For know i think if not required to, i don't want to get paid on bitcoin because the price still unstable.
I prefer fiat for now because everything can be buy with fiat, but not bitcoin. but i don't know in the future.

I would accept bitcoin as payment, only bitcoins. Though I would like to have it as
an option since it's volatile, it's quite good receiving bitcoins if prices were right
and the market is going green. But to some I think bitcoin might work well as payment,
just like signature campaigns here, mostly it's BTC regardless of price conditions.
It could very well work no doubt.

Bitcoin and altcoin are good currencies in investing, but for a salary in crypto not convincing to me, not a good idea, it would be very risky because the price of cryptocurrency is unstable. Currently crypto is only suitable for investment and other transactions but not for payroll.

BTC to the MOON in 2019
No no please the change in normal currency will be a daunting task then. Why to get into a task that's so difficult to reach.
In the future we will be given an option on what currency we want to receive as our salary.
AFAIR, I read a news before that Coinbase are giving their employees an option on what currency they want to receive for their salary so I believe
it's possible because bitcoin is money and liquid.

If my employer would pay me bitcoin, I would not complain because it is teaching me how to invest.

I would not like to receive a salary in BTC, because there is no stability in the course
Perhaps in the future, it would be a nica way of payment
I hope that the cryptocurrency will continue to develop, and we will see official salaries in bitcoins

Paying of bitcoin as a salary to the employee is good if it is not for daily consumption, because when the price was down in the market there's a possibility employee lost some of their salaries due to the market movement. Just like you played gambling if your salary paying bitcoin a very high fluctuation may cause good effect or either bad effect. That's why they much prefer an exact rate or fix rate salary to avoid losing to the employee.

One of japan's company is paying their employees with bitcoin
Sure i do not mind accepting bitcoin as my salary but just half of it
i will keep it as an investment for future purposes
I think this will be implemented sooner or later world wide if all of the people accept and recognize bitcoin

Getting paid in Bitcoin as lovely as it seems will come with its pros and cons. Pros for the fact that it will be less stressful sending out bitcoins all u need is workers Bitcoin address. Cons that Bitcoin price is unstable. You pay a certain amount and price drops drastically... not good for the employee that needs certain amount to get something done. It's complicated

I don't think that a good idea for employers and employee.  Company's have to know their operating cost which includes salaries and the rise and fall of bitcoin price will affect that cost.  For employees who are expecting a certain amount of money for their salary to pay for their day-to-day expenses, that could be a problem. 

Price fluctuations for Bitcoin is the number one reason why employers and employees will hardly install such kind of policy in their companies in terms of salaries and wages. It may be good for the employees in the long run because the value of Bitcoin will certainly grow but since most of them are probably depending on their salaries, they could not hodl their Bitcoins for long. They need to convert them into fiat for their usual expenses. On the side of the companies, they are surely giving away a huge wealth if they pay all their employees in Bitcoin.

As for me I don’t want to get all my income in bitocin, it’s too unstable and volatile today and the price could decrease unpredictably, so it would be better to acquire about 30 per cent in cryptocurrency and the rest sum by fiat money as usual.

Its not a new thing,  I already receive all my salary / earning in btc,  I also pay people who does any work for me in btc.  It is easier to work remotely when you receive salaries in bitcoin,  bitcoin make it easy for people in different countries work together and receive payment instantly without having to wait for over 7 days for a bank to pass the money through many 3rd parties and charge high fee.

There's nothing wrong if we get paid or our salary will come in bitcoin. I think it's new and innovative but at the same time it's risky too having our salary in bitcoin. The volatile of it's price makes bitcoin a risky salary for everyone because we can lose a percent of our salary in an instant or we can gain more if the price rise. I think in the future if some of the companies do paid in bitcoin they can think of a strategy on how they will send the salary.

Bitcoin is just the aim of the investment, I think it would not be right to reflect on business life. No firm will give money over bitcoin. Nobody accepts assets where prices are volatile. Neither the worker nor the boss.

For me, this is too risky. Because the cryptocurrency has no stable price. And I cannot consider it as a real job. Cryptocurrency is good as a investment not salary payment.
Salary paying through cryptocurrencies is a good decision because if a person can not afford to trade and invest through cryptocurrency then through salary paying cryptocurrencies companies he can afford to invest his salary in crypto and especially Bitcoin.

So do not consider it as like the market is going low and employers will reject to work on crypto currencies but in both cases if the market is going down or high employers should works and get Bitcoins. It would be another easy way of getting Bitcoins if companies use it as a salary.

I think the general consensus here is that people wouldn't accept their salary in cryptocurrency. Varying reasons are given, volatility being probably the most consistent one. I think the main reason people wouldn't (at least at the moment anyway) accept it, is because there is no need. We can get paid our salary in fiat currency, instantly available for everyday expenses, and then decide if/how much to invest in cryptocurrency on a month to month basis. Technically anyone who uses part of their monthly salary to buy cryptocurrency is basically getting paid in cryptocurrency, they just have control over exactly how much and which crypto to get paid in. Be interesting to see how opinion changes over the next few years, I can definitely see some companies paying only in crypto.

Perhaps this is another one of my little dream - to get paid in cryptocurrency. But while I don't even know where to find such work.
I believe this will happen soon as the world accepts more cryptocurrency and I think bitcoin will be the right choice to pay the salaryman. Bitcoin will have a stronger chance of growth and will no longer be subject to the same volatility as many large corporations can afford to stabilize their payrolls.

I will still prefer cash payments for my salary. As we all know, there are only few things we can buy using bitcoin. Majority of payments still requires money or credit card so it will be a disadvantage if an employee will be paid using bitcoin. The only advantage I can see is when bitcoin suddenly goes up before payday. Its almost impossible to happen on the current market so I will still prefer cash. I can convert them to BTC anytime I want.
