ARLINGTON, VA--(Marketwired - Oct 29, 2014) - 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."
