If the pay was the same, would you rather get paid in bitcoins, fiat or a fixed percentage of both?


Also, would you be willing to sign up for a credit union that converted your bitcoins automatically by just giving your employer a direct deposit number?

As of the current real world usage,

I would have to get paid in fiat.

I would prefer to choose bitcoin, so I chose a % of each.

I don't think BTC has found its floor yet, so fiat plz.

i  like btc,SO I  Accept bitcoins payment

Bitcoin is too volatile and nearly everything is paid by fiat. I don't want to be charged when converting to fiat.

I'd like to get paid in fiat (for larger amount) until bitcoin becomes a stable currency. For smaller amount I don't see much harm to accept bitcoin.

I would chose a % of each maybe 40-50.

20% btc/ 80% fiat reflecting avenues for use. Would be happy to change the ratio as more ways to spend btc emerge in time.

I find it odd that the results of this poll and the poll asking about a Bitcoin Credit Union are so vastly different when they are both basically the same.

If your company is not willing to pay you in bitcoins (you can probably count on your hand how many will), a Credit Union direct deposit is the easiest way to achieve that.

I would get some Bitcoin and buy some precious metals with those coins just in case :P

I'd prefer to be paid in bitcoins.

I could then immediately convert some of the bitcoins to fiat myself if I found that I still needed to use some fiat.  At least that way, I'd be in control of what the percentage was that was converted to fiat with every payment received.

I agree, and i'll take it a bit further. I would rather be paid in bitcoins, and never had to convert to fiat, because fiat has been eradicated and the world uses cryptocurrency technologies to facilitate monetary transactions.

I'd prefer to be paid in % of both, btw everything will be related to the price and btc market status ;)

definitely bitcoins

Being a trader though I can choose this on my own already =P

Honestly I selected % of both.  You can't go "full retard" on getting paid in all Bitcoin at this juncture, not with the wild price swings of late.  Especially if you have mortgage, rent, bills, food, family, living expenses to pay off each month.

Until mass adoption, development, and technology (I know this is slowly happening and is underway) take off and BTC price stabilizes to an acceptable level, then you can't afford to gamble your livelihood while we're still in the "Innovation/early adopter" phase.

%. Currently I cannot buy food with Bitcoin here so going full Bitcoin I would need sell some Bitcoins to get fiat, and pay exchange fee  :)

I would definitely choose Bitcoin. Not only because I am a firm believer in it and its future, but because I could exchange what I needed to live as soon as I go it, and hold on to the rest of it, and trade. So not only will I get my needs met, but the thrill and bonus that trading alone and holding alone gives as well.

Definitely would rather get paid in bitcoin as long as i could pay rent and bill immediately to make sure the price didnt drop.  What would sweeten the deal would be more discounts for using bitcoin like gyft provide.

% of each... because you never knows if bitcoin  dramatically goes down and you lose a lot of money

I would be happy to go up to 50% in btc with a view to switching over completely when there is a large global btc market and adopter community

I would personally do 100% bitcoin.

I get paid in dollars in the US and live in Germany where I use euros. It is much easier converting bitcoins to euros than dollars.

I would get paid in bitcoins because I am a true believer

I would really love to join a signature campaign to earn some satoshis!
Bitcoin is too volatile to accept as salary.
Since you can easily convert FIAT to bitcoin there is currently no need for it.
When everybody is involved in Bitcoin, the volatility will be gone, and there will be a lot salalies being paid in bitcoin I guess.

Bitcoin, because it is going to skyrocket.

To this very moment I would say fiat, but in near future maybe and just maybe hoping for Bitcoin payment.

20% in BTC & 80% in fiat
because bitcoin price is still unstable  :(

But, if in few next year bitcoin price is rocket to the moon
I think it's okay to get paid 100% in bitcoin  :D

Ideally I'd get paid enough % in fiat to pay all my expenses and the rest in bitcoin. Not sure how it would work as the percentage would  have to change each month, a rough fixed percentage would be 80% fiat - 20% btc.

Would the 50+ people who answered that they would want to be paid all or a percentage in bitcoins be willing to do so by signing up for a credit union that would direct deposit into their bitcoin address?

Fiat, after seeing bitcoin crash like that...

no i don't.if i can get the BTC ,the same time i can get  flat, i would like.

Half an half

a flat percentage. cant keep all your eggs in one basket

Fiat,

Chances that BTC worth zero tomorrow is higher than the same with fiat.

I would have it 50/50 for sure. It is a hassle at times to change fiat to bitcoins and opposite.

As long as you are getting paid, then its all good :)

I would love bitcoin :)

I would take 50% of both since bitcoin price is highly unpredictable and unstable these days, otherwise I'd love to get paid 100% in bitcoins.

Bitcoin, then convert the coin to cash on exchange.


Main reason being I can easily convert back and move to another exchange.
