The blog post also highlights that in the past 30 days’ time, the users of Fold have earned close to 100 million satoshis.
What’s also interesting is that the new Fold app will reward users for shopping privately.

The company has successfully raised 2.5M dollars for further development and to make Bitcoin rewarding and accessible for everyone.
The desktop version of Fold’s new app is set to hit the market in October this year, according to reports.
