Purse

Purse was a Bitcoin-focused e-commerce marketplace founded in 2014.

It allowed customers to buy goods on Amazon using Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash by connecting shoppers with individuals willing to fulfill Amazon purchases in exchange for cryptocurrency. The platform facilitated peer-to-peer transactions, enabling users to trade Amazon gift cards or account balances for Bitcoin. This service provided Bitcoin holders with the opportunity to shop on Amazon at a discount, with Purse acting as the intermediary and escrow provider. Customers benefited from savings of up to 15% on Amazon purchases and had access to a wide range of products. Purse was known for promoting decentralized commerce and connecting users globally. The company operated from San Francisco before moving to Las Vegas and later transitioned to remote operations. In 2020, Purse announced its shutdown and was subsequently acquired by Loadpipe.
