Even if you are not earning $750,000 and you are not rich enough to put all your salary into investment yet, accepting bitcoin for your salary sounds a good deal. Some people are worried about the fluctuations in the market but as long as the employer gives you the equivalent amount of btc in usd, I think there should be no problems, am I not right? The good thing is if you are planning to put your salary in bitcoin to invest, you do not need to convert it into bitcoin since it was given to you in bitcoin already.
This isn't his full salary, it's just the base salary he earned in 2021. Requesting to receive that percentage in Bitcoin wouldn’t significantly affect his overall expenses, especially compared to the average person earning between $100 and $1,000.
Regardless, not everyone has the same financial capacity. Most people invest only what's left after covering their major expenses. So while getting paid in Bitcoin might sound appealing, it's a much easier choice for someone with a high income than it is for the average worker.
