Jamestown – a global real estate investment and management firm – has partnered with leading digital currency payment enterprise Bit Pay to accept rent payments in bitcoin and assorted digital currencies.
Jamestown and Bit Pay Work Together in the Name of Crypto
At the time of writing, the plan extends only to properties based in the United States, though Jamestown is hoping to expand its crypto abilities to properties in Europe as well.
Ovaj potez gura ciljeve bitcoina i njegovih digitalnih kolega 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 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 njihove cijene u pitanju. 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 Jamestown 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.
Michael Phillips – president of Jamestown – explained in a recent interview:
Blockchain technology and the digital assets it enables, like cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), are key components to the evolution of real estate. Allowing cryptocurrency payments is part of our commitment to innovation and larger digital asset strategies to optimize and maximize our physical real estate through technology and virtual integrations.
So Many Assets to Choose From!
Stephen Pair – CEO of Bit Pay – also threw his two cents into the mix, commenting:
In today’s world, customers want to pay for day-to-day items like food and rent in bitcoin or Ethereum and working with Jamestown lets them not only live life on crypto, but live and work in transformed spaces and innovation hubs across major cities.
Bit Pay will allow Jamestown to accept rent payments in assets like Bitcoin, bitcoin cash, Ethereum, wrapped bitcoin, Dogecoin, Litecoin, and various stable currencies.
