Yes, but only after local stores start accepting Bitcoin. Seems long way before this happens, because without a lot of people having Bitcoins, there is not much incentive for local stores to care

Ultimately you'd have to sell the BTC, what I really meant is would you ACCEPT them and not use bitpay etc where they are instantly sold and you "accept" fiat.

Everyone could choose the amount they are paid in bitcoins via direct deposit if we had a Bitcoin Credit Union.

They would not need a bitcoin credit union to do this. Someone could easily just setup an automatic purchase with coinbase when coinbase would debit the bank account that you receive a direct deposit to.

Both a bitcoin CU and using coinbase in this regard would be less cost efficient then getting paid directly in bitcoin (from someone that already has bitcoin from other business transactions) as exchange fees would be taken out of the equation

For my primary job, no, I'll stick to USD. Until I can pay my bills and buy groceries with bitcoin, it will stay that way for me. However, if I was doing freelancing or side jobs, then sure....I would gladly get paid in BTC for that.

I work for btc/altcoin on the side.... but I get paid in USD still at my day job. I wouldn't mind it being 100% btc

I would do it in a heartbeat. Conversion is pretty easy when necessary and more and more options are available for spending BTC directly.

Getting paid in Bitcoins for work is a good option, especially if you want people across the world to work on your project.
Sitting in the UK, you can hire somebody in a developing country to do your work and then pay him in bitcoins.

Personally I get paid in bitcoins, so as all my team members at iHash Cloud Mining. I usually keep 60% of my salary in bitcoins and I convert the rest to USD. Unfortunately, I can't live off of bitcoins only. But I know that the time will come...

I wouldn't say that these sites are scamming just because they are earning interest from your funds prior to your funds being available for your withdrawal. Users are made aware of this fact and agree to this prior to doing work for/through the site, and should rationally consider this a cost of doing business.

I would also say that just because funds are co-mingled with the company's own funds, it would not mean that they are working on a fractional reserve system, all it means they are co-mingling funds (which is a general bad practice)

Some food for thought: If the financial institution isn't holding the funds at a fractional reserve how are they able to offer interest?

Also this is beyond the point, if I create an artificial enviroment where scammers prosper then I am no better.

Cash is king.

Yes, until it loses value at 1%+ per year and collapses.
#openyourmind

As much as I love bitcoin it can lose that value in a matter of moments so it's hardly a solid currency at the moment. I'm not sure I'd like to be paid my wage in it as I like to be able to buy the amount I want at the time.

Ofc i will work for BTC, this is on what we beleive yes? so why not to work for it?.

Now there is lot of ppl doing it, maybe is not his #1 job and is only a spare job, but beleive me, there is lot of ppl who wants to work for BTC.
Even if this is 50%/50% btc/fiat this will be a great news, because this will mean that lot of ppl are accepting FINALLY the BTC in his lives and dont forget that this is exactly what all of us want ¿yes?

Hell, just check the https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0 section there is lot of ppl who offer his time for BTC and grow up everyday.

Looking for campaign manager? Contact icopress!

Bitcoin is a great payment instrument, especially if you work with companies from other countries.
I would definitely work for Bitcoin.

Just... let's face it... most of us will have to convert that earning into fiat to pay the loans, buy food and so on...
