If our country implemented this type of system, I don't think people would adhere to it that easily. Bitcoin is not really known in our country, it is in its early stage of development where most people are only starting to hear about it. Living in the third world country where most of its population are considered minimum wage earners, Bitcoin may not be appealing as a form of salary for them for they have no idea of its benefits. To those who belong in the high classes may agree, but I think most people here in our country would still prefer cash for now.

That would be something interesting to see. Yes i would accept Bitcoin as payment, I mean why would i not. Bitcoin is spreading all over the world, and like you said it would't be hard to exchange it for local currency. But it would be even greater if there were more places where we could spend our Bitcoins. That way we would't need to exchange it. That is purpose of Bitcoin, to be a world currency which people could use in all parts of the world.

I will have to say no to this. Bitcoin's price is very volatile and it can change anytime in a moments notice. Lets say the price of bitcoin suddenly went down by 40 percent, that would be a huge problem especially if the salary you are receiving is just enough for you to get by everyday.

Bitcoin is considered property by the IRS. If you were paid when the price is high and then sold, or bought stuff when the price was low, you can claim capital losses.
Maybe they meant "losses" instead of gains.  Grin

Would you accept bitcoin as your salary in your profession, especially if you work in other country?

For me yes I will accept bitcoin because we can exchange it in our local currency.




As good as it sounds, I don’t think it is a good idea. Sure, getting bitcoins as salary is cool and awesome. But if you think about the volatility, then it becomes quite bad. But if on the days of salaries, the price drops, and increases later, then that would be nice. But the thing is, bitcoin doesn’t work that way, and has a pretty complicated pattern. So I am still going with fiat on this one.
I think it depends on what company you intend to. It's fine if you give a salary from bitcoin. For instance,you are putting up a game company like gadgets. So in that case you can give the server an amount that depends on his performance regardless of the time he spare for a day. Though this sound risky for an amount of money but at least he would know how to make use of it if he knows how to hold or trade his coins. It's not only about the salary itself but he has the strategy to make it profitable not just by working but it also assists with business opportunity.

I do not agree if bitcoin will be the salary for a regular job. Yes you can earn so much once the value of bitcoin increases but when the time comes that bitcoin value is not that high or it depreciates, your salary will also decrease. There is no permanent in bitcoin. It changes everyday and no one knows what will be its value for the near future.

maybe after I commented, I would say cheek currency .. if the salary in another country is bigger than collecting bitcoin in my country, of course I will accept it,

If in your country has a low currency it seems better you are looking for a job that gets results that exceed the currency in your country Wink

Well this is, if there is no work at all, then yes, and so I do not think there will be enough time for activity in the market, because one must always be aware of everything and make quick decisions, ie, devote more than 3 hours a day.

This  could be better idea to popularize the currency. There also should be an option between regular currency and cryptocurrency as per the employees choice. Well, I would definitely go for  this, if it is available.
That is actually the point of fact. Things will be in your favor only when you are able to enjoy them. If employer somehow managed to give salaries in bitcoins and employees are happy because price is going up so profit for them.

But what if bitcoins are in loss and prices goes down less than $2000, do employees still happy? No they wouldn’t be.

No, I will not accept my base salary with bitcoin, I will only receive my basic salary with real money. Payments with real money are still pretty simple to me, still simpler than bitcoins. And also I think if someday the government blocks bitcoin, I'm worried that bitcoin can no longer be in exchange for money in my country so it's safer if I accept real money only, and let me get bitcoin from here, from bitcoin.
I think you need to take it safe to keep it going, now that I see in the next country can not access bitcoin for some reason but it's not important to us and the most important thing we now keep and make real money, set a strategy for things that are not desirable..

For me it is better to have a decent, regular job offline and just make bitcoin a part-time job in order to sustain some income.

me too i will accept the bitcoin as a salary for regular job because we can exchange it in our local currency. And come to think of it, if Bitcoin will be the new form of money in the Philippines we don't need to deploy Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) outside the country due to the fact that they can earn more money for their daily needs.
There are too many lower level people who want to earn in bitcoin they need something for make for better future and they use bitcoin like a salary.

Bitcoins as a form of salary would not actually be a good idea .
The whole idea of bitcoins was to provide financial freedom , but if we pay people with bitcoins they may face some suffocation in marketing sector.
People would obviously prefer to use bitcoins when the value would go up , and at that time the markets stocks could possibly run off.
Many people would not even use bitcoins , thinking that they would get profit in future if they use it as an asset.

I think for now bitcoin has not yet found price stability. if I work and is given a salary of about 0.03btc, and by that time the bitcoin price is high, then I get a big salary. but if the bitcoin price goes down I feel a loss.
 

it's the risk that we get if our lard is paid with bitcoin, but when we receive the nominal salary we get the same, if we do not want to lose then when we receive a salary with bitcoin we should immediately exchange with local money that way amanya no loss
