A New Visa That Rewards You With Bitcoin
Happy Finally Friday, Blockfolians
The Lede
In all the discussion of the Fed’s surprise stimulus yesterday, an absolutely excellent announcement was buried. This was Fold’s new bitcoin rewards Visa card. Anyone shopping with the card in the US will get bitcoin rewards automatically.
We have to say, by the way, that as a company that prides itself on design and user experience, this is damn fine. Congrats Fold team and thanks for bringing energy and execution to the crypto market!
