So this restaurant chain is jumping on the Bitcoin train and will start paying their workers in it. This is pretty cool, especially for those on the job there since they’ll be earning Bitcoin instead of just cash, which works out to about $0.21 worth of Bitcoin an hour.
They’re kicking this off on March 1st. It’s interesting to see how they started by accepting Bitcoin for payments, then moved to SBR, and now they want to pay their employees in Bitcoin too.
Honestly, if I had the chance to work there, I’d love to earn some Bitcoin on the side. What do you all think? Is it better for employees to get paid in Bitcoin or stick to regular money?
Maybe you didn't understand the information you posted, they are not going to pay their workers in bitcoin, they are only going to pay a bitcoin bonus of $0.21 per work hour to all the hourly employees of their company-operated restaurants and this can be only claimed after two years.
let's take for example you work there 10 hours daily for 5 times a week, then you'll be earning an extra $52.5 worth of BTC weekly which you can claim after 2 years. It only seems to me as an avenue to DCA $52.5 into BTC for a 2yrs period if the worker is going to remain there for the said 2 years.
There is an existing thread for this discussion, Steak 'n' shake now pays their workers in Bitcoin.
You can lock this thread and post the update that there is now a date for when the initiative will begin which was not announced earlier. Any future discussions can also go in there.
Oh ok. Thanks for the suggestion because if there is a thread for this topic then there is no need to spam a new one as it is better to discuss this topic there. So, as per your instructions, I am locking this thread now.
