Fold Reveals AR Bitcoin Rewards Experience
Gamification in cryptocurrencies has been on the rise in recent years. In this press release, the company announced that it would roll out its augmented reality feature along with a free plan for its Bitcoin Rewards debit card. Fold’s augmented reality feature enables users to earn bitcoin and in-app benefits by exploring their physical environment. The popular bitcoin reward startup uses AR to make crypto fun for the masses. “Instead of finding rare creatures in the world around you, as in the hit game Pokemon Go, Fold users can now discover and collect bitcoins around them.”

Will Reeves, CEO of Fold, said, “The Fold AR feature provides consumers with a fun, interactive way to earn Bitcoin rewards for their daily expenses. So many people are interested in participating in the growing Bitcoin economy but aren’t sure how to get started. Fold makes it easy for everyone to get their first piece of Bitcoin, be it through Fold AR via the app or the Fold card. “
Later this month, users will be able to access the AR experience for a limited time each day. The app will be giving away Bitcoin worth around $ 100,000 during the current beta phase. However, according to Reeves, the number would fluctuate over the coming months based on sponsorship and user interaction levels.

We always say that we want to meet our users where they are, whether they are bitcoin maximalists or curious newbies. What better way to do this than literally getting Bitcoin to where they are – and making earning and stacking sats for fun? “
