In the first place, for a work like that, I will not hire anyone to do the work for me if I currently don't have money on hand.
And I just want to save him from a hassle way of converting BTC into fiat. The fact that he is accepting a work like that means he is using BTC as a source of income so much better to have a fiat payment for that kind of work.
Anyhow if he is really an BTC enthusiast and pushed for a BTC payment instead, still I will only deal with fiat - hand to hand.
