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.
Its not enough to just sit back and watch the success stories; we need to become the success stories. Pushing for crypto's everyday use is crucial. How can we expect mainstream adoption if we dont ourselves actively promote and utilize it in daily transactions? Now, onto your point about getting paid in bitcoin.
The potential benefits of such an arrangement are undeniable. But, and this is a big but, convincing an employer isnt as simple as showing them the benefits for the employees. Its about addressing the issues that might arise from regulatory perspectives, tax implications, and the potential volatility. Overcoming these challenges demands collective effort. Why not organize a knowledge-sharing session at your workplace? Dive deep into the nuances, debunk myths, and highlight the potential of a crypto-integrated payroll. The more we know, the more powerful our arguments become.
