American Marketing Group (AMG) has announced it’s now allowing all the travel companies it does business with to accept cryptocurrency payments through its booking platform Trip Xpress.
AMG Is Opening Itself Up to Crypto Payments
Ovaj potez je guranje ciljeva Bitcoin i njegove digitalne parnjake bliže ostvarenju. Ono što mnogi ljudi vjerovatno zaboravljaju je da, iako su bitcoin i mnogi njegovi kripto rođaci posljednjih godina preuzeli ili špekulativne ili čak hedžing statuse, mnogi od njih su prvobitno bili dizajnirani da služe kao alati za plaćanje. Napravljeni su da potiskuju čekove, kreditne kartice i fiat valute u stranu, ali ovo je bilo relativno sporo s obzirom na volatilnost koja ih i dalje vuče prema dolje.
Izuzetno je teško razumjeti kada će bitcoin i njegova kripto porodica porasti ili dolje kada su u pitanju njihove cijene. Mnoge prodavnice i kompanije nisu bile voljne da kažu „da“ kada je u pitanju prihvatanje kripto plaćanja iz tog razloga, i donekle, ne možemo ih kriviti.
Razmislite o sljedećem scenariju: neko uđe u trgovinu i kupi robu u vrijednosti od 50 dolara s bitcoinom. Iz ovog ili onog razloga, prodavnica ne menja BTC u fiat odmah i prođe oko 24 sata. Odatle cijena BTC-a pada i tih 50 dolara postaje 40 dolara. Kupac može zadržati sve što je kupio, ali je trgovina na kraju izgubila novac. Je li ovo poštena situacija? Ne misle svi tako.
That’s what makes enterprises like AMG so important. They understand the initial purposes of bitcoin and digital currencies and are trying to transform them into usable tools that everyday people can benefit from.
Among the clients working with AMG that will have the option to accept crypto payments is Travel Savers, headed by COO Jim Mazza. In a recent interview, he commented:
With over $1 trillion in market capital, we felt it was time to make it possible for holders of crypto to book travel directly with our agencies. We have been working for months with some of the top banks and exchanges to facilitate the process.
The crypto payment program is set to be launched in 2023 and will first be open only to those purchasing specific cruise line travel packages. From there, things will be expanded should they prove popular and useful enough amongst present AMG customers.
Proslava 50 godina
Not long ago, the company had its 50th anniversary and celebrated through a travel market expo in the city of Las Vegas. Chief marketing officer Nicole Mazza mentioned in an interview:
There is so much to celebrate with our 50th anniversary, but it goes beyond that. Together with our advisors and partners, we’ve accomplished so much over the years.
