I would definitely not. For many reasons, but the volatility alone is enough to put me off of it. Losing a months income to a flash crash?<p>Not only that, but I'd have to convert it to fiat anyway to pay for 99% of the things I spend my salary on. With the fees involved in the exchange and fluctuations, I'd end up with less money in the end most likely.<p>Bitcoin is a fun toy, and spending some of my disposable income on it sounds ok. But my whole salary? not on my life. I sincerely hope there is no one around that is so blindly invested in the idea of Bitcoin they are converting their whole salary to Bitcoin.
I've heard of some FinTech startups that are offering forward-contracts (think futures, or put-options) on Bitcoin. If I can get my hands on those kind of contracts, I'd totally accept my salary in bitcoin. It seems like that would eliminate any potential downside, as long as those contracts are relatively cheap to buy.
Sure, but I would transfer most of it out to USD.<p>I enjoy BTC for sending/receiving payments as it is very easy, but I don't see it as a safe 'investment'.
I love Bitcoin, but why would I work for Bitcoin? It provides no single benefit. In fact, it only provides risks and more hassle (have to convert it to EUR to be able to use it).<p>Burned my fingers on freelancing for Bitcoin a couple of times already.
