Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

Always. I live in a house and I know how much work you have to put in to keep everything tidy and working. If a young guy came to me I'd find him a ton of little things to do like pressure washing my cars, mowing the lawn, gathering leaves.
I'd like to work for BTC and I'd be willing to pay others in BTC. Honestly, I'd be so happy that a worker wants to be paid in BTC that I'd even give him a bonus for supporting my favourite crypto.

An unemployed dude comes to your house to ask for off jobs, say to throw away your thrash and mow the lawn. You had no cash but he owns a bitcoin wallet and asks to be paid in bitcoins. Would you pay in bitcoin?

Why not? The sole aim of Bitcoin creation is to be spent as currency and not just to hold it. Why many of us are holding Bitcoin is because of the gain there. Bitcoin should be treated as a money that it is.
So far, the guy knows about Bitcoin and how and where to spend it. I will pay him with that.

I don't really see anything wrong with that, as long as I have the money/Bitcoin in my wallet, I would pay him with it. Unless I'm saving the money in my Bitcoin for something else, but still that wouldn't be a problem because I can easily fund my Bitcoin wallet by using my bank debit card and it's really fast.

So, if anyone should ask me to make payment to them with Bitcoin, I would for sure, also depending on how they ask. I have only done that once, sent payment to someone through Bitcoin after he completed a little offline task for me. He first asked if I make use of bitcoin and whether I can pay with that and I replied yes and asked for his address.

of course i will pay for it. How can I not pay someone who has worked for me?  Cheesy
I am quite happy to see people use this technology for their needs. so, if this happens to me, as long as the costs are reasonable, I will still pay for it. but I think that almost everyone who has a bitcoin wallet works in their own home  Grin

I would doubt at first because that was so strange and unexpected, someone will offer you to throw your trash in exchange for bitcoin... But if in that simple way, I can help someone even with a small action, then I will accept it and will pay him with bitcoin. If I can see that he's in need of some money. But my other mind says, I might doubt him because he knew something about it but he has no money. I might think of him as someone trying to hypnotise me just to get my bitcoin. I dunno.

As bitcoin enthusiasts, you already understand what is Bitcoin. If someone offers but doesn't know what is Bitcoin, of course, they might be refuse the offer. Well, I say yes. But at the same value of the amount should going to pay. For example, if my salary was $50 then the value of bitcoin should into that amount. No one will refuse even how bitcoin being volatile if the receiver is also crypto enthusiasts too. I will accept the offer and for me, it the same value with cash/fiat.

I'm okay with that.. I will agree if there are employees who ask for a salary with a payment of Bitcoin, but the rate must be dollars.  for example, I pay him/her $400 /month but I pay his salary with Bitcoin.  Bitcoin prices change fast, I just don't want him to get more or less value when exchanged to fiat if I pay with Bitcoin.

I will say "no" firmly. This relates to my principle, Bitcoin is more effective as an investment tool than as a payment tool. I do not want to make it in vain, moreover, there is still a more effective fiat for payment. Even though the scenario that the OP created doesn't have a fiat, I will definitely try anyway. Come on, we certainly have priorities, determine which is effective.

Probably not because Bitcoin is now expensive unlike before. Probably I'll use my altcoins to pay him, I am pretty sure that he has a wallet for altcoins since he knew about Bitcoin then perhaps he had knowledge towards other cryptocurrencies. Besides, I consider Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as an asset, not a regular currency due to the fact that they are not stable.

Of course not!... I can answer with no doubt)))) I would pay may to a friend of mine for something in case I would not have money to pay for. But I would do it only in case my friend understand that the amount in Bitcoin today may appear to be because of the price flactuation quite another amount tomorrow or in some days. In order not to face such a problem that my friend will found out it and come to me in order to say that I am a fraud... or that he list a lot and now regret about our deal...

Well, it is logical that I have to pay since I accepted him to do a job for me, and yes, I do not mind paying the guy with Bitcoin.

Nothing wrong with it, bitcoin was created as alternate cash. I actually like to try paying direct bitcoin qhen I go shopping in our country, however, no merchant here accepts bitcoin yet. In time I guess we can use bitcoin anywhere even like your example or paying restaurant bills, tips, fare or any daily routine we do we can integrate crypto and soon will.  Be threating bitcoin as a normal means for transaction.
We can eventually do it once the market felt better, government accepts it and when people are knowledgeable on how it works. I'm paying my friends sometimes with btc when I ask some favor or do a sideline job for me with BTC, though they don't trade they just accept it and they plans to keep it till they see it increase in value as long as they don't be needing an extra money. There's no problem in paying with bitcoin as long both parties accepts the method.

I will use bitcoin as a payment option for all kinda off job in as much that the person working for me is willing to accept it. I see nothing wrong with paying someone with bitcoin for an off job.  Using bitcoin as the payment option is no different from using fiat currency to pay people for their services they provide you. It is only people who don't understand the use and purpose of bitcoin will have a problem with paying off jobs with Bitcoin.
Indeed because they also have some value and I think that it be good because it is more convenient for them but we have different levels of perception, some of you may think that it is not worth it to pay in bitcoin but isn't that a good opportunity to make people analyze the real value of a digital currency. I think i'll do it too as long as he did his job pretty well then we will not have any problem.

There are too many plot-holes in this question, a guy just shows up and asks me for a job, ok then fine, perhaps we can work out an arrangement of some kind, I'm not a business man or anything but do believe in helping people out. The part which scares me is the fact that the guy knows I have Bitcoin  Shocked, or at least he assumes I do. What if I didn't know about Bitcoin, i'd probably inquire with him about what it is exactly, but that would lessen his chances of getting the job if he needs to explain how I'm supposed to pay him, no? He should be thankful to be offered a job, not be bold enough to demand a certain kind of special payment that require one to learn, taking time and energy to do so. Most people would turn him away if they weren't up to date with Blockchain  & Cryptocurrency technology. They'd say what about being paid in cash?

Does it make sense if he wants to be paid using Bitcoin while his job just throwing trash and mow the lawn?? Undecided hmmm, maybe as long as I have Bitcoin it doesn't matter. Because for me,  it's a bit uncomfortable if I have to pay using Bitcoin when I don't have Bitcoin. Especially if the work is only mowing the lawn, then I think it is better to give cash. Grin

Yeah, why not? Especially that job isn't paying too much so definitely I could go for it and treat it as a little help.
However, I'll tell him that the transaction could take long as I'll be putting the fee to lowest.  Grin
Haha just kidding but seriously hope he wouldn't complain though.

Definitely not. I wouldn't pay bitcoin for odds jobs unless I don't have any physical cash with me. Since I prefered btc as an investment and I am a holder, I am not comfortable to pay btc especially when the market is in bearish. Well, the fees are high so I preferred to pay in fiat.

But I am an open minded person, so I think it always depends in  a case to case basis.

I might.
But if the transaction fee will be larger than what I will pay for then it would be better off with cash. Right?
Also, that might happen since the worker would want the bitcoin to reflect already in his account before he will go.
So that means taking the fee to a higher price to make it faster.

But if we are talking about a larger price then I might really do it, also just for fun.
I love hoarding more bitcoins but there is a moment that we also want to spend it to something.

Technically yes, but this would not be true for everyone. I mean those people who are buying Cryptocurrencies through fiat would never do such a thing as crypto for them is Investment. I think it's convenient only for those people who earn in Cryptocurrencies and then spend them in Cryptocurrencies because it saves them from an additional step of redeeming them into fiat.
