Topic: Are any of you paid your salary in crypto? What's it like? - page 4. (Read 740 times)
it seems to me that even if they pay the cryptocurrency salary, then they recalculate it monthly to the dollar, since it is very unprofitable to pay during the pamp
It would be very difficult to meet a company that pays Bitcoin as a salary. And also this is too risky because the price of Bitcoin can go up and down anytime. Therefore, Bitcoin salaries are mostly only given to freelancers, or bounty hunters.
no one paid me a salary in cryptocurrency and it seems to me that at the moment it is still very early to receive it in cryptocurrency
I highly doubt anyone receives their salary in cryptocurrency, maybe in Japan, but clearly not in Europe or US.
All of the bitcointalk employees get paid in BTC...
How do your employers buy it?
It doesn't matter where your employer buys it.Have there been scenarios where after they purchased the agreed amount the value increased/decreased substantially before you were paid? If so, how did they react to this?
First of all, you can make an agreement to this whether it is fixed via USD or via BTC amount.This question is nothing similar to the signature campaigns and it is easier to understand if you look at each thread of signature campaign in the Services section.
It's okay paid salary in crypto currency but not the bitcoin base rate it's base on the dollar conversion, examplle 1usd is equivalent of 0.001 or whatsoever if you means in office job as a labor.
I am not getting paid in Bitcoin myself, but I know of someone that are getting paid in Crypto currency every week. This guy made an arrangement with his employer to pay 90% of his salary in Fiat and the remaining 10% in Bitcoin. He did this, because that was the potion of his Fiat salary that he used to buy bitcoins every month and now the employer is doing it for him.
They transfer the bitcoins into a Bitcoin address he gave to them, but I do not know how they buy and when they transfer the coins to his address.
This is actually great strategy, maybe only workable. To get your whole salary in crypto would be stupid because of unstable price. I would accept this kind of agreement, always increasing my bitcoin stash, leaving enough of the salary for basic life needs. They transfer the bitcoins into a Bitcoin address he gave to them, but I do not know how they buy and when they transfer the coins to his address.

In here in my country there are no salaries with crypto, even local exchanger pay their employer with fiat. Maybe for country that already make it legal, it is possible to do. But if not legal yet i don't think it can happen. Have there been scenarios where after they purchased the agreed amount the value increased/decreased substantially before you were paid? If so, how did they react to this?

There's a lot of companies who work in the crypto space like crypto payment processors and exchanges and these companies are often giving people a choice if they want all their money in fiat or some of them in cryptocurrencies. It's not common thing but it's always a start.

As far as I know only company from the Japan paid their employees with cryptocurrencies which I know this from reading some article no company which I worked or working have any knowledge about cryptocurrencies so didn't expect them to pay in cryptocurrencies in near future. Have there been scenarios where after they purchased the agreed amount the value increased/decreased substantially before you were paid? If so, how did they react to this?

There many companies that pay in Cryptos. I had been trading since years seeing my trades one of my friends offered me a contract that if I trade for him he will share 50% of the profit with. Suppose that I earned 0.2BTC then 0.1 is mine.
I felt it a fair contract where he will arrange for funds to trade, I will trade and profits are shared equally. I agreed to the contract and have my bots running on this funds. Whatever profit is earned from this contract is just an extra income for me which I use for my arbitrage.
I used to get paid in crypto for working online. Not really strange, my employer would pay my the same amount in Ethereum.
Being paid salary in bitcoin now is not advisable because the bitcoin is highly volatile and one can easily not earn much. The value changes drastically that one salary can go down the drain in a matter of seconds. It is better if one study the market situation and them invest
I know you're looking for positive answers to the question here, i.e., the experience of individuals who get paid in crypto, but my guess is that there aren't a lot of them.
I've been in various signature campaigns for years now and thus I actually do get paid weekly in bitcoin and have for a while. When you get paid a fixed amount of bitcoin, it can absolutely suck because of the volatility. I don't know why anyone would want to get paid in crypto for a real-life job. Even if you got paid based on a fiat amount, there's still the very real chance that the price of bitcoin (or whatever altcoin) could drop before you could spend it--and if you end up converting it to fiat instead of spending it (like for rent, utilities, etc.), then what's the point anyway?
Bitcoin is going to have to get a lot more stable before it can act as a replacement for cash and be acceptable as a way to pay employees. Not only that, but cash is accepted everywhere. Bitcoin isn't, and altcoins are accepted by even fewer merchants. We're a loooong way away from achieving mass adoption.

all users that works in this forum are being paid by a crypto. the feeling is good when the market is healthy but when it dumps we also feel a bit disapointed because we loose its value . in the actual world , most of us didnt experienced to paid in crypto because it isnt been implemented yet due to unstableness . its either the company can save or loose more .
for me i would prefer to be paid by a usd rate but only if the payout is good enough . if not then i would be willing to accept crypto payment because theres always a chance that i can double or even triple my salary .

I think people who receive paid crypto usually work on an ICO project. So the payment they receive is the result of the success of the project. And the cost of crypto payments depends on the percentage of success of the project. But if the project fails they get paid not according to the agreement and poeple work on that will accept the payment even small.I don't think no one is getting paid for Bitcoin in normal job because cryptocurrencies are not evolved in the offline market because of lots of people think we can will not be stable for long time that's why cryptocurrency salary will not be executed by lots of job opportunity people will unclear with the doubt but in future it can definitely be acceptable by all the people.
