I love being paid in crypto. Makes things much easier, you just make the job and receive the payment. No intermediaries.
I received already some payment in crypto for services that I made in the internet, sometimes from people in other countries. This makes payments faster and easier, and even cheaper for me (because bank fees for different currencies are high where I live)
🌧️Hurdles in Crypto to Cash Conversions
Daniel Fayemi, a backend engineer at Bitvavo, said that converting crypto to cash (off-ramping) can be challenging depending on your location. For instance, in the Netherlands, strict regulations limit the amount of money you can move off an exchange without providing personal details.
If you were receiving in traditional payment methods, you would have to give much more personal information
I think it’s just a simple decision made easier depending on personal priorities, as a salary earner, I’ll always prefer getting paid the traditional way but looking through a freelancers lenses you’ll see various positives receiving payments through Bitcoin.
Although due to the volatility of Bitcoin you can easily loose some money but you could also gain some depending on the movement of the current price of Bitcoin. So in other words the choice varies depending on each individual position.
