Startup Inventors Launch Kickstarter Campaign to Introduce BitPiggy, First in Series of Fun, Novelty Consumer Devices for Bitcoin
Los Angeles, California company Startup Inventors gears up for a pre-sale on Kickstarter for what they've affectionately labeled as the piggy bank for the 21st century.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ever been one of the 900,000 people in any given month who've searched the term "What is Bitcoin?" on Google? It's likely. Determined to demystify Bitcoin, a technology company called Startup Inventors is set to pre-sell a boxed Bitcoin solution so easy your grandma could use it. Its goal is simple; give consumers an approachable way to cash in on the digital currency. Today, the company introduces the BitPiggy, a piggy bank for your Bitcoin and "the" piggy bank for the 21st Century. Forget stashing away pennies, this electronic bank allows you to store and save the burgeoning virtual currency, Bitcoin.
Bringing Bitcoin to the masses via Kickstarter for the holidays, the forward-thinking company will use crowdfunding support to complete their manufacturing run. Startup Inventors wants to make industry history by producing the market's first series of fun, novelty consumer devices for Bitcoin. They deem it "Bitcoin for everyone, not just techie's." For newbies, getting started with Bitcoin can be a bit cumbersome, partly because it's a multi-step process that requires some specialized knowledge. First, you have to set up a wallet. A wallet is the means to store the coins. Then, you have to acquire the coins and sift through the number of ways that coins can be acquired: from an exchange, a faucet site, or an in-person trade. The lack of continuity with Bitcoin services owes to some of the complexity in its process for beginners. With BitPiggy, you purchase and you're done! BitPiggy comes equipped with a re-loadable Bitcoin coin already pre-loaded with Bitcoin. And, BitPiggy is not just a Bitcoin-based savings bank, but a hardware wallet as well, so consumers can save, receive and send the digital currency right from the device. The 'pseudo-anonymous pig' also comes with its own alarm. A squealing "oink" will sound and send a MMS message to the owner if anyone approaches their high-tech coins and breaches the bank's security.
BitPiggy has features like the ability to set savings goals for Bitcoin funds. It also has an inbuilt docking station that allows users to re-load Bitcoin right from their bank. Advanced users can still enjoy the anonymity of Bitcoin with BitPiggy's Wi-Fi and Ethernet ports.
L. Nicole Moore, Founder of Startup Inventors said of the launch, "We think there's a future for Bitcoin consumer devices as big as the future of Bitcoin itself. Look at the 3D print revolution. 3D printers were mostly commercial devices and now we're seeing consumer 3D printers in stores like Staples. We think Bitcoin will have the same shift. One day you'll see Bitcoin products at big box retailers."
