If you got paid in Bitcoin every month, what would you do?
People have been A/B testing anti-Bitcoin salary narratives for years.
But instead of dismissing Bitcoin payroll outright, let’s ask a more practical question, would you:
1. Convert all of it to fiat immediately to cover your expenses?
2. Convert some and save the rest in BTC for the long term?
3. Hold everything in BTC and spend only what’s necessary?
There’s no right or wrong answer. It simply depends on your financial goals.
But let’s address some real concerns:
↳ What About Paying for Daily Expenses?
Not everyone around you accepts Bitcoin.
You still need fiat for rent, groceries, and daily expenses.
But that doesn’t mean a Bitcoin salary doesn’t make sense.
Many employees choose to convert a portion to fiat and accumulate the rest in BTC.
It’s like automated Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA).
You’re stacking Bitcoin every month without even thinking about it.
And if you’re educated enough to understand why Bitcoin will continue to rise in value in the long-term, that’s a strategy worth considering.
↳ What About High Transaction Fees?
Yes, sending Bitcoin can be expensive
Especially during high network congestion.
That’s why the Lightning Network (LN) exists. ⚡
LN allows for instant, low-cost transactions, making Bitcoin salaries even more practical.
(I’ll cover more about the Lightning Network in our next post!)
Since 2018, BTC Direct has been paying a portion of its employee’s salaries in Bitcoin.
Most employees chose to save €100 per month in BTC.
By April 2021, the average employee had deposited €3,500.
But its value had grown to nearly €28,000.
And if you calculate based on today’s BTC price?
That same amount is worth over €45,000.
That’s the power of saving in Bitcoin over time.
Most people still dismiss the idea.
Not because it doesn’t work,
But because they haven’t taken the time to understand it.
