be given .03 BTC in the end of the month you will be in lost especially when the price of bitcoin crashed at the time they give you your salary. If this will be implemented, your monthly salary will be the basis and they will just pay you only in bitcoin.

Well, why not. I bet that bitcoin will be soon widespread so why not receive a salary through bitcoin. This can directly be invested to bitcoin. At the same time, spare money can be savings which can be converted to invesment.

If any company dares to pay for salary using bitcoin in my country, I would be a very enthusiastic person to apply for a job in the company because with a paycheck using bitcoin we can make an investment of half the salary that other workers cannot do companies that do not pay the salaries of workers with bitcoin.

Bitcoins can be used as a salary but the only problem is the transportation fee because it was very expensive sometimes depending on what exchanger you are placing your coins but i believe that it will be much cheaper in the future since the technology is improving.

Bitcoi is too volatile to be used as a salary currency. Thus you could never know how much excatly would you get.
Also to receive salary in bitcoin there should be some preconditions, like regulation and the law that enables this. Otherwise companies could not justify such actions and theymight have serious troubles with authorities. Or you could only receive your paycheck through some informal chanels which is not good.

hahaha. thats an innovative idea these days. but i prefer conventional money. paying your job with cryptocurrency will only adding your job (to analyze it wether you should sell or hold it tight). after all, not all people know and learn about cryptocurrency. why would they receive payments they didnt understand how to use it.

I don't think that a good idea for employers and employee.  Company's have to know their operating cost which includes salaries and the rise and fall of bitcoin price will affect that cost.  For employees who are expecting a certain amount of money for their salary to pay for their day-to-day expenses, that could be a problem. 

I think it have good impact and bad impact to employer. When people get paid and after that the price of bitcoin increase it is good for employe but in other side that will risky for employee

I would also love to get paid in cryptocurrency. It would be very convenient, I won't have to buy coins again.

well if that will be offer for me i will gladly accept that.
save it till the price pumps up.just like any other assets.
we will never know if thats the way to become rich in the future.itll be so cool if ever

well, so far I get the biggest salary from bitcoin. so many people are targeting to be paid using bitcoin because sometimes bitcoin gives bigger salary from real job. well, lots of people want to do that, but mostly it's a scam.

Exactly and nothing can be better than bitcoin, for me it is really good to have monthly salary as bitcoin because it is really worth to have it, not everyone know the process to buy bitcoin but if they will work and get salary as bitcoin then it will be an easy way for it, I think the bitcoin currency is the only currency which means a lot of everyone, so best idea I also want to work for the bitcoin to get as salary.

Perhaps this is another one of my little dream - to get paid in cryptocurrency. But while I don't even know where to find such work.

I will still prefer cash payments for my salary. As we all know, there are only few things we can buy using bitcoin. Majority of payments still requires money or credit card so it will be a disadvantage if an employee will be paid using bitcoin. The only advantage I can see is when bitcoin suddenly goes up before payday. Its almost impossible to happen on the current market so I will still prefer cash. I can convert them to BTC anytime I want.

I believe this will happen soon as the world accepts more cryptocurrency and I think bitcoin will be the right choice to pay the salaryman. Bitcoin will have a stronger chance of growth and will no longer be subject to the same volatility as many large corporations can afford to stabilize their payrolls.

I heard about it on some news paper's like that.some companies now going to pay bitcoin As salary.but i can't believe on it because bitcoin price falling so i don't think so people will accept it.And also i will not do.

I think the general consensus here is that people wouldn't accept their salary in cryptocurrency. Varying reasons are given, volatility being probably the most consistent one. I think the main reason people wouldn't (at least at the moment anyway) accept it, is because there is no need. We can get paid our salary in fiat currency, instantly available for everyday expenses, and then decide if/how much to invest in cryptocurrency on a month to month basis. Technically anyone who uses part of their monthly salary to buy cryptocurrency is basically getting paid in cryptocurrency, they just have control over exactly how much and which crypto to get paid in. Be interesting to see how opinion changes over the next few years, I can definitely see some companies paying only in crypto.

Salary paying through cryptocurrencies is a good decision because if a person can not afford to trade and invest through cryptocurrency then through salary paying cryptocurrencies companies he can afford to invest his salary in crypto and especially Bitcoin.

So do not consider it as like the market is going low and employers will reject to work on crypto currencies but in both cases if the market is going down or high employers should works and get Bitcoins. It would be another easy way of getting Bitcoins if companies use it as a salary.

Bitcoin is just the aim of the investment, I think it would not be right to reflect on business life. No firm will give money over bitcoin. Nobody accepts assets where prices are volatile. Neither the worker nor the boss.

There's nothing wrong if we get paid or our salary will come in bitcoin. I think it's new and innovative but at the same time it's risky too having our salary in bitcoin. The volatile of it's price makes bitcoin a risky salary for everyone because we can lose a percent of our salary in an instant or we can gain more if the price rise. I think in the future if some of the companies do paid in bitcoin they can think of a strategy on how they will send the salary.

Its not a new thing,  I already receive all my salary / earning in btc,  I also pay people who does any work for me in btc.  It is easier to work remotely when you receive salaries in bitcoin,  bitcoin make it easy for people in different countries work together and receive payment instantly without having to wait for over 7 days for a bank to pass the money through many 3rd parties and charge high fee.

As for me I don’t want to get all my income in bitocin, it’s too unstable and volatile today and the price could decrease unpredictably, so it would be better to acquire about 30 per cent in cryptocurrency and the rest sum by fiat money as usual.

No no please the change in normal currency will be a daunting task then. Why to get into a task that's so difficult to reach.

Price fluctuations for Bitcoin is the number one reason why employers and employees will hardly install such kind of policy in their companies in terms of salaries and wages. It may be good for the employees in the long run because the value of Bitcoin will certainly grow but since most of them are probably depending on their salaries, they could not hodl their Bitcoins for long. They need to convert them into fiat for their usual expenses. On the side of the companies, they are surely giving away a huge wealth if they pay all their employees in Bitcoin.

Getting paid in Bitcoin as lovely as it seems will come with its pros and cons. Pros for the fact that it will be less stressful sending out bitcoins all u need is workers Bitcoin address. Cons that Bitcoin price is unstable. You pay a certain amount and price drops drastically... not good for the employee that needs certain amount to get something done. It's complicated

One of japan's company is paying their employees with bitcoin
Sure i do not mind accepting bitcoin as my salary but just half of it
i will keep it as an investment for future purposes
I think this will be implemented sooner or later world wide if all of the people accept and recognize bitcoin

Paying of bitcoin as a salary to the employee is good if it is not for daily consumption, because when the price was down in the market there's a possibility employee lost some of their salaries due to the market movement. Just like you played gambling if your salary paying bitcoin a very high fluctuation may cause good effect or either bad effect. That's why they much prefer an exact rate or fix rate salary to avoid losing to the employee.

I would not like to receive a salary in BTC, because there is no stability in the course
Perhaps in the future, it would be a nica way of payment
I hope that the cryptocurrency will continue to develop, and we will see official salaries in bitcoins

In the future we will be given an option on what currency we want to receive as our salary.
AFAIR, I read a news before that Coinbase are giving their employees an option on what currency they want to receive for their salary so I believe
it's possible because bitcoin is money and liquid.

If my employer would pay me bitcoin, I would not complain because it is teaching me how to invest.

Bitcoin and altcoin are good currencies in investing, but for a salary in crypto not convincing to me, not a good idea, it would be very risky because the price of cryptocurrency is unstable. Currently crypto is only suitable for investment and other transactions but not for payroll.

I would accept bitcoin as payment, only bitcoins. Though I would like to have it as
an option since it's volatile, it's quite good receiving bitcoins if prices were right
and the market is going green. But to some I think bitcoin might work well as payment,
just like signature campaigns here, mostly it's BTC regardless of price conditions.
It could very well work no doubt.

For know i think if not required to, i don't want to get paid on bitcoin because the price still unstable.
I prefer fiat for now because everything can be buy with fiat, but not bitcoin. but i don't know in the future.

If me had no problem with bitcoin salary just based on the dollar the salary was not fixed bitcoin. As a result, the potential of the market is faster the movement during the pay day. The bitcoin market scenario adds c employers to the purchase order and the employees will also be added to the selling order adding it to the marketcap of the crypto currency. It's a big advantage to BTC's hodlers.

Remember the BOUNTY CAMPAIGN in this forum is a job but the salary is crypto currency there is no problem with the bounty hunters who crypto the salary not a traditional money

if you mean the cryptocurrency is bitcoin, i would be very glad to get my salery on it. but somehow, it is kind a little scary if we take salary on token just like you explain. as we know that bitcoin has a very strong position on cryptocurrency, so that we can keep it hoping that one day the prise would climb up high. But for token, i think we should think many time to take it as our salary, as it is new coming, and yet have strong position.

One major negative factor is that not all people in a company may know about bitcoins. And if you give them bitcoins they may not properly handle or care for it. Loss of private keys and sharing of passwords might make them loss their money. This can only be practical in a company where all the people are first properly trained to handle bitcoins.

is it not a disadvantage? because if this month we are paid with bitcoin which in high price condition of course if exchanged with FIAT can be many, but if bitcoin price next month down, of course we can get little, while the amount of bitcoin same but value to FIAT always change

I think paychecks using bitcoin seem to be very profitable and I think it does not matter if the employee accepts payments using bitcoin so you should be able to ask the employees or workers you want to pay if they accept payments using bitcoins or not, if they accept then you can use bitcoin as payment.

This may be a bit difficult if applying bitcoin as a salary, because bitcoin prices tend to be unstable.
Imagine if an employee earns their salary of $ 300 in bitcoin, then suddenly the bitcoin prices fall by 10%. I think that obviously will affect his salary income.

paying the workers using bitcoin is certainly a very good thing and I think in japan there are many workers who receive payments using bitcoin but you should ask some of the workers you have whether he / she accept payment using bitcoin or not so they are not disappointed with the pay that they get.

I can probably agree with that, I mean there are benefits when you get paid in bitcoin, if your salary was paid in bitcoin as of now the Government won't have the ability to put that in your tax which means you'll be paid without losing anything, but again countries like Japan whose legalized bitcoin, I am not quite sure if bitcoin is now covered or not, but again if you will be paid in bitcoin that is one great advantage and an offer I won't be able to reject.

I'd take it. I love bitcoins and I have no problems with having my salary paid in bitcoins you know. For me I would prefer being paid in bitcoins to being paid in fiat

yes but only if it is accepted as a national currency in my country or better still the company in which i work at

Why you're so afraid of them, transactions in Bitcoin is absolutely unable to track so your goverment won't know and can't do anything about it also because they don't have a proof for it at all. And 1 more good thing you should know when you're receiving Bitcoin as your salary , you won't have to pay the tax , that's the best thing.

Yep, it can be used as payment method, and well, I think that this is the future

This is a good idea although it actually depends on the needs of the individual. But having bitcoin as a salary is also a good opportunity for people to have an imvestment and a chance to also gain some profit. If this would be how my
Salary gets to be paid, it would be better.

Paying of bitcoin as a salary to the employee is good if it is not for daily consumption and if you give them bitcoins they may not properly handle or care for it. but again if you will be paid in bitcoin that is one great advantage and an offer I won't be able to reject. That's all

If bitcoin have a stabilize price. It really good to being paid with btc. But in the time like this when bitcoin are so violated i think is very riskier to have paid with btc. Still a lot to do if going into that

I would only do it if they were paying me more than my typical salary in btc value to compensate for the volatility.

It looks kinda good because it can be also an investment for me since its value changes very fast like in just almost a week bitcoin has a new value already which is either increased or decreased. But there are some cases that its value changes in even a day so if I have been paid by it and not be able to convert it to my local cash and its value has decreased then it would be my loss same with gaining when i converted it at its increased price then that would be great. Judging those aspects have got me into not accepting bitcoin as a salary because of the uncertainty that it gives when it comes to the value. Yes it may cost gain but still everyone needs a cash that is valued on how you worked.

If I received the salary in bitcoin or any other crypto, I would just want to hold it in the hope that their price might rise higher and won't actually use it as the fiat. But there could be times while holding that the cryptocurrency could crash down or fall drastically and I could be in dire need of money, that could be a possibility, right? So it is better not to have anything volatile as a salary. But there could be a way like a salary could be divided into parts. Like 20% in crypto and rest in fiat.

Paying of bitcoin as a salary to the employee is good if it is not for daily consumption, because when the price was down in the market there's a possibility employee lost some of their salaries due to the market movement. Just like you played gambling if your salary paying bitcoin a very high fluctuation may cause good effect or either bad effect. That's why they much prefer an exact rate or fix rate salary to avoid losing to the employee.

I think that's interesting enough, maybe now there are still a few who do it, but sometime when bitcoin gets known people they will want to work with paid bitcoin. If you need cash you can just melt some bitcoins and all becomes easy.

i think is good if bitcoin price raise up but if bitcoin price go down its not great cause maybe is not Comparable to the hard work done. But even there i really support if a company payment the salary for they worker in bitcoin

Yes, It is much better if my salary will be paid in bitcoin because its like a direct investment. Whenvitxoin price pump then I can get more profit. But I think it depends on the worker if he/she was using bitcoin or not. It will be easy to receive from our boss or manager even wherever we are.

It dose not matter how the social media see cryptocurrency  but the fact is that it pays more than the monthly salary of some bank workers and civil servants.

That would be very lovely because i could invest in Bitcoin with my salary . I actually have a plan for this situation , i have enough money for daily living in the next 5 years and i wish that all my salary will transfer to me through Bitcoin so i won't have to pay for the buying fee.

Yeah, It's not important how they see Bitcoin for sure, it's important in our view only because if we lose our hopes, our trusts then Bitcoin would turn into a really bad situation.
Sometimes , you have to trust blindly into somethings and it will bring back a huge result for you.

Although we want to get our galary in bitcoin, but now now, in future when bitcoin will become too much popular and when we will become able to use  bitcoin for everything we want, in  fact in currency time we cannot use bitcoin for everything we want, but currently most of the people still do no tknow about bitcoin, when bitcoin will facilitate us too much and when we will become able to use bitcoin for everyting then we will surely like to to get our salary in bitcoin.

I would like, that 30-50 percent of my salary gave out in bitcoins. It would be the excellent investment.

There is a small possibility right now because not everybody in the business is into bitcoin. It means you have to trade your monthly income just to convert it into fiat. How could we deal with the market fluctuations. This is impossible right now but maybe in the future.

We may not be far away from a time when it becomes possible to simply use bitcoin for the majority of your transactions. If you live in a place where crypto debit cards work freely, then you really only need fiat for physical cash on hand for very minor transactions if at all.

I am working as a web developer in the corporate and i am willing to accept if my company will pay me in a cryptocurrency mode because the price is still increasing in the market so i think that bitcoin as a salary is a good idea.

Good idea but its complicated for now as some people don't believe in bitcoin and some don't have idea about it.

Well if my boss give me salary through bitcoin it will be like direct investment.but i will accept only if even the price of bitcoin for the time of salary is low or high still will follow the equevalent of bitcoin to cash.so its up to me if i will withraw it or still hold it so that if the time of my salary the bitcoin price is low if i hold have chance to earn as well.

No I wouldn't accept salary in bitcoin because I violates a lot so we wouldn't be able to pay some bills and to fullfill our needs.

I get too little for my salary in bitcoin. And besides, you get a job at 12,000 and in the end get 7,000 I'm not very pleased. I would not like to receive my salary in bitcoin

I think it's a pretty neat idea to let people earn bitcoins for a living. It's a great investment for both employer and employee. It keeps investments sustainable and by far attainable at both parties. I hope future employers would think like this and compensate their employees like this.

This is very difficult. The market price of bitcoin fluctuates continuously. And when the bitocoin price goes up too, this will cause losses for businesses to pay by bitcoin. But if we develop an ICO case on this issue, then I find it more reasonable.

I think that this is nonsense. Why take wages in the crypto currency, if after receiving wages, you can invest in the crypto currency.

The idea of a payroll using bitcoin, I think that's an interesting idea. Salary for unlimited workers on conventional money alone, but extends to crypto money as well. The more usable mediums, the easier it will be for us in many ways. So our choices are various.

Really great idea. I hope employers do these kinds of things to promote a healthy investment thinking employee. Employers should be paying their employees with cryptocurrency but still, employees would still be aching for cold hard cash instead of digital currency. We just need to develop cryptocurrency more for a lot of people to enjoy it.

salary paid in certain cryptos is quite difficult and extremly risky for an employer, as he might not be able to get the related cryptocurrencies the employees desire to get.

its better and easier to reward regarding percenteges of the total income of the company the employees are more motivated this way

I think it would become difficult if the salary is paid in the bitcoin. It can be very hard for those people who don't Know about he bitcoin and how it convert to fiat money. It will be hassle because you need an internet to access bitcoin and to convert it to the country money you need an application. So i don't think it will a good idea

wenn a business for example an online service earns 15 different cryptoucurrencies with its work it can either reward the workers on percentages,

its going to be a better future anyway as less people will then care for national currency but for the quality of the token style.

Its difficult to use bitcoin in salary because the price of a bitcoin is not stable what if the employer paid salary to employee and the price of bitcoin is going down the employee will receive not equal to their daily rate.

If it just for freelancer jobs, why not ?
but if it's a contracts job, which means paid every month.
I think that's not good since bitcoin price is fluctuative

Well, if they're up paying at least 1BTC per month I'd gladly accept it.  ;D

I do not think the bitcoin would pay you as a salary because bitcoin value sometimes  down and up rate what about if its getting drops sunddenly and it is your family s expectation for everyday expenses so your salary is actually not good . Its good to know if your salary is a bitcoin when if you have other source of income so you can expect to spend on your bill and pay bills at home.

Its a hard question would I accept it... Becouse you can never know, will you have a good salary this month, and so, you cannot plan your budget and expensions, lol

I think for this year or after 5 years , bitcoin as salary is not a good idea because bitcoin is not yet stable and not all citizen known about bitcoin. So it take time and years to inform and propely educate bitcoin. If the bitcoin is the salary , the transportation fare , commodities , rents ,etc need to use bitcoin as payment.

Definitely I'll do it because I believe if my salary will be interms of bitcoin it would have a chance to increase its value as long as I should learn to manage it properly. Receiving a salary through bitcoins is a great and awesome idea which everyone must grab.

I do not think this is a good idea, if they pay us with Bitcoin, the value of Bitcoin must be the same as paper money. For example, when the price of a bitcoin goes down, our monthly wages will go down at bitcoin prices, I do not think anyone wants this to happen.

It a good development one to the cryptocurrency network because it will created more confidence in the whole system and again it gives the employees the chance of owing an assets which can grow as the market get higher. And again the bitcoin being paid as a salary to the employees can either be change into faints paper money for onward use or hold as an assets which it is so at that the holder will have two advantage receiving bitcoin as a salary.

Paying salary using bitcoin would be a welcome development but it would've  been better if bitcoin is acceptable to buy or local transactions of all goods and services. This is because of inflammation of other currencies. This will also help to buy using bitcoin direct.

Honestly I am confused what will be my answer the other side of my brain will agree that I will be have a salary paid in bitcoin because I knew that it will be a great chance for me to earn bitcoin and its a great investment but the other side will disagree what if that the only way for me  to get my daily needs and also to my family is only my salary and at that time bitcoin is so in dip would I be willing to take the risk and it convert it into fiat money? I think there will be lots to consider if this will happen..

I don't like the idea much because of some reasons:

-> Firstly, the value of bitcoin keeps on fluctuating and then it won't serve as a stable or fixed source of income. In times of downfall in the value of the crypto currency, what will become the secure means of income for us and our families,. how would we get to meet the daily expenses, if the value of bitcoin falls below the minimum basic level as it was a few days back?!? Then it is very risky, of course!!

-> Then if our salary would be paid in bitcoin, then this income will be liable to taxation at the rate of the salary tax.

-> Plus bitcoin is not even accepted as a means of legal tender in our country.

-> Then thereafter, the transaction fees is way too high.

This would seriously push bitcoin forward. I would be happy to get paid in cryptocurrency. And it would greatly improve my investment capital.

iam doing salarys like bountys and offerwalls for btc very day .
its a good free way to make some satoshis :D



regards

This is certainly beneficial for me as an investor, but unfortunately, with bitcoin you cant just go to the store, and this is a serious obstacle.

Hello everyone, at present bitcoin has too much volatility, so I can not imagine what I can pay workers in bitcoins. But in the future I think it's possible!

Great idea but it takes a lot more research to do so. We have to consider first how much the salary will be deducted due to the transaction fees occuring when transferring bitcoins. Also consider the cost of how much time wouls be consumed to transfer bitcoins.

Bitcoin pay is now accepted by many employees because it has a lot of room to grow.

But some people think that the price of bitcoin is very unstable, not suitable for employees' salary, and if the market falls, they will lose their money.
