This passes the grandmother/child test. My grandmother and little cousin both got excited and asked to sign up when I showed them. This is brilliant and exactly what the crypto world needs.

@johnnyfio Thanks, John! I'd like to see a show where you introduce your grandmother and cousin to new products and gauge their reaction. Grandmother/child test is so good.

@johnnyfio This is exactly the accessibility and fun that we're looking to inspire with a broader audience! Go hip Grannie!

As @robedell mentioned, I love that this tool can help introduce bitcoin to another wave of mainstream consumers, but it's unclear to me why it's better to get rewarded in BTC over USD as with other reward and cashback programs.
Matt Senter

@robedell @rrhoover Thanks for the feedback. So many reasons! :) One of our first goals is simply to reduce the barrier to entry to hodling bitcoin for the average consumer. We believe there is a higher long-term value in bitcoin rewards, and everyone should be able to take advantage of that.
Rob Edell
@rrhoover I don’t think it’s necessarily better than fiat cash-back programs, but it enables someone with a stricter risk profile to dabble in a speculative investment that they otherwise would not have felt comfortable putting their money into. So much of investing is psychological, so to me, this is just a simple creative way to get a wider audience to participate in the ecosystem. I also imagine there are some efficiency and security benefits of running a rewards program on the blockchain, but I’ll let @matt_senter and @alexadelman speak to that

@rrhoover simple, easy way for the masses to get introduced to btc, et al
Julian Moncada
@rrhoover BTC > USD as a currency sooooo there's that...

Wow, I'm amazed by the number of major retailers that partnered with them for their launch! Macy's, Walmart, Forever 21, Bonobos, Everlane, Hotels.com, Overstock.com, etc etc etc! Signing up all those companies pre-launch is very impressive. Also love the branding! 🍭

Cool. Automatic-saving apps have exploded in popularity (look at Earny, Purse, etc.) – exciting to see it cross into crypto.

Good way for consumers to on ramp to cryptocurrencies - plans on expanding into other cryptocurrencies?
Alex Adelman
Maker
@nikillinit thanks and great question! Open to expanding to other cryptocurrencies but I am going to leave that up to the community to decide on.

This is a great way to get more people into crytpo in a safe, familiar way to what they currently do. Nice work!

This is amazing. Congratulations @alexadelman! How do you support mobile shoppers?
Alex Adelman
Maker
@kevinnatanzon Hey Kevin, great question. We chose to start on web because shopping on web still accounts for 80-85% of all purchases in the US. We're working on some exciting things for mobile. Stay tuned. :)
Alexander Smekhov
Congratulations with the launch, I suppose such products connect crypto world with real business. It will form a new generation of economy. And cryptocurrency won't be just for speculating.

@bitrewards That's what we're hoping for! :D

@bitrewards thanks, Alexander! I think we see a similar future. :)

Love the focus on simplicity — just curious, what was the key to getting those 500+ retailers onboard? Know you had a bunch of relationships with Cosmic, but still...Bitcoin must have been a scary risk (and they didn’t/don’t exactly know how much traffic they’d get?)
Matt Senter
Maker
@aaron_cohn In short, Alex and Shana Jordan busted their buns. :)
Alex Adelman
Maker
@aaron_cohn @matt_senter 🙏🙏🙏 what matt said. :) That said, it was actually easier than we thought it was going to be. Our goal when we first started was 100 brands. We got 500. Retailers want to get involved in crypto space but you have to make it easy & safe for them. Matt and engineering team built a product that made it easy.
David Walker
Asking me to shop (v good at that) before asking that I grasp the concept of a 34 character alphanumeric 'address' is super smart. Designing for minimal mental investment is what's gonna push crypto past single digit adoption. Impressive.
Matt Senter
Maker
@walkerdavide Love this! Probably my fav comment yet.
Andrew Goble

It should be a great thing to get some of my Bitcoin-hesitant friends started on...they'll get to learn how to spend with Bitcoin and set up a wallet, hopefully without the anxiety of losing money they just invested and then calling me at 2am during their first dip. Looks like a lot of partners I use semi-regularly, which is a nice surprise! Will update as I get more time with the extension.

Pros:

Easy to use, great interface, Bitcoin when I shop (!!)

Cons:

None, yet!

Pir Granoff
I truly believe this company will be the catalyst that pushes BTC transactions into mainstream adoption. Lolli will shift the thinking around BTC from being a "HODL" investment style store of value by a select few into a commercially useful form of currency for the masses. Well done team.
Alex Adelman
Maker
@pirgranoff wow. great review. thanks, pir! :)

Crypto apps lack branding and consumer experience with a handful of exceptions. More apps like this are needed

Pros:

Easy onboarding

Cons:

At the moment getting BTC is still not more useful than USD

Stuart Arsenault
I'll fight @alexadelman on the validity of ETH v Bitcoin ;) But this is sweet, and obviously long term ways to expand further into the crypto space once you own the wallet for millions.
Matt Senter
Maker
@alexadelman @stuartarsenault Just so happens I'm an ETH fan as well. Oh, and I'm charge of building this thing so there's a HIGH likelihood you'll see it in the future. :)
Stuart Arsenault
@alexadelman @matt_senter TAKE THAT, ALEX! But seriously, huge congrats on the official launch guys!
Alex Adelman
Maker
@matt_senter @stuartarsenault 😂 I like a lot of ETH projects but I think it's up for the Lolli community to decide what they want. :)
Kunal Tandon

Alex's focus on building fun and easy to use products, combined with his passion for inviting and educating the next wave of crypto users is exciting.

Pros:

A natural way to get more people exposed to and using crypto. The team has unique insight into building delightful commerce experiences.

Cons:
