Why are they so popular, and what are their benefits? First of all, let's look at the differences between crypto and cash.</p><p> </p><h4>Value and volatility</h4><p> </p><p>A dollar remains worth a dollar, despite how much money has passed, while the market value of cryptocurrencies may change every day or even every minute. This, however, does not apply to the so-called <strong>stablecoin</strong>, like USDT, USDC, DAI, which have values tied to that of another currency (in this case, to the US dollar).</p><p> </p><h4>Control</h4><p> </p><p>Cash is centralised, which means it is maintained by the government and controlled by a person or entity. For instance, digital cash transactions are fulfilled via a third party. <strong>Cryptocurrencies are decentralised</strong> and don't use third parties. All you need to make a direct transaction to another person is an internet connection and a crypto wallet.</p><p> </p><h4>Safety and security</h4><p> </p><p>Cash stored in a bank or another financial institution is safe, but <strong>printed cash can be counterfeited</strong>. Cryptocurrencies can be stored either in self-custody or third-party custody. However, as there are many cryptocurrencies, some networks are easier to hack or scam than others.</p><p> </p><h4>Protection</h4><p> </p><p>Deposits in every cash currency are insured by some government agency, but as for cryptocurrencies, there are no such organisations, so there is <strong>no recovery or protection option</strong>.</p><p> </p><h4>Regulations</h4><p> </p><p>All currencies have many established regulations, like a serial number or a water mark. <strong>Regulations for cryptocurrencies</strong> differ based on a user's location and are prone to constant changes, so there is some uncertainty about using them.</p><p> </p><h4>Supply</h4><p> </p><p>Cash supply is controlled by governments, and supplies of cryptocurrencies may vary. For example, Bitcoin is limited, and Ethereum has an indefinite supply.</p><p> </p><h4>Accessibility</h4><p> </p><p>As for cash, there are some restrictions due to the bank's working days and hours, plus withdrawal limits. Cryptocurrencies are only digital; instead, they are <strong>available 24/7</strong>, no matter which holiday it is.</p><p> </p><h4>Acceptance</h4><p> </p><p>The <strong>cash system</strong>, including coins and notes, has existed for around <strong>300 years</strong>. Cryptocurrency, though, is relatively new, with <strong>the first one launched in 2009</strong>. For now, the crypto market is still unpredictable and volatile.</p><p> </p><p>All in all, having compared <strong>cash</strong> to <strong>crypto</strong>, it is easy to see that they are not substitutes and <strong>have completely different properties</strong>.</p><p>Next, let's review the potential benefits of the <strong>blockchain technology</strong> used in cryptocurrencies.</p><p> </p><h4>Security</h4><p> </p><p>It is <strong>nearly impossible to hack a public blockchain</strong>, but the level of security varies from one blockchain to another, which causes some uncertainty.</p><p> </p><h4>Transparency</h4><p> </p><p>A public blockchain is similar to an open book because anyone connected to the internet can see all the data within. Each data point comprises a time stamp and the sender's and receiver's public keys, so <strong>one can trace all transaction information</strong>.</p><p> </p><h4>Speed</h4><p> </p><p>Sometimes, bank transactions take <strong>3-5 business days</strong>, while some blockchain networks allow sending money across the globe in only <strong>10 minutes</strong>. Some platforms, such as Tron, provide even faster speed, up to <strong>2-3 seconds</strong>.</p><p> </p><h4>No fees</h4><p> </p><p>By paying with digital currencies, you <strong>avoid international exchange fees</strong>, <strong>rates</strong>, and <strong>card charges</strong>. Crypto can be used anywhere as long as the merchant accepts it.</p><p> </p><p>So now, let's find out which <strong>travel sites</strong> accept cryptocurrency payments.</p><p> </p><table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><colgroup><col width="63*"> <col width="104*"> <col width="89*"> </colgroup><tbody><tr valign="top"><td width="25%"><p align="left">Name</p></td><td width="41%"><p align="left">Description</p></td><td width="35%"><p align="left">Cryptocurrencies</p></td></tr><tr valign="top"><td width="25%"><p align="left">Locktrip.com</p></td><td width="41%"><p align="left">Here, you can book more than 2.1 million hotels and apartments across more than 190 countries with crypto.
