Topic: Will you accept bitcoin as your salary? - page 95. (Read 183572 times)

That's the risk you have to take when you decide to accept Bitcoin as your salary, you just have to keep trusting on Bitcoin so you won't regret later.

I will like it when btc is cheap, so I can get rather more btc. I don't like it when btc is expensive, so i could get a few coins.

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.

If the fluctuation is still happening now in our time, And in your case you accept it as your own salary through bitcoin in fact you already did, right? What if your salary is 0.4btc base on the price we had now, then your salary day is next week but all of a sudden the price of Bitcoin immediately down to 300$ on the day of your salary day, will that be okay with you? 

if i would get a chance to choose, i would accept it for sure as bitcoins price would be really good them, so it wouldn't fall very fast so it would be awesome for me

Everybody have a different perception about it, like me in my opinions it is possible waiting for a long time ago like you said maybe it's not a problem if the price is just up or down.

Accepting Bitcoin as my salary will be great if there's no need for me to convert Bitcoin to Fiat since Fiat is accepted in every place in my Country, next is credit card and debit card. If I convert from Bitcoin to Fiat, there will be deductions and before it reaches my wallet its already shaved with a few $$ now hows that for accepting Bitcoin as a salary.

True that bitcoin has so many advantages, But I think you don't see the disadvantages of it once this one is being apply in the employee.
I'm not against in this because I'm also a bitcoin enthusiast, of course I am also looking in the side of the employee not in our side only.

Actually there is a way to not pay that fee. What you should do is to find someone who wants to buy Bitcoin and sell your coins to that person for the price which is average between the BUY PRICE and the SELL PRICE. Thus both of you will be benefited. I personally do this all the time.

yeah if more merchants or others people accept bitcoin and use bitcoin as a payment option and direct them we can use bitcoin to pay for
daily needs. I think a lot more people will adopt bitcoin and use bitcoin as their currency and accept bitcoin as their salary?

yes i will like to accept it, although there is not a single shop in our are who are accepting bitcoin but still i am welling to accept my salary in bitcoin and the reason is that i already convert my whole salary to bitcoin for investment therefore it will be better for me if i receive my salary in bitcoin.

I think some people are missing the entire point of Bitcoin in this thread alone.

One of the qualities of Bitcoin is the ability for a user to remain anonymous (anyone's basic right) and the paradigm that perhaps one day it could replace the entire global currency system. By dumping it straight back to US Dollars or your local currency; you've put a name to an address, as well as demonstrating that you are not interested in using it for products/services as is.

I've done a fair amount of paid work for Bitcoin and various other cryptocurrencies; either through implementation of services as per client requests, fixing bugs or 'bounties' as well as general 'development work required' type positions.

While not the fault of Bitcoin, it does get rough having worked several weeks in a row on a project, where money does start to get tight and money will not be sent until completion of the work as a whole (as opposed to a general salary job), usually in addition to general day job.

A lot of people have fleeced a lot of people too; which does make companies nervous, but for most of the part i've found businesses and individuals alike to be trustworthy. Most of the time where someone does not have best interests at heart, they will slip up or 'obvious behaviour' will give them up.

Yes thats the main problem of getting the salary in bitcoin that converting to fiat and withdrawal of them to cash would cost you the fee every time.
And we have to do it quiet regularily because we cannot use bitcoin in our day to day life like buying something from stores and all other things in the real world.So for me i would prefer my salary to be paid in fiat rather than in bitcoin.

I'll take any form of payment as my salary as long as its easily convertible into cash.
I'll take precious metals, cryptos, precious gems, cars, art anything of value really that's easy to turn around and sell.

Yes with more and more business allowing Bitcoin as a payment, it's making it easier to use. 

That is good if you can spend your bitcoin in different stores or bitcoin is already accepted in your country which anywhere bitcoin stores are available, but for me i do not what to received my salary in bitcoin because the fluctuation of price has a big effect on your net pay no consistency.

yeah I think I could use bitcoin to shop using bitcoin debit card and I was able to convert with ease. while it still can not then I would be ready to accept bitcoin

I agree, that is what i don't like also in bitcoin. And you can't spend it also if you don't convert it to fiat first. You must pay a fee everytime you convert it to fiat. Only few stores accepts bitcoin directly as payment. But i hope someday that bitcoin will be well known and more stores will accept bitcoin as payment.

And a real job is surely not as easy as posting things in a forum.
Even if you are a hero or legendary member, you can't keep your family alive with sign camp only.

A big YES!  I will accept it as a salary.  It would not be a problem since we have here a licensed bitcoin wallet.  It has all the services needed from loading prepaid cards to school tuition fees.  It has been partnered with almost all bank here in our country.  The only problem is I will not be able to have my salary in full as encashing it has fees on it.
