At this time, no I would not.  Bitcoin is so volatile right now, the  risks outweigh the positives. Yes, I could make  thirty percent profit in fiat in a day, but I  could also lose the same.

No I would not like this because I have a lot of monthly payments and they will stay in my country currency so I do not see a added value to this right now.
Maybe in the future it could be a good option.

Well, with the current fluctuated  condition, and sometimes also considerable  downtrend, I don't think it is a very good  idea. But I believe this will find its  place in a near future.

You are wrong everyone like to get their salary in bitcoin even you like and you are getting , just think for a while what are you getting for to promote in your signature space? it is the salary for your work as a marketer.

I will not accept bitcoin as my salary since bitcoin can not be used everywhere yet and that means id have to swap my bitcoin back to fiat but ofcourse that costs money so in the end it will only waste some of my money.
Yeah , you are right that bitcoin can not be used in everywhere for direct shopping as payment method because there is a lot of people are not want to accept their salary in bitcoin but i hope bitcoin will be soon able to accept as payment method for direct shopping.
Bitcoin is unknow for a big part of the world, some people doesnt know whats the meaning, bitcoin hasnt yet reached mainstream to people consider get paid with it, and i wouldnt accept i dont like nothing volatil, i have bills and those are volatil enought for my salarie.

No I would not accept it has my salary because of the fact that its not worth getting it in the bitcoin.
And the bitcoin can also fall so its a risk and I do not want to take that honestly.

Accepting salary in bitcoins is a big risk at a moment as the value is not promising and price may fall in coming years so its hard to get into it at a moment.

Not with the risk but rather the usage of the usual fiat salary once people received it.

It just that we will receive our salary in bitcoin but the usual usage of it is still there so no changes at all.
For me its a good thing to accept your salary in bitcoin because its more chance that the price of bitcoin will increase more and you can get that benefits. if you can hold it for a long time your salary you can gain a good amount..
Provably even you are receiving your salary in bitcoin it the same price in the present price.. that you can convert it instantly. so its not a problem.

Second that!

It would be nice if the world used one currency. No more getting the phone out to work out how much something costs in a foreign currency.

That is a bad idea for forex traders. They will lose a lot of income if that happens. Though it seems to be a good idea at first but I think it is better if there are a lot of cryptocurrencies and fiat currency. So that there will always be a competition and we will always have a choice on what to use.

And having a sole currency will not make an active trading activity.

Since there is no other currency to be exchange of, trading method will now be delisted as one of the possible opportunity and best way to make money online.

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?
To accept bitcoin as the salary is very good, but if the money will match the rate and not just a number. Not to get so lived for dollars, and bitcoin in poverty.

I wouldn't accept bitcoin as my salary cause bitcoin is volatile and not to be trusted with yet unless it's just an investment.
But with investing i do trust it as an investment but my salary would be too precious to trust it in bitcoin already

yeah its hard to accept salary in bitcoins at a moment as price is not stable and we are not sure whether it will be higher or lower in future so cannot afford to go for it at a moment.

I will accept my salary as bitcoin as soon as they would finish the infrastructure of bitcoin. I need it to be secure.
Also I need to be sure that it doesn't go down in price every week like it does now. Price swinging is too risky.

Agree with you but the fact is price will always be volatile in bitcoins and we can never expect that it will ever get stable so I don't think its a wise decision to accept salary in bitcoins.

It would never happen since that is bitcoins one of its characteristics  which is its price volatility and  its not possible that it would stable its price anytime soon.  You are right  its not a wise  decision to switch full time on bitcoin since our salary would  depend on bitcoins price and  no  company would intend to  pay their workers on  bitcoin basis.

Yes, there is no meaning of getting salary in bitcoin if you are not able to spend bitcoin directly for your daily requirements. It is highly dependent on which country you are living. People are getting their salary in bitcoin and using them for their daily needs, still if they need fiat to buy something, they are using bitcoin debit cards in those cases.

I think btc as a salary will  be too risky, most employees could not  accept it. The price is still too volatile,  and if it crashes people will  lose money. I don't think they'll take that risk now,  but this may happen in the future.

That is certainly true, but any risks that will give you a pretty good impact in the future better than we have to find the road is safe, except we do desperately need the salary to meet our needs until the next paycheck. But if indeed you have something nice in thinking about bitcoin then I am sure you will be very happy to accept bitcoin as salary
