If bitcoin is no longer volatile maybe i would accept it as a salary for my regular job. Bitcoin value is pretty unstable as of the moment sometimes its high sometimes its low so its a bit risky if you receive the salary on its lowest price so not now i think.

it seems okay, but I do not think there is any company that offers salary with bitcoin. Because the place of exchange was belom maximum placed, or not evenly distributed throughout the country.

I will not accept bitcoin as a salary from a regular job because it is volatile so the value of the bitcoin that i will get is not stable in fiat so i might get a high salary or a very low salary so i don't think that it is a good option for the companies to pay their employees using bitcoin and i will still prefer fiat since it has a fixed value.
People does have different views and point on having a salary. It depends on people's needs and wants. Most of price need to used their salary in daily basis, like payments in bills , for food or necessity. Hence, people could actually used Bitcoin in terms of saving because it could actually serve as a good option on holdings and investments.

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.
The price of bitcoin is too volatile for me to accept my salary in bitcoin,rather i would take my salary and then invest a portion of my savings every month into bitcoin and other crypto currency rather than taking my salary in bitcoin which i think is a risky move,unless you have some other source of income for you daily needs.

You can't feed your family with bitcoin. I treat bitcoin as a long term investment, not as a regular currency which I would use for buying milk, bread and other daily products. I could agree for about 25% of my salary to be paid out in bitcoin.
Maybe your salary that have been given by your  regular job in your country are to high but in my country the salary that have been paid in my job are too low what i get salary here are much higher than my regular job so i think some people that experience what I experience are choose to focus in bitcoin crypto currency than to go on their job everyday.
I agree some other country choose to spend much time in investing bitcoins because they earn much income compared to their regular job. Even  me almost left my regular job because of its greater impact in terms of compensation.

I wouldn't. I don't want to lose thousands (okay maybe hundreds) of dollars because of a bump. If I want to exchange it to normal dollars, I'll most likely pay a fee up to 10%. That is a lot when we're talking about large amounts of  money. It's just too risky as of right now.

I find it a bit risky to to get paid in bitcoin. Especially if a bear market arised and your fixed bitcoin salary is worth half of what it used to be. In time when the price settles I wouldn't mind. But at this moment it is too risky if you ask me.

This will give a problem because if this scenario happened, in one or two days after we get the payment then suddently the price move down significantly and we didn't convert it to our local currency yet, what will we do? As most employees will need money to fulfill their daily needs, I bet they can't afford to wait a bit longer till the price back to normal again. So, I won't accept bitcoin as my salary from my regular job.

A big yes to this one...I will accept it...
I see it as an easy and quick way of payment and every business owner should accept it as a mode of payment too.

not bitcoin does not become the salary of a job. I do not work for bitcoin. but partnered. I am involved with bitcoin in a trade and investment. on the other hand I can follow signature campaigns and such.
I think so.

Maybe I can accept bitcoin as salary for my regular job but I think only 20% to 30% of it and the rest will be in fiat money. We all know that bitcoin value is not stable and it continuously fluctuates every now and then. If it will be like this you won't have a fixed salary for your regular job, that will be the reason why I don't fully agree to that.

Frankly speaking, No! I won't take bitcoin as my salary. Even I can exchange bitcoin to my local currency very easily, it only takes few minutes, but still I don't want to take the price risk. I use my salary to pay my mortgage and other household expenses. My bitcoin earnings go into my savings for the future. So it is just an extra cherry on the top of the cake for me.

MY salary needs to be rock steady because I have mortgage to pay and also other miscellaneous expenses I have to take care of. So I have taken bitcoin as a parallel source of income. While my salary takes care of my daily expenses, I use bitcoin for my future and any emergency savings.

Not today, because the BTC is still little accepted in commercials here in my country, but in the future yes I could accept the BTC because every day that passes the visibility of the currency grows more.

every profession of my work we are good to proceed. Whatever it is.
for me, I can do two jobs at once. for me bitcoin could be in my spare time. yes to trade does not need long. work at work hours, and engage with bitcoins in an empty time. I think this is for me in terms of income.

I would calculate my vital monthly expenses and accept that in fiat only. Everything else would be Bitcoin. There would be phases in the future where I would look like a genius, other times a goat.

If I look back at sig campaigns, at one point I was getting 0.1 a week when 0.1 was worth about $20. Peanuts at the time, now a very respectable wage. Translate that from a salary then what you were paid in 2015 now puts you above the CEO.

No way of telling it'll continue of course but a cool way to make a bet.

Yes I am willing to accept bitcoin as my salary though I know that bitcoin price is very volatile so there will be times that the value will go down so what I will do is right after I receive that bitcoin payment I will convert half of it and leave half of it to my bitcoin wallet and let the price grow. That for me is a win win situation.
If you can receive your salary from signature campaign every week, the change price of Bitcoin does not make your loss many much, because recently the price of Bitcoin very stable around range price $4,xxx.
You wont really have any loss since you didnt pull out any money from your pocket on earning bitcoin but just purely for your hard work and effort.You wont really got affected too much on volatility since salary would really depend on the rate but its much better on having higher rate because it would make  our salaries high too but on my side i wont really like to recieve my salary on my day stable job.
