Allow clients to receive their tax refund in crypto with CoinRT
As technology increases in functionality and practicality, so evolves the way financial transactions take place. In recent years crypto currency has been gaining traction as a popular virtual-currency that is encrypted, secure, and normally untraceable.
However, cryptocurrency is gaining mainstream traction, and is starting to become an acceptable form of currency in more and more industries. Cryptocurrency as one of your refund options might seem a little bizarre, but remaining competitive means staying up to date with consumer trends.
In the era of information, more and more power has been transferred from the companies to consumers. Consumers, sometimes unwittingly, are able to control and influence the marketplace in a significant capacity. With more and more consumers migrating to cryptocurrencies, the market has no other option but to follow suit and normalize the use of cryptocurrency in everyday transactions.
Benefits of Cryptocurrency
Consumers wouldn’t be migrating to cryptocurrency without some sort of perceived benefit to implementing the new currency and spending the time and effort on transitioning to crypto. With that, there are three main perceived benefits to cryptocurrency.
The first is the security that it promises. Cryptocurrency, unlike credit card and debit card transactions, can be encrypted, and tracking the transactions can be much more difficult. This added layer of security is enough to convince some people to transition to the new currency by itself.
However, there are two other significant benefits that people using crypto will speak about. Beyond security is the universal aspect of the currency. These currencies are theoretically accepted world-wide, unbound by borders, region-specific currencies, or other limiting factors. This allows users of crypto to spend on a global scale without involving conversion rates.
Finally, cryptocurrency can be viewed as a financial investment. Because cryptocurrency is essentially brand new, there is a lot of potential for investors to see the value of the currency grow significantly. Investing in crypto as an investment strategy can be both rewarding, and very risky.
Tied to international economies and a blend of currencies that rise and fall in value regularly, cryptocurrency is seen as a semi-volatile market. Early investors can come into a financial windfall, or could see their investments plummet - depending on the type of crypto they invest in.
Crypto as a Tax Refund
Naturally, since cryptocurrency is becoming so much more popular, there are more and more market opportunities for companies and consumers to utilize the virtual coin.
