Bitcoin: Would you want to get paid in cryptocurrency?
So how would you feel about getting paid in the high profile cryptocurrency?
From early next year, staff at Japanese internet firm GMO Group will be among the latest to find out how that feels.
More than 4,000 employees are being given the option to receive a portion of their salary in Bitcoin.
Critics say it is a marketing stunt, announced at a time when global interest in the financial technology has never been higher.
It also carries risks: the volatile currency slumped last week but has since rebounded by more than 50%.
But what will it really mean for employer and employee?

Whatever the risks associated with price volatility, the company is giving option to employee not forcing it. So who got interest in bitcoin will take it. I would love to get 50% of my salary in bitcoin.
Yes, I prefer to be paid in crypto actually! Helps the economy form too
