Paying a remote employee in Bitcoin

Hey guys,

As a fellow believer of Bitcoin, I’ve been hodling away and a bit of a lurker on here.

Anyways, I run a small app development business, and I have a developer overseas who I pay crazy fees to transfer salary to each month.

And I thought, why not just send payment with bitcoin? It’d be cheaper, and faster?

Though I have a rough idea on the way to do it, I’m not sure if it’s the best way though.

Here’s my plan. On the day of payment, send fiat to the exchange. Buy Bitcoin at market price and send it immediately to my employee. Hope that he (if he wishes) exchanges to fiat asap to avoid fluctuations in value.

What do you guys think?
