Rentacomputer.com Now Accepts Cryptocurrency – Today’s Technology News And Resources
Companies around the globe are having a hard time ignoring the surge of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Many companies, like Rentacomputer.com, are announcing plans to allow payment with these digital assets as their value continues to rise.
Cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, are virtual money secured by cryptography that allows you to buy goods and services or trade.
This article will answer questions like: How do I get cryptocurrency? Where should I keep cryptocurrency? How do I pay for goods and services with crypto? Why get Coinbase Pro?
Making Purchases with Crypto and Coinbase Pro*
How do I get cryptocurrency?
You can buy cryptocurrency with a credit card, bank account, or in some cases through a process called “mining.” Crypto can be stored in a digital wallet online.
Where should I store crypto?
Due to the amount of theft from hackers via cryptocurrency exchange websites, it isn’t recommended to keep a significant amount of crypto tokens in hot wallets or on online exchange sites. In fact, $2.04 Billion has already been stolen in crypto — which amounts to $65 every second.
That’s why we recommend storing your cryptocurrency like bitcoin in cold storage — or offline wallets. That way, your crypto isn’t accessible to hackers via the Internet.
How do I buy/sell with crypto via Coinbase?
On both Coinbase and Coinbase Pro, all you need to do is fund the account, choose buy/sell, and specify the investment amount.
Why get Coinbase Pro?*
Coinbase offers simple consumer and professional trading platforms, Coinbase and Coinbase Pro, respectively. The similarity of their names along with “Pro” typically being synonymous with a subscription fee has caused some confusion. Although Coinbase Consumer was created to be simple and user-friendly, you’ll pay for the interface with significantly higher fees and no access to additional charts and data.
For example, if you buy $500 worth of BTC via Coinbase (Consumer) today via credit card, you’ll be charged a “Coinbase Fee” of $19.18, which is 4.0%.
If you choose to buy the same amount ($500) on Coinbase Pro, you’ll pay a fee of only $2.50, which is 0.5%. With the consumer version you’re paying extra for simplicity — go with Coinbase Pro.
The First Technology Rental Company to Accept Cryptocurrency Payments
Incorporated in 1987 as Rent-A-Computer, Rentacomputer.com has always tried to stay on the cutting edge. In fact, in 1996 Rent-A-Computer was the first major technology rental company to register its domain on the world wide web — which is now more commonly known as the internet. By 1999 Rent-A-Computer officially changed its legal name to Rentacomputer.com after increasing success with marketing and contracting on the world wide web. Today the small company that began serving the greater Miami Valley area has grown to a business that has access to the most extensive rental inventory globally and serves clients from California to Germany — and almost everywhere in between.
Keeping true to their roots, Rentacomputer.com is on the cutting edge of cryptocurrency payments. Once the first technology rental company to register on the internet, Rentacomputer.com is now the first company to accept payment for technology rentals and services via cryptocurrency.
