Japan's economy is one of the world's leading economies. I think that in the future when Bitcoin will become more stable it will be easier for them to pay their salaries to Bitcoin.
I love the idea of this company even if they know the volatility of Bitcoin, it will even give positive to other developed countries about virtual currency.

I think that this is not permanent and this is just sort of experimentation for their company if what will be the come up in the future if they will just pay salaries using bitcoin and i think that it is risky to pay salaries in bitcoin because the employees might complain because of the volatility of bitcoin might decrease or lessen their salary in terms of valuing in fiat.

TOKYO: A Japanese company will start paying part of its employees’ salaries in Bitcoin, as it aims to get better understanding of the virtual currency, a spokeswoman said on Friday.
GMO Internet, which operates a range of web-related businesses including finance, online advertising and internet infrastructure, will start paying up to 100,000 yen ($890) monthly by Bitcoin to its employees in Japan from February next year.
“Employees can receive salaries by Bitcoin if they want to,” company spokeswoman Harumi Ishii told a French wire service.
“We hope to improve our own literacy of virtual currency by actually using it,” she said.
The offer will be open to around 4,000 employees of the GMO group in Japan, she said.
The company started a Bitcoin trading and exchange business in May.
And next month, it will join the so-called “Bitcoin mining” business — gaining the right to receive new Bitcoins as a reward for helping keep the network secure by approving transactions.
World Bitcoin prices have surged globally this year, soaring from less than $1,000 in January to $17,000 this week.

Yes, bitcoin is popular in Japan, and it's a great way for Japanese companies to pay their salaries in bitcoins. I think it's great that more Japanese companies will pay their salaries in bitcoins in the future.

This news is old yet it gives us a glimpse of what future brings when bitcoin is accepted in the community. Eventhough bitcoin is not that popular all over the globe but in Japan it is like next to their fiat money that is why some companies accept bitcoin as their way to give salary.

That’s a good news. Japanese are really more advanced in technology among all the other countries. This is a good start. Bitcoin will gain more popularity because of that since Japan has almost always been the leader of innovation. As a result, other countries will begin to think of considering of doing the same thing.

I think not everyone will like it. And I think that this is not right. The person himself must decide whether he wants to invest his money in bitcoin and use it. I hate when someone imposes something on me

When I heard the news, I was not surprised that Japan, as the most developed area of cryptocurrency in the world, was always at the forefront of the development of cryptocurrency. The Japanese government supports bitcoin's development, so it shouldn't be surprising that bitcoin is being welcomed in Japan.

Japan is the leading country in term of crypto adoption so it's not rare to see them become the first one to implement this kind of move. They have a lot of merchants who accept bitcoin so it's not a problem receiving the salaries in bitcoin. japan is strongly supporting bitcoin and if such news that bitcoin is starting accepting bitcoin as a salaries then i think that is the best step for bitcoin. That step will make reputation of bitcoin in the world.
