I'm already receiving my salary in crypto, just not in Bitcoin. It's not something too special, to be honest, I can't just use it, I'm withdrawing every time to pay rent, buy groceries, and all other stuff. With Bitcoin, it would be mostly the same.

It's a company which already run an initial public offering? surely this company will get audited and there's a financial report about wage distribution, the government will know if the company is using Bitcoin to paid the employer. So it's not good idea and possible of getting trouble.

But if it's just a small business or freelance, it seems to be safe since the government will not care about small money. It's similar like this forum has a Chinese local board while Bitcoin is permanently banned there.

Is your friend want his salary to be paid in Bitcoin?
There are private companies already paying their employees in Bitcoin. But we can't expect the Government to push this idea on their agencies since fiat or their CBDC are what they recognized.

Of course if this happened it's good for Bitcoin for awareness and adoption specially for people who don't know its existence yet. Bitcoin can work as an alternative but the Government will not allow Bitcoin to be the main currency.

CashApp I have read actually allows for this, they take your direct deposit and then transfer it directly into BTC into the BTC wallet address of your choosing, pretty cool! Nice job Jack Dorsey 👏
 

Even if you receive your salary in bitcoin, you still need to convert them to fiat afterwards, as fiat is still the main currency and is still being used in all daily needs. This idea sounds interesting and appealing to us at first, but over time it becomes a hassle that we want to get rid of. Because besides the inconvenience that we still can't use bitcoin for our daily needs, bitcoin price fluctuations are also another concern. What if we are in a bear season and bitcoin value is volatile? Would someone be willing to sell their bitcoin when it drops more than 10% or 20%?

in this case of course will reap the pros and cons because usually people will like to receive a salary in fiat currency which is of course stable, whereas if paid using btc which has a fluctuating nature of course it will make the person receiving the salary more profitable if they have received a salary the price of btc go up suddenly and sell it when the btc price rises or lose money when the salary is received, the btc price immediately drops and sell it when the btc price drops.

In my opinion, using this system will certainly make the price of btc fluctuate even more because usually an employee will sell btc for their daily needs.

There's really nothing to reply this post of yours.

Your friend insisted that the salary of some country be paid in Bitcoin, but sorry to ask has your friend ever been paid in Bitcoin in the company he works? In as much as majority of Bitcoiners (those that truly understand what Bitcoin is, not the buy high and sell low set of Bitcoiners ) would love this, it's not going to take effect in all countries. Although some companies might decide that they want to pay their workers in Bitcoin since what they deal on is majorly related to Bitcoin, that's the company's decision, while others might decide to stick with the normal fait they have been transacting with before. Just take note this issue of paying workers with Bitcoin for now is not going to happen but with time and better understanding of Bitcoin it might come to reality.

In fact, there are a large number of organizations that are fully transitioning to cryptocurrency payments.
I have designed websites for such companies that pay their salaries in bitcoins.
Personally, I have worked on 3 projects like this, so it's no longer just a fantasy

I have a strong belief that in my country despite the crackdown on crypto, there would be some individuals in tech progressive companies that would have opted for this option may not a 100% but 50 - 50. They do it for several reasons like inflation, recession and economic uncertainty. Also, countries with currency turbulence and outdated banking systems, like some in Latin America, see the highest level of crypto payments. We have also heard of high-profile individuals like sportsmen and politicians choosing to receive part or all of their pay in Bitcoin. As bitcoin education grows and we see an increase in adoption, we would also see more employees accept bitcoin paychecks as a legitimate payment method. Bitcoin-funded payroll systems offer advantages like swift cross-border payments but face challenges like volatility and compliance issues.

They're not going to want it [paying wages in bitcoin]. In the world of sports there are several clubs that are rumored to have paid players' salaries with bitcoin. In 2021 NFL players choose to be paid with bitcoin and other cryptos as reported in several local media. Football players have also been paid with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. There are also big companies that pay. This shows that bitcoin is known by many people to be a solution and has happened.

Hoping that those whose salaries are from the people will not approve because it can become a problem for them if fiat currency is useless.
