i havnt been paid in fiat for 2 years.
just pure BTC ever since 2012
not sure if that's cost efficient though.. if you need fiat, that means you have to cash out and pay the exchange fee. it ends up costing you more, doesn't it?
nope. i hoard most coins and the dollar value i was given as my yearly salary for 2012. is now worth so much more.
basically one week i was given 60bitcoins as a weeks wage in 2012. that one weeks wage is now($36k) covering my rent and food bill for this whole year and next year. and i still have alot more coin for from the other 120+ weeks of 2012-upto now. so i am happy.
and ofcourse i threw 1% of my hoard into exchanges and day traded into extra profit. so basically.. what i spent this year hasnt really touched my initial income.
and lastly, most of my life essentials are paid by bitcoins so converting to fiat is not my problem, as thats left with the landlord/merchants i deal with to decide what they do with the bitcoin received. but it sure does feel good to be handed 60btc 2 years ago for a week. and only have to hand out decimal amounts of singular btc to pay for food or rent
