I think this also depends on the government.

Upon knowing about this, I don't think the government will just let this slip by. They will find a way to regulate this kind of payments and they will make laws all about it. If that is also the case, I think that a lot of people are actually using it that it is an alternative to fiat hence it might already be accepted or regulated by the government. I think that future is still quite far from now.

I came from Philippines also and I second emotion to your opinion because there are three billion people here in the Philippines but less than 1% of our population who knows about cryptocurrency and some of them knows only about cryptocurrency but they are not users so I don't think giving salary through cryptocurrency would be possible here in our country.

I am also from the Philippines, kababayan. I live in a province and it is true that there are only a few people know what bitcoin is, let alone crypto currencies. Usually they know some local exchange but they don't actually use it for bitcoins but just for the fiat. People don't even know what it is, let alone use it and receive it as a salary.

All depends on what kind of company you work for.

Lage corporations: no chance they would pay your salary in BTC, there's just too much bureaucratic headache
Small, nimble, international startups: hell yes (quite common actually, based on my knowledge)

Getting your salary paid in BTC is especially convenient if you are a nomadic individual or one who resides abroad. Depending on where you live, if you can get paid a portion of your salary in BTC from an employer in another country, that should technically qualify as income from abroad which is not taxed in many countries (or, of course, if you get paid discretely it's even better).

Personally I think it's great to get paid in BTC as that skips the headaches in dealing with FX and banks, etc. It also automatically helps you save/hodl money. If you work for a distributed tech startup or crypto startup, you should definitely ask for BTC salary payment!

It doesn't seem reasonable to me to take or pay the full salary in Bitcoin. Because a person's family depends on salary. And if this salary is paid through Bitcoin then that salary has no fixed value. Because the price of Bitcoin goes up and down. In that case, it is not possible to estimate exactly how much I will buy and how much I will save.If Bitcoin is suddenly dumped, my entire salary is likely to be halved.

A nice point because such transition neither can be good or bad in the view of your own employees and its true that there should be at least extra when sending out funds due to fees
on the process on making those to fiat.

Quite hassle eh on your part? Being a crypto enthusiast isn't bad but there are some situations that should be in exclusion due to various factors but if you do really push it hard
then you can do it but be sure that everyone would really be in order because some people wont really like the idea on accepting on something which might
really be that too technical for them.

For people who are aware with crypto then they might consider this option but for vast or majority then I do still doubt on that.

However, paying conventional money is the best option. Not all employees understand bitcoin, right? after all, not everyone agrees with this, considering the huge risk, especially as an employee who makes that income the main source of his life. After all, there are easy ones why choose the more complicated ones?
One day, if bitcoin has been accepted and is truly effective and adopted in many sides of life, making bitcoin a salary can be an alternative. But it looks like it's going to take a long time.

The process is possible and can be done but what is lacking is the amount of time to do research for each country to adopt this possibility. Most government departments are not even knowledgeable with Cryptocurrencies even those side of government who are leaning within the Technology side. Bitcoin as a salary would be first implemented in Private Companies since they can have their own researchers within their facilities to conduct if its a better form of salary.

If that is a digital company and employees are into Cryptocurrency, that may be a good option. But if its a usual company, that will only create problem for the company since they will have to convert fiat to coins and after the employees have received it, they have to convert it from coins to fiat. That doesn't makes sense, its hassle and will cost a lot of money to do that. I think it is going to be possible in the future, we are too early to jump into that kind of system. Its possible but not timely.

If they are not interested with cryptos, it would be inconvenient for them because they will need to use exchanges in order to fully make use of their salary or if it is third party, fees will be shouldered by them, unless not. But if they prefer fiat, you don't really need to convince them, sharing your knowledge would be a good approach but you cannot do nything if interest is lacking in the first place.
