Ah yes, that'll solve all problems (https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/).

Cynicism aside, I'd rather not receive compensation in a currency that's mainly used for speculation. And to exchange it back into a "meaningful" currency somewhat securely requires me to go through an exchange, which is usually again a company that can make up their own policies? Seems to me this is just making it more complicated and more resource intensive.

Another alternative to using an exchange is to actually spend the bitcoin on a good or service. There's quite a few places where you can use Bitcoin to buy things, like web hosting, socks, coffee, and more.

You don't necessarily need to go through an exchange. You can also do a P2P trade, use a crypto ATM or even spend it. But I understand it can be complicated and scary if you're not used to it.
