Is it true that coinbase lets you earn salary in bitcoin?
Lmao to all the people getting paid in btc
Yes you can opt in to get paid in crypto, partial or fully
Is the BTC amount fixed upon hiring or do they just buy it for you at market price on pay day?
😂 upon hiring. Imagine starting at peak crypto this year and all of a sudden you’re paid 50% of your pay check
Why would you do that given tax implication with crypto. It’s considered an asset so you’ll have figure out gains every time you convert it to usd. Why not take usd and just invest however much you need to
How's that different from stock? High transaction fees is the only negative. Not being subject to wash sale rules is actually a positive. The whole idea of being paid in paper money is that you get more time in the market; you can't invest your base in the market before you actually get paid otherwise; this is the whole reason people prefer RSU over straight cash for comp.
I’ll give you a jar of air as your salary if you want.
