Bitwage is a payroll and invoicing system build on top of Bitcoin, which allows wages from an employer located in the US, UK, or EU to be deposited directly into a special checking account. The funds deposited into this checking account are converted into Bitcoin, and then sent to the wallet of your choice.
Workers are able to indicate what percentage of their paychecks will be sent to this checking account, with the account appearing to be a normal account to the employer. To date, Bitwage has completed $28 million in transactions, and boasts 18,000 users in over 90 countries around the world.
This can be used by anyone from digital nomads to employees of large companies, or even government agencies.
