It wont work for me because of bitcoins unstable value and it changes almost all the time. What if the bitcoin lost it value (only if ) all of your hardwork amd time getting paid is lost. Maybe if bitcoins value will be stable maybe ill accept it as a payment method to avoid taxex and oyher thing. And if bitcoin will be accepted as major currency in the world maybe ill accept it .

Yes I would like to receive paid work salary through bitcoin. but the company that pays us should provide the convenience and facilities to redeem bitcoins into other currencies.

Doesn't really make sense to me. I'd have to convert it instantly to pay bills. So what the use? I'd rather if i could get my full paycheck in bitcoins, and avoid taxes!

I do not risk taking bitcoin as my salary yet. Its price is skyrocketing, but it can also quickly fall. This is a good tool for investing or additional earnings, but not as a salary.
You don't have to be using/spending all your bitcoins you earn as a salary from your job. Instantly convert a part of your salary to fiat. Save the rest and keep it stored for a long time. You might not regret it. Wink

I will not accept bitcoin as a salary because the value of bitcoin is not stable. better receive a salary with fiat and use it to buy bitcoin. this will provide a stable salary

Lots of people think it's impossible but I actually stumbled across at least two bitcoin who got paid in bitcoin. Maybe you can go out to your supervisor and check if it's possible for them to pay you in bitcoin. It's not very likely they will be able to pay you but it's certainly worth the shot.

An example of someone that is making a killing getting paid in Bitcoin is Tone Vays. This guy is charging 0.1 for his trading advice for one hour.

Adam Meister is also asking for a similar rate for some sort of consulting and whatnot.

And of course, Andreas Antonopoulos is getting tons of BTC doing all those speeches all over the world.

So there you have 3 examples of people getting paid in BTC and living off it. You know what to do: become famous and then charge for your time, that seems like the way to go.

for me bitcoin is an asset to improving living standards. I do not work for bitcoin, but just take advantage of what is there. and through bitcoin I can get the benefits that I think can make me more independent.

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.


Bitcoin as salary for a regular job is a nice idea. However, we all know that the price of bitcoin was volatile and any time the price of bitcoin can change to low or high. I think I will accept it because I do believe in bitcoin and I think it will help to gain and make more income.

You can look at it from various directions. One, it can improve and make btc known to the world and promote it. Two, if you been paid on a fixed bitcoin ampunt say 1 btc for work done. The value will not be fixed looking at the wobbling nature of the currency.

No i wouldn't simply because i can't use bitcoin to buy daily necessities and other stuff directly with bitcoin here and i have to cash it out on exchange first (it took 1 day) before i can do anything and the fact that it's so volatile is not suitable for regular income. So it's better to receive cash or bank transfer as i can use it directly to buy something.

Although bitcoin has a character of volatility beyond all currencies all around the world, I guess it's not a problem if you're earning it separated from your current job. Just let your funds of bitcoin grow in an exact span of time, because you won't notice the value will rise thrice than it's current value.

The number of bitcoins is limited. Where employers will take your coins to pay your salary regularly? No this is not possible. Bitcoin is income in a parallel reality and he will never be able to replace Fiat. If you have an income in Fiat and bitcoin, you will be insured and will never be without money.

Well, I think I will accept it because I know that price of bitcoin will become more expensive and I guess it will be the reason to gain more income. I will accept it because I can exchange it into fiat if I need it. Some store already accept bitcoin as a payment so that I will accept bitcoin as a salary.

Right now, nope I will not. Bitcoin's volatility is very very high and you can't expect to lower it half of your salary within minutes but when the bitcoin starts to become stable bubble that's the opportunity to accept it.

People who don't know about Bitcoin might be skeptical and won't accept Bitcoin. But me personally would definitely accept Bitcoin as salary. That would be the best way to grow my Bitcoin holdings and I could easily convert the required amount in fiat whenever required and other just kept in Bitcoin as an investment.

For me, it's a 'Yes' & it's actually the short-term goal of my current employer as it's a global company with employees working remotely from many locations around the world (US, Europe, Asia & Africa)

You have to get what you want your own way.

perhaps in the future, Bitcoin's value is very erratic, so basically the salary won't be stable as well. Though the idea is really good, with some adjustment or rules regarding the salary where both employees and employer will benefit, i might agree to it.
