Oh a salary in bitcoin - would mean people would have to sell their Bitcoin to get cash if they were not using crypto - though if people were using crypto to pay for things more then that would work out well - though one would argue, why not just pay with cash?
There must be multiple factors causing the red market... question will be how long will this go on for?
Salary in bitcoin was once accepted and people were ready to accept the btc in the time of 2015 and after that as well but since 2017 I really do not know what happened people why they were not looking to recommend and get the salary in cryptocurrencies.
Then Market is red due to the investment factor is missing from all the time. When this last bump starts there were more than 20 billions growth in the market next to that we are seeing around 25k BTC sold by one person alone today. Really making every one pain.
