Would you take bitcoin for payment?

This is so beyond random. I don’t know anything about this stuff, I don’t even dabble in this. I have no idea what the hell bitcoin even is and why I should care.

But this rich ass dude has like 60 bitcoins? He said he could pay me in dollars to do work, like 8 hours. It’s probably $1000 worth of work or he can give me a bitcoin.

Google says it’s worth 98K and 1 million in like 5 years? I don’t get it. Would I be a royal dumbass not to take this?

Edit: I can’t even reply to this many replies. I’m not sure why asking a question makes so many people angry, good lord lol. I’m not a “troll” I’m just asking a question in a place when I know it would get answered. I don’t know the guy, my brother in law has known him for years and has done work with him for years. He told me he’s very nice and always pays really well. I never even got a chance to chat with him because I was too busy wiring stuff. I didn’t know bitcoin could be cut into fractions until I asked. My brother in law is a doofus so him saying, “a bitcoin” could have meant, “paid in bitcoin.” The job is more work than anticipated at this point and I have to go back tomorrow. The guy handed me 2K in 100’s tonight “as a tip” when I expected 1K to do the work. Thank you to anyone who added some insightful stuff about the robinhood/apps etc. I’ll get around to asking him about it tomorrow as he seems dead set on paying us even more money for the work.
