Not a bad question. I would humbly add, if a person's skill improves through their experience in their position, they become more valuable as an employee. Also, as Bitcoin deflates, the business makes more in buying power. So, it's possible a person's salary will stay the same year over year, but the deflating Bitcoin means the employee will be gaining buying power. So while it may be possible for an employee to get a pay decrease in unit terms, if their skill increases and the business is generating more profits, it's also possible the employee would keep the same salary, or get a raise in unit terms.
