I will accept bitcoin partially as my salary cause it makes it easier for me. Right now I already convert part of my salary to bitcoin so why not have that automated right.
Better to do part then full because days like these it's dropping quite hard and we have to be careful where we put our money.

It is makes more easier for you because you are using bitcoin how those people who not using bitcoin ? then they forcing them selves to create a bitcoin wallet where they gonna accept their salary of bitcoin soon? better if not and accept real paper money.

People will prefer to accept salary in bitcoins only if they are aware about the concept of bitcoins and if not then they will never risk their income by getting paid into bitcoins.

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.

I could, but not fully. The cryptocurrency needs some price stability first, this could attract the interest of more people and companies to adopt the measure...

Yes even companies will never ignore the fact of price volatility as they will be making huge investment in buying them so that they can pay their employees and if price falls then it will be huge loss for them too.

If my company pay bitcoin for my job salary then I will go for it. Because bitcoin will have wallet that is you can monitor it everytime you want because it is in the internet. There is a website for this and also an application. And you put also in your bank accounts if you want withdraw it or in remittances.

True, but its not possible to stabilize bitcoins price since its design on that way and if bitcoin would have stable price i think many traders would switch to another coins because price volatility of bitcoin is one of the most important for them to make money. If it stabilize then they wont like that scenario. Accepting bitcoin as our salary would be still risky nowadays.

Perhaps it is not a good idea to take the measure now. The volatility can bring great instability on your earnings, not only positively but also negatively.

I agree. Income/salary is very important as it is used to finance your stable lifestyle. So it is important to have the salary in order to survive. If your salary drop to 10% and your cant survive to pay the rent and your living habits, how are you able to bear through this period to enjoy the bull period of the bitcoin.

Right now, I would say no. If you ask me why, as you can see the price is going up and down and not just by small amounts. Let's say you're paid one hundred dollars in bitcoin and then something happens that reduces the price of the bitcoin and you end up with a lot more that a hundred bucks, but the main thing, for me, would be the price jumping and falling.

If I could use bitcoin to pay for everyday life, I would take my pay in bitcoin. I hate being a small person in this bitcoin world because there is so little I can do to make a difference. I work for a small company, so when this is a reality, I will be more willing to ask for my pay in bitcoin.

Don’t worry about your position in the bitcoin community, even if you don’t hold many coins you are way better than the majority of the population because you have knowledge about the power of bitcoin, the only thing that you need to do now is to take actions so you are able to profit from that knowledge.

I would take BTC s a salary even now, it's so easy to exchange it to USD and local currencies that you wouldn't lose more than 2-3% or so if you want to exchange it

. it would save me the effort of depositing money into exchanges to buy BTC.

The use of btc may change things a lot in near future, but there is still a high risk on accepting bitcoins as your salary, given the fact that the price is unstable, may inflate or fluctuate, affecting your total salary.

Not with the unstable thing but if you are using mostly your salary then accepting bitcoin will just change the form of how you receive your salary.

After all, you will just convert it immediately since you need to spend on something.

I received some BTC as a part of my salary, but now I am loosing as the price is falling Sad

if it's just a small amount, then it's not really a problem as you can keep holding it. remember, you don't lose anything unless you sell. may i know what percentage you received in bitcoin of your salary?

Bitcoin as a salary is possible for some but not for me. To have my salary paid in bitcoin I find it important I can use it and at this moment there lack of options to use it makes it not very handy for me to get paid in bitcoin because I am not able to spent those coins.

the same for me i wouldnt accept it because i think it would be too risky for me to lose all money i put in

And what about the volatility? Have you forgotten that aspect of Bitcoin? If you have recurring bills, then you definitely don't want your entire salary to be paid in Bitcoin. I seriously don't believe that.

you are a sensible person, we should have to think like that. When there will be markets with bitcoin payment then why will we insist to get our salaries in our local currency. We will also like to get bitcoin in order to avoid exchange for to put them in bitcoin as in the future every market will love bitcoin and people will need to put their money in bitcoin.

yes and i like to receive my salary in bitcoin but i know that my department will never agree to give me my salary in bitcoin because i am a government servant and i receive my salary from government and my government is not ready to give me my salary in bitcoin.
