Sometimes I hear people seem almost scared to ask employers if they pay in Bitcoin, I think it's because the workers themselves aren't really sure that they even want bitcoin as a payment. They like the idea of sats, but they fail to admit they (secretly?) like fiat more. #weresoearly
Generally speaking, it's becuase there's no privacy mechanism with a static address.
Silent Payments changes this, however it's still being fleshed out.
Not saying that direct deposit is better but for most use cases it's more convenient.
That being said also tools like Bitwage exist.
I think the biggest fear with Bitcoin is most people don't get big enough wages that would necessarily benefit from it as a wage.
I think most people prefer paying fiat bills with fiat, and buying Bitcoin with the leftover money since currently it's the more convenient, and cheaper option.
Most people love these taxes I think I found it. They wait until January to claim the "excess" and go shopping with it. 🤣🤣🤣 That's what they love, to pretend they have extra money
Why involve my employer when I can direct deposit to Fold or Strike and convert. Talking to HR is just one more unessissrsy step and they would probably pass on any cost to acquire the Bitcoin to me.
That's for now, while your employer doesn't care much about sats yet, cause he's getting fiat discount (tax et all)...but they'll be forced to, because you'll demand it, your state is working towards that too, stores will soon do the same, and the federal government will as well.
This thing is too sexy to pass so to speak.
