When paychecks are in BTC, it will be easy to sell goods for BTC.

Yeah, but will people want to receive their paychecks in BTC? Do they get to chose whether to receive their pay in BTC or will they have to adapt? I guess most people will still stick to their regular FIAT currency!


Yes, they will.  The majority of people will want paychecks in BTC when they see many other people have paychecks in BTC.  Who will jump on board first?  The innovators, the risk-takers, and the wealthy, just like it's always been.
I disagree with this. people will want to get paid in bitcoin if they can easily spend their bitcoin and the value is stable. Just because most people get paid a certain way does not mean others will want to join the bandwaggon.

As cool as it may sound getting paid in bitcoin I don't have the faith or confidence in it right now to do so. I like being able to buy as little or as a much as i like per month and this depends on certain actors like the price etc. I think getting paid wholly in bitcoin could be disastrous if we go by recent events and for that reason it is still a very risky experiment and not one I'd like to gamble all my monthly wage on.

You don't fit into the category, then...

Also, the more people that get paychecks in BTC, the more demand and liquidity increase.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.
