So, do you think companies will use Bitcoin to pay their employees in the future?

I'm not sure if there are companies that already do that, but I haven't heard of anything.

Yes, why not.
I think is a good way to pay your freelance empoyees working in another country.

That's what I was thinking, I'm surprised that more companies have not done this.

If they're not bitcoin freaks or reading about last tech they're not going to do this because:

1. Company needs to know about bitcoins and how to use them properly and trust in the security (they're not going to hold a lot of bitcoins if they think a hacker can steal them)
2. Buyer needs to know about bitcoins and how to use them, plus he needs to accept this form of payment.
3. Depends where you live buying is not really easy and sometimes you need to pay a lot of fees, so maybe is going to be easier and cheaper just to use normal method. Or something else.

In the future this will work with bitcoins, I don't doubt about it. But we need more time for this.
