This is incredible and wonderful news. The only question is how your employer makes payments to you in bitcoins. Because if there are any disputes between you and the employer, it will be difficult to prove the amounts that he paid you in your currency. Because the price of bitcoin is constantly changing, and it seems to me that with every salary that an employer pays, it is necessary to mark how much it is in your currency or the bitcoin exchange rate at that moment. But in any case, this is a great step towards making bitcoin ubiquitous.

A country being underdeveloped doesn't mean that BTC must be illegal there. Take note that a country may not have clear regulations about BTC and they may be hostile to BTC businesses, but until the country bans BTC or declares it as an illegal asset, you can surely send, receive and spend BTC in such a country. By the way, it is important that op understands his country's regulation on BTC, or just mention the country, let us search about it for them.

Yeah, I think is an accurate and nuanced description of how things fly here.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I think generally companies encroach on their employees a lot. But this hasn't been the case working for this one, and normally I am able to convince them on something if they can see how it would be of huge benefit for me.

Some people have raised this point, is it really hard to buy BTC for someone who lives in a developed country? I understand that there are some documentation stuff that you have to go through once, but that's all. Buying and sending it is pretty easy. My employer is in England. I know we have this belief that credulous people have some inane apprehensions about crypto and its mostly true belief I guess. But these guys work with computer technology and have a lot of knowledge about it. Its not like I am convincing a grocery shop owner to do it.

And also to add some context, I am not the only employee who is from another country. They have a lot of employees like that (pretty standard practice for web development agencies all over the world). They haven't dealt an employee with crypto before, but I am sure they have dabbled in lot of payment methods and are very open. I think you have to be if you are employing people like this.

Are you aware of the fact that in some parts of the world less than 20% of people have access to the Internet? Somalia and Eritrea are one of the countries with the worst Internet access in the world.
No Internet means no ATMs and no card terminals in stores. To get money you have to physically go to the bank and request a withdrawal, or fill in a paper with the bank number of the person you want to send money to.

Can you imagine running a business where you work online and to find out if you've been paid by the client you have to go to the bank and stand in line to ask if there's money on your account.

We've been living so long in the world where everybody has a phone with a bank app and can move money around while commuting from work that we forgot how our parents had to do it when they were kids.

We also convinced my employer to convert some Fiat to Bitcoin and pay a portion of our salary in Bitcoin (BTC) .... and we love it. We gave them a fixed percentage (the amount we would have converted) ...and it goes directly into our wallets. 

We are also lucky to have some local food merchants that accepts Bitcoin payments, so we can spend some of those bitcoins on lunch and drinks. Our Bitcoin meetups are also held in a local Pub, so we convinced the pub to also accept Bitcoin (LN Network) ..so we pay for all our drinks with Bitcoin. 

Bisq don't need any KYC requirements, because it is a decentralized exchange that don't need a third party to hold your coins but they create avenue for buyers and sellers to trade with each other directly. When using bisq, you should look for a merchant with good reputation, high trust rate and has completed higher number of orders successfully. It is a good idea that you convince your employer to pay you in bitcoin, because you only need to convert that amount that you will use to take care of your responsibilities and leave the rest in your wallet. Unlike when you are been paid in fiat, you might be too reluctant to buy bitcoin with your fiat currency. Also since you said that it is an underdeveloped country, inflation will eat up your fiat currency value but in bitcoin, your funds are safe.

But he is also looking to become a trader and make money from it, is there any decentralized exchange that can provide that for him? If he is using binance for daily trading then there is no reason to use another exchange for P2P trading. Because basically, his identity was no longer anonymous. Furthermore, I also tried Bisq and I can say that it is quite inconvenient. I can't even find a trader in my country's currency, it's so limited in every way compared to CEX.

Very often, companies and employers have difficulty hiring a remote employee from other countries due to payroll hurdles. Bitcoin would seem ideally suited to solve this problem thanks to cross-border transactions, but this opportunity is not often used. Probably due to different financial statements. Or have companies and employers never heard of bitcoin?

What arguments did you use to convince your employer to pay wages in bitcoin? How did you convince them?

Of course, bitcoin allows you to avoid a lot of bullshit with bureaucratic actions and money is sent from anywhere in the world in a couple of clicks. Bitcoin is a great advantage not only for underdeveloped countries, but in general for any inhabitant of the planet.

Technically, there is not much difference if you received a standard salary, which would be converted into bitcoin. But given your situation and the difficulties with transferring money between different countries, then undoubtedly bitcoin turned out to be a life-saving solution.
