Hopefully I will need 5-10% more because while I can do groceries and phone contract in sats, I need to pay bills in fiat and need that 5-10% to pay network fees
You can often get 5-10% premium when selling BTC for fiat in OTC markets, like hodlhodl.com, if you lower your time preference and act as a market maker.
If the employment contract was tied to an amount of BTC, then it is worth a large cut since it is only a matter of time until the next halving.
Imagine your employer needing to come to you to negotiate a pay cut since your BTC amount is too valuable. Turning the tables and making your time worth increasingly more is a dream for every fiat miner.
All depends on the job. Most of the jobs I see in BTC are heavy in IT. Plus lately BTC companies are laying off people. Bitcoin magazine let go a lot of people. Voltage reduced staff. Fold as well. It’s nice to be down for the cause but you still gotta eat and pay rent.
If I could lock-in a salary in BTC that would not go down as BTC got more valuable (in USD terms), then I would take a discount. However, as I am part owner of my business, this would not be a great move since it would end up costing our company more money to keep paying me that fixed amount of BTC.
If the BTC amount fluctuates, then I don't really see the need to be paid directly in BTC at the moment because, while it would be really cool, I can essentially get paid in BTC now without anyone knowing. I just send my direct deposit to a place that automatically buys BTC for me.
I'm at the stage in my career where I have put so much time and energy into getting where I am now that it would not make sense to switch fields and go into a bitcoin-related job.
Regardless of currency, never discount your work. Companies and corporations are doing everything they can to underpay for your labor, why on earth would you willingly accept less!
