That would be a cool idea.

I think all the companies should have option 4 this.

Just have 10-50% of the salary payable in digital currencies with the option to change the parameters

~CfA~

I would accept bitcoin as a salary. But only a portion of it, like 10% - 15% or so with the option to increase or decrease that percentage on a month by month or year to year basis.

I think what will bring a revolution and push to bitcoins popularity further more is, if the employers starts to ask their workers that they will pay 5% extra if they decide to get paid by bitcoins, but the very big question is why they will decide to pay their employees in bitcoin if their incoming source is not in bitcoin

I would for 50% of the salary and for the next 2 years only 

yes that's what I'm concerned if it receives in the form of bitcoin. we know that bitcoin prices fluctuate and unexpected. so when it falls we did not get a full salary.

Always !


Because for the thing called "money", I work. Can also be count in a form is "Bitcoin "

so I will like to get my salary and also other payments too in Bitcoins.  

Curiosity strikes. You are different to the most of the answers. So I would try to make an example. If I were to give you 1 bitcoin a month as your salary then suddenly price goes back to 500 dollars per bitcoin would you still accept it? It will not change to 1.5 bitcoin or something because that is the deal.

Although I do keep part of bitcoins as an investment, the times that I have used bitcoin to transact online, it’s been an absolute joy. I’ve made many purchases, such as buying my computer parts online, paying for my website hosting and even games online. Id gladly accept it as salary

What.... I never think like you, the effect of halving is applied for the long term. yesterday are a halving day and this is very short time to see the halving effect to the price of bitcoin. a lot of miners is no yet felt about the halving effect at this time. they know the halving effect is for the long term.

I think that salary in bitcoins is not so good cause bitcoin depends on fiat, for me is much better to recive my salary in dollars. But when bitcoin price is high it was not so bad to recive salary in bitcoins one time

I know the main reason why most of us don’t want BTC as salary because its unstable.., and the price may go too low so, people are afraid,,, but in some countries you can buy the things through BTC, they accept BTC, so we dont have any thing to lose... May be for few months it would be hard but I think after a practice it will be good and people will accept it

actually if i recall there was a project called bitwage that did this, meaning you could sign up with them and receive your salary as bitcoin through them with the current rate but i don't recall any more detail than that, you should take a look into it if you are interested in it.

yeah but i doubt that there are many companies,who may actually pay their
employees with bitcoin right? it is just not so popular to implement it.

You would surely be able to accept bitcoin as salary!
Nothing better than being paid to a promising currency as Bitcoin.
Even, there are companies like Bitwage, working as an intermediary in wages receiving process in bitcoin.

the chance of bitcoin price is high to increase. but after 24 hours of halving there is no any change in bitcoin price which is Strange and also weird..
but for me bitcoin price also good right now. and I am currently getting paid for my job.

At this moment I find it to hard to predict what will happen with the price so i would prefer to get paid normally, but if will keep on performing I would be happy to accept it.
But at this moment not.

Yea, BTC has cheaper fees then paypal. Let's hope that more businesses will give BTC as part of their employee's salary.

Yea our country doesn't accept Bitcoin yet but i wouldn't mind earning 50% of my salary in Bitcoin so that i can use it online. I'm kind of frustated of using Paypal and paying extra charges when i use credit cards to buy stuff online. So gaining more bitcoin from my salary pay would really be convinient. Maybe in three years time, there would be some development.

I will accept the bitcoin as my salary. However, I work the public bodies. So I have to buy bitcoin using fiat.

It is nice to see companies and others embracing Bitcoin and trying new things with it.  Even if the ideas don't work out, it is still good for Bitcoin as a whole.

I've used Bitcoin for several years but it would be very difficult for me to accept it as my salary (for reasons others have pointed out).

The biggest issue I see is price volatility.  Your salary would still have to be denoted in Euros or USD and NOT Bitcoin.  As an example, if you make $100 and get paid $100 worth of Bitcoin that is a lot more attractive than saying something  like "You'll make 0.15BTC, despite the price".

But perhaps that isn't the biggest issue.  I've lost bitcoins before due to hard drive failure, losing private key, scammers, etc.  The logic may be secure, but we still screw up and our Bitcoins disappear.  It's one thing to have a couple bucks disappear, it'd be an entirely different story to have a two week (or more) paycheck vaporize.  So another concern is holding onto the Bitcoin once they've been paid/earned.

And, of course, you can't buy (all) the stuff you NEED (yet) with Bitcoin, so using it as a primary source of income to purchase stuff you need but can't buy with the currency you are paid with just adds confusion and complexity and another bitcoin adoption hurdle.

Hopefully this will slowly change in the future but for now, if my salary was paid in Bitcoin, I would immediately convert it to something with stable value that can be used to pay bills, buy food, etc.

Until Bitcoin can be used to satisfy our everyday needs and bills, it'll be tough selling it as a salary replacement.  Just my 2 Satoshi opinion.
