In this brief YouTube clip, lawyer and financial educator Mark Kohler explains how a caregiver (or any service provider) can legally accept Bitcoin as payment. He advises that the caregiver simply list all acceptable payment types—cash, pesos, Bitcoin, or any other currency—in the caregiver agreement. He also recommends allowing payment in the U.S. dollar equivalent of any cryptocurrency, so the payer can remit the crypto value at the time of payment. Kohler illustrates the approach with his own practice, stating he accepts $1,000 in cash or $1,000 worth of Bitcoin for forming an LLC, emphasizing that the payment method does not affect the service provided.

How can I transfer bitcoin using a caregiver agreement? What I think you're saying is a caregiver, meaning your service as a person is you're a nurse going in and taking care of someone, and you want them to pay you in bitcoin. Okay, I do the same thing. I'm a lawyer. You can come and pay me for an LLC with $1,000 in cash or $1,000 of Bitcoin. I do not care. So in your caregiver agreement, say, I take cash, I take pesos, I take bitcoin, I take whatever and then just take it. Just put it in your caregiver agreement. They can pay you in the US Dollar equivalent of any crypto.
