“Make Crypto Useful” — Purse.io Team

Our motto at Purse is to “make crypto useful.” And we mean it! Our goal here is to create an exchange for people who love cryptocurrency, want to use it, and want to see the movement grow. We are passionate about providing that exchange possibility and giving cryptocurrency a functional role in society rather than just an asset to buy and sell.

Who benefits from using Purse?

Maybe you want to use their coins to purchase technology for a discount. Or, maybe you’d rather earn cryptocurrency by liquidating Amazon gift cards for Bitcoin/Bitcoin Cash. Whichever the scenario is, Purse wants to be there to help.

And, without further ‘ado, here are the top 10 reasons you should shop on Purse:

1. Use Your Digital Currency For Essentials

Psst… HODLing doesn’t make necessities show up.
  • We all know that you’ve been holding that spare Bitcoin from a few months back. Put your Bitcoin to good use and buy the items you’ve got to purchase anyway (like food, clothing, electronics). Purse and Amazon are here to help you use your crypto for necessities in everyday life.

2. Earn Cryptocurrencies

  • As an Earner, you can sell your unused Amazon gift cards for Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash.
  • If you think about it, this is a great alternative to mining.

3. Get an Amazon Discount

  • 5% to 33% in savings on Amazon purchases. Want that new laptop and you’re willing to wait for a killer discount?
  • Our average discount is 18% right now.

4. Use Bitcoin Cash

Support your favorite Bitcoin Fork

5. Use All Your Favorite Tokens with the ShapeShift Integration

  • Don’t use Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash? Typically use alternative tokens or currencies?
  • This integration lets you use any cryptocurrencies you like on Purse. Shop with Ethereum, Litecoin, Ethereum Classic, 0x, and more

6. Support the International Digital Currency Community

  • Super low fees, border-less, country-less, meaning that you can exchange with anyone in the world.
  • No forms to fill out, near-instant, and universal.

7. Buy Items in Bulk and Get an Amazon Discount

  • Companies like ShapeShift buy their office supplies with Purse and get 15% off their habitual Amazon orders… making their restock shopping experience a win-win every time.

Grocery Shopping

Discounts at Whole Foods? Thank you, Crypto Gods.
  • Imagine what weekly grocery shopping could look like with gift cards from [insert your favorite grocery store here].
  • Don’t forget that Amazon and Whole Foods work together. Whole Foods doesn’t have to be “Whole Paycheck” anymore. 20% off groceries from Whole Foods can be your new reality.

8. Support Other Countries Who Use Cryptocurrencies to Survive

Cryptocurrency is life saving.

9. Exit the Banks — Go Decentralized!

In control and stress-free
  • Digital currency is not owned by banks or any central authority. Make payments using a currency that is universal and not monitored by anyone else.
  • Be your own bank and make your own financial decisions. No overdraft fees, no unexpected changes to policy, no hidden fees.

10. Become One of the First Users to Catch onto the Future of Financial Technology.

“I do think Bitcoin is the first [encrypted money] that has the potential to do something like change the world.”

- Peter Thiel, Co-Founder of Paypal
