Well bitcoin is at 95k now so seems like she made the right choice? If I got my bonus is bitcoin I would’ve cashed out yesterday

That’s annoying. You give them an opportunity, and they cash out right away. Can’t really control what they do with it, but it’s definitely frustrating when people don’t hold out for the long-term value.

I am sure you recognize that not everybody is sold on bitcoin. There are even conversations about ESPP shares. Once they are received being sold immediately not everybody is engaged in crypto, option, trading, stock trading I’m sure some of the employees kept their bitcoin in hopes that it’ll be $1 billion in five years.

It’s those suckers that you can keep profiting off. I’ve been in and out of bitcoin for many many years and it’s only real use it to dump on the next greatest sucker 🤣

A bonus is for your employees to spend how they want in recognition of their work that year. Don’t be that guy.

Not everyone is fascinated by all the crypto pump and dump schemes. And this way your employee has actual money she can spend on something useful. She's smart, you should promote her.

Maybe she will buy back at support…

She has bigger problems if she looks like a horse

That's a nice bonus gifttho
