I think that I could accept at least part of it in BTC. We certainly need to start doing this, in order to encourage more people to use Bitcoin.
the same for me, getting the whole salary in bitcoins is really risky in my opinion and i dont think that it actually should be done as i would lose big money

I suppose at that time, if bitcoin CAN be used as a salary then it would probably be a main currency in the world, and probably at that time you wouldn't need to exchange BTC to get money, Or you can even now "since you would just need to exchange some for usd for living needs".

I believe in bitcoin but until it gets to be stable. It just isn not useful to get paid in it.  I would probably take some of my paycheck in bitcoin just like some of my current paycheck goes into my retirement plan but definitely not all of it.
correctly . to accept bitcoin as a salary we should ensure that the bitcoin prices stable. because with the price stability bitcoin then we can ensure that our income is the same every month. This is a difficult thing seemed to materialize for the time being.

Correct, stable price would be  the first thing to consider when  we decide to accept bitcoin  as our salary because  our money would depend on the bitcoins price what if the  price would go down/ it would surely affect your salary too which is really bad  for us since we need money to buy our daily needs.

No ,because it fluctuates so ,when my salary sends and bitcoin price go down i will earn low not as exact or higher on my salary payment.

That is the basic logic behind not accepting salary in bitcoins as we will never get stable and fixed income if we accept salary in bitcoins, I will never prefer to get paid in bitcoin.
That is correct even the price would be stable i do not prefer to received my salary in bitcoin because it will be complicated to me due to exchanging it into fiat. its very hard to spend the bitcoin itself in my country.

Yeah that is the problem everywhere that you cannot spend it and whenever you convert it to your local currency you need to pay transaction fees, so its better to continue to receive salary in cash.

Of course. Bitcoin is the future money so why not?. Actually you have the advantage if you save more bitcoin cause it's currency might get high in the right time and you can earn a lot of money. Just mu opinion using it right now is a practically not right. It's not worth it if we're gonna use bitcoin here on net to buy some stuffs that we need. Well, it's just my own opinion.

yes i will accept my salary in bitcoin because bitcoin is very useful in everywhere corner of the wold and we can buy any product through bitcoin with easily and with fastest transaction .

Are you sure? I haven't experienced that.. When I have to purchase something I need to convert my bitcoin to cash and only few items are priced with bitcoin and mostly are digital goods...  You are lucky if you could maximize the use of your bitcoin...  Smiley

I don't what he is saying is true, as everyone is complaining that they cannot use bitcoins directly and I don't think that there are many countries where bitcoin is accepted so easily.
WOW you are actually getting paid into bitcoins your salary ? Please can you show us and tell us where you work and how much you get paid Wink ? I am very excited because all of this thread has yes I WILL accept or NO I WILL NOT but none actually has been seen accepting his salary in bitcoins. So very curious friend, please if you get time tell us more.

He is saying that he will prefer to accept salary in bitcoins and not that he is already getting paid in bitcoins, try to read first clearly and then comment.

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 near future.

Could be. If that future will stabilize the price. That is the most important thing when working for money right? A stable income. Is bitcoin stable? No, it moves more than US dollar. If $ can make a wave in its price then bitcoin can create a larger one. Its number is limited so it can be manipulatred by a person who is owning a lot of it.
In the first place why we used bitcoin as form of salary? specially if the price will be stable? if we are receiving our salary in terms of fiat and we are satisfied with it. If you want to received your salary in terms of bitcoin your salary would not received in full like receiving in fiat.

each company have diffirent rules, maybe in your company you will get the salary in bitcoin with term reduce 10% for transaction fee, then in other company the salary will 50% in bitcoin and 50% in fiat

if the value is reasonable i will accept it.
the problem is usually the rate of paying and ''real rate'' of bitcoin price in exchangeris diffirent with highest prencetage.
the same for me, also the price of the bitcoin should be way stable than it is right now, in my opinion only then people would be into bitcoins

If price is in 4 digits and if it is stable then it would be great to accept salary in bitcoins, but as of now I will not prefer to accept salary in bitcoins as price is not too high and it will not give me steady income too.

Even if the price of bitcoin is in 4 digits, if you get paid in the same amount equivalent as you are getting in fiat, then there is no advantage. At least now, that the price is still in 3 digits, if you get paid in bitcoin, you can store it and you can wait for the price to go up. Just consider it as an investment. Then, I can say that you have an advantage there. You are getting more, in the future, not instantly though.

I do have to agree with you, however, if you are paying with things with bitcoin, then why would you not mind getting paid in bitcoin.  yes some days you will make money if you compare it to the USD or another currency and come days you will loose, but you have to think of it this way; the USD raised  by $3 in value today (an example), so did you hurry and convert your bitcoin to USD do tomorrow you can convert it back to make more money??  No one does because it is not worth the time.  Bitcoin does change a lot, but it is becoming more stable and thus would be a good way to receive your pay.
