I wasn't aware that Amagi Metals are so bullish on bitcoin: http://www.coindesk.com/gold-dealer-amagi-metals-now-pays-staff-bitcoin/Precious metals dealer Amagi Metals announced it is now paying its entire staff in bitcoin via payroll service provider Bitwage. They don't pay 100% of wages in BTC though: Every employee at Amagi Metals has set a percentage of their paycheck, both big and small, that they wish to be paid in bitcoin. To demonstrate his support, Macaskill will personally be paid roughly $40,000 of his salary in bitcoin this year. Good to hear they didn't enforce it on everyone and it was completely voluntary. The move forms part of the company's plan to 'divorce' the US dollar by 2017, where it will stop accepting the fiat currency as payment method. That's a bold statement. Hope it works fine for them. Thoughts?

Nice. If only every company adopts the same approach like what AM is doing. Even on my own, what I do is I set aside a certain percentage of my salary into a specific investment fund which I'm currently using it to buy bitcoin.

This guy was able to pay one of his bills through there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn90C5tV2JM&feature=youtu.beBasically put the explanation in the additional details portion and get it paid. I still need to test brawker.

It's all about timing. And I'm guessing most of them opted for small % of their salaries to be paid in bitcoin anyway.

Nice to see this, now the price needs to have a valid and the necessary reaction to such a thing.
Many companies are now accepting and paying in bitcoin.

The price will react on its own. I am sure as bitwage.co gets more and more people switching over to people getting paid in Bitcoin the price will have to rise to accommodate the demand.

Getting paid in BTC in the fundamental for BTC to be a success. Right now getting BTC is very difficult outside buying it directly in a exchange which defeats the purpose of a legit economy. I wish I could get a big salary in BTC for work.

Just think that if getting BTC would have been so easy like you said you wish to get a big salary in BTC for your work, then who will value BTC and why? What exactly would be behind BTC that would push it ahead if it's so easy to be achieved?

(Dollar cost averaging is a perfectly sensible concept though) The dots show buys, even while other people may be panicking or over excited, they purchase at regular intervals no matter the emotional state of the market. Doing so gives you an average price you pay out over time. Here is one with the words dollar cost averaging in it: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.toolsformoney.com%2Fdollar_cost_averaging.gif&t=665&c=igyoFHa47fOJUA)
