As of September 2021, there are more than just a <a href=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/places-accept-bitcoin\/\">handful<\/a> of companies that accept cryptocurrencies as payment methods. And recently, even the country <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/842415ec-06cb-437b-932f-f868d4f55fc4\">El Salvador<\/a> has adopted this new form of currency. It cannot be denied that this new form of asset is quickly and silently seeping into our daily lives one day at a time.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<!--more--><p>Owing to that, technology-savvy companies are pushing this adoption even further by offering the option for employees to receive their compensation in cryptocurrencies. Although it may sound daunting, as we\u2019ve been accustomed to bank payments for decades, it\u2019s really not too complicated.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<p>By the end of this and after showing the pros and cons of getting paid in cryptocurrencies, you\u2019ll be better equipped with the knowledge to make your own decision.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<h2>Pros:<\/h2> \n<ul> \n <li aria-level=\"1\"> <h3>Quick payments<\/h3> <\/li> \n<\/ul> \n<p>It\u2019s been known that you\u2019ll have to wait a few days, sometimes even up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fexco.com\/fexco\/news\/how-long-international-bank-transfers-take\/\">a week<\/a>, to receive or make payments with a foreign bank account. But cryptocurrency doesn\u2019t follow any jurisdictions or borders. So regardless of where you are in the world, the transaction will be passed from anywhere within 10 minutes down to a few seconds.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<p>Also, because you\u2019re cutting out the middleman, you won\u2019t be slapped with those pesky wire transfer fees anymore.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<ul> \n <li aria-level=\"1\"> <h3>Simplicity<\/h3> <\/li> \n<\/ul> \n<p>Truth be told, your first interaction with cryptocurrencies can be quite nerve-wracking. After all, it\u2019s still money that we can spend that we\u2019re talking about. But the good news is that it\u2019s not as complicated and intimidating as it sounds.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<p>All you need to do is really just sign up for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asktraders.com\/learn-to-trade\/crypto-trading\/bitcoin-wallet-malaysia\/\">crypto wallet<\/a>. If you\u2019re living in a crypto-friendly part of our planet, it\u2019s even better because you can just use that to pay for your purchases. In Malaysia, however, we still need to convert that back to fiat currency if we were to use it. But even then, it\u2019s still just a click of a button on your smartphone.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<ul> \n <li aria-level=\"1\"> <h3>The pros of volatility<\/h3> <\/li> \n<\/ul> \n<p>It\u2019s true that cryptocurrency prices can fluctuate quite a lot, especially now that we\u2019re still in the infancy stages. But that isn\u2019t always a bad thing.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<p>The optimistic point of view of this issue is that because we\u2019re still rather new to it, its full potential has yet to be realized. That means whatever cryptocurrency that you\u2019re getting paid in stands a very good chance of having its value appreciated in the future. Particularly Bitcoin because of its nature of a limited supply of <a href=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/34876\/why-is-bitcoins-supply-limit-set-to-21-million\">21 million<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<p>This is the opposite effect of being weighed down by inflation. For instance, if you\u2019re getting paid 1 Bitcoin today, which equals approximately RM190k as of 11 September 2021, this specific Bitcoin might be worth a lot more in 2 years. Who knows, your RM190k worth of Bitcoin in 2021 might be worth RM250k in 2022.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/assets_comparehero\/pay-with-cryptocurrency-pros-cons-01.jpg?resize=640%2C335&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"pay-with-cryptocurrency-pros-cons-01\" width=\"640\" height=\"335\"><\/p> \n<h2>Cons:&nbsp;<\/h2> \n<ul> \n <li aria-level=\"1\"> <h3>The cons of volatility<\/h3> <\/li> \n<\/ul> \n<p>Volatility can bite you too.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<p>It\u2019s quite common to see Bitcoin having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/09\/07\/bitcoin-retreats-from-the-highest-level-since-may-as-el-salvador-adopts-it-as-legal-tender.html\">10%<\/a> fluctuations in a day. Simply put, if we get paid when Bitcoin is at $50,000 and it drops to $45,000 when we \u2018cash out\u2019, we\u2019ve just lost ourselves $5,000 worth of money.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<p>This can be a huge issue as market timing can be extremely stressful and there is nothing we can do about it. It\u2019s even more impactful when it\u2019s the money we use to pay our bills. It\u2019s completely rational as well because the statement \u201cWhat if Bitcoin drops from $50,000 to $5,000?\u201d is still a possibility.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<ul> \n <li aria-level=\"1\"> <h3>Vulnerability<\/h3> <\/li> \n<\/ul> \n<p>When we\u2019re talking about credit cards, Visa and Mastercard have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visa.com.my\/pay-with-visa\/security\/zero-liability.html\">zero-liability policies<\/a>. When we\u2019re talking about our money in the banks, we have the insurance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pidm.gov.my\/en\/media\/press-release\/2018-1-1\/pidm-protection-is-free\/\">PIDM<\/a>. But when it comes to cryptocurrencies, we are pretty much on our own. There isn\u2019t any fraud protection money to call and there is no one to help you cancel the transaction.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<p>On top of falling prey to scams, it\u2019s also common to have cyberattacks and having attempted hacks into your wallet. After all, everything is just on the screen. And the chances of recovering your money are slim to none, considering the fact that the hacker can be anywhere in the world.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/assets_comparehero\/pay-with-cryptocurrency-pros-cons-02.jpg?resize=640%2C335&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"pay-with-cryptocurrency-pros-cons-02\" width=\"640\" height=\"335\"><\/p> \n<ul> \n <li aria-level=\"1\"> <h3>Tricky taxes<\/h3> <\/li> \n<\/ul> \n<p>Bitcoin has been in our society for about <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/nextadvisor\/investing\/cryptocurrency\/what-is-bitcoin\/\">13 years<\/a>, but it\u2019s only recently that we\u2019re seeing more spotlight on this new asset. Because of that, most governments have yet to be informed enough about it, and in return, it makes our tax paying difficult even tougher than it already is.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<p>If you\u2019re planning to take the plunge and request BTC payments, it\u2019s always better to get yourself an accountant that also has crypto experience. This itself might be another cost for you, so it\u2019s up to you to decide if it\u2019s worth it.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<p>As it stands, more and more companies are investing in Bitcoin and paying their employees with it. There is no telling if this mass adoption is a fad, but one thing for sure is that it is not slowing down anytime soon. If you agree that cryptocurrencies are the future, now is probably the best time to get paid in Bitcoin and be ahead of the crowd.&nbsp;<\/p> \n<p><em><strong>Disclaimer<\/strong>: Neither CompareHero.my nor the content on it is intended as securities brokerage, investment, tax, accounting or legal advice, as an offer or solicitation of an offer to sell or buy, or as an endorsement, recommendation or sponsorship of any company, security or fund.
