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

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.
If you asked me a few months ago, preferably in May or June, when there was a huge hype with Bitcoin and crypto, I would definitely say yes, not because the price was rapidly rising, but because there was a lot of hype regarding it. Bitcoin was everywhere, on articles, on Twitter, on Facebook, on several popular websites, thus, it was almost certain that something optimistic was going to happen, and it did. Now however, the hype has died down, the prices have crashed and the general scene seems way too risky for anything.
