Keeping pace with digital trends - Marvie Hotel & Health in Split introduces cryptocurrency payment option

The number of cryptocurrency users around the world is increasing day by day, and the word is no longer unknown as it used to be a few years ago. However, if you are still unfamiliar with cryptocurrencies, they are easiest described as digital money, created digitally as a means of digital exchange, and exist exclusively on the Internet. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can thus be defined as digital versions of money, but as they are not controlled by the central bank, they do not formally have the status of money.
Since its very beginnings in 2009 the use of cryptocurrencies has experienced massive growth, and nowadays this payment method generates over 6 billion dollars of traffic on a daily basis, while the number of users has surpassed 40 million. Among over 5100 types of cryptocurrencies Bitcoin is still the most popular, followed by Ethereum, Stellar and Ripple.
It is evident that cryptocurrencies are about to change the world of finance and our payment habits, as large financial and card companies – such as Paypal, Mastercard and Visa – have stepped into the world of crypto, collaborating with fintech companies to enable these kinds of transactions. Some of the biggest companies in the world have already embraced the possibility of this payment method, such as Coca-Cola – by launching a vending machine that accepts cryptocurrencies – or Norwegian Air. Electric cars can also be purchased with Bitcoin, and a list of ten car companies that accept cryptocurrencies can be found here.
