As long as fiat remains the main currency of the world, getting a salary in bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency will bring more disadvantages than benefits. I will decline if my main job is paid in bitcoin, I don't find it as interesting or convenient as many people are saying. Even I believe that even the salary we earn on this forum, many people will convert it into fiat as soon as payment is received. So, what is the convenience of getting a salary in bitcoin here?
We take our salary in fiat and then invest in bitcoin as much as we want, that's been going on for 14 years, and has anyone experienced any inconvenience?

Many on the forum understand the potential of bitcoin and will hold it, there are, of course, those who will cash it out and use this money, this is everyone's choice. And if you received a salary in bitcoins, then you could also exchange them for cash and there is nothing difficult, but the money that you can afford to save will immediately remain in your wallet in bitcoins, and I think this is very comfortable. I would not mind at all if I could receive a salary in bitcoins at my main job, because I see only advantages in this, I am much calmer when my funds are invested in something more reliable than fiat, which is subject to inflation.

But you still need fiat for your life, you can't survive without fiat, and if your salary is paid in fiat, you can also convert to bitcoin easily without having any trouble. furthermore, I find converting from fiat to bitcoin helps us to be more financially proactive than converting from bitcoin to fiat. What happens when you get your salary in bitcoin and 1 hour later bitcoin drops 10%? but if you get your salary in fiat, the bitcoin price drop gives you a bigger chance when bitcoin is already 10% cheaper.
We all invest in bitcoin because we believe in its potential, but is it okay for it to become a currency or a payment method because of its volatility? as I know volatility is good when we use it for speculation, I have never heard that volatility is good when used in payments or currencies.

Salaries paid in bitcoin is a big relief for all the bitcoiners. This helps people to be strong against the inflation. As in the above statement, the volatility will cause big difference in the value received. This is the only flaw, however to overcome such issues it is good to receive certain percentage of salary in terms of bitcoin. So that the daily needs can be met with the fiat and the rest can be kept aside for long term. In between if things were supportive one can enjoy the profit and think of buy back when market drops. Volatility is good when we buy things with bitcoin and the price at its peak. When we buy things when bitcoin is at the bottom, later when there is rise in price we'll see the price of the product bought earlier having half the amount spent.

What is the big relief here? If you are paid in fiat, you can also invest in bitcoin with the amount you want, no one forbids you from that. don't mention inflation here because it has nothing to do with it. whether you can fight inflation or not is up to you, I am also receiving my salary in fiat, and I am fine with inflation because I use fiat to invest in inflation-resistant assets. It has nothing to do with whether you receive your salary in fiat or bitcoin as converting between them is easy.

Let's take a most practical example, are you working outside? and is it problematic or difficult for you to use your salary to invest in bitcoin? that alone is enough to prove whether paying in bitcoin is beneficial or not.
