With the current changes in price,  and sometimes also considerable  downtrend, I do not think that it's a very  good idea. But I think this  will find its place in a near future...

I already get my salary in Bitcoin with no problem what so ever. As for the price ups and downs it doesn't really affect me in a bad way instead I bank more profit Wink
Those who still get paid in fiat are the ones getting robbed every single minute as more paper enters the market.

Yeah, inflation rate is too high and getting higher each year. Soon, fiat will be worthless while bitcoin will go on becoming more valuable. But not all are comfortable yet receiving bitcoin as salary because they are still afraid of price fluctuations.

I could consider to accept part  of it in bitcoin. If more people start  doing this, the better for the  price and for the liquidity , and the lower  may be the volatility in the future..
Yups bitcoin volatlity is the main reason that i wont accept my salary in bitcoins and yes i may take only 10% of my salary in bitcoin but not more than that because that i can use as investement but for daily living we require fiat money to spend in local stores,shops or malls where we cannot use bitcoins yet.
The price instability keeps some people  away, but it is advantageous to traders  and speculators . There would be more adoption  if there was less volatility though..

No I would not accept it as my salary because the bitcoin is difficult to convert and you will lose money because of it, I think that its maybe smart for taxes or something but that is the only positive thing right now.
I could not even do groceries than...

Nope, I would not accept it as my salary because its the bitcoin and I also have to convert it again what will cost me some fee's to pay other billings with the normal country currency.
Its right now for me just not possible and also not very simple, I do not want this right now maybe in the future..

If I were still living in Serbia, than no. If I were to move to some other, economically better country then sure. Just for the reason of the currency and the lack of exchanging it.

Of course, why not? Bitcoin is a good in this generation. And for me it will also become higher and higher so I think it is also good that our salary is bitcoin. Smiley

There is no difference if you accept bitcoin as your salary or in the  since if the amount you will take as your salary will depend also in the current exchange rate.

Let's say you have a $200 monthly fiat salary, you will still receive $200 value of it in bitcoin. Also if people has fixed spendings then whatever the current exchange they need to use their bitcoin salary.

That is what I thought too. Unless you are not spending your salary but just want to keep it. Then receiving it in bitcoin is better because if you hold it, it will be more valuable in the future. For me, if I can receive it in half, then I think it is better. The amount in fiat, I can use for my daily needs. the amount in bitcoin will act as my investment.

You can ask for a small percentage of your salary to be paid in the bitcoin. You can save the coin for the long term.

Its your thinking but i will not accept that even i also believe in bitcoins and i believe it will grow up in the future for sure but for now we cannot spend bitcoins in offline world so there the problem comes we had to convert our bitcoins into fiat,so it would be much better if we accept our salary directly in fiat rather than bitcoins.

Earning bitcoin as a salary depends on several issues. Is your employee ready to pay you in Bitcoins? At the same time, it also depends on whether the employer is ready to pay you in a dollar equivalent at the time of paying the salary. Otherwise, you might end up receiving peanuts when the price if bitcoin has gone down.

This is the thing must be consider when you intend to receive salary from your employer as you said they must willing to pay on dollar equivalent of Bitcoin because if they pay only on fixed Bitcoin value then. It would be very risky since your salary would depend on Bitcoin price.

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?
Here in my country ( Philippines ) i don't know if they offering bitcoin as salary never heard it before or in my entire life in office if my boss really using bitcoin and ask me if i know about this i would say YES and if he offers me to accept bitcoin as salary of course im going to accept that in bitcoin market i can really grow that and the advantage of having bitcoin is bitcoin can make the value high and you can earn that fast.

it's basically pointless to wait for employers to pay people in bitcoin. mainly because of the fact that not many people (non bitcoiners) are interested in it. too much work, maybe it's not even legal in certain countries, and so on. just use a fixed part of your salary to buy bitcoin with. that's much better.

yup, this is indeed something will happen when they have not known the bitcoin. So we would be better off investing in the bitcoin than having to ask the employer to pay the bitcoin. The investment is more well done, because it could give emphasis against funds that we have

Current situation tell us that people who had salaries in bitcoin made good profit until now. I believe in price increase so if someone offer me salary in bitcoin I would accept it without thinking.
I think I would try to find one more job to work for my currency, in that way I can save money I earn with bitcoins. In couple years there is possibility to sell that coins for double or triple money. That is not a little thing, that can worth a lot.
