I would love to get my salary in bitcoins.There is not much problem but if I have to choose then I will take fiat because I cannot use bitcoins in daily real life and exchanging them to fiat will cost some fees so I will choose fiat.

no, because bitcoin is a cryptocoin, all markets in my city and country don't accept bitcoin so i need real money as a salary, for me bitcoin is only an hobby that with it i can buy some things in online shops
You know that you can exchange your bitcoins at exchanges and get the fiat as you use it at your country, the problem is that banks may not allow you to get the money from bitcoin as they dont know and dont wanna problems. The same as you bitcoin is an extra source of income, besides all market where i can spend it online im happy to keep my salary in fiat , bitcoin salary would be a risk all months .
Well, first off, receiving bitcoins as a salary is either profitable or a good loss of money. The risks of value fluctuating is higher than the value going up. With that reason alone, I am afraid I would not want to receiving bitcoins as my salary just yet. I am not yet prepared but there will be a time when I will. When many will.

I would accept part of my salary to be in Bitcoin because it's really hard for me to buy Bitcoin in the country i'm living in. So this would really be convinient for me, since the rate i'm getting Bitcoin at the moment is really slow and i need more of it because i use it for all my online transactions on NewEgg and buying Steam games.
Really hard to buy bitcoin? maybe you can search local seller for this. but using the bank to buy bitcoin and it's easy. but needed some balance in your bank account to do this. I sure if you want to explore about this you can find the way for this problem.

Absolutely not! IT is not a very wise decision to take salary in BTC  at least now. BTC price is very unstable and it can go way down any time.

SO if in your salary day bitcoin price is $750 then you will receive less amount of bitcoin. But if on the second day bitcoin price goes down to $650, you will be in a huge loss. One should not experiment with their salary.

yeah,but why not the whole of your salary in bitcoin?
I know it might be tough for you to BUY bitcoin with regular money,but it is always easy to convert bitcoins
into fiat currency.

I may accept getting my salary in bitcoin but I will exchange it after receiving it to make sure its value won't decline. also to spend it I have to exchange because nothing accept btc here
I thought I would not do for the moment is certainly due to the circumstances bitcoin currently do not support, and if you receive a salary would then convert the salary to fiat of course the salary that you received will reduced because you're always exposed to charge a fee at any exchange? I do not accept the current bitcoin #just imo

No, if I also agree my company will not pay haha Because it is illegal currency in mu country. And one more thing I am not interested in taking my salary in Bitcoin. Because if I receive my salary through Bitcoin and next day, the price of bioticon went down means what I have to do. So I don't take the risk.
bitcoin has a very high fluctuation, was possible in one day the price could fall by more than 20% of the common and today the price fell $50 to $610. I'm sure if you received a salary of $1000 yesterday, now your salary is about $975~
I think it is a loss that is futile I prefer to receive a salary with fiat

if you're talking about sudden 20% price falling,it's already happening few weeks back,but this fluctuation is not going to be a problem if you keep your bitcoin on exchanger and exchange it to form of usdt so you get the same value of dollars but different in bitcoin
It is much better just receiving a percentage of your weekly wage in bitcoin so you will not be affected by the price swings so much.

Some account will also let you hedge your bitcoins against local currency so the btc price volatation doesn't effect you.

In Europe there is a hot new pertaining to a company whose going to introduce paying bitcoins to their employees. But given the instability of the bitcoins market value is it an advantage for the employees or an disadvantage. In my opinion this kind of payment for salary is not yet beneficial to employees not until bitcoins price has become stabled. Though if bitcoin will start to increase its monetary value it can be advantageuos but if not then it is a peril to the employees. So what do you think, what is your opinion on this matter?

I will gladly accept bitcoin as my salary. Given the situation that the price is increasing I will wait for an increase in value before I withdraw most of my salary then it will increase greatly and i will earn more. Unlike fiat currency it just stay the same and you will never earn more. Bitcoin is the perfect salary for todays modern man living in a digital age. If i were you you should accept bitcoins as salary.
I agree, if there was not much price fluctuations like 100$ fluctuations is fine in a month but getting doubled and touching 200$ is unacceptable because we all have our expenses and might not be able to live a normal life if paid in bitcoins and price goes down.

But I feel same with you, bitcoin is very unfamiliar in my city and country, and the unstable price makes bitcoin isn't the best choice to become a salary for me. but for the online store just in foreign store rarely to find local store can accept bitcoin.

With $650 price, why not? Bitcoin can grow more at any day and it's very good so at my opinion better to recive salary in bitcoins. But for somebody it's maybe not so good
yeah bitcoin has the potential to continue to rise but what about the possibility to go down? You may not hold or be willing to wait for indefinite period of time for the price could rise? Of course you want to immediately receive your salary ? I think while prices are still fluctuating might bitcoinnot have support for it

I would like to be paid in Bitcoin Smiley but i doubt i would be seeing that service anytime soon; we currently have economic recession and also living in a developing country not many people are still yet ready to accept Bitcoin. I tried talking to my boss the other day about Bitcoin but he just thought of it as fake internet money. Still got a lot to learn...
There already are some kind of companies that has bitcoins as form of payment. I just don't remember what company that is and where it is based but I definitely read an article about that somewhere.

I would not like to have my salary in bitcoin because than I have to convert my money to pay things.
As a example I would need to pay electrical bills and this cannot be done in bitcoins.
yeah it can not be done using bitcoin you must cpverti it first to fiat in advance to pay for something yeah it was quite makes  you difficult, I have not been so accepting if my boss will pay me with bitcoin, but if the companies force it surely you must have a trick to it dude

If I am working online, I may accept to get my salary on bitcoin because of its low fees. but if it is an offline job, why would I get it in bitcoin then I have to exchange it ? getting it directly in fiat will be easier
actually i would say that fee's are bigger on btc than if i get bank transfer or something,at least in my case.
But it is comfortable for me and i see for you too,and this is the most important thing about recieving salary.
But i do not think you like if you get salary unstable because the price of bitcoin is fluctuating its good if the price is high and how about if the price will go down i think you will protest in your company.
because the users of bitcoin are not globally, maybe in some environment we can calculate about the people who are bitcoin users. we spend all of the energy, time in the offline job and we need a convenience.
Well it is ok for me even the price of bitcoin is reduce but before they pay me for salary they need to relay to present price so that i can convert it fast in the present or hold it for a long time to get more profit if the price is increase .. no matter what happen bitcoin still worth it.. and you can still convert it into money. and i think if you are working online its good to accept bitcoin as your salary..
