You fucked up. Bitcoin companies that pay in Bitcoin are doing something similar to Strikes "pay me in bitcoin" feature. I think other platforms allow you to do a similar thing. Basically instead of buying Bitcoin directly, Bitcoin is bought automatically. The benefit is you are buying before taxes hit your paycheck, but you are not being paid directly in Bitcoin.

You can sign up to any service like Strike and get the exact same experience any employer currently offering to pay in Bitcoin will provide. You didn't have to die that hill and should have done way more research and had about a thousand times more patience with your boss.
