Was having a discussion with someone getting who is getting into BTC the other day about the 'living on crypto' movement.
Mostly about the people who want to get paid in BTC / crypto and only spend BTC / crypto staying away from banks.

We went around and around for a while as to where his line was vs. mine. And it does bring up some interesting points. If you are getting paid in BTC and send it to BitPay / Conbase and convert it to their debit card and spend from there are you 'living on crypto'? How about Bitrefill and other places you can get gift cards from BTC / crypto?

Was an interesting discussion as to where we stood. And was just wondering how everyone else thinks.
Gift cards? Debit cards? Get paid in BTC and convert to USD (or whatever) and put into your bank?

I lived in crypto for a while but the reality of its value was unpredictable and made my life difficult, so I chose both as work. both working with a stable paying job and using cryptocurrencies for trading and storage. Do you think the same as I think about this?

of course, obviously if you can do both why not ?! get a job and get paid in fiat, and find another way to get paid in crypto like being a manager or a developer ...etc that is the smart way to do it, get both so you don't just rely only on crypto and if something bad happens to it you end up having useless priceless virtual coins and tokens, so if you have the ability to get them both just go for it.
