Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky RevealsĀ ā€˜Crypto Paymentsā€™Ā TopĀ Request onĀ Usersā€™Ā Wishlist

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky revealed that "crypto payments" was the topmost suggestion, out of 4,000, in response to his tweet, asking, "If Airbnb could launch anything in 2022, what would it be?"

Listing out the top six suggestions, including "clear pricing displays" and "better customer service," Chesky said, "Already working on most, will look into others now!"

Although there is no official word about it, the renowned accommodation-booking platform might start accepting cryptocurrencies as payment, given the responses on Twitter.

Chesky noted that the suggestion on crypto payments includes a ā€œvariety of token ideas.ā€

Before the Airbnb CEO revealed the suggestions, a Twitter user pointed out that crypto can be useful for payments in countries that do not facilitate international payments.

To this, Chesky said, "We are looking into this."

Chesky also revealed the company has witnessed a payment volume worth USD 336 billion since 2013.

People booking accommodations on Airbnb can currently pay via Visa, MasterCard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal.

In an interaction with Fox BusinessĀ in September 2021, the Airbnb CEO had spoken about how crypto payments have been a major request for quite some time. Interestingly, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong was a product technical manager for Airbnb, which went public in December 2020.

The Future of Crypto

Acceptance in cryptocurrencies is apparently booming in some parts of the world. However, El Salvador is the only country to have made Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, a legal tender.

AMC Theatres, one of the biggest businesses in the US, accepts payments in several types of crypto, including Ethereum and Litecoin, and is planning to add Shiba Inu to the list.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, too, has previously spoken about accepting crypto as payments.

However, not all governments seem interested. China is one of the biggest opponents of cryptocurrencies. On the other hand, India, which is mulling over the future of crypto in the country, witnessed the launch of its first-ever crypto index by the global cryptocurrency super app, Cryptowire.

You can now rent Villa Balbiano featured in ā€˜House of Gucciā€™ on Airbnb

Villa Balbiano, one of the highlights of the recently released film House of Gucci, is available to rent on Airbnb, an American rental company that offers lodging and homestays rentals to travellers.

Located on the picturesque Lake Como in Italy, the 16th century Villa Balbiano served as the home of Aldo Gucci ā€” the eldest son of founder Guccio Gucci, who played a key role in making the fashion house internationally renowned.

Hereā€™s what we know about Villa Balbiano and how you can book it

The villa

Villa Balbiano was built by Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio and was later occupied by Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini.

The building, which is located on the western shore of the lake, has six suites and marbled bathrooms. Each suite has a stunningly glamourous individual personality designed by interior decorator Jacques Garcia.

Its walls are adorned with 17th-century frescoes painted by the Recchi brothers and Agostino Silva. The villa has a boathouse, a private pier besides a swimming pool. The house also has artworks and furniture that were obtained from Sothebyā€™s and Christieā€™s auctions.

The villa looks like a gem along the lake surrounded by lush green mountains of northern Italy.

When can it be booked?

Only a fortunate few can book this luxurious Italian residence.

Villa Balbiano can be booked for a one-night stay ā€” on 30 March, 2022 ā€” only. To do so, those eager will have to wait till 6 December when bookings open at 12 pm ET.

The film

House of Gucci, one of the most anticipated films of 2021, is about a dark chapter in the otherwise illustrious history of the family.

The film is based on the book The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour and GreedĀ by journalist Sara Gay Forden.

It revolves around the murder of Maurizio Gucci, former head of the fashion house, on the orders of his wife, Patrizia Reggiani.

Adam Driver plays Maurizio and singer-songwriter-actress Lady Gaga portrays Patrizia in the film. Others in the cast include Jared Leto as Paolo Gucci, Jeremy Irons as Rodolfo Gucci and Al Pacino as Aldo Gucci.

Book here on Airbnb.
