- ricopags 6y agoHow does getting paid in BTC work? Are you set a rate of bitcoin you get paid that amount or do you have a salary in dollars and you get paid whatever btc satisfies that?
- gautamcgoel 6y agoCan you explain how you paid rent in Bitcoin? There's no way my landlord would put up with that!
- wongarsu 6y agoAny VPN service offers the option to pay in bitcoin, as do many other sites. There are entire marketplaces on Tor where bitcoin is the primary currency.
