TORONTO, Apr. 12 (Korea Bizwire) — Peeks Social Ltd. (TSXV:PEEK) (OTCQB:PKSLF) (“Peeks Social” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Peeks Social wallet is now accepting Bitcoin transactions. The ability to instantly interact and transact using Bitcoins represents an important shift by the Company towards the future of online currency transactions.
Users of Peeks Social are now able to fund their wallets with Bitcoin for use within the Peeks Social platform, allowing them to use their Bitcoin to purchase paid content, tip broadcasters, and contribute to crowdfunding campaigns, amongst other uses. Broadcasters are able to receive rewards they earn in a number of ways including directly to their prepaid Peeks Social Prepaid Cards. Users loading Bitcoins into their wallets are able to subsequently transfer the unused cash balance of their Peeks Social tokens to their prepaid Peeks Social Prepaid Cards instantly to spend at online and bricks and mortar retailers around the world.
