Yeah I agree but one could argue that you could just earn in fiat and stack in btc. However, I do know a couple of people who get paid in btc and i feel like their mentality is different. They are more "stingy" or frugal and only "cash out" to fiat what they really need, hence potentially saving more then in a fiat job - or at least that's the impression I get. Of course if you need all that btc to cover your everyday fiat living costs, then there's not going to be too much left - but better than saving your left over peanuts in the banks. Also, it could save you money in avoiding government theft (tax), if it's nonKYC btc pay. One of the people I know is no longer going to be paid in btc as the company has decided it's not going to be doing that any longer, so that's sad for them.
