San Diego based Airbitz Bitcoin mobile and security edge platform inspired by blockchain has begun 2016 with more expansion announcements today from its home office. The integration of Airbitz into Europe comes with a presence in Zug, Switzerland, dubbed the Silicon Valley of Finance in Europe.
Airbitz services expanded in 2015 with the wallet provider raising $450,000 from blockchain venture firm, Block26 and partnering with companies to add a buy/sell option within the USA, Canada and Fold integration, allowing Airbitz mobile app users to easily buy discounted gift cards from within their wallet. Expansion into the UK has recently been achieved.
The New Year has quickly brought announcement of a European based core developer, Lucas Betschart. The Airbitz office will find Betschart in Zug where he will work as Meetup group coordinator in Switzerland. It has been AirBitz's goal to have a global presence, and the addition of Betschart is the start for Airbitz into assisting more people with features that serve them best depending on location.
Betschart has worked for Monetas and is an experienced Meetup group coordinator in Switzerland. He brings his well-versed expertise of C++, Build/CI Systems, and blockchain technology to the Airbitz team.
“Lucas is an excellent addition to the Airbitz family and has already been instrumental in suggesting improvements to our app that enhance user experience and privacy. I have no doubt with his assistance we can take Airbitz to the next level.” stated Airbitz’s community manager M.K. Lords.
