It's only a matter of time until many companies will start paying their employees with satoshis. I think that there are companies like the exchanges that will either allow the employee to choose the payment method, whether it's with satoshis or with fiat.

I doubt it because bitcoin is not a legal currency and not everyone knows about it. Using Bitcoin to pay salaries would be more feasible for cryptocurrency companies than for traditional companies.

I think that I've seen one video before, maybe somewhere in Switzerland or near that region, and that there's a company that offers Bitcoin payments or any other preferred cryptocurrencies to their new employees, other than fiat.

But that's true, the exchanges or crypto projects that have built a team and company are likely to do this preference.

It is convertible to fiat and so those that have no problems receiving it will simply choose to get paid in satoshis.

One of the pros on this is we get an instant BTC holding and investment if we don't spend it.

But it would be disadvantageous if that money were used for daily living expenses. The worst thing would happen if you just got paid in bitcoin and the price suddenly drops 10% or 30%.

Meanwhile, receiving payments in fiat is more proactive and less stressful as there is no need to worry about the price of bitcoin. We can easily plan our spending and buy bitcoins at a better price if we know how to analyze the market.

That is one of the cons of receiving payments in Bitcoin. The volatility really hits a lot but if you've been used to it just like being part of a campaign, it won't hurt you that much.

But for the new ones, this is something to be considered of.

Yes possibly there are companies who could and will offer salaries in Bitcoin
I would imagine these companies would have a Bit oin flow as in receiving
payments in Bitcoin. For most companies it isnt the case so they would have
to convert FIAT to Bitcoin themselves in order to pay Bitcoin salaries.

Personally I would like my weekly wages paid in Bitcoin because I currently am
able to spend less save more so it would cut out the task of using exchanges.

Even if shops didnt show pricing in BTC or even accept BTC I still would like
a Bitcoin salary

That's one of the pros and I agree with you, just as me. I'm able to spend less if I receive payments in Bitcoin and my mind is set for wanting to have more of it than spending it.
