2015

“Bitcoin commerce needs to make economic sense for everyone involved in a transaction,” Lee added. “It’s only a matter of time before we see large retailers, such as Expedia or Overstock, exit Bitcoin. They have already cited low usage.”

Purse.io offers 20% direct discounts to Amazon purchases, which have led Purse.io to process around US$500,000 in monthly transactions, and around US$2 million annual transactions from over 45,000 users.
