THE "WE PAY IN BTC" LIE (UNMASKED)
MicroStrategy "Pioneering Bitcoin payroll!" Optional, custodial, USD-taxed.
Strike "Paid in Bitcoin!" Same as above—just with extra Lightning glitter.
Coinbase "Crypto salaries!" You get IOUs that they can freeze anytime.
WHY NOBODY TRULY PAYS IN BITCOIN
Legal Cowardice: Fear of IRS/regulatory backlash.
Fiat Brainrot: Can’t imagine pricing labor in sats (not USD).
Custodial Control: They need to keep employees dependent on their platforms.
HOW YOU’D REALLY DO IT (IF YOU WEREN’T A POSER)
✅ Employment Contract: *"50,000 sats/hour, paid hourly via Lightning."*
✅ Non-Custodial: Keys handed directly (or LN invoices only).
✅ Tax Strategy: Barter accounting (no USD conversion).
(Spoiler: Zero ‘Bitcoin companies’ do this—because they’re still fiat-pilled.)
These clowns aren’t building a Bitcoin economy—they’re preserving the old one with orange paint.
#FiatPayrollsInDisguise
#RealBitcoinersDontNeedHR
P.S. Next time a CEO brags "We pay in Bitcoin!", ask:
"Cool. Show me one employee who’s never touched a dollar."
...then watch the backpedaling. 😏
