Out of curiosity, what do your BTC-paid employees do with the BTC? Are there enough BTC-accepting merchants where you are that doing a significant portion of your spending in BTC is reasonable? Are they able to buy groceries, pay rent, etc in BTC? Or do they just hope that BTC will go up and they'll make money on the exchange?

This may come off as critical, but it's not intended that way. I'm genuinely curious as to how far BTC has come as a 'real currency'.
