New Zealand Can Now Pay Employees with Digital Currency紐西蘭開放使用數位貨幣支付薪資

【摘要2020.3.29.蘋果】

New Zealand is one of the first nations to approve digital currency payments for salaries. This means that employers are allowed to pay in cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, as long as they are matched to one currency. This move makes digital currencies normal by using them as everyday payment methods.

Many people around the world have concerns about cryptocurrencies because there are very few rules for them, and they can’t be tracked. This means that cryptocurrencies can be used to buy guns, drugs, or other illegal items, and the police won’t know who bought them.

紐西蘭是核准使用數位貨幣來支付薪資的首批國家之一。這意味著僱主獲准用像比特幣這類的加密貨幣來給薪，只要它們與一種貨幣等值即可。這個措施讓數位貨幣成為日常生活中的付帳方式，藉此來使它們正常化。

世界各地有許多人擔憂加密貨幣，因為用來規範它們的準則不多，而且它們也無法被人追蹤。這表示加密貨幣能夠拿來購買槍枝、毒品或是其他非法物品，而且警方根本不會知道買家是誰。
