Do users behave differently when rewards are real assets?
-

Yes. According to SeQura, ownership significantly changes engagement patterns. Traditional points encourage urgency — “use it before it expires.” Bitcoin rewards shift that mindset toward accumulation and long-term value tracking.
When shoppers receive Bitcoin, they tend to monitor it and hold it rather than immediately spend it. This creates ongoing engagement with the brand, as the reward feels like personal property rather than temporary credit.

Rewards that can appreciate hit different.

Brands giving exposure, not just discounts.

Most will be lost. Giving BTC to people with no knowledge about it not good. I tried giving ETH, LTC and BTC as gift. Just waste if people have no interest.
