Let's say you have a job that gives you the option to have your salary paid in BTC, ETC, or any other cryptocurrency, would you prefer that or would you rather still be paid in fiat? If you'd prefer crypto payment, which currency would you choose and why?
This would be your hard-earned money that can either grow on its own or shrink in value within a small time.
I think I would exercise the option of having 50% of my salary as crypto and the other 50% as fiat.
The good thing on having part of your salary as BTC/crypto is that it gives you the convenience of already having it as a part of your salary. Not to mention, if you are a person who is investment-oriented to the point that you want to maximize your investment portfolio, having this kind of salary set-up may be beneficial to you.
I would not exercise the option of having it 100% fully as cryptocurrency since there are still obligations that must be paid daily/monthly. Having to convert it to fiat may be inconvenient especially that fiat is still the main currency being used around the world.
In which ever asset that my salary is paid, I will accept so far as I can do with the money what ever I please. If am paid in fiat and I wish to invest in Bitcoin I will buy any percentage I please using my salary that was paid in fiat. If am paid in Bitcoin I can do with it what ever I please.
At the end of the day, it really depends on the purpose.
Though that may be the case, I personally see it as an inconvenience if you receive your salary 100% as cryptocurrencies given that majority of the transactions that are being used are still made in fiat.
