i don't think i would want all my pay in bitcoin just yet, the market can be very volatile. BTC could easily lose 10-20% overnight and a $1000 weekly pay check might be $100-200 lighter. Would make it hard to budget.

Getting paid in bitcoin is a huge step in making the economy grow, quite possibly the biggest single thing.

Agreed. I've been saying this for a while, especially over the past 6 months as people have been trumpeting the various merchant-acceptance announcements. That's obviously a great thing long-run too, but the situation has gotten too lopsided, and we need more bitcoin wages. Love seeing the Bitwage launch. Hopefully this and BitPay's Payroll API will start to close the loop... I would say that we need to see more merchants accept bitcoin that also offer some kind of discount/incentive for paying in bitcoin. If people are paid in bitcoin, but have no incentive to actually spend their bitcoin in the bitcoin economy then they will simply sell their newly acquired bitcoin on exchanges |

It's much easier to exchange fiat for bitcoins myself and I wouldn't want a bankaccount at some new unproven-to-be-safe bank.
This looks as an effort to centralize things and should not be trusted blindly.

Right now, I'm paid in bitcoin through my bitcoin signature campaign, but still I don't see many good shops or merchants, where I can spend this earned bitcoin. So, mostly, I still have just 2 choices, to keep this bitcoin or withdraw. |

someday people might not have a choice. they will just get paid in Bitcoin by default.
|
If it can be digitized, it should be decentralized

I wouldn't mind having a certain percentage of my monthly salary converted to bitcoin. I think there is a way to do this with coinbase?

You can do that with bitwage.co, check the OP. Does your direct deposit allow you to put a percentage into multiple bank accounts? |

At the moment, I'm paid for my signature campaign. It will be great one time in the future, to be paid in BTC for my regular job, to receive my monthly salary in BTC Of course, main condition for this will be to be able to spend this bitcoin everywhere, like dollar or Euro today. |

It is also risky to get your pay check in fiat. Ask anyone in Russia...

I find it a little bit to risky at this moment. I prefer dollars or euros and spend the part i want to in bitcoins.

Shut up newbie-boy I'm the man. I made profits a year ago and now I'm the winner and those who came too late in the game and are still on the boat are Bob's food |
