I can think of one: if you get paid in Bitcoin, having to buy some GBPs just so you can buy a coffee or a sandwich is a hassle.

But getting paid in Bitcoin is already a way bigger hassle than getting paid in GBP in the first place.

According to your other comments, you opt in to getting paid in bitcoin. That's your choice. So you're creating the hassle.

Do you think your answer is in the spirit of the question?
