An unemployed dude comes to your house to ask for off jobs, say to throw away your thrash and mow the lawn. You had no cash but he owns a bitcoin wallet and asks to be paid in bitcoins. Would you pay in bitcoin?

Yes of of course, a simple and small transaction like that could help bitcoin network a lot, keeps it running all the time with all the micro transactions in the world. I will only do it when I don't have a cash on me, well I do have cash most of the time.

Usually I will pay with lunch or dinner, if I don't have cash, because if I pay for bitcoin it seems a bit unsafe because I'm a person who always has to maintain the privacy of bitcoin ownership, so maybe I can only feed him or borrow cash to people close to me

Yes, if I have a lot of bitcoin, I will pay with bitcoin if he has a bitcoin wallet and the payment I will pay with bitcoin depends on how many hours, lots and area of grass he cuts.
because he asks for payment for bitcoin is not fiat and in my opinion it doesn't hurt because I appreciate it because he knows bitcoin and of course he's a bitcoiner.

yes I would be very happy if bitcoin can be used for payments anywhere, because I still rarely use bitcoin as a payment in the real world. a good choice for the employee, wanting to receive money with bitcoin, it could be a good investment for him in the future.

Technically yes, but this would not be true for everyone. I mean those people who are buying Cryptocurrencies through fiat would never do such a thing as crypto for them is Investment. I think it's convenient only for those people who earn in Cryptocurrencies and then spend them in Cryptocurrencies because it saves them from an additional step of redeeming them into fiat.

[Reid]

I might.
But if the transaction fee will be larger than what I will pay for then it would be better off with cash. Right?
Also, that might happen since the worker would want the bitcoin to reflect already in his account before he will go.
So that means taking the fee to a higher price to make it faster.

But if we are talking about a larger price then I might really do it, also just for fun.
I love hoarding more bitcoins but there is a moment that we also want to spend it to something.

[maxreish]

Definitely not. I wouldn't pay bitcoin for odds jobs unless I don't have any physical cash with me. Since I prefered btc as an investment and I am a holder, I am not comfortable to pay btc especially when the market is in bearish. Well, the fees are high so I preferred to pay in fiat.

But I am an open minded person, so I think it always depends in  a case to case basis.

I think it will be happen when whole world will use it as a currency .I will not pay him to btc cause btc is a valuable coin and i don't want to exchange it for low amount .I always have a level to expense it .

Yeah, why not? Especially that job isn't paying too much so definitely I could go for it and treat it as a little help.
However, I'll tell him that the transaction could take long as I'll be putting the fee to lowest. 
Haha just kidding but seriously hope he wouldn't complain though.

Does it make sense if he wants to be paid using Bitcoin while his job just throwing trash and mow the lawn?? hmmm, maybe as long as I have Bitcoin it doesn't matter. Because for me,  it's a bit uncomfortable if I have to pay using Bitcoin when I don't have Bitcoin. Especially if the work is only mowing the lawn, then I think it is better to give cash.

There are too many plot-holes in this question, a guy just shows up and asks me for a job, ok then fine, perhaps we can work out an arrangement of some kind, I'm not a business man or anything but do believe in helping people out. The part which scares me is the fact that the guy knows I have Bitcoin  , or at least he assumes I do. What if I didn't know about Bitcoin, i'd probably inquire with him about what it is exactly, but that would lessen his chances of getting the job if he needs to explain how I'm supposed to pay him, no? He should be thankful to be offered a job, not be bold enough to demand a certain kind of special payment that require one to learn, taking time and energy to do so. Most people would turn him away if they weren't up to date with Blockchain  & Cryptocurrency technology. They'd say what about being paid in cash?

I will use bitcoin as a payment option for all kinda off job in as much that the person working for me is willing to accept it. I see nothing wrong with paying someone with bitcoin for an off job.  Using bitcoin as the payment option is no different from using fiat currency to pay people for their services they provide you. It is only people who don't understand the use and purpose of bitcoin will have a problem with paying off jobs with Bitcoin.

Indeed because they also have some value and I think that it be good because it is more convenient for them but we have different levels of perception, some of you may think that it is not worth it to pay in bitcoin but isn't that a good opportunity to make people analyze the real value of a digital currency. I think i'll do it too as long as he did his job pretty well then we will not have any problem.

[Beparanf]

Nothing wrong with it, bitcoin was created as alternate cash. I actually like to try paying direct bitcoin qhen I go shopping in our country, however, no merchant here accepts bitcoin yet. In time I guess we can use bitcoin anywhere even like your example or paying restaurant bills, tips, fare or any daily routine we do we can integrate crypto and soon will.  Be threating bitcoin as a normal means for transaction.

We can eventually do it once the market felt better, government accepts it and when people are knowledgeable on how it works. I'm paying my friends sometimes with btc when I ask some favor or do a sideline job for me with BTC, though they don't trade they just accept it and they plans to keep it till they see it increase in value as long as they don't be needing an extra money. There's no problem in paying with bitcoin as long both parties accepts the method.

Well, it is logical that I have to pay since I accepted him to do a job for me, and yes, I do not mind paying the guy with Bitcoin.

Of course not!... I can answer with no doubt)))) I would pay may to a friend of mine for something in case I would not have money to pay for. But I would do it only in case my friend understand that the amount in Bitcoin today may appear to be because of the price flactuation quite another amount tomorrow or in some days. In order not to face such a problem that my friend will found out it and come to me in order to say that I am a fraud... or that he list a lot and now regret about our deal...

Probably not because Bitcoin is now expensive unlike before. Probably I'll use my altcoins to pay him, I am pretty sure that he has a wallet for altcoins since he knew about Bitcoin then perhaps he had knowledge towards other cryptocurrencies. Besides, I consider Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as an asset, not a regular currency due to the fact that they are not stable.

I will say "no" firmly. This relates to my principle, Bitcoin is more effective as an investment tool than as a payment tool. I do not want to make it in vain, moreover, there is still a more effective fiat for payment. Even though the scenario that the OP created doesn't have a fiat, I will definitely try anyway. Come on, we certainly have priorities, determine which is effective.

I'm okay with that.. I will agree if there are employees who ask for a salary with a payment of Bitcoin, but the rate must be dollars.  for example, I pay him/her $400 /month but I pay his salary with Bitcoin.  Bitcoin prices change fast, I just don't want him to get more or less value when exchanged to fiat if I pay with Bitcoin.

As bitcoin enthusiasts, you already understand what is Bitcoin. If someone offers but doesn't know what is Bitcoin, of course, they might be refuse the offer. Well, I say yes. But at the same value of the amount should going to pay. For example, if my salary was $50 then the value of bitcoin should into that amount. No one will refuse even how bitcoin being volatile if the receiver is also crypto enthusiasts too. I will accept the offer and for me, it the same value with cash/fiat.

[Eclipse26]

I would doubt at first because that was so strange and unexpected, someone will offer you to throw your trash in exchange for bitcoin... But if in that simple way, I can help someone even with a small action, then I will accept it and will pay him with bitcoin. If I can see that he's in need of some money. But my other mind says, I might doubt him because he knew something about it but he has no money. I might think of him as someone trying to hypnotise me just to get my bitcoin. I dunno.
