Since you own bitcoin from reading the “How to buy bitcoin” article and maybe you just earned a few bucks worth of bitcoin via satoshis with the “Earn free bitcoin” article, you’re probably looking for a place to shop. A place that not only accepts bitcoin but saves you money while doing so. Welp, Purse.io is Amazon for bitcoin. A place where you can save up to 20% on anything you find on Amazon, and sometimes more, by even naming your own price.
If you’re already using Amazon for shopping online, good news, you can use Purse.io. Just log-in on Amazon, find the item or items you want, and add them to a wishlist. Once your wishlist is complete, make sure you allow 3rd party address info and check to see “don’t spoil my surprise” is not selected. The final step on Amazon is getting the link to share the wish list with Purse.io.
If you have followed the “How to buy bitcoin” article you should already have a coinbase account. Creating an account on Purse is as easy as “log in with”, that’s it! Just log-in with your Coinbase account and ready to save money on all your Amazon purchases!
Purse doesn’t access your Coinbase wallet. You must transfer funds into your Purse wallet. This keeps you safe as well as frugal. The coin you spend is held in escrow, til terms are met. As you can see your safety is top priority, next to savings.
Ok, now that you’re ready to use bitcoin on Purse.io we should get into just how to do so.
