New forms of business,<br> new professions,<br> all of this combined with today's technology have caused a real revolution in the way we relate to employers.\n\nYes,<br> same employers. In plural. The old way of working,<br> based on a formal contract and the formation of a long career in the same company (and in one company) was in the past. Today,<br> there are very few work restrictions: we can make our own hours and salary,<br> become partners in the company where we work,<br> and even be equal in terms of hierarchy.\n\nIn modern times,<br> the employee is no longer paid to perform a certain function. He contributes to other areas,<br> innovates within the company,<br> modifies outdated projects and tools and works in all areas,<br> especially in startups.\n\nThis change has also occurred in terms of mobility. Today,<br> it is possible to live in the interior of Brazil and work for a large company located in cities like New York or London without leaving home. Just have a good internet connection and a computer.\n\nFinally,<br> even the forms of payment have been radically modified in the last 10 years. The emergence of Bitcoin and other criptomoedas allowed for quick,<br> easy and very low payment for both the employer and the employee. Taxes,<br> bank bureaucracies,<br> international procedures,<br> are a series of barriers that have been eliminated with the popularization of Bitcoin.\n\nAlthough the cryptomania is not yet as popular or used as the dollar,<br> more and more companies already know the benefits of using it as a form of wage payment - a move that is gaining momentum in countries such as Japan,<br> where companies already show interest in paying wages with Bitcoin.\n\nThere are a number of advantages to using cryptomidea as a form of payment. Let's check out five of them:\n\n* Receive without intermediaries\n\nThose who receive salaries in Brazil are certainly aware of the enormous amount of discounts that are withdrawn from the worker. INSS,<br> FGTS,<br> IRPF (in some cases) and several other acronyms are responsible for raising the cost of wages by almost double what the person actually receives.\n\nReceiving payment in dollars is no different,<br> since the fees and taxes charged in international transactions also reduce the final value of the payment.\n\nWith Bitcoin,<br> all these costs and intermediaries disappear almost completely. The criptomoeda is free of any tax,<br> discount,<br> and the only fee charged is the transaction in blockchain,<br> whose value is derisory.\n\nLess middlemen = more money in the pocket of the recipient.\n\n* Store your own money\n\nIt does not matter if the work is done in Brazil or abroad: in both cases the figure of a bank becomes necessary as a reliable third party. In addition,<br> the bank will also be responsible for saving our money,<br> since inflation (which destroys the purchasing power of official currencies) requires the investor to place the amounts in some fund to avoid loss of purchasing power.\n\nHow to leave money at home is impractical,<br> we are dependent on an institution that can bankrupt or block our assets at any time - the cases of Brazil in the 1990s and Cyprus in 2015 prove that this risk,<br> although theoretically lower today,<br> Still exist.\n\nWhen we receive our salary at Bitcoin,<br> we mitigate these two risks at once. By having a wallet and our own private keys we eliminate the need to trust someone to save our assets. And as Bitcoin tends to gain long-term value,<br> the need to let it into an investment to maintain the purchasing power of the currency ceases to exist.\n\n* Goodbye exchange!\n\nImagine taking your salary and deciding to buy something outside of Brazil. For this,<br> it is necessary to convert the local currency to the dollar and include in this amount the taxes and transaction fees charged - which can raise the original purchase value a lot.\n\nWell,<br> here is a third advantage of Bitcoin: the absence of taxes and fees on the value of the transaction and the end of the need for complex conversions. Want to buy something in dollar with Bitcoin? Just look what the price of the cryptomeda that the company uses,<br> check the value of the purchase and send. Simple.\n\nUnlike several national currencies,<br> Bitcoin is totally borderless,<br> as we'll see in the next point.\n\n* Work for and from anywhere in the world\n\nI live in northeast Brazil and work for a company located in S\u00e3o Paulo. But it matters little whether she is located in Acre,<br> London or even in Sydney,<br> and payment is made in Bitcoins or another crypto-currency,<br> the borders do not exist.\n\nIt does not matter if the country has strong capital control laws,<br> it confiscates the people's money,<br> charges high taxes or is located on the other side of the globe. What if I need to move? It also does not matter: if your money is stored in Bitcoins,<br> a smartphone,<br> a pen drive or a simple piece of paper is enough to carry millions of dollars in your pocket.\n\n* Agility on receipt\n\nThis can be a controversial point,<br> after all many people complain about the delay in transactions of the Bitcoin network,<br> which can take in average 10 minutes.\n\nBut do you know how long an international transaction can take? Up to 4,<br>320 minutes. That's right: four thousand,<br> three hundred and twenty minutes,<br> the time equivalent to the average three days for an international transfer. Almost 500 times more time consuming than the blockchain.\n\nAnd Bitcoin has a second great agility advantage: the network does not have holidays or weekends,<br> which can extend the term of a normal transaction. If I send $ 10 million in Bitcoin on a Saturday afternoon,<br> the transfer will be made 10 minutes later,<br> with no exceptions.\n\nTherefore,<br> the boundaries of space,<br> locomotion and time are greatly reduced with the adhesion to Bitcoin as a form of receiving salary.\n\n<\/div>",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"cryptocurrency\",<br>\"bitcoin\",<br>\"news\",<br>\"technology\",<br>\"money\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmStVpJzuYwYFWtTNYhU2vh58StjSmAH6Vx5qbzKpyaXAv\/naom_5527d2c444577.jpg\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
