Thanks. So from the sound of this, rather than being paid with a fixed amount of bitcoins (treating it as a currency), you were paid with a fixed amount of Euros (treating it as a currency) and it was transferred using bitcoins (treating it as a financial instrument). This satisfies my curiosity: I have seen uses of bitcoins as a financial instrument (although this is the first time I've heard of it being used for salary payments), but I have yet to see it used as a currency (except for speculators).
