Some time ago, like some years ago actually, I made a thread on this board where I talked about this same thing, which is we having our salaries paid in Satoshies, including pension..

Any body who knows about bitcoin and has invested and benefited from it, and maybe still has investment in bitcoin even now would definitely love his or her salary to be paid in bitcoin if he or she is working in a company that pays salary bi-weekly or monthly, as for me, I wouldnt mind getting paid in Satoshi.

One thing companies interested in paying salaries in Satoshi must do is to ensure the ask their employees one after the other what means they would like their salaries paid, everyone should be paid based on their choice or choosen currency because I personal believe that bitcoin represent freedom, and as such, it should never be forced on anyone.

This your idea is a future one because for now even though Bitcoin and crypto as a whole is receiving alot of support from around the world receiving payment through crypto currency is one thing that will take time because I believe that that will have to pass through law before any firm and even government will pay salaries in Satoshi as you are proposing

Should be a good problem to solve for any startup that want to streamline the process of using crypto day by day, adoption is here, but infrastructure wise, we really need solution to streamline things.

Just imagine if we can receive salary in sats while there's service to take care of the tax and other things under the hood. Maybe some exchange can just implement this, even if the service is charged with fee I'm sure people gonna use it.

No, I don't like to receive my salary in satoshis and still prefer to receive fiat. Fiat is still use in my country and Bitcoin is just for commodity or investment. I don't know if that already implement in other countries but I guess that will depend on the allowing from the government.

That may happen in the future if more government make Bitcoin as a legal so those companies can use Bitcoin as employee's salary. Until that time, it is better to use fiat as a salary especially if fiat still be used in our country.

So are you saying that you are currently putting 50% of your salary to bitcoin? You must either have a cheap rent and expenses or high enough salary.

Even putting 10% into bitcoin is insanely high for anyone who not even interested in bitcoin. I would say that if you have low income, then investing 10% from that is good, but average joe prioritizes other investment forms before putting all of it to bitcoin. Assuming that they have budgeted everything else in order before that.

For me it's easier to get paid in fiat money, so i can pay taxes from it and buy bitcoin. Rather then having my salary in BTC, keep in mind how much that was valued in fiat money, and convert some of it to fiat money to pay taxes, hoping that it hasn't dropped too much in value when i convert.

Everything is possible but it takes time to realize and I believe it will not be so important because what is needed is how we can continue to make plans in the investment targets that are being carried out. The issue of paying salaries to workers is still too complicated because it will indeed be hampered by regulations so that companies prefer a safe path in order to maintain the existence of the company to grow further. Anyone who says bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme is probably a bitcoin hater because we realize that only haters will continue to spread fake news.

Now we need to think about how to put a better focus on investment and even though individually our finances are not so stable, there are times when it is necessary to make a big plan for implementing a strategy to achieve investment. Bitcoin will continue to grow in the future and it is very unfortunate when someone does not take advantage of the existing conditions and instead regarding salary payments or legal transactions, let the government think about it.

50% will also be good if it is my permanent job since it is my main source of revenue. The other half will cover my basic needs for the month. But I would prefer 100% if it is a side hustle since I can use it for hodling Bitcoin.


Paying salaries in Bitcoin will increase awareness and adoption. Many people in my country are not aware that Bitcoin is a currency. I think most non-crypto organisations would find it difficult to adopt this policy. But it could be very easy to implement for crypto-based firms like crypto exchanges and casinos.

True and true.
For the most people that have been opportune to work in a signature campaign and have had to be curious on this likely possibility of a distant future: signature campaigns remains your first hand case study. Take it for the Beta phase of what is to be expected and frankly, it wouldn’t make a lot of difference in the end as, most individuals would end up exchanging them for fiat or spending it directly. Same way you use your salaries today just that, spending would come with some level of reluctance.

At this very moment, I wouldn’t accept it, even though I firmly believe in Bitcoin and its future. We’re in a bull market right now, where the likelihood of a price drop increases with each passing day... but when the market shifts to a bearish trend and drops enough, it wouldn’t be a bad idea at all to receive everything in satoshis, it would save me the huge hassle of having to sell fiat to buy Bitcoin.

Bitcoin users are all Satoshi Nakamoto and they don't actually need to receive satoshi from their salary to become Satoshi Nakamoto in community and inherit vision of the Bitcoin founder.

Salary is only one of Bitcoin use cases and Bitcoin does not need all people on Earth receiving bitcoin/ satoshis in salary to be accepted globally. It's not too right and does not match with Satoshi Nakamoto's visio- for as maximal freedom as possible for everyone and Bitcoin users - if there are mandatory policies to force all companies pay their workers and staffs in bitcoin.
