BitWall has been acquired!https://techcrunch.com/2018/06/13/watch-out-acquires-bitwall/BitWall was one of the first venture-backed Bitcoin startups. BitWall helped pioneer Bitcoin micropayments by making it easy for publishers to accept Bitcoin and other alternate payments. BitWall also was one of the pioneers of social currency, allowing people to pay for content through a Tweet and the subsequent traffic each Tweet sends to a publisher.By consistently introducing innovative monetization, loyalty, and reward models, BitWall grew a great network of customers and was ultimately acquired by one of the customers it worked most closely with.Press:Digiday: http://digiday.com/publishers/bitcoin-newspapers/PandoDaily: http://pando.com/2014/01/14/bitwall-gets-its-big-break-with-the-chicago-sun-times-not-too-shabby/PandoDaily: http://pandodaily.com/2013/11/18/pay-by-tweet-how-new-startup-bitwall-is-using-bitcoins-and-social-currency-to-monetize-the-web/Fast Company: http://www.fastcompany.com/3021745/fast-feed/the-dish-daily-installs-bitwall-a-paywall-that-accepts-tweets-bitcoinsPaymentsSource: http://www.paymentssource.com/news/daily-dish-launches-bitwalls-social-paywall-for-online-content-3016049-1.htmlPYMNTS.com: http://www.pymnts.com/briefing-room/issuers/virtual-currency/2013/BitWall-s-Tall-Task-Of-Returning-Value-To-Publishing/TechCrunch: http://techcrunch.com/2013/09/21/bitwall-launch/PaymentsSource: http://www.paymentssource.com/news/bitwall-aims-to-tear-down-a-pricing-barrier-in-micropayments-3015008-1.htmlThe Dish Daily: http://thedishdaily.com/news/2013/09/24/san-mateos-boost-demo-day
