Airbnb is a company that offers a software platform dedicated to providing private and tourist accommodation through which hosts can advertise and outsource the rental of their properties to their guests.
Guests and guests can review themselves as a reference for future users.
Airbnb offers approximately 2,000,000 properties in 192 countries and 33,000 cities.
Last year, Jeffrey Wernick, one of Airbnb’s investors, said that “everyone should invest a percentage of their capital in cryptocurrency”.
He also described this type of investment as the only viable way for the middle class to “accumulate wealth”.
The fact that Airbnb is starting to accept payments in cryptocurrency is a big news because Airbnb is a major player on the internet and especially with the general public.
Mass adoption means accepting payment in cryptocurrency by big companies like Airbnb, Amazon, Starbucks, MacDonalds, Burger King, Facebook, etc…
