Topic: Would you like to get paid in Bitcoin? - page 3. (Read 4398 times)
Updated the OP. Will post more until I am finally being paid 100% in Bitcoin.
More and more people are taking this option.

Getting paid in bitcoin is a huge step in making the economy grow, quite possibly the biggest single thing.

Agreed. I've been saying this for a while, especially over the past 6 months as people have been trumpeting the various merchant-acceptance announcements. That's obviously a great thing long-run too, but the situation has gotten too lopsided, and we need more bitcoin wages.
Love seeing the Bitwage launch. Hopefully this and BitPay's Payroll API will start to close the loop...
Agree with this.
Right now, I'm paid in bitcoin through my bitcoin signature campaign, but still I don't see many good shops or merchants, where I can spend this earned bitcoin.
So, mostly, I still have just 2 choices, to keep this bitcoin or withdraw.
It's much easier to exchange fiat for bitcoins myself and I wouldn't want a bankaccount at some new unproven-to-be-safe bank.
This looks as an effort to centralize things and should not be trusted blindly.

yeah, i would like.
but u know if everyone can get paid in Bitcoin, then who else would stay in bank or company?

i don't think i would want all my pay in bitcoin just yet, the market can be very volatile. BTC could easily lose 10-20% overnight and a $1000 weekly pay check might be $100-200 lighter. Would make it hard to budget.

IMO both are very necessary for Bitcoin to gain usage. Without any retailers willing to accept Bitcoin (or at least major retailers) there won't be that many people using it as a currency and more as a store of value. On the other hand you need people to have a means of easily getting Bitcoin (exchanges while not difficult to use may to some extent intimidate an average user & it feels as if you're already trading 'money' to BTC rather than to another currency) and this provides another point of access for those people.
I'd prefer gold. That working without Internet and probably not fluctuate 50% within a few minutes 
. Maybe later.
. Maybe later.
Of course. But i prefer a way that allow me to held my bitcoin and not convert instantly with Bitpay. So, I appreciate this type of system and not Bitpay which decrease the bitcoin value 
No way! I mean sure it'd be an interesting venture but doubt I could handle it, but I'd probably not say this is bitcoin shot up in price afterwards lol. I just don't think the stability is there yet, not to mention how it's still manipulated.
Yeas, I would like to get paid in bitcoin, maybe this could be a good way to increase the bitcoin popularity !

Well i am in the middle off getting a web page made up for my work, And i will be offering part payment in bitcoin for work carried out.
Got to give it a try nothing to lose.

Excellent idea. But the thing is,bitcoin will always be in the rope and accepting that as a payment would be a brave mood.
I'd like to be paid 20% of my wages in bitcoin. I can use 80% of fiat wages to pay only accepted fiat bills and spend the bitcoin at the bitcoin friendly stores. So I don't need to bother to convert them to each other when necessary.
That is a good idea. I would like to treat BTC as saving/hedge against inflation and use it when necessary.

It is a risky business, putting your wages into bitcoins. If I could pay my electric and water bills with bitcoins without any trouble, I might consider, but the bitcoin is too unstable to rely my daily income on, I am at the moment a slave of my mortgage and other bills I need to pay, if it does not add up at the end of the month because btc plumeted I have a problem.
Given the fact most bills need to be paid just right after my salary comes in, it would probably work out without too much los and maybe some profit, but it would not be a bitcoin economy, but a conversion from bitcoin to the current currencies to pay the bills and a correction on my salary each month, if the btc to $ rises, the amount of btc of income would be lower, if it falls, it would be high.
all businesses and jobs took risks. and it is reasonable, depending on how we think to reduce that risk. and with the same bitcoin, bitcoin risk must exist when the price goes down, but when the price goes up you are not enjoying it too , Given the fact most bills need to be paid just right after my salary comes in, it would probably work out without too much los and maybe some profit, but it would not be a bitcoin economy, but a conversion from bitcoin to the current currencies to pay the bills and a correction on my salary each month, if the btc to $ rises, the amount of btc of income would be lower, if it falls, it would be high.
I would like to recieve in Bitcoin which is automaticly hedged. Would be nice to be possible

That is why it is not for everyone.
It is on a pick and choose basis.
Individuals in your predicament who are broke should not opt-out of fiat just yet.
Mind you I said broke, not poor.
Sit tight...
