**Article by Julie Bort**:  
 Can you imagine getting your paycheck in Bitcoin? That would be just dandy for a lot of IT professionals.

Events company [Tech in Motion](http://www.techinmotionevents.com/) polled 847 IT pros about accepting Bitcoin as payment for work, and more than half, 51%, said yes; another 18% said maybe. Only 10% think Bitcoin won't last.

It probably helps that the value of Bitcoin is really high right now. As of Tuesday, one Bitcoin is worth about $850, [according to Coindesk.](http://www.coindesk.com/price/)
