Convince him to buy a bitcoin on coinbase and then he will understand that he can easily buy it and this make the employee happy like you will be.

Hi there, I hope you find the answer your looking for.
I would suggest asking yourself a few questions to see which would be the best route to take?
First off how long have you been in business? how good is your rapport? if your client trusts you simply let them know that this would be mutually beneficially, it would reduce overhead for you and as stated before in this post make it cheaper for the both of you in the long run. On the other side of things if this is a new business relationship wait until that trust is there before making the suggestion. Do you want to try and push someone in a direction when your relationship is brand new, ? how profitable is the relationship for the both of you? Could the fees be worth it at first until that rapport is built that the trust is mutual. If I was paying you good money for services at that point I would already trust you, and would most certainly be open to suggestions making our relationship more profitable for the both of us.

Good advice! We are working together for 2 years and he trust me.

I wouldn't bother myself.

If you don't like paying fees, your employer certainly won't like paying the type of premium somewhere like Argentina attracts either. Your work paid in BTC will end up costing him a lot more. He'll probably look to employ someone who costs less.

Sometimes it's better not to get the rest of the world to bend to your Bitcoin will.

If accepting BTC can help you save in fees, maybe you would like to provide some incentive to your clients for paying you in Bitcoin. For example a discount or some extra services.

The thing is that i am who pays the fees on paypal transactions, and i lose too much money with it. I can offer him some kind of discount for my services to motivate him to pay me with bitcoins.

Yet the difficult part will be to convince him to register with ID/Passport. Undecided

No, you tell him that if he pays in fiat, he will pay fees.

Example: He wants to pay by Paypal - he will now have to pay the fees. So if your charge is for EUR100, he will pay EUR100 PLUS the fee.

The discounted way is if he pays you in Bitcoin.

Tell him future transactions that he can pay you in any way he likes but if it's in fiat, he needs to cover the fees. This way if he wants to pay Paypal, he can pay the fees. If he wants to do a bank deposit, he can pay the fees.

However, you're willing to pay the fees if he'll pay by Bitcoin.

Problem solved and you won't sound like you're being difficult.

Its going to be harder to convince someone specially if they do know bitcoin is going to be big in the next few years to come. Same goes for someone who doesn't even know cryptocurrencies exist. For those who don't know anything about bitcoin, they would have to buy before they can give you salary which is something they prefer not doing. Why not just do it your self if you wanna own bitcoin.

Because i want to get paid in bitcoin to save paying Paypal's fees on each transaction.

You could try to let him buy bitcoins through coinbase, but even then, he needs to verify his ID/passport, so if he already isn't interested, i think you're going to have a hard time with him buying it.

Even this is pretty complicated if you don't want to know how it works, and it surely isn't without complications.
