In 2018 the employees of the Japanese company GMO will be able to receive part of their salary in bitcoins.
It has been an interesting month for Bitcoin, which has broken records on numerous occasions reaching over $ 12,000. Some still remain skeptical maintaining that it is a bubble.
It is also a controversial issue because of the legal challenges involved. Goldman Sachs has labeled bitcoin as a weapon for fraudsters, and public agencies in different countries continue to warn about the illegality of digital currency and its ICO.
However, others increasingly embrace the most popular cryptocurrency. The Japanese company GMO Internet Group has announced that in 2018 it will launch a bitcoin payment system for its employees, reports coindesk.
 | Workers who want to receive their salary in bitcoin may opt for a reduced amount of 10,000 yen (around 75 euros) or a higher amount of 100,000 yen (around 755 euros). Employees who receive part of their salary in cryptocurrencies will receive an extra 10% as incentive. |
