Fold is a bitcoin rewards app providing a gift card platform used
to help spend bitcoin in the real world. The app offers bitcoin
cashback via its Visa debit card and mobile application. Its
customers can earn bitcoin on everything they do: spending, saving,
and investing. Cardholders can win up to 100% back on every
purchase, or even a whole bitcoin. It was founded in 2014 by Chris
Martin, Corbin Pon, Matt Luongo, Will Reeves. The leading bitcoin
rewards and payments app, Fold, made an announcement yesterday.
Fold Unveils AR Bitcoin Rewards Experience In recent years,
gamification in crypto has been on the rise. In this press release,
the company announced that its augmented reality feature is
launching alongside a free plan for their Bitcoin Rewards Debit
Card. Fold’s augmented reality feature allows users to earn
bitcoin and in-app benefits by exploring their physical
surroundings. The popular bitcoin rewards startup is using AR in a
bid to make crypto fun for the masses. “Instead of finding rare
creatures in the world around you, like in the hit game Pokemon Go,
Fold users will now be able to discover and collect bitcoin around
them.” Related Reading | Sportsbet.io and Arsenal FC Introduce

stated, “The Fold AR feature provides a fun, interactive way for
consumers to earn rewards in bitcoin for their everyday spending.
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 anyone to get their first piece of bitcoin, whether it’s
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
every day. The app will give away approximately $100,000 worth of
bitcoin during the current beta period. But according to Reeves,
the number would fluctuate in future months depending on
sponsorship and user interaction levels. Related Reading

Design, Rachel Mersky, commented: “Pokemon Go was a phenomenon, it
was really the first of its kind to bring augmented reality into
the homes & lives of everyday people, turning the whole
physical world into a game arena. We always say we want to meet our
users where they are, whether they are bitcoin maximalists or
curious newbies. What better way to do that than to literally bring
bitcoin to wherever they are — and make earning and stacking sats
fun?” Bitcoin trails $45,000 with market decline | Source: BTCUSD
