A company did an interesting social media experiment on people's acceptance of cryptocurrency as a method of payment for salary.

Looks as though it could possibly have been staged by the company (I don't think so??), but the results seemed similar to what I would expect if it was genuine. And I think it is actually a clever way of promoting their token sale, more potential to go viral than other promotional videos I've seen. Anyway, personally I think I would be happy to take cryptocurrency as at least part payment for salary, and depending on circumstances, the whole amount.

This heavily depends on the country where I am staying at. Assuming that my country exhibits acceptance and leniency towards bitcoin, I would ask my company to at least convert a partial of my salary as bitcoin though not everything. One thing to keep in mind before accepting bitcoin as a salary is its volatile and decentralized value. Currently, there are no laws catering to tax imposition to bitcoin and that would lead to another problem regarding income tax. Lastly, the value of bitcoin may change everyday which makes your earnings sensitive in its price.

If establishments and retailers begin to accept bitcoin as an alternative payment, receiving bitcoin as a partial of your salary may provide convenience into paying bills and monthly obligations.

With this instability, and with a downward trend obviously people will not accept it, but it is something that a medium-term future will see more frequently.

Agree. The acceptance of bitcoin as your salary depends on cryptocurrencies' legal status among countries. If their existence is prejudicial and a threat to national standards, then imposition of world-wide bans may soon follow.
