“An Irish company has begun paying its employees’ salaries in bitcoin. Dublin-based electronic repairs firm GSM Solutions, which hosts Ireland’s first bitcoin ATM, is now paying five of its employees partly in bitcoin instead of euros. ‘We set salaries in euros, so that the euro amount they get each pay period does not fluctuate with the price of bitcoin,’ said GSM Solutions’ Managing Director Alan Donohoe in a blogpost. Tony Vaughn, a small town sheriff from Kentucky, became the first US government employee to be paid in bitcoin. GSM says it hopes to convert the rest of its employees to bitcoin by the end of the year.”
