I am curious how many people here already get paid in BTC and how.
Do you earn 100% in BTC? 50/50? Do you earn a fixed amount or does it depend on the exchange rate? If you don't get paid, do you want to? Why / why not?
Let's discuss!

Currently my income is made up of 20% BTC (for now and increasing, but it is not easy to obtain it) I save this, rewards, exchanges, barter, all looking for the most viable means, since despite the knowledge that the world and people have In cryptocurrencies there is still resistance to the issue, while some do not give enough value to BTC I accumulate. The remaining 80% in Fiat Money a necessary evil, I dream of a free world free from the control of government institutions

With my business I get payed in bitcoin. I teach about bitcoin and do some consulting. Mostly it is one costumer at this point but it's a fair bit. I give all my costumers the option to pay in bitcoin but most of them just use fiat instead.

No, but I pretty quickly convert $USD not needed in fiat into $BTC. I am learning to convert and spend as needed.

I wish though

I have an e-commerce shop that takes bitcoin (incl LN) via BTCPayServer.
I have a number of hardware products, all of which stem from things I originally built for myself as an amateur athlete / health & performance optimizoor. If we are of the same biological species, odds are you would like these things as well.

(Personalization in health is mostly a fiat scam just like you don't need a special flavor of anything that's not bitcoin.)

Actually, already have btcpay on second one as well and just forgot

Nope not at all, only 1 client has ever settled with me in bitcoin and I don't blame them, its still pretty tough to deal with from an accounting standpoint and people just don't want to deal with it
Thankfully I can just convert my earnings myself and not trust someone to know how to use bitcoin and fuck up a payment because they're some boomer accountant

I don't have a job now but if I should, I would love to be paid in Bitcoin, preferably on the Lightning network
My first BTC earned for a work done was in 2015. Was an amazing feeling to be paid directly in BTC.
Then I start learning more and looking for more ways to be paid in BTC, but still keeping my IT consulting job (freelancing).
In 2017 I convinced 70% of all my clients to pay me in BTC. They start accumulating BTC as reserves (long before M.Saylor), based on my teachings (yes I gave them free BTC classes).
For a while, from 2015 until 2018 I was using Bitwage.com as a ramp on to be paid directly in BTC, from those clients that still do not have enough BTC to pay me directly. Yes, I was one of the first Bitwage users. Great service.
Then from 2018 I decided to not accept anymore any payment in fiat. I closed all my bank accounts and start living only using BTC. Yes, I lost some clients becaise of that, but fuck them, I don't care. I care more for Bitcoin.
Now I am retired. I do not want to work anymore. I just live my simple life using BTC. I only work for Bitcoin, to help others to use it.

Whatever I make from https://channel.ninja/ I get paid in btc. But that's worth like 2$ a month, lol.

Occasionally I do projects for payment in Bitcoin. I once got paid 50,000 sats for a 5 minute phone call. That was pretty cool.
reply
Currently, a sponsorship arrangement, but once the project launches it is 100% pure LN income, not just BTC. The wonders of the money layer.

For those opposed to KYC, getting paid from a “normal” job with BTC would not fly.
reply
Nice try, Mr. IRS man.
I will say that I've been 100% in since early 2017. Started stacking in 2011.
Every time someone tells me they need to hold some savings in fiat I feel sorry for the lost sats they will never see. Poor bastards.
reply
IRS will not ask such thing directly and they do not care if you earn BTC or fiat. They are interested if you are an obedient sheep paying taxes. They are more subtle...
reply
I would absolutely opt for a BTC denominated salary, especially with the built in cost of living adjustments.
reply
No. Not yet. I have to mine fiat and then dump for sats.
Unfortunately, I seem to notice a large contingent of bitcoiners that seem to think it's not ok to make money from bitcoin projects.

Always the same amount in BTC? Or does it depend on any exchange rate?
reply
