Airbnb Crypto Project - Concept notice

[Ctravel]

The concept project isn't unique if you're receiving payments in Bitcoin. Where's the service? How's Airbnb different from a clone if one's permitting bitcoin payments and one isn't?

What problem are you trying to solve?

Ctravel answers a simple problem. Today if I have crypto-currency and I want to spend this crypto-currency for accommodation I have two solutions available to me:

1 - The service Travala.com allows you to book hotel rooms around the world

2 - Use a crypto.com or binance type of cryptocurrency card (what about decentralization which is the main argument of cryptocurrency)

I just reviewed my proposal and the service is not only the proposal to pay in BTC etc...
I let you discover the different proposals and give me your feedback

# Our proposal

Ctravel was born from a market demand, it answers the need to be able to spend its cryptocurrency in exchange for a rental accommodation but not only!

Ctravel is positioned as the Airbnb of crypto on a Consumer to Consumer segment.

Our goal is to redistribute the cards and offer you more possibilities and freedom than the latter:

- Ctravel generates cashback on each of your reservations → 2% on each reservation ( USDT / BTC / ETH )
- Possibility to do short / medium and long term rental.
- You can pay in Stablecoin / BTC / ETH.

- 10% reservation fee which is less expensive than most of our competitors:

- 6% Service fee which goes to Ctravel to finance the platform.

- 2% cashback in BTC / ETH which goes to the user.

- 2% Dao fund (here this fund will be used to pay dividends to the community that participates in the DAO) which goes to the user if he gets involved in the community

- A premium subscription with advantageous features for the users:

-Such as a certified badge that attests that the user has very good reviews and is a certified host or tenant of quality and trust!

- The possibility to get 8% cashback on each transaction
- To offer discounts to these users such as 10% on the next order

# Airbnb

**Ctravel is positioned as a competitor to Airbnb. The question I'm often asked is if tomorrow Airbnb starts to make payments in crypto?

Ctravel's ambition is to redistribute the cards of the rental from user to user. Here are the strong and weak points of Airbnb:

Airbnb the + :

- Exceptional user interface

- Wide choice of accommodation around the world

- Aircover insurance

Airbnb the - :

- Service fee (15% host / 0% traveler)

- Very negative trustpilot review 1,3/5 (10000 notice)

- Customer service

You should know that Airbnb is a company listed on the stock market from the moment a company enters the stock market are main objective become these investors, these customers come second.

→ Our goal is to meet your needs and provide the best possible service, your interests come first. No investor will have their hands on us, Ctravel team is independent and that's what makes it strong compared to other market players!

I want to take the temperature with customer feedback. Currently the mockups of the application are soon to finish. Then it will be the turn of the desktop models. And once both are ready, we will start the development of the app and the website.

Your initial target market will be people who wants to be off the radar with their rentals. This can be for several reasons, but I can explain one of them. In my country.. local municipalities upgrade your property tax status from "public" to "business" use, when they find out that you are renting your property.

So these people will want to use a less mainstream method to advertise their property and also to "hide" their money paper trail, because they track the money through the Banks. It is unethical and wrong to do this, but some people want to fund expansion of the property in the beginning and the higher tax kill their profits.

I understand the interest, but I do not want to create a platform that puts the people who use it in an illegal situation. The interest is to use this cryptocurrency to rent housing. After if the user during the declaration to the taxes lies it will be entirely of that fault ...

If your teams hasn't money at your disposal will you hunt for investors?

Yes I live in Paris and I intend to find business angels to finance the project

My coming here is simply to get feedback on this idea, I think there is a market and I want to meet a market need. I'm clearly not here to hurt Blockchain / Crypto projects on the contrary! I sincerely believe that this is the payment of tomorrow.

The payment of tomorrow yes, Bitcoin is a good candidate for it, the thing is that you really need to differentiate between a currency or a payment gateway and a service. Visa is successful, a platform accepting Visa won't be by default successful if users don't feel like it offers anything.
Your platform must be viable even if we exclude Bitcoin's strong points (decentralization, pseudo-anonymity etc, )  and think of it as just a method of payment, like a credit card.

- 10% reservation fee which is less expensive than most of our competitors:
- 6% Service fee which goes to Ctravel to finance the platform.
- 2% cashback in BTC / ETH which goes to the user.

That would put you at 14%  and you're losing all the attractiveness of a cheaper platform against AirBNB.

Airbnb the - :
- Very negative trustpilot review 1,3/5 (10000 notice)

Trust pilot reviews are hardly an indicator, just a  few more examples:
Samsung 1.3, Apple 1.8,  Mercedes Benz 1.8 , Ikea 1.5
90% of users of Trust Pilot complain about something that was a bad experience, and they won't leave one positive review even if they had a positive experience.
I do the same, all my reviews on Amazon, for example, are for stuff that was bad, not a single 5* for the ones that did what they were supposed to do.

Our goal is to meet your needs and provide the best possible service, your interests come first. No investor will have their hands on us, Ctravel team is independent and that's what makes it strong compared to other market players!

Yeah, nice in theory, but unfortunately the harsh reality is that every service that is an intermediary will have to choose between an aide which they will favor, because no one has ever managed to find the perfect balance between, in your case property owners and customers. And it's the same, you either screw both or you chose a side, this is what booking is doing, this is what PayPal does and so is Uber.
Don't mean to discourage you with this one but this is how real life works,... or sucks!

Unfortunately, most technologies was developed for legal uses and the people using it then exploited this platform for illegal use. Take the Internet for example..... the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) initiated a research program to investigate techniques and technologies for interlinking packet networks of various kinds. So the military wanted to communicate over different technologies.... and that paved the way for the Internet. (Criminals quickly saw the potential of this technology and today it is used for both legal and illegal activities) 

You will have to accept that your project might also be exploited for illegal activities and that you have to distance your goal from the activities of these criminals.    (Put a disclaimer in your ToS)

You won't find angels for finance because it isn't a bankable project it won't get past the theory stage. If you supplied demos for feedback I'd be surprised.

As a fellow crypto enthusiast, this could be a game-changer for the travel industry. As for your question, I would spend my cryptocurrency traveling if given the option. It's exciting to see more use cases for cryptocurrencies beyond just trading and investing. Also, I stumbled upon this article about investing in the Dallas real estate market on Dallas Metro News: https://dallasmetro.news/dallas-airbnb-short-term-and-long-term-rentals-is-it-worth-it-to-invest-in-the-dallas-real-estate-market-2321.html. It might be worth checking out if you're interested in incorporating Dallas into your market. Best of luck with your project, I can't wait to see it come to life!

The forum's full of cryptocurrency threads. Why create the account to make a post for the best of luck expression when it's questionable?
