Esse final de ano eu tive uma conversa bem interessante sobre as questões trabalhistas com um brasileiro que trabalha e mora nos EUA. Eu sempre soube que aqui é bem caro para as empresas contratarem funcionários, que é sempre quase 2 ou 3 vezes o valor do salário o que se paga para contratações CLT. Mas uma coisa que nunca tinha ''percebido'' e que ele me contou, é como o regime trabalhista brasileiro na verdade é uma ''máquina de falencia'''.

Ele comentou que nos EUA, quando uma empresa está indo meio mal, ela conseque com muita agilidade demitir, diminuir os gastos e voltar a um tamanho ''funcional''. Enquanto que no Brasil, os custos de demissão fazem com que automaticamente a empresa vá a falencia.

Isso é verdade, já presenciei isso de perto
Empresa com 12 funcionários tendo que fechar por que não tinha como demitir uns 5 ou 6 e continuar trabalhando, pode parecer falta de planejamento ou administração, mas se você ver o quanto de dinheiro que gasta com as obrigações com um funcionário + impostos + sindicatos + contador etc e você compara com que o mercado cobra pelo mesmo serviço, você ve que tem coisa errada e beira o impossível trabalhar e administrar uma empresa

A saída foi trabalhar sozinho

exato, encontrei um colega de infância recentemente e ele está com uma empresa de 6 funcionários, perguntei se ele contratava CLT ou PJ (já esperando a resposta que seria PJ) e ele confirmou exatamente isso
além de tudo que foi mencionado o risco de tomar um processo trabalhista é menor.

O ponto é que aqui no Brasil as pessoas não veem as coisas assim.

O empresário é sempre o patrão malvadão, que está explorando o pobre coitado do trabalhador (que não assume risco nenhum).

Daí a legislação e a mentalidade do povo funcionam dessa forma. Vai falar em tirar direitos dos trablahadores da CLT para vc ver a reação das pessoas...


Temos até uma justiça do trabalho, coisa que não existe em nenhum outro país do mundo (talvez deva ter alguma outra exceção por aí em Uganda ou algo assim)

é curioso como o brasileiro é averso ao risco financeiro quando falamos de investimento, mas ao mesmo tempo a maioria tem dívidas e somos um país bem da festa...
concordo contigo que essas questões super fazem parte da cultura e a ideia do empresário malvadão é a mais difundida

Eu só não sakei direito ainda se Web3 e outras cryptos têm alguma força sem a bitcoin propriamente dita.

E por que isso seria importante?

Na verdade, o bitcoin é a maior força por trás de todas as criptomoedas.
Mas o bitcoin não impede o desenvolvimento da Web3 nem de nenhuma outra criptomoeda, pelo contrário.

Recomendo que voce se interesse por ambos, pelas altcoins da web3 e pelo bitcoin. O bitcoin terá um papel fundamental na web3 (se ela um dia existir de fato)

o que vc interpreta como web3?
na minha concepção já existe e está em processo de adoção

web3 para mim é a digitalização do valor, bitcoin, eth, dapps, já são web3

web2 é a digitalização da comunicação, instagram, facebook. youtube. etc...

e web1 a digitalização da informação. hyperlinks, google.

se quisermos transpor e pensar no que seria a web4 talvez estejamos falando de um metaverso imersivo e persistente (continua lá mesmo quando deslogamos.)

For some reason I hear you, this is almost like a trader who can't control his emotions. They will actually fall into the trap and lose a lot of their assets because of uncontrollable emotions. it's just that in slots it can really be 0. I don't think it's wrong to try a fairer casino. in my country slots are like cash games or ponzi. it will give an advantage to early adopters and then be set up for defeat at the end. but I don't have definitive proof yet. but I'm sure at least 90% of people who play slots longer always experience losses.
Early users can indeed win, but that doesn't guarantee they can win again in the next gambling game. Many people have experienced defeat from slot games, but that doesn't stop them from returning to slot games and playing slot games from other providers. They often move from one slot game to another because they think that their luck can come in another slot game. But that also won't guarantee they can win because winning from slot games depends on the luck of each gambler. If you have experienced consecutive losses from a slot game, you should immediately stop gambling on that slot game. You can come back after a few days to avoid increasing emotions and the desire to recover losses from the slot game.

yes, everybody heard of beginner's luck before
sometimes you get lucky when you are starting out something and think you are good at it but there's a mean reversion afterwards and you're back on not being good haha
life has interesting ways to trick us out
Thats why common sense and realistic approach would be always relevant or must something to have or simply it is really just that impossible for someone not to be able to distinguish about on the things on what must supposed to do and what are the things that needs to be avoided. Beginners luck is considered to those things that are commonly experienced when we are just starting up into something
on which it isnt really just that limited to gambling but also in other things life on which it is really that in connecting into those great calls when we are just starting up on which
this one would really be pushing you to go further just because you do believe that you could really be able to experience the same thing on which on the time that reality slap you then
this is where life realizations would kick in.

yes
brain over heart on these questions
mind over matter
one must study the things and think about what they want to do
of course it's much easier to make money than to keep it...

Já pensei em ler o Infinite Machine quando estava mais mergulhado em web3!
Ainda lerei. Acredito ser uma "biografia do Ethereum".

Tenho medo de ler esse Die with Zero e parar de me preocupar com o futuro, e sair gastando tudo e fazendo todas loucuras que temos vontade a todo momento! Haha
Me corrija se eu estiver errado!

Sim! O infinite machine é bem isso hahah uma biografia

O Die With Zero não é sobre gastar tudo adoidado e não guardar nada pro futuro!
Ele defende a ideia de que da mesma forma que planejamos acumular capital é importante “desacumular” pq o dinheiro não servirá de nada quando você morrer. Então seria melhor chegar num pico e aí começar a distribuir, seja em experiências e coisas para sua vida, seja em doações diretas para seus filhos e para caridade.

Ele comenta que é muito melhor dar o dinheiro em vida do que após a
Morte e também que a herança impactaria muito mais a vida de seus filhos entre 20-40 anos do que após os 55, quando a maioria recebe.

Tem muitas outras coisas e ele trás ideias diferentes da maioria dos livros de finanças

If you want to bypass KYC the best way is probably playing in cassinos that don’t have it at first place

Your strategy is good and it may work but its not fool proof, you may have the account blocked until KYC is done so take it into account…
568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours is the best time for a gambler to last while gambling? on: December 28, 2023, 12:23:21 PM
So the question again is: how many hours do you gamblers think are more appropriate to spend while gambling?
In my opinion, this really depends on what type of game you are betting on. I can spend hours on slots, while I don't spend much time on sports betting. The type of game will determine how much time you spend, so it always varies from one to another. I agree with some of your parts, the more time you spend actively gambling the more you lose. But this is just a habit, not something absolute for all gamblers.

How do you manage to last so long in the slots? I can't no matter how hard I try because when I play slots things don't work for me, I lose money very quickly and I can't do anything at all, if I play a little with little money I can't do it well either, and that's something that I feel that it limits me, that is why every time we are in a casino what we must do is be very careful so that we do not lose too much, and if we lose, things will not stop and it is possible that possible addictions may occur and that is What is the worst.

I play for a short time, I would like to play a lot, but the only way I can play a lot is to believe that I am false in games, because with my real money, I play for a short time and with that I have to know if I win or lose, that is what I can determine every time I play, if I win then I get what I have, I have made the mistake of leaving it in the casino and when I play I lose it.


Time spent on gambling will vary a lot from person to person
Not even sure this should be a thing to compare

Having long sessions is probably not the best idea since over time you’ll get more tired and your decision making will be impaired

Better to be well rested when gambling and to take short sessions
569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It is you who can't stop betting. on: December 28, 2023, 12:13:56 PM
In the end when i look at the thread you made just about your selfcontrol to do gambling.

I think everyone is aware of this because after all, with the situation that occurs in gambling, of course we all understand what we have to do when we want to try to stop, namely by means of good self-control but the problem is that talking about selfcontrol is very easy its just that how it works is still very difficult to do.

Selfcontrol is very important but there are still a lot of people who cant do it even though they already know what they have to do because in the end things like this can't just be about words but must come from perseverance and I still believe that this can only be done gradually.
Self-control isn't impossible if we are doing it at the start but we let the addiction happen to us making this thing hardly stop. That is why it was not unusual for many gamblers to keep on betting despite their losses because they are now on the chase as they think that they couldn't recover back their money if they stopped and so the betting continued.

As we are in gambling or even in another field, we must know how to control ourselves. We know how to enter, then we also know how to exit otherwise we are making ourselves a prison of our doings.




Self control will definitely be easier for some over others
But you are right, its a skill that can be trained and mastered
Revenge gambling, trying to make the money back the same way as you lost it, will take you anywhere, its not a good idea
Being aware of your emotions and actions is a must

571  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Tax Efficient With Your Gambling Habbits? on: December 27, 2023, 03:40:17 PM
I don't do this at all, and beside, I don't think we have an effective tax system here in my country, and as such, there is no one to come after you, if you report your gambling winnings or losses to the tax authorities; It's just between you and yourself.
 
Und even if our tax system is effective, it won't get to the gambling section, as the casinos are already paying heavily to the government to maintain their licence and their either annually or monthly tax payable, so gamblers will have little to worry about in regard to that.
 
But who will even want to give a penny back to their government in the form of tax for gambling winnings when they literally pay tax on all their expenses? At least gambling profits could be an exception.

I don't think anyone "enjoys" paying taxes, but people have different opinions and preferences regarding its importance and how fair it is to pay.

it's a common situation to see the government with not enough people to fiscalize tax payers and check what is being paid and what isn't.
many variables on this.

Who would love to pay taxes? If it weren't a crime not to pay taxes, then I doubt people would be diligent in filing their income tax returns. Every country has its own way of tax implementation; developed countries probably have more strict monitoring on tax compliance, so they are able to collect based on their expectations. In less developed and corrupt countries, the government may be lax in its implementation, resulting in a lower collection rate. However, the penalties, whether monetary or criminal, might still be the same if one is convicted. So, it's up to us, the people, to decide if we are willing to risk not paying our taxes.

the interesting thing that new technologies bring to the table is that now it's easier for individuals to protect themselves from the government if they want
but... one thing is for sure
there is no way to escape the consequence of our decisions.

I consider that it is the last straw of all that a government Demands that a person have to pay taxes for using a crypto casino, I don't say anything to those who use casinos that are with fiat money, and well they can consider it as something of a luxury , but the casinos that are fiat, are casinos controlled and regulated by governments and specialized entities , because fiat money is moved, whether dollar, euro or local currency of each country, that is considered to be well ncentralized, although it is I see it as a Problem because when there is a lot of money it is an equal problem to withdraw that money or something like that, because the majority of bankers and governments do not like people having so much money , it is in their best interest that they follow the model of corruption and issues that have to do with absolute control on their part, in this sense things can be affected by those who can bet the most According to what they spend , but in crypto I don't see it Well.

In fact, I have seen many people in the forum who do not give importance to this, they like to pay taxes because they use crypto , they like to pay taxes because they use crypto casino, I see that as very bad, because then we are in a crypto casino? I think that people who play with crypto and who own crypto Should not pay a cent to a government, perhaps the government bets some benefit on us people? At least I consider my country to be the most corrupt in the world, which is why I have always seen that when things are tried to be done with a better vision, people are already accepting all kinds of impositions like wild, the KYC , paying taxes , I will never agree with this, because that is what crypto technology is all about, not to give a single cent to a government or a person who are actually third parties , those who do it are really because for me it is not They have judgment.


what is your contry? if you don't mind sharing.

totally hear your point, it's impressive how assymetrical the government demands are.
though I think this reaches people differently, some simply don't care, others are really afraid of what the government can do to them (putting them in jail, etc...) so forth and so on...

<...>
Contratos de alugueis já podem ser firmados em qualquer moeda, inclusive bitcoin ou Dólar ou Real. Não existe mais moeda de curso for forçado em contratos. (ninguem é obrigado a aceitar pesos argentinos)
<...>

isso é bem grande, não?
já tem algum outro país que permite isso? perguntei pro GPT e ele respondeu isso:

Quote from: GPTézio
A possibilidade de firmar contratos de aluguel em moedas estrangeiras varia de país para país e pode depender de leis específicas de cada jurisdição. Não existe uma lista única e universal de países que permitam ou proíbam explicitamente essa prática. Aqui estão algumas considerações gerais:

1. **Estados Unidos:**
   - Em alguns contratos nos EUA, especialmente em transações comerciais, as partes podem acordar usar uma moeda estrangeira. No entanto, isso não é comum em contratos de locação residencial.

2. **União Europeia:**
   - Muitos países na União Europeia têm o euro como moeda comum, o que simplifica a questão da moeda em contratos entre países da UE. Entretanto, contratos podem ser redigidos em outras moedas se as partes concordarem.

3. **América Latina:**
   - Em alguns países da América Latina, onde a moeda local pode ser instável, pode haver mais flexibilidade na escolha da moeda em contratos.

4. **Países com Economias Estáveis:**
   - Em países com moedas fortes e estáveis, pode ser menos comum a necessidade de redigir contratos em moedas estrangeiras.

5. **Oriente Médio e Ásia:**
   - A permissibilidade de contratos em moedas estrangeiras pode variar consideravelmente na região, dependendo das leis locais.

É crucial pesquisar as leis específicas do país em questão e, se necessário, procurar orientação legal local para garantir o cumprimento das regulamentações vigentes. Em muitos casos, os contratos devem cumprir as leis locais e, se houver discrepâncias, as partes podem precisar adotar medidas adicionais para mitigar riscos legais e cambiais.

ele fugiu um pouco do fato que era só contratos de locação no meu prompt inicial então insisti:

Quote
A questão de permitir ou não contratos de locação em moedas estrangeiras pode variar dependendo da legislação de cada país. Em alguns lugares, pode haver regulamentações específicas que limitam ou regulam essa prática. Abaixo, destaco alguns exemplos de países onde a possibilidade de redigir contratos de locação em moedas estrangeiras pode ocorrer:

1. **Estados Unidos:**
   - Nos EUA, especialmente em contratos de locação comercial, é possível encontrar disposições que permitam o uso de moedas estrangeiras.

2. **Reino Unido:**
   - Em transações comerciais e, em alguns casos, até mesmo em contratos de locação, pode-se encontrar a possibilidade de usar moedas estrangeiras.

3. **Emirados Árabes Unidos:**
   - Nos Emirados Árabes Unidos, especialmente em Dubai, em contratos de locação comercial ou residencial, pode-se encontrar cláusulas permitindo moedas estrangeiras.

4. **Canadá:**
   - Embora a moeda principal seja o dólar canadense, em algumas áreas ou em contextos específicos, podem ocorrer contratos em moedas estrangeiras.

Lembre-se de que essas práticas podem variar e podem ser influenciadas por acordos específicos entre as partes envolvidas. Além disso, as leis e regulamentos podem mudar ao longo do tempo, então é aconselhável consultar um profissional legal ao considerar redigir contratos de locação em moedas estrangeiras.

ele usou também o exemplo para outras moedas e não para bitcoin por exemplo.
como o governo fará para roubar arrecadar os impostos nesse caso? supondo que seja firmado em crypto, dependeria da boa vontade das partes envolvidas, não?

to bem curioso para ver os próximos passos na Argentina depois dessas mudanças, vou ler o artigo completo aqui.

oh, yes, I totally understand it's better not to gamble if you're under the effect of alcohol
that's why I though it'd be something the casinos would be doing, it's on their business model to make you spend
but you're right, maybe they're not as evil as I though hahaha
The effect of alcohol can be very big on consciousness and emotions because alcohol itself has the function of eliminating consciousness and also making the heart pump faster, which can make person do many things without realizing it just to get what they want.
Moreover, gambling while under the influence of alcohol is just like someone who is willing to lose money because they are careless in their actions, are not aware of using excess money, and are not aware that they are too brave to take risks.
This allows gamblers who are under the influence of alcohol to experience condition where their performance in activities is only controlled by sudden increase in emotions.

However, casinos provide alcoholic drinks, both for free and branded alcoholic drinks, which are sold at high prices because from these sales can also get number of additional profits.
But talking about gambler who is affected by alcohol reminds me of the case of young man who was addicted to online gambling and sold his car directly just to be able to get money and be able to make deposit to gamble.
He gambled while having an alcoholic party with his friends.

exactly, alcohol puts a burden on one of the most important skills while gambling: your decisions.
if you're in a poor moment to make decisions you're definitely be a worse gambler
the same if you're under heavy stress or going through heavy emotional periods like grief or breakups.

sorry but it's still not clear for me
is it biting other player? haha
is it the name of an specific way of playing in the soccer field?
what is it about?

can you say a bit more about this?
They meant that he literally bit other players like a crazy fool and embarassed himself forever by making it a huge meme. He bit some on their shoulders and some others on their hands like a maniac.

He is an outstanding player for sure, but he has some clear psychological issues which anyone watching football over the years are aware of.

Being curious about the biting incident I searched how that things happened and found out that there are two incidents of biting records under Luis Suaréz.  One was during the fight against PSV Eindhoven (20 November 2010)when he bit Otman Bakkal on the shoulder which resulted in the suspension of Luis Suaréz for two matches and an undisclosed fine[1].  Another incident is against Chealse's  Branislav Ivanović[1] in 21 April 2013.

Well, there are no more incidents of biting that happen after those two incidents. Browsing the guy's achievements, Luis Suaréz is indeed a great athlete with colorful records behind him. It is a great deal to have him as the new ambassador of Duelbits.



[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Su%C3%A1rez

haha surprised about it
wouldn't expect biting to be literal since for sure the player would get a card or some kind of suspensions

crazy world we live in

interesting to see that he's still on the game and is a good player

Why because they can't control themselves, even when they are not an addicted gambler?
What do we have to say about this?

because people believe it is a question of luck and not of mathematics/study/statistics/probability/study etc etc...

as soon as you realize these aspects, and play in this way, you realize that you don't have to rely on anything related to "chance" but you have to be "scientific" in your approach.

how many gamblers play on that way? Smiley

In my opinion this is a rational way to look at a question that is emotional
Gamblers don’t keep gambling only for the hope of winning but also for the small dopamine hits and neurotransmitters imbalances

578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I learnt from a crackhead about gambling on: December 26, 2023, 12:08:54 PM
~

Yes, and whether you believe it or not, I have seen people on the internet, citizens of the United States of America who believe that in order to fully defeat the cartels and decrease their economical power a new set of drugs are supposed to be legalized and normalized in that country. I have read them to say cocaine should be legal in the United States in the same manner marihuana has been legalized. Even though I can agree the war on drugs has mostly been a failure, I don't believe allowing those kind of substances to circulate for recreational purposes is the solution, even if the government guaranteed the purity of them and also applied taxation on it's purchase.
We could also argue that even if Cocaine gets legalized on the USA, criminals will just move onto other more addictive substances to continue to fill their accounts.

If people can already develop very serious problems from their bad gambling behaviors, I don't even want to imagine what would happen if drugs like crack and cocaine become more widespread and easy to access to the general public. Because the legalization would imply an increase of offer and hence and decrease of price in a very short period of time.
  Sad

It's a big question what would happen if all drugs were legalized, but from what I know prohibition is not the answer. Same with gambling. If it was illegal in all countries it wouldn't mean people would stop gambling. Hardly. Rather they would find ways to gamble on the dark web, or in some shady places situated in the dark alleys. I'd even say you make something more attractive to some people when you ban it.

It’s shortsighted to say that legalizing would increase supply and then reduce price and that’s it
In reality it happened before that places legalized it and ended up seeing less use
But it’s not only about that but about reducing the war on drugs which is pure stupidity on a game that will never finish and also have better quality controls which will make drug use safer for those who want to use it

I have noticed that there are multiple casinos in the crypto space owned by the same person or company. I am curious about the reasons behind creating additional casinos when there is already a running and profitable one.

How does this practice contribute to their business? It seems illogical as it might increase operating expenses without an obvious benefit.

Gamblers, any thoughts on this?

In my view, they can build one more company/brand with a little more expense which they can be sold for a big amount to someone else that is how the shark investors think. But there is no reason if they are not really have any idea to sell the business in future or have different games from one another.

Building to sell is indeed an option. Though it will vary from owner to owner. Each one will have different intentions
Sometimes building a competitor will make the whole market better for all
