To be honest, if you can comfortably afford to take your wage in Bitcoin then it's probably a smart idea. Dollar cost averaging has so far been king.
^ Yes, this is one of the best things to do if you want to accumulate Bitcoin especially in price like now.
Instead of buying using your fiat currency, why accept your wage in Bitcoin.
But then again, it will also differ on every country, just like in US, said by the OP that it's not yet possible to take a wage Bitcoin directly, but they can always conver those USD received to Bitcoin once they have it already.
