I operate a web advertising directory that is quite different and holds a lot of the same principles as BTC. I am new to BTC, however.

The web directory functions similar to Adsense in that you insert some code on your website and ... voila ... you have an instant (with categories, links, management) web directory that you can fully brand to your website  ... and all free.

And your site visitors with their own websites can add their links for free or they can opt for better paid positions. When they add their link it is placed on every other web directory installation  too.

Ok, with that little bit of background info, the commission is currently offered in US dollars.

The question is: Suppose you were to add the web directory to your site, and made sales from it. Would you want your commission in BTC or currency?

Thanks

Well, getting paid in the local currency is much harder via internet.
For that bitcoin is the total winner.

Bitcoin, no doubt about it.
I've already started to convert every currency in bitcoin, automatically. It just got burned in my synapses, can't help it.
And if I had a choice, I would never want to see my local currency again.
In last 20ish years or so, I've lived through few different currencies, states/regimes/governments, so I've had Yugoslavian Dinar, Croatian Dinar, Croatian Kuna and as a newest fad, I'll get Euros. Three of those currencies turned out to be piece of crap, not even worth the paper they've been printed on. I hope same will happen with EUR. I'm not sure about bitcoin, but there are many reasons I would like it to replace every one of today existing currencies.

For me, bitcoin is freedom that I never thought I'd see in my lifetime.

bitcoin cause it is more of like getting paid in stock since the price can rise. So a job that would have paid like $50 paid ~16 btc when it was $3 is now worth ~$105 so that speaks for it self.

BTC so much win! Cheesy

If i receive in currency, dollar, euro or whatever i would have to pay taxes to government. With BTC not because would be like i receive money directly from hand to hand. Like barter. "I used your services and in return you gave me BTC(a coin that has no centralized control) a p2p coin!

So this is going back in time when people were exchanging packets of rice for two chairs and etc...
This is the future! Fuck the banks and taxes. What I produce I have the right to exchange for what I want, including horseshit, if I suddenly want!! Grin
The BTC will be, as is already an intermediary between the exchange of a product or service, like any other currency, but with the super advantage that  has no control of any government.
At least for now. But what can governments do? Prohibit the use of BTC? There's no way like there's no way anything that is p2p be stopped, like torrents. Close the internet? I doubt it.

Then the BTC and any other medium of exchange, or other cryptocurrencys, will be there forever!!
What people have to understand is that: the Soviet Union failed, the euro has failed, the united states economy failed(is a superpower that owes money to china and to Brazil? I do not think so...) What I mean is that we are going through changes in economy, politics and BTC appears to be a solution. P2P ideas that's the future. This however is what I think...

I would much rather be paid in bitcoins which are created securely through open, trusted cryptographic algorithms at a predetermined rate, than be paid in fiat dollars that are created out of thin air by the trillion at the whims of unconstitutional "central bankers" who counterfeit money and erroneously think they know how to manipulate the economy, whilst failing miserably and simultaneously debasing the currency.  BTC pwns USD Cheesy

I personally excited about how bitcoin payment system allows me to get transfers for my services not asking any official, not having any license from the burocrats, and getting into queues for any paper, and not showing anyone how much I earned.

This is truely the most fascinating and epic inventoin after the internet itself.
