Topic: Hey Tomorrow ask your boss if you can be paid in bitcoin. (Read 648 times)
Retail stores are not going to accept cryptocurrencies anytime soon, because they need to change the billing software and it will add more complications while auditing and tax filing. So getting the salary in Bitcoin is not preferable for me now. If I get my salary in BTC, then I may need to convert it to fiat to take care of my utility bills and daily expenses.
You cannot just do what you want in some country cause most countries like China have a strict policy about bitcoin. so you cannot just say what you want or you will face the bad consequences.
But thankfully, in our country, there is no reason to hold back on what you are suggesting. but it's only up to those people if they want to accept what you are suggested.
The Phillipines is a free country, Bitcoins can be used here to pay many things there are lists of the restaurants who already accept bitcoins and some other store too.

constrained by rules in countries that still have not given permission for bitcoin payments for work and quite complicated too if properly paid using bitcoin because the price keeps changing so maybe our boss doesn't want to bother ,that's also if our boss knows what bitcoin is, if you don't really understand well it will be difficult
My boss dont even know what bitcoin is hah
Hey even better reason to bring it up to him. Don`t say anything about investing, just say, May I start getting paid in bitcoin instead of fiat? Is there a way we can start doing this?

Here in our country, they will just laugh you if you ask them to accept Bitcoin, so many people here are so ignorant on what is Bitcoin and it also adds that there are a lot of bad news here about Bitcoin being used by scammers in their MLM HYIP activities, and mainstream media always broadcast it.

Not yet practical, as much as I love to get paid in bitcoin it isn't just yet accessible and acceptable in most store in my country and would still need to exchange into a Fiat
just so I can use it. although there are numerous online stores and company that accept bitcoin in my country most of them are not a priority to be spend on. also bitcoin
still has a bad image since there have been news that involves bitcoin in a scam in my country so most people that are not familiar with bitcoin tends to avoid it and not engage
to it in any way.
Some people in this thread are saying that it's pointless to ask your boss to pay you in BTC or to ask store owners to accept it because they will never do that anyway. It's true that chances are very slim, and I personally think they are close to zero currently, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't ask questions as it is suggested in the OP. By asking such questions we are raising awareness about Bitcoin, and I think that the impact of such actions on Bitcoin adoption is underestimated.

I would like to get paid in Bitcoin
I can ask my boss to pay me in Bitcoin if I have a hint that he knows about Bitcoin or a holder of Bitcoin, but unfortunately, he is not there's a lot of groceries here in our locality but they do not know or accept Bitcoin.
I can easily convert my Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to a local currency here in our country but I do love to buy things using Bitcoin and receive payments through Bitcoin, but I guess I will have to wait for more years to make this a realization, I know it's possible our country is very open to adopting Cryptocurrency.

I'm hoping it's early because I believe in blockchain and bitcoin, it wipes out all the channels and doesn't cost too much to the old bank system. But unfortunately in my country I have not allowed to trade with coin in private and general encryption money. I hope I don't have to wait too long to see that coin is accepted across the world.

Why would anyone do that, basically you will have to change it to fiat, as of now bills can be paid in bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency and i think that country with strong government like the US won't allow it , or at least not until they got no other choices.
i think the ability to pay your bills and other services = mass adoption, cause online your can pay almost for everything or find a third party that accept bitcoin, but you re still not able to pay bills, i think in the end mass adoption will still depend on the government at least in some country.

I won't ask my local store to accept bitcoin because that will become a debate and I don't have any strong support that could help me to explain about bitcoin to them. I prefer to use fiat to buy anything from the local store until my government accepts cryptocurrency as the new payment method because the government will arrest me hahaha.
I prefer to wait until there is a local store in my country to accept cryptocurrency than to ask them to accept bitcoin. I still want to earn more bitcoin so I can sell the bitcoin at the high price

Cryptocurrencies are banned in my country, so I'd probably get jailed or fined for asking this.

It is not so easy but it would not be a bad idea to do that really, because I am sure that when such word is spoken, to whom it is spoken would be curious to know what the system is all about, though it depends on the relationship of such staff to his boss, because that could get some staff fired, but if such staff has a relationship with his boss, he could juts use that as an opportunity to expose him to the system of cryptocurrency, and that is how the awareness starts from.I`m serious, if you want to become non $laves.
For the grocery store, they have policies too and to amend the policy would take much more than just one customer to do so, except such customers takes it upon himself to serve as a marketer and then introduce the system to the management of the grocery, and if they buy the idea, they will first think of how to implement it because it is not easy to just pay in bitcoin like that without going through some processes first.

If I get money in usd, why am I slave? What's the point of your statement? And please can you clarifiy why bitcoin is salvatory?I`m serious, if you want to become non $laves.
Seems you don't know well how system works. For example if your job pays in specific bank, you can request to get payment in another bank but that will be with delays and possibly withdraw fees but you can't ask them to get cash. If you'll ask, your question will be ignored. Same on asking bitcoin too. Just tell me some reasons why your "boss" has to agree to pay you in bitcoins.

I wont bother to waste up my precious time on convincing these grocery store owners to accept bitcoin since there would be still lots of explanations would be needed for you to carry on like;I`m serious, if you want to become non $laves.
-Countries laws towards crypto
-BTC volatility
These 2 thing alone will really greatly affect such owners decision.Would you have the time to explain anything?

It will be the most ridiculous question that I can ask my boss, obviously the guy has zero knowledge in tech vis-a-vis non tech savvy I wish my salary payment is via bitcoin while my grocery stores had never heard any payment related to bitcoin except POS and fiat obviously with time this idea will be adopted by many organizations and stores.

And get jailed
In my local, any kind of activity related to BTC is illegal. Before 2014, there was no law about Bitcoin, but in 2014, Bangladesh Bank applied a rule and asked people not to do any activity related to bitcoin. For doing so, one may get jailed and/or a fine.

Well you belong to that oppressed small group of 15 oppressed countries. In there you have no choice but to trust your friends only, or trust no one and stick to online activities preferably avoiding local transactions completely; with proper protection (Use Tails).
But, you should campaign and join/start an awareness movement of this misguided policy, that is only turning wealth away from your country.
I know there are some companies that have option to give paycheck in Bitcoin. Personaly I wouldn't like that. Bitcoin is too volatile and I like to know what amount of money I'm entitled to. Also, I have some fixed expenses every month. I still prefere my salary in fiat and after all expenses are covered I can decide how much of leftovers I will turn into Bitcoin. This is much better option for me.
It is true, when viewed in terms of its effectiveness, fiat is superior to bitcoin. Bitcoin is known as a digital currency so it is more suitable for online transactions, not payroll. I understand we all want higher adoption of bitcoin, but we cannot rule out fiat, fiat also has an important role here. Bitcoin and fiat in my opinion have their own privileges, and bitcoin is not suitable for paying salaries, I hope they understand that.
And I also agree with you, when all dependents of daily needs are met then I will invest the rest in bitcoin. Fluctuating bitcoin may be more suitable for long-term investment or daily trading, but it is not suitable for paying our salaries unless we accept with all the risks the value will not be fixed.
The idea is good. But the problem is that you are at least 10-15 years ahead of time. Right now it is not practical to receive all of your salary in the form of Bitcoin. Because for 99% of the expenses, you need to convert the Bitcoins to fiat and then use the fiat cash. This situation will definitely change in the future, but we need to be patient enough to wait until then.
For the grocery stores, accepting Bitcoin is not going to be a simple task. They need to update their billing software and if they are not using a third party processor, then they may need to deal with the volatile exchange rates and delays in getting confirmations. But the biggest headache is going to be the tax liability. The presence of Bitcoin can increase the paperwork by quite a bit.
