3  Economy / Services / What do Bitcoiners buy on Amazon? on: November 12, 2014, 01:03:54 AM


If you are an early adopter of gadgets, love coffee and like to play games, you’re likely a big Purse user.

There’s been a lot of interest in studying the Bitcoin community. Jeremiah Bohr, a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign conducted an interesting study exploring this topic. Coindesk followed up on the report and summarized, “if you’re in your 30s, love to shop on Silk Road 2.0 and live outside the US, then chances are, you’re a pretty big bitcoin user.”

By studying what Purse users buy on Amazon, we can add to the analysis and learn more about our community. Over the past 6-7 months, 10,000 Bitcoiners used Purse to purchase everything from GoPro’s to Gerber baby formula.
4  Economy / Services / Bitcoin for Amazon Affiliates and Mechanical Turks on: November 05, 2014, 01:25:44 AM
Mechanical Turks MTurks and Amazon Affiliates provide valuable services empowering users globally to earn income by performing virtual surveys or advertising products on blogs and forums.

But both programs share a problem that Purse solves through Bitcoin. Research shows over 50% of MTurks and Affiliates reside outside of countries where Amazon operates, including India, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

While cash out methods for American and European residents are quick and free, in countries like Indonesia, users have two payout options: a USD check in the mail (1-2 months) or Amazon gift card balance (instant).

Bitcoin technology with Purse offers a quicker, cheaper way to sell Amazon gift cards for Indian Rupees (INR), Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), or Filipino Pesos (PHP).

  1. When cashing out on Amazon, select the gift card or credits option.
  2. Sign up for Purse and click “Buy BTC.” After selecting an item in your budget, purchase the items on Amazon.
  3. Once items are delivered to the other party, you will receive bitcoin.

After receiving bitcoin, you can sell them at your local exchange.
