No.because wages are in fix amount..altcoin is volatile..this can only be adapted on crypto company but in others it would be impossible,,also others dont have an access to internet while others are uneducated,,so it will be hard for them..

There is one biggest obstacles - taxes. You have to get paid in currency in which you can also pay taxes (primarily income taxes). It is a core principle of all economies in the world. Therefore the first step is for states to accept cryptocurrencies as means of taxes. And of course volatility is also my concern.

Using cryptocurrencies as wages have risks. We all know that the market is very volatile. Every minute, the market price changes. I doubt that it is a good idea for now to use cryptocurrencies as wages. Maybe it is possible if the amount of coins that will be given as wages is equivalent on the current market price during the payday.

I do not think any benefit from paying with altcoins. Usage ares are limited sooner or later you have to exchange it for fiat money. Also, it can be painful with the tax related issues.

Do you think that getting a salary in Fiat is not related to taxation? Lol. The portion of taxes pays for you the employer and the part you pay personally. A lot of people don't even think about it. They do not worry about the money that the employer pays. But that's your money, too. And they are paid from your income, but you do not see it.

Possible it can be made through pay wages the only problem of altcoin are the unstable value of coins in digital market. In this situation few people will definitely not interested in this kind of strategy.

An excellent option for promoting altcoyin and crypto. The only drawback is price volatility, but this is a normal situation.

very difficult. Because altcoin and all pennies in crypto are unstable every day. It can be down to less than 10% per day. So if the price goes up then the payee will get more profit. And if prices go down they will lose money. So it is very difficult for them to pay wages with altcoin

Why not?

If your employees are ready to accept payment in cryptocurrencies, then there is no harm in adopting an altcoin for paying the wages. But since, cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, it is highly unlikely that anyone would be willing to take payment in predefined amount of altcoin. But you can set a dollar value and you can pay in altcoin equivalent to that dollar value. Else I don't see people will be willing to take a payment in something that could go 50% down or up the next day.

You can only if the market is stable. But this is practically impossible, given the small market capitalization of large markets affecting the cost of bitcoin.

in my opinion it could be. even I've read the news that there are companies that pay employees with BTC in one country, but I forget exactly where. which certainly the country has legalized bitcoin.
if for a problem that will arise may be in my opinion, income will be accepted. because the price of fluctuating bitcoin will make the income so uncertain.

Wages are subject to the laws of the state. The employer has to pay social package and you have to pay income tax. How do you imagine doing this with altcoins? How will the courts consider disputes on violation of labor legislation? It's not real. I don't even consider the volatility of cryptocurrencies.

Many problems to adopt altcoin as a means of payment of salary or wages. Actually it could be altcoin used for payment of wages or salaries, but it can happen if the government legalize it. In addition, the salary recipient is also not necessarily ready with the rising risk of price turunya. For example today they receive a salary, then the next day the altcoin price goes down.

Yes price fluctuation is main factor in adoption.

It can be done but the question is,do you think you can handle 90% loss when the altcoins has been down? for example an employee has receive $1k for his monthly salary,would he want to have $100 instead when the market or bitcoin's value has dropped to 90% ? nah,it might not be possible as the people are more dependent to fiat.

This is the difference from the legal currency. No one in the digital coin can control whether it is going up or down. For the real world people prefer to get paid by stable coins.

How many of you here would prefer to be paid through altcoins?

I imagine PayPal is just too convenient right now, despite its huge fees.

I highly doubt it. The extreme volatility of the crypto market is one of the primary reasons why this will not happen anytime soon. Bitcoin itself has not gone mainstream yet due to its volatile nature, high transaction fees etc which is why altcoins being adopted as a payment method to pay wages might happen sometime in the distant future. Coins like Litecoin, Ripple, Dash, Monero etc could possibly be adopted in this scenario due to their popularity. Whatever the case, I am not interested in altcoins being used to pay wages. Instead, I am more interested in Bitcoin going mainstream at the moment.

Sure you can pay your employees with alt coin depending if he/she agrees with it and must be knowledgeable on what kind of alt coin is that.

You might get a law suit from your government agency from doing this. Most countries doesnt have a law that you can pay your employees with crypto currency.

Main problem in adopting altcoin as a form of salaries is that crypto is not yet adopted throughout the world and its hard for a certain person to convert his salary into cash. As we all know crypto price always fluctuates so I guess its not advisable that salary is in a form of altcoins. Our wages is of its fixed price and when it is in the form of crypto tendency is that it will lessen or if its in a high price it will probably high also and I think is better.
