New research from payments platform Paysafe has found that more than half of cryptocurrency holders want to receive their salary in the form of digital assets such as bitcoin or ethereum.

55% preferred the option, rising to 60% among 18- to 24-year-olds. Chief among them is that they see cryptocurrencies as a smart investment, believing that they may get paid this way in the future, as well as greater financial flexibility.

The survey is based on a questionnaire of 2,000 cryptocurrency owners in the US and UK, so people in other countries may have different opinions. In countries with capital controls or high inflation, the number could be higher, but those places weren’t surveyed, so it’s impossible to know what their opinion is.

When the topic of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies comes up, dissenters often cite tulip mania, or that these assets are in a bubble and they will burst, which is not true even for existing Bitcoin holders. Firmness: 70% of respondents have had doubts at some point in their cryptocurrency investment history, and 49% have withdrawn some or all of their cryptocurrency holdings because of those doubts, not surprising surprise.
