Why not in gold while we're at it?

Both are equally stupid, and you have to exchange them to buy most of the things you might need.

I mean, asking for $500 in gold every paycheck would be kinda cool, or getting gold coinage each pay cycle on a rolling basis, as many coins as your repeated $500 contributions buy.

It'd be friction against spending, a little bit of investing, in the case of gold, but friction against spending with crypto only makes sense if you don't lose a lot on moving it into a real bank account.

You can do this, today, if you want, via an IRA or some 401(k)s.

Yeah but my 401(k) tax statement paperwork doesn't make me feel like a pirate.
