3  Local / Ekonomi, Politik, dan Budaya / Apakah Indonesia harus mengikuti saran Bank Dunia on: May 16, 2023, 11:30:35 AM
seperti yang di ketahui, hingga saat ini pemerintah indonesia masih menggunakan batas (pendapatan/hari/kepala) kemiskinan sekitar Rp. 30 ribuan namun Bank Dunia menekankan pada pemerintah indonesia untuk menaikkan atau memperbaharui batas tersebut menjadi sekitar Rp. 40 ribuan, Bank Dunia mengklaim bahwa jika pemerintah indonesia melakukan itu maka bantuan sosial yang wajib di berikan atau di keluarkan oleh pemerintah indonesia bakal meningkat.

Quote
Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani Indrawati mengungkapkan pada dasarnya pemerintah Indonesia menyambut baik berbagai usulan dari Bank Dunia dalam upaya mengentaskan kemiskinan. 

Namun, untuk hal mengubah batas garis kemiskinan, jika Indonesia menggunakan garis US$3,2 per hari, otomatis 40 persen masyarakat Indonesia tergolong miskin.  “Kalau Indonesia dapat mengentaskan kemiskinan ekstrem menjadi 0 persen, gunakan US$3.

Jika kami menggunakan US$3, sebanyak 40 persen masyarakat Indonesia mendadak miskin,” ujarnya dalam dalam World Bank's Indonesia Poverty Assessment – “Pathways Towards Economic Security” di Jakarta, Selasa (9/5/2023).

menurut mas/mbak sekalian, apakah saran yang di berikan oleh Bank Dunia tersebut bakal berdampak baik untuk kestabilan ekonomi indonesia atau malah bakal menjadi pengganggu kestabilan ekonomi indonesia yang perlahan mulai tumbuh?

in the video, it is not explained which region (city) it comes from but it is clear that the parade is from my country, in the parade it is clear what slot players get when they play from the "first" month (still motorbikes are expensive) to month "fourth" (ugly motorcycle).

without direct education by the central and local governments to young people and the general public, I think this kind of parade is not effective enough, it's even obvious, the parade is the initiative of the private community in the area.

do you think, a parade like this will be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction?

6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Taxes on NFT holders on: March 29, 2023, 08:48:37 PM
Quote
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has taken its first formal steps in laying out rules for the taxation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), potentially exposing them to a maximum long-term capital gains tax rate of 28% if they are considered collectibles rather than the 20% that applies to other digital assets and to securities. The March 21 Notice 2023-27 says that the agency is intending to issue specific rules for NFTs, which can represent collectible assets (Artwork like the BoredApe Yacht club or Crypto Punks series) and non-collectibles (event tickets) and sometimes both.

This notice marks the first formal attempt by the IRS on laying out guidelines for NFT taxation. Previously taxpayers have been applying general rules applicable to property for NFT transactions, relying on IRS Notice 2014-21 issued in 2014. This notice also comes as part of a visible if undeclared campaign by the executive branch, federal agencies, and some members of Congress against the digital-assets industry.

NFT Tax Treatment
Section §408(m)(2) of the U.S. Tax Code defines a collectible as:

any work of art
any rug or antique
any metal or gem
any stamp or coin
any alcoholic beverage
any other tangible personal property specified by the secretary of the Treasury
Taxation of an NFT under current IRS practice depends on the asset it represents. The agency calls this “look-through analysis” and encourages filers to use it when determining tax consequences until the new guidance is issued. For example, a gemstone represented by an NFT would be a collectible, but the right to develop a plot of land in the metaverse would not.

Collectible Vs. Non-Collectible
The status matters for tax rates and reporting requirements. Long-term capital gains generated from NFTs classified as collectibles could be subject to a 28% tax rate, above the 20% of other capital assets. Moreover, collectible-NFT sales should be reported on Form 8949, Column (f) with code “C” to indicate to the IRS that it’s a collectible as opposed to a regular capital asset.
you can read the full article here--

after the US government imposed a 30% tax on the mining industry, it seems that the US government will not stop there, they planning to make new tax rules on NFT holders. it seems that this decision will have a big impact on the future of the NFT token category.

For those who have NFT category tokens, are you going to sell immediately or are you going to continue to follow the development of new rules on NFTs?

based on a report from ESPN,

Quote
this is my friend,, he has 1 child his life is now destroyed in his wife and children..
his daily work he collects used goods then at night he uses them for deposits..
Once, he got 180 million rupiah inherited from his father for rent, but it was used up to play slots, then he got money from selling his mother's jewelry and used it for slots, even worse, he had 4 cows, he sold all 100 million rupiah to play slots too.
now his only assets are a smartphone and a Honda Spacy motorbike (BPKB has been mortgaged). I once asked until when did you live like this, Den (Aden's name)? He replied, until I die I don't care if I want to lose, how can I find money because it's already too deep and I've lost everything, I might as well live like this. I just stroke my chest while watching him play slots, sometimes I give him encouragement and I make fun of him when he buys a spin of 200 thousand rupiahs and returns only 12 thousand rupiahs

I got a picture sent from a friend who said there was a slot addict who no longer cared about anything in his life, even his family had left him because of his addiction, luckily he is not a criminal, he doesn't rob to gamble but if you have a friend like him, would you advise him to stop gambling like crazy and return to the family? because there is no way you can stay with him, you have a family to take care of!

this is a good topic [Gambling house responisbilty to protect people data] and it should be mandatory for gambling houses to keep user privacy safe but there is something interesting that I saw in a tweet;


source tweet

The man's reasoning is reasonable, but in my personal opinion this is an irresponsible act, he should as a husband, be honest with his wife or children and even if they turn into lazy, he just needs to educate them hard.

what do you think, is the man's action right or if you experience it (win a big jackpot) will you do as the man did or even be honest with your victory to your family??

11  Economy / Economics / cryptocurrency and the UK's new prime minister on: October 25, 2022, 07:33:32 PM
newly inaugurated by the king of England, Sunak became the new British PM, but the issue of MPs urging Sunak to pass new rules on cryptocurrencies strengthened.



Quote
The House of Commons, the Parliament's lower house, met on Tuesday for a line-by-line reading of the proposed Financial Services and Markets Bill, which broadly covers the U.K.'s post-Brexit economic strategy. The lawmakers considered a list of proposed amendments to the bill, including one put forward by parliamentarian Andrew Griffith to include crypto assets in the scope of regulated financial services in the country.

The draft bill already included measures to extend existing regulations to payments-focused stablecoins, which are cryptocurrencies pegged to the value of other assets like the U.S. dollar or gold.
source----

In the article, British MPs focused on stablecoins as stable and secure cryptocurrencies. reading about it I was reminded of the CBDC issued by the UK (Britcoin) during Sunak's tenure as finance minister during the prime minister's Boris.

>> the fact about CBDC is that almost nothing goes smoothly even the Bahamas which issued the world's first CBDC also doesn't attract much interest.


Do you think this request will be approved by the new British Prime Minister and in the future, cryptocurrencies (not only stablecoins) will become regulated financial instruments in the UK, and will they make it like what South Africa did?

The notice defines a crypto asset as a “digital representation of value” that is not issued by a central bank but can be traded, transferred or stored electronically “for the purpose of payment, investment and other forms of utility.”
https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2022/10/19/south-africa-classifies-crypto-assets-as-financial-products/

their government has done a long study to formalize this regulation!

Quote
"Our view has changed and we now regard it [cryptocurrency] as a financial asset and we hope to regulate it as a financial asset," he said at a PSG Think Big webinar. "There has been a lot of money that has flowed in, and there is a need to regulate it and bring it into the mainstream."
Quote
"Once the ministers amend schedule one of the FIC (Financial Intelligence Centre) act, then we can begin to move. It will probably still take us around 12 to 18 months to get all of our ducks in a row, get everything in place. But I don't think that this has to happen in a big bang. I think we can start to have some KYC rules. We can start to license exchanges," Naidoo said.

from....

because I read this and this topic, I am very curious about what actually influences many people to play gambling and an interesting fact is that people start gambling because of the words (myths) that are often said by their friends or family...

I agree with the research above (but the pros and cons are still there) because it was my first time playing gambling because of an invitation from my friend who said "gambling is a way to make money". now the days have passed and until now I still gamble but with controlled portions.

I'm a little curious, are there any mythical sentences above that make you all start gambling and can't stop gambling or even because the sentence above makes you a gambling addict or even stop gambling?

Gambling is part of Chinese culture. It is seen as the right way to test luck, especially on holidays like Chinese New Year, as well as to get rid of bad luck.
link-

I was quite surprised when I read this article for the first time because they gamble not for money or pleasure but because of the culture to test luck.

this does sound funny but what do you do if it turns out that your culture requires you to play gambling?


slightly diverting from the topic above, I'm interested in Mark Griffiths' research;

Quote
Mark Griffiths, a psychologist at Nottingham Trent University who specializes in addictive behavior says that gamblers have a lot of motivation for their habit.
In a survey of 5,500 gamblers, the prospect of “winning big money” was the strongest factor. But then followed by "because it's fun" and "because it's fun".

"Even when you lose a gamble, your body still produces adrenaline and endorphins," he says.

“People buy entertainment.”

Not much is known about the design of these machines on player behavior, but, for example, many machines and casinos use red or something similar – which is considered more stimulating.

And interestingly, there are examples of cases where gamblers develop “shadow-skills” as a justification for earning those possible rewards.

Griffiths gave the example of a game engine in the UK which was designed with the adaptive logic in mind that the device would deliver more than the consumer was given over a period of time, and after that the device would return to the normal system.

This means that some players will try to find (or “skim”) machines that have not hit the jackpot, hoping they will be there when the machine hits the jackpot.

All of these research findings conclude that gambling is not always about winning, but rather the process of betting – and the other factors surrounding it that make it fun.

Although gambling addiction cannot be explained simply – sometimes there are many reasons that lead to addiction in a person – but it is certainly interesting to see how the fun is related to the structure and style of the game played.

And even when gambling isn't a problematic obsession, it's still entertaining for those who go home with empty pockets.
link-

I am interested in making this topic because the debate between gambling for money or entertainment is still very long, now I add that some people gamble to practice skills and also because it has become their culture (like the Chinese people)


btw, if you have a lot of free time you should read this topic too;
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / This is why BITCOIN will never go to ZERO on: June 24, 2022, 04:06:57 AM

source

As usual, when the market is bearish, China gives a statement attacking bitcoin and they have stated this over and over every year...

Satoshi once said that the lost Bitcoins as well as the Bitcoin holders are strong milestones for keeping the Bitcoin price in check. so as long as someone holds bitcoins, lost bitcoins as well as bitcoin traders the probability of bitcoin price going to zero is 0.1%

china and other countries that don't like bitcoin will always take advantage of the moment (most often when the market is bearish) to spread their FUD to everyone in the world, but they will always fail because Bitcoin is already embedded in the minds of millions of people (CZ said)

I also present a good topic, as supporters Bitcoin will always survive;


17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / IMF & Stablecoins on: July 18, 2019, 07:52:58 AM
based on IMF articles published in May,

https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2019/05/13/sp051419-stablecoins-central-bank-digital-currencies-and-cross-border-payments.

In the article, it is discussed about the possibility of using the Stablecoins.

Is this a green light for Stablecoin such as USDT, USDC & the excited LIBRA??  because we know that the US president expressed his dislike of Stable coin like Libra.

whether an explanation of the functions and advantages of Stablecoin will occur between the US president and the IMF??
