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?
Not matter how nice that looks, i think that it is pretty bad idea for workers, And ,of course, i wouldn't want to get my salary in bitcoins.
Price of bitcoins is very unstable. I wouldn't like to get 2000$ salary one day, and see that i have only 1400$ in my wallet next day. if price would be stable, everything would be fine, but it is not even close to be stable actually, it changes many times in single day, and it changes by a lot.
Also, lack of stores. With fiat you can pay everywhere you want, while with bitcoins you can't. I live in pretty large city and i never saw store that accepts bitcoins, i also travel a lot, but from 7 countries i saw bitcoins-accepting store in one country only. So again, if there would be more stores that accepts bitcoins, everything would be much better than it is now.
I think ( and hope ) That in future it will be different: Price will be stable and there will be plenty of stores, so after 10 or more years it would be nice to get salary in bitcoins.
