We’re very excited to announce that as of yesterday (December 15) we now accept Bitcoin as payment for listing apartments on the site!
Savings for Advertisers
Currently, landlords and real estate agents pay $2 to post a rental listing and to keep it active on the site. However, for those paying in Bitcoin, a listing will only cost 0.833 milli-bitcoin (1/1000th of a bitcoin). At today’s exchange rates, that means a discount of about 60%.
We feel strongly that Bitcoin’s secure, low-friction payment protocols will benefit both RentHop and the landlords and property managers who use us. We also believe that it’s is a good store of value for the medium- to longer-term. (We intend to hold Bitcoin rather than converting immediately to USD.) We think it’s a win-win for us and for the industry and we’re excited to be at the front of the charge.
Here’s a link to the press release. If you have any questions or want to learn more, drop us a line – we’d love to hear from you! As always, you can reach us at feedback@renthop.com or on twitter at @RentHop. We’re also on Facebook, Pinterest, and Linkedin.
And look out for some pretty exciting news over the next few weeks….
Editor’s Note: We updated this article to enhance readability. RentHop not longer accepts Bitcoin as payment for services on the platform.
