Bitcoin

Interested in this. Do you know many companies that pay contractors or teams via Bitcoin?

It’s going to be hard to do taxes for that though

1. Lots of factors come in play here like transaction fees, transaction speed, trading slippage. Usually the best way is to work with OTC desks (like FTX OTC for example) which involves KYC at some point.

2. For accounting and taxes, there are actually companies out there whose business is in helping people sort this out. varies country to country, and due diligence of course.

1. Thanks! Investigating that currently.

2. Yes I figured there must be others who face the same challenges. It doesn't seem too difficult from our point of view but not sure from a contractors point of view. Will check those companies out in the meantime.
