Steem salary?

I've been having this thought lately. What if some company decided to get into Steem and even invite their employees to participate in an experiment?

Because Steem prices are so volatile, it wouldn't be wise to go all in and start paying their employees in Steem only. But what if with common agreement a company started would create Steem accounts for their co-workers and started to pay salaries partly in fiat (normal currency) and partly in Steem. There shouldn't be forced participation, people could opt-out of this experiment, if they wanted.

I can imagine a company of say, some 20 people having a constant stream of revenue because of their products and services. So they could take a percentage of that revenue and buy some Steem for everyone. The next month they could do the same and the amount of Steem everyone in the company has would double (provided prices stay the same). And so they keep buying more Steem with the percentage of their fiat money and distributing it among their co-workers as part of their salary.

Little by little, month after month they would accumulate more Steem and power it up, of course. A year into the experiment they would have probably 10x or more SP than when they started.

This way a company could introduce their personnel into crypto world the soft way. They don't need to buy Steem themselves, the company would buy it for them.

But that's not all. Holding SP is nice as an investment but as we all know there is so much more to Steem than that.

What if from day 1 ALL of the co-workers started posting their daily reports (something like documenting their day) and upvoting and commenting on interesting blogs they find on this platform? I'm thinking of @actifit and their fitness activity reports would work nicely here. People would want to get more upvotes and AFIT tokens too so they would start tracking their steps. Obviously their network of followers would grow along with their SP.

So not only they would get more and more SP every month because of part of their salaries being distributed to them in Steem, not only because SP gains interest over time just for holding it, but also the company and their co-workers would become active members of the community and their status on the blockchain would gradually increase as well. Oh and let's not forget about our hope that Steem price would increase in general in the future and what this would do to a person accumulating and holding more SP every month.

This probably only works if a person gets a large enough salary from a company that they don't rely on this percentage which is being distributed to them in Steem. In other words, it's like investment money, not eating and bill pay money.

In my view this is absolutely possible because economic common sense and the rules of financial independence tell us we shouldn't spend all our salary and maybe invest a portion of it. This percentage of course should be such that we shouldn't be afraid to lose it. The exact amount is probably different for every person.

It's not science fiction, people are buying and powering Steem all the time. It doesn't matter whether this money comes from a salary or from a business revenue or from some other source. What I'm proposing is that this could be done not on behalf of the individual but on behalf of a company and a group of people that are part of this company.

Do you think this could work?
