(AIRBTC)

AirBTC is an online platform for short-term accommodation rentals, uniquely facilitating bookings and payments exclusively in Bitcoin. It differentiates itself by operating without a fiat bank account, aiming to remove middlemen, processing direct host-to-guest Bitcoin payments, and fostering a Bitcoin circular economy. This contrasts with traditional platforms that rely on conventional financial systems and fiat currencies.

On AirBTC, prices are displayed in USD, but payment is made in Bitcoin using the conversion rate at the time of booking. Guests can pay via the Lightning Network or on-chain, and they are responsible for covering their own transaction fees. Regarding volatility, hosts receive the exact amount of Bitcoin paid by the guest, irrespective of any changes in the USD value of Bitcoin between the booking and the actual payout. AirBTC charges a percentage of the transaction from the host.

The AirBTC token has a total issuance of 210 billion tokens and utilizes an energy-efficient mining method. It can be acquired through various means including trading on decentralized exchanges, staking, lending, or participating in educational (learn2Earn) or assistance-based (Assist2Earn) promotions. Airdrops are another way to obtain tokens. Furthermore, users can engage in LP mining by adding liquidity for stablecoins and AirBTC on compatible decentralized exchange platforms.

AirBTC places a strong emphasis on security and privacy. It utilizes advanced encryption technologies to secure Bitcoin transactions on its platform. Personal information is processed in strict adherence to data protection standards. For transactional integrity, the site employs an escrow system. Additionally, to enhance security and verification, hosts have the option to implement Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements for guests booking their accommodations.

A primary challenge for AirBTC lies in encouraging user adoption, particularly within the context of its "Bitcoin only" philosophy. A common discussion point is the difficulty in convincing Bitcoin holders to spend their Bitcoin for services, rather than solely holding or "stacking sats" for future value appreciation. Another hurdle is the relatively limited number of accommodation listings currently available on the platform compared to more established, mainstream booking services, which can affect its appeal to a broader audience.

The AirBTC token can be purchased via a compatible Web3 wallet through a decentralized exchange (DEX), such as PancakeSwap, given that it's typically not listed directly on major centralized exchanges. For secure storage, after acquisition, users can store their AirBTC tokens safely within a compatible Web3 wallet. This ensures custody and control of their digital assets.
