Re: I'm Jonathan Chester, Founder & President of Bitwage. Ask Me Anything!

I'm re-reading Antifragile by iconoclast thinker Nassim Taleb these days. He writes "Never ask anyone for their opinion [...] Just ask them what they have -or don't have- in their portfolio" Having met or read about a few people in the bitcoin community, I have come to think it's a ...

Re: I'm Jonathan Chester, Founder & President of Bitwage. Ask Me Anything!

Do you also provide the opposite service? Ie, if a business wanted to pay salaries in bitcoin and employees wanted to receive local fiat currency?

That, in my opinion, also closes a loop. It allows businesses to keep bitcoins (hedge against price fluctuations if desired just as with any other ...

Is it the same rate for individuals who want to split their paycheck and employers who use you for payroll?

I'm Jonathan Chester, Founder & President of Bitwage. Ask Me Anything!

Hi all,

I founded Bitwage, the largest bitcoin payroll provider with the most users and volume. Together with my co-founder, John Lindsay, we set out to help close the loop in the bitcoin ecosystem, by allowing anyone to receive their wages in bitcoin without needing their employer to sign up. Over ...
