Denver, CO, Jan. 04, 2018 (InvestorsHub NewsWire) -- SPYR, INC.
(OTC Pink: SPYR), a holding company with a wholly owned subsidiary
in the mobile game & app development and publishing industry,
today announced that it is among the growing list of companies like
Microsoft and Zynga that accept the cryptocurrency Bitcoin as
payment. SPYR accepts Bitcoin for the purchase of in-game
items in the company’s web-based version of its flagship game,
Pocket Starships.
Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency designed to work
as a medium of exchange that uses cryptography to secure its
transactions, and through the secure online payment platform that
is currently integrated into the web-based version of Pocket
Starships, players can make in-game purchases using the
cryptocurrency Bitcoin. This is yet another advantage of the
real-time, cross-platform nature of Pocket Starships, because its
web-based platform can allow players to use
cryptocurrency.
SPYR’s CEO and President, James R. Thompson stated, “We at SPYR
are always trying to provide our players with the content and
options they desire. It has become clear to us that players
want to be able to pay for in-game items using various forms of
payment, and we have ensured our players that they are able to do
that by integrating this ability to use Bitcoin through our payment
platform. Our goal is to continue to grow Pocket Starships
and our other games and adapt to the current environment and the
acceptance of Bitcoin is just the first of many steps in that
direction and we look forward to integrating other cryptocurrencies
soon.”
