When will Airbnb accept cryptocurrency for payment?

in #leofinance4 years ago (edited)


Airbnb has homes in over 100k cities around the world as of last year. There are over 800 million guests who have stayed at Airbnb locations around the world and it is a company that has grown to have an evaluation worth tens of billions.

With those thousands of cities you can find millions of active Airbnb locations.

Pay Convenience with Airbnb

One of the main reasons that people go with Airbnb is for ease and security of payment, along with other benefits like convenient locations, wanting to live with locals, and more. And guests have long been asking for cryptocurrency to become a part of the Airbnb payment system.

This form of payment option for guests might be coming soon.

According to the CEO of Airbnb the ability to pay with cryptocurrency has been a top request from users.

And that, among other requests, is something that they say they are already looking into. Who knows how much longer until it might take for them to embrace cryptocurrency like we have seen other businesses do around the world already. If guests are already largely reporting that ease of payment is one of the motivating reasons for going with Airbnb over the competition then it would only seem to make sense that eventually crypto would become a part of the equation.

It has been reported that guests wanting to pay with crypto has been a constant request made by customers and when enough people are demanding that change we start to see businesses respond.

I think that is a great step for them on upping their game. Since the majority of people are into crypto markets it will be easier for them to get more revenue on this part. !PIZZA

WOW, business will surely boom when they accept cryptos!!!

When will grocery stores, supermarkets/hipermarkets and/or other markets/stores accept cryptocurrency? That will be the big boom for cryptocurrency. When cryptocurrency will become a regular, every day thing.
