Recently, I convinced them to start paying me in BTC. I save what I have to save, and convert the rest to fiat via P2P trading. Its so quicker and I get great deals, no more bullshit. I think this has been a great benefit of crypto for underdeveloped nations.
I have been accumulating bitcoin from a long time from my freelance work, but getting paid in it by my regular work feels awesome!
That's great news, I am glad that more people are being able to take advantage of crypto currencies. It's these success stories that will keep push the crypto community further and let other people join it. In the end it's up to the average crypto user to try and promote the everyday use of bitcoins and other cryptos. Either through asking merchants to accept our coins as a form of payment or by asking our employer to pay us through bitcoin we can spread the use of cryptos. The benefit of being paid in bitcoins compared to your local more volatile fiat currency could also help your colleagues. Maybe if your employer is open to the idea you could try and get all your colleagues to be at least partially paid also in bitcoin.
