Crypto offers a better way to offer rewards and in this episode we explore how two companies are merging consumer purchases with crypto rewards, Fold and Moso. 

Fold is a Bitcoin company that offers "Sats-back" for every purchase you make. We interviewed CEO Will Reeves about Fold's growth, and found out why his customers lover getting Bitcoin back.

We also spoke with Jake Margulies from Moso, a crypto version of Rakuten, that offers any crypto project the ability to distribute their token as a reward for people who make purchases using their platform.
