I found the title of this post to be misleading or at least stressing its point. The article says

"Some Internet Archive employees have elected to receive some of their pay in Bitcoin in April."

so it's not all employees, not all of their pay and not all of the time, as I expected from the headline.

I totally agree. This should really be changed.

Giving employees the option to take pay in bitcoins is a completely different issue to mandating it, as the title seems to imply.

And then when the title is changed, we give admins hell for changing titles. But you're right.
Thanks for clarifying this. I agree. I went into the article thinking it would be a compulsory change to bitcoin, not one employees could choose. That changes it to being somewhat cutting edge instead of tyrannical.
