If you use USD and want Yen you don't necessarily have to exchange them. You can start working for Yen. It's the same with bitcoins. You don't have to buy them you can just start services to earn them. I like it better because then you don't have to give out your ID to some online company!

That's an extremely limited niche, though. It's like selling stuff for bitcoin--your market is very small. It's better to earn fiat and buy bitcoin. And fiat is more stable. Would you really want your paycheck in bitcoin?

Well it's a way for the OP to avoid his problem that's for sure. Would I like part of my paycheck in bitcoins!? Absolutely yes! Maybe a small percentage like how it's suggested you save 10% of your income for retirement.

I also would love to be able to choose what % of my salary gets paid in Bitcoin.

I would stick it in cold storage and forget all about it.

If you can get paid by direct deposit you can get pain in BTC. Signup at https://www.bitwage.com/ and you will dget info to give to your HR just like you would to send your paycheck to your checking account.

Depends on your HR but you should be able to send 10% to bitwage account and the rest to your checking account.
