Gracias is a new mobile Bitcoin app that's on a mission to make cryptocurrency accessible to a broader range of consumers, including young people and individuals who are traditionally underrepresented in finance. The user-friendly app uses familiar social media features like GIFs, messengers and emojis to drive Bitcoin literacy.
To kick off its pilot program, Gracias is rewarding the first 10,000 users with a small amount of Bitcoin to get them started—with a promo code, new users are eligible to redeem the equivalent of $5 of Bitcoin and have the potential to earn an addition of $2 of Bitcoin for referrals.
While many people favor cryptocurrency for making small payments, tipping and gifting, many people feel confused or intimidated, which is where Gracias has the potential to help.
