Does anyone who works at coinbase actually take a portion of their salary in Bitcoin? Is there any benefit to it compared to just buying BTC with your own money? Tc 250 Yoe 3.5
Is this really a thing that coinbase employees can choose between USD and BTC as salary payment?
Yep, we can
Can you forward load it? Like will coinbase buy my next year's salary in Bitcoin and pay me out the value as BTC? E.g. if bitcoins doubles relative to USD I'll still get my X Bitcoin every 2 weeks? Or are they just converting the USD amount every 2 weeks? If the prior I might consider it (leveraged investment). If the latter then it's not worth it
It's the latter
@lcxt Then what incentive would the employee have to stay if BTC crashes Also, forward loading will be like advance payment, because the company has now locked that money for you in BTC, why would they want to do that
No transaction fee
Tax evasion?
Still going to be reported by employer.
