Bitcoin Shop First to Offer "Qlipter" Rotating Clip for Sale to Consumers From Kickstarter-Backed Lulabop Inc.
Bitcoin Shop, Inc. (OTCQB: BTCS) ("Bitcoin Shop" or the "Company"), operator of the digital currency ecommerce marketplace www.btcs.com, which is undertaking the build-out of a universal digital currency ecosystem, announced today that it has signed an agreement with Lulabop Inc. ("Lulabop"), the maker of the "Qlipter" rotating clip hook, to be the first online distributor of the newly introduced product. The agreement also provides Bitcoin Shop exclusivity as the only ecommerce comparison website featuring the product until December 1, 2014 and the only digital currency related ecommerce website to sell the Qlipter through October 9, 2015.
Charlie Kiser, Chief Marketing Officer of Bitcoin Shop commented, "We are excited to be able to offer our consumers the Qlipter. Crowdfunded companies like Lulabop are bringing some of the most innovative product designs to the market. By offering shoppers unique products they cannot find on any other comparisons websites, we hope to drive new users and shoppers to our website. Our belief is that the early adopters of crowdfunded projects will also be early adopters of digital currencies, and ultimately are an appropriate target market for our planned universal digital currency platform."

Mina Yoo, CEO of Lulabop commented, "Bitcoin Shop is expanding the audience we can sell to beyond the scope of our supporters from our Kickstarter project. We hope the Qlipter appeals to the same shoppers that appreciate a website that offers a combination of exclusive and unique products, as well as thoughtful comparison shopping."

We currently operate our legacy ecommerce website (www.bitcoinshop.us) and are operating our public beta site (www.btcs.com) where consumers can purchase products using digital currency such as bitcoin, litecoin and dogecoin, by searching through a selection of over 2 million items. We provide our customers competitive pricing options from over 85 retailers through our "Intelligent Shopping Engine". All ecommerce customer orders are fulfilled by third party vendors.

We have been actively partnering with strategic digital currency companies who have technologies, services or products that are complementary to our business strategy by making investments in them and integrating with them.
Digital currencies use peer-to-peer networks to facilitate instant payments. They are categorized as cryptocurrencies, as they use cryptography as a security measure. Digital currency issuances and transactions are carried out collectively by the network, with no central authority, and allow users to make verified transfers.
