So you based your statement that "i know alot of people that are getting paid in bitcoin for their labor" on a group of people you know whose "main focuses is the blockchain and the cryptoverse."
Very, very, very few people get paid in bitcoin because, you know, almost no one takes it as a form of payment and almost no one uses it to pay their bills, especially their business-related bills.
I know a lot about alternative currencies. Let's not kid ourselves that they have caught on, or that they might have some serious growing pains (or terminations) in the future. It's a seriously speculative investment and shouldn't be presented as anything other than that.
