sure, i can see the value of using stock-based compensation for a company, but it seems like it’s a sub-optimal outcome for nearly all employees.
shouldn’t a job well-done be recognized with money? i was under the impression the only reasons tech employees actually like stock-based compensation is because a) everyone else is doing it, and b) because dollars lose value over time.
I always saw stock comp as lottery ticket unless:
A) high growth cie backed by "major venture"
B) mega cap
Always ended up looking for more base comp instead.
For me, having a fixed percentage of base comp in bitcoin would definitely be an incentive over 100% fiat!

Nada. This isn’t why companies do this at all.
Most employees will rarely think about speculating against the dollar. Not everyone is a finboy
