Bitcoin Forum

Just curious how many users use one of these..

I've started using Xapo and its pretty good actually.
I can buy whatever I want with BTC.

They have some fees,I tried finding some companies with lower fees but no luck.

They card costs 18$,I guess it was..Actually all companies want like 15$-20$ for a debit card.
Which is a good investment..I guess..

Which one do u use and what are their fees? :)

AdvCash. Only $4.99 and never had a problem.

Fees with these bitcoin debit cards may remain always high and also exchange rate of bitcoin to USD to load card is lower than the market rate. I am using cryptopay plastic cards and i had no problem using them even with paypal but fee they have is also high.

I use Xapo, I have used it for something like a month or two now, and I have to say it is a pretty good investment in my opinion and I haven't had any issues using it with any of my purchases. The only thing I don't like about it are the spending limits without identification verification, but that does make sense for a fair number of reasons, and I do respect their need for the verification.

No I do not have any bitcoin Debit card as there is no any ATM for bitcoin in my country, I hope it will reach sooner to our country as the users of bitcoin are increasing faster in my country and the government is also in its favor.

Until now never use debitcard from bitcoin. but i am waiting for debitcard here in my country becaue our wallet from our country are makin new payment or withdrawal process or added a debit card in their site..

I havent  usen a bitcoin debit card  till now . Why i have to use bitcoin debit card and what is advantage to use bitcoin debit card ? , someone to use debit card can explain it?

If I'm not mistaken, these are not true Bitcoin payment cards. These cards are like regular Mastercards or Visas with the only difference being that your account which they are linked to is a Bitcoin account (otherwise known as online wallet)...

The benefit is that you don't have to convert your bitcoins to fiat manually

i have never used one unfortunately though im pretty sure that im gonna get one soon as it is really easy to use

Oh! will that debit cards from bitcoin wallet work on our normal ATM machines?
If that is right then I will order one as soon as possible as I also have not ordered it because of the idea that it will not work on normal ATMs,

i see no reason to use it, i have my wallet i can use my bitcoin directly why i need to use a debit card with bitcoin, i can just mine with fiat, bitcoin imho is meant to be used as a currency

Well if you only need to use it for online purpose then you better order a virtual bitcoin debit card.

It costs less and sometimes free (Wirex offers free virtual cards) but the fees should be the same.

I have used the virtual one online but haven't ordered any plastic one because I don't need it currently.

They should, but you'd better ask those who are actually using them. If you feel interested, you can read more about one such card here (https://coinsbank.com/cards) (in fact, a whole bunch of such cards). Some relevant info below:

I don't use it. I think Bitcoin was created with the purpose that people can ditch that bloated market of 3rd parties services anyway.
So supporting something like satellite card payment is actually harming direct bitcoin adoption IMO.

I currently do not use a Bitcoin debit card, however I have been looking into getting one for the past little while and I am often considering getting one more and more as time passes. I'm not sure if they would actually do anything more for me aside from spending $50, and I'm not sure how I would be able to have enough money to actually use my Bitcoin in the real world for most purchases aside from maybe some of the smaller transactions. Having a $12 annual account fee coming from Xapo isn't bad either, but I'll have to see.

i don't use debit card of bitcoin because bitcoin is not completely approved by government so bitcoin debit card will not be used in out country , but i heard on this bitcoin forum that some countries use bitcoin debt card and few sites allows that , probably you can do some search on that which will help you on the same.

Really?  I never see and never heard that there is a bitcoin debit card.  I do not know if there or if it is available here in our country.  If ever there is a chance I would gladly to have one.  I think having something unknown to some people will make me look outstanding to my friends and family.  I think I should suggest it to our local coin wallet here in our country.  Thanks for sharing that to us.

No i don't use Bitcoin debit card. but i'll if needed.
thank you

There is bitcoin debit card but its not available here in my country. But there is bitcoin ATM which you can withdraw bitcoin with physical money and also buy bitcoin options. Its very useful but bitcoin is not that popular here in my country and few establishments are accepting this as a payment.

Hey bro it's easy and you apply for the bitcoin debit card through online in sites like spectrocoin.com,  bitzap, bitco and many more sites are there to get that card and then it will reduce the forex charges and exchange charges. You need pay some btc as monthly maintenance charges.

bitcoin debit card will help you a lot when you're going to make a withdrawal of your bitcoin through your local atm,because sometimes you can't get in touch with the exchangers,and also you can use it for buying things in a popular site like amazon or ebay that's now they're not accepting bitcoin directly unfortunately

i don't use bitcoin debit card, because i don't know where i can use it in my city and i think there are any fees applied for that debit card. but if in my city is available, i want to try it.

No I don't have any bitcoin debit card as I do not have much bitcoins, when I will have some more amount of bitcoin then I will request one.

Here in Philippines we already have Bitcoin Panda which it is already a first ever bitcoin atm machine where we can easily exchange our bitcoin into real cash but , i didn't try it yet because for me it is not safe , because for me it was for beta test and if i am going to use bitcoin debit card hoping that in year 2017 that some supermarket are going to accept bitcoin as a payment :)

nope, i dont interested to use bitcoin debit card and i prefer to sell my bitcoins at exchanger when need a money. i dont like bitcoin debit card because they has charge high fee.

I don't using bitcoin debit card, because all of them take fees for about 3% if we can make withdrawal on ATM. And at my regional there are not bitcoin's ATM. But sometime if my income from bitcoin is going up will use bitcoin debit card.

i don't use bitcoin debit card too, while i have wallet in my apps, so i think i am not yet needed bitcoin debit card. i am thinking about the fees that i think is really expensive to spend when i want to send bitcoin, and this is just from what i heard on some website. beside that, only few places that will receive bitcoin debit card and is not makes me comfortable to use it.

It's a very good plan, it is better we use wallet to do every thing we want than use the bitcoin debit card where it has similarities with debit cards or credit cards in General. This is going to ruin our lives if it can't do so well and wisely (bitcoin debit card). Don't ever be tempted with ease if it gives no advantage to you

Just like most of the replies, I also haven't tried to use any bitcoin debit card yet. Well as of now I don't really think that I need it because I used to withdraw my bitcoin through my local wallet and spend it in cash already. Who knows? If bitcoin will also be accepted on local stores, maybe several bitcoin users will try it.

I'm also using Xapo, almost a year now and I'm very satsified. I can use my Bitcoin everywhere, in any store online or "real" one. Never had any bad experience. I think fees are decent and the customer support is good so I would recommend this card.

I think that there are not many people are using a debit card with bitcoins just because they only like to use cards with real money on it. I think that bitcoin cards wont rule the world just because there are to less real coins to have.

I've never tried using bitcoin debit card because for me im contented on my bitcoin wallet where i can easily exchange my bitcoin into real money that fast because in our bitcoin wallet we use are partnered with some banks where the depositors or buyer can easily deposit our money if we sell our bitcoin to them.

I dont have many bitcoins, soo its useless to get a debit card to spend 10 dollars into the market, soo i do believe if i get lets say 4 btc to spend i would get a debit card to go shopping, if the fees arent higger then the person which i do exchange my bitcoins usually.

I've purchased about 6 virtual debit cards from Spectrocoin for verification purposes. Had no problems, and recently i've been purchasing small things like heatsinks and screwdrivers for my PC, no hiccups.

I only used before bitcoin prepaid cards because they are more cheaper than debt cards specially the virtual ones.
I tried both ecoin and spectrocoin and there is no much difference between them in fees or loading prices

I'll get one as soon as I'll get a regular income in BTC. It would not make much sense right now. Considering that I've bought BTC with fiat currency, I don't see the point of a card which would reverse that change by spending my BTC and exchanging it to fiat in a shop.

It's a great tool for miners, though.

i dont use it to be honest because there is no need to as i dont spend my bitcoins

That a good news! But what country does that have that debit or credit card. In the Philippines, there are no debit or credit card for bitcoin but hope we can also have that kind of system so we can have a faster access to bitcoin. Moreover, that is one big step for bitcoin and hope other cryptocurrencies will also adopt that kind of system so we can all benefit.

Yes, there are many countries where the private debit/credit card facility is not still available. India is also a such a country.
I use xapo and am very happy with how it functions. I can have a good amount of cash stored on it and I haven’t had it fail on me ever. Good company to sign up with for sure!

I have a bitcoin debit card but I'm not sure if I should use it or not because there is not my name but a random nickname so if I use it in ATM and if the card sucks there I should call the security or someone else to assist me to get back the card and if the name in the card is not the same as on my ID they would doubt on me.

i never use it too to be honest, i would do that though i think the fees for them are way too big and it kinda reminds me banking

Yeah same here.  Never did I see one bitcoin debit card but I would be happy if I saw one in my life.  There would be a fee just like any other debit cards especially if it is not the issuer bank.  We will incur fee if we used other bitcoin debit card.  But to have one debit card it would make us some feeling of bitcoin power. 

You wouldn't believe but I've actually not even heard of these, thanks for the information lol.
Time to look it up and stuff, it sounds very handy if you can pay anywhere with it i wonder which conversion rate they pick.

I havent tried this debit card for bitcoin. I got one question though. You paid $18 right? Is that payment carried out to your account or a card really cost like that and you start with zero? I mean like ATM's you pay $10 to open an account but that $10 dollar can be withdrew.

Yes I do and I love it. Makes life more simple instead of converting the whole time between currencies i just pull out my card. I would recommend one to anybody using btc.

i never use a bitcoin debit card to be honest and i dont think that i will use it at any point in the future because it would add big fees i think

No, we can not use bitcoin debit card in present because there is no facility to use bitcoin debit card but i am sure we will be soon get this facility in the future and it will be more good for bitcoin users that use bitcoin debit card in everywhere.

What are you smoking? There are multiple bitcoin debit cards which are operational.
Try Xapo. Or better still, just do a google search.

I don't use bitcoin debit card for right now, but i have made account on uquid (bitcoin debit card services). I will try it, i heard their rate, ( bitcoin's price ) using bitpay.com as live. It will give us bitcoin's price more good than another bitcoin debit card service.

i think in present time there is no facility to use Bitcoin debit card in my country and there is a lot of people want to use bitcoin debit card and i am sure we will be soon able to use bitcoin debit card in my country.

Yes, i have do debit card,  i make this from site wallet bitcoin is xapo.com just for paying 20$~ you will got some a debit card and you have to using this to all you activity for this :D . Debit card from xapo.com very useful for me :D

Me too i've never seen a bitcoin debit card and only now i heard that. I dont even know that it exist but yeah im reading it now so it is true then if i do have one then it would be nice :) we could use it incase we really need it but i think if you want to get debit card it has a lot of process to do.

I never tried using bitcoin debit card is this worth using for ? because here in my country we have bitcoin atm machines already where we can easily exchange our bitcoin into cash that fast but im not going to use it because sometimes some atm machines are planted of some skimped materials that copy the user and pass or information of the account.

Been using uQuid for a while now and like the proces very much, The fact that you can get your BTC processed to USD and use it as fast as using a DC is great. The fees are not that favorable overall though and probably you could sell BTC at a better price and get some % if you do it on Localbitcoins or the like.

I am not sure what I use a bitcoin debit card or not. I just convert my bitcoins in fiat directly in my digital fiat wallet named Freecharge and every freecharge user get a master card virtual credit card, so basicially I am using fiat virtual credit card which is used to top up with bitcoins.

I would like to try new services where I will be able to use debit/credit cards directly without using fiat in it (directly bitcoins).

I never tried using Bitcoin Debit Card is this for real? because i never knew about the bitcoin card i only use exchange website where i can buy or sell my bitcoin and if the cards for free i am going to order 1 to try but if that card cost me 18$ then no way i want to use my bitcoin wallet as my bank

I want to use it but their fee is to high.
People won't buy something with high price, we want cheap goods.
But the debit card make us pay more. Better use real money to get normal price.
Until one of them can service us with low fees.

Yeah that is exactly my question before if there is really a bitcoin debit card cause I never heard of it just on this post.  And according to those people who have read and have idea of what debit card is, it usually ask for a higher fee.  So I think it is much better if we justnkeep it on our wallet since there is no difference I guess.

I looked at it before but i thought it was abit pricy to be honest.  for it to be worthwhile then it needs to be worth it, if you know what i mean

As of now we dont have still any debit card for bitcoin here but if there is a bank that can provide bitcoin debit card here in my country i will get one and use it to deposit and withdrawing bitcoin for fast transaction. .also we can use it even in local stores if it will happen.

No in our country it has not been in the trend .well i guess even if debit cards come into action , the service card will be high for me and thats y i wont be using debit cards to a extend.

In my country this debit card is not available to use yet.
It is strange because very many people use it now and it is well known and widely accepted in most world shops from what I heard of now.

No I do not have any bitcoin Debit card as there is no any ATM for bitcoin in my country, but i heard on this bitcoin forum that some countries use bitcoin debt card and few sites allows that ,I hope it will reach sooner to our country as the users of bitcoin are increasing faster in my country and the government is also in its favor.

yes i heard it too that in some countries receive bitcoin debt card, maybe in 2017 we can see there are store online and store offline will be accepting bitcoin and bitcoin debit card so we can buy product. for now, i am enjoy to receive and send bitcoin without using bitcoin debit card.

It would be a great news that btc can be used for debit card more convenience is awaiting for the shoppers online and just like on my online wallet convertion to fiat currency is an option and its possible to be link with a debit card account to link to payments online. Hopefully this 2017 it will be more developed and more progressive on bitcoin.transaction and adoption of bitcoin using can be more applicable by most countries.

I would rather use my regular debit card issued by my bank than use Xapo or some other Bitcoin debit card. The annual fees are high and there is no real need for them. A better option would be to keep all my Bitcoins unless I really need to spend them because everything I need can be bought with fiat.

Yes i use bitcoin debit cards but thinking of discontinuing as soon as possible as i think it s not so much useful to me .as  the fees for it is high , with that amount i can buy a lot of bitcoins .thank you.

I use Bitcoin debit card and it works well for me. Spending Bitcoins with card is much more easier and convenient and it's accepted everywhere, I can buy everything I want, pay for any service. I don't think that fees are exaggerated for the service you get, you also have to pay different fees for fiat cards but still we all use them.

I use unverified Wirex with two different addresses. I like I can have any name on the card and it doesn't char me to spend in shop, only to withdraw from a cash point.

No, I don't have any and there's no access to get bitcoin debit card in my place as far as I know.
Will do some research about it.
However, I don't interested to use those kind of card because it make me easier to spend my bitcoin as I have planning only saving it as my backup plan if I don't have any choice, but for now my fiat savings still could cover my expenses.

I got one normal debit card from MasterCard but i never use it, i still need to activate it....

I have planned to purchase one but did not in the end cause of the high fees since the only available currency usually are USD, EUR and GBP . The virtual card are cheap and affordable but the physical one is not . Overall, I find using bitcoin debit card is an expensive one . It is much more cheaper and easier to covenrt your coins to your local currency and send it to your regular debit card .

Not every where accept them if in bitcoin or if in fiat then fees are too high, isn't bitcoin the point of low fees and freedom over your money?
I'm using bitcoin because I couldn't get debit or credit cards easily due to sanctions, not that ever stopped my country's people to achieve anything :D but I'm hoping some day the entire world accepts bitcoin for payment still I doubt it they ever will :(.

it's awesome. I'm looking for this debit card for bitcoin.
That is what I need now. I will join this Xapo and get one .
How can I get this card from international shipment?

No one really has answered my question and the point I am trying to make. Maybe because all the posts made here are mindless and only done innthe expense of their signature campaigns. I will say again that there is NO need for a Bitcoin debit card. Use what works for your daily needs. It is called CASH.

Not yet but I have been looking at my options. :-\
It is a tough decision to make because of the fees that they charge for you to load it, to withdraw from it and even for the amount that you have to hold on it without having to incur a service fee.
To know which one to choose from, it is a bit daunting to say the least. :-[

I don't use bitcoin debit card because it is additional expenses and bother. I use CEX.IO (https://cex.io/r/0/shketo/0/) instead. I sell bitcoins when I need and withdraw them from cex wallet directly to my regular Visa bank card and pay for this withdrawal $3.80 only. This is a cheapest fee. BTW, it's instant!

Not yet use it I will think if I will use this maybe in the future. There's too many ways here to widraw our money and convert to fiat I don't see any reason why I need to get that .

I didn't know there really are btc debit cards. Now I surfed on the Internet a bit and found about that you can withdraw EUR, GBP or USD anywhere (where such currencies are available) if I'm not mistaken. If it is really like that then it's cool. However, I bet the commission is not as law as they say it is. And in my country I wouldn't be able to buy something with these currencies, so I'll have to exchange them anyway. If I happen to live in GB, for instance, I'll think about buying a card.

I think Bitcoin debit cards are a cool idea but quite impractical. Unless you get paid in BTC you have a bank account anyway so you might as well get a debit card linked to that instead. Otherwise you're just paying unnecessary fees by going from FIAT to BTC and to FIAT again...

yes, i do . I have used this card for 1 year. it's useful for me to withdraw money .
The fee isn't high. I can agree with this fee. Thanks , XAPO card.

Last January I got the chance of getting a free bitcoin card by registering and giving our identity. It has got access to limited stores and services, I ignored else could have used it at least once. Lets wait, same as our bitcoin soon can get anonymous cards.

to me we still do not have such facilities in our area, we simply convert bitcoin in or local fiat in urdu bit.com in my country still  the service of any debit care is still not available in my country, therefore it us useless to keep it.

This is a nice feature for all exchanges to have. I believe the next exchange to implement something like this will be Bitstamp or Kraken. I have one question. Does the card have to be Visa? Do they also accept Master Card?

I dont have a Bitcoin debit card, but i have an idea of getting a debit card. I live in india and i dont think that i can get a bitcoin debit card here now.

The bitcoin debit card have nothing to do with the bitcoin ATM. The bitcoin debit card use bitcoin to have cash (normally euro, us dollar, pound etc). So you spend your bitcoin to have normal fiat currency. So needed ATM for the last ones and not for bitcoin. And ATM for those currencies must be in most of the countries of world now.

Thats a good idea on bitcoin about debit card and its really cool. But right now in my country btc debit card is not yet applicable but if you have big amount of btc in your online wallet then you convert it to fiat with certain charges yet you can in cash it and use a fiat debit card.as well. In future of bitcoin specially those who patronizes it with the most numbers of users its not impossible that bitcoin debit card will become a reality in our country in next few years and most importantly legit users will fill out a legit registration in order to avoid scammers to take over unacceptable acts.

First of all I dont prefer Xapo - its nothing but the lame banks that you see everyday in your town. It stores information and has no privacy - totally anti-bitcoin in my opinion.

Secondly, Bitcoin debit cards are not found and/or popular in my country. I hope they do become popular like bank debit/credit cards and then of course I would like to use them, albeit I would prefer the bank to not interfere in the transactions.

You could try to get a bitcoin debit card in cryptopay on which you could able to use it on any VISA supported atms all over the world and you could easily load up that card in just a matter of click.For now i dont have any cards but i have a plan on getting one soon on cryptopay.

I'm not 100% sure  but Xapo delivers Bitcoin debit card in all over the world so you may also get a Bitcoin debit card and you do not need any Bitcoin ATM machine to spend your Bitcoin. Bitcoin debit card just allows you to spend your Bitcoin in fiat so your Bitcoin is converted to fiat at current Bitcoin at the time of spending Bitcoin.

No even xapo is not delivering bitcoin debit card in india , still their is some time to get all cards in India. so till then all bitcoin users of india have to convert their bitcoin to fiat to use it. only online recharges of mobile , data card and some other facilities are supported through bitcoin.

In india using bitcoin debit card is legal? i want to go there too im hoping that there is or it will be happening on my country soon that they will be create bitcoin debit card where we can use it physicaly we have already but its virtual card only we use it to shop online :)

I never know about the bitcoin debit card. is it the same as normal debit card of the bank?
How can we transfer bitcoin to cash for withdrawing money at ATM?

I have not even own one but I know it will be cool for countries like USA or Uk whose currencies are quoted directly unlike me over here because we even have the official and the non-official exchange rate which is cheaper and has more gain. And now with A debit card to be use on our ATMs then I will be paid using the official rate in which I would have gained more, going through the way of exchangers who are likely to use the parallel rate with premium.

i hope that my country will collaborate with bitcoin too so banks here in my country will accept bitcoin so i can buy anything with my bitcoins. that will be a good advantage for me because most of my salary is in bitcoin because i like putting all of it on bitcoin because bitcoin is more secure than banks here in my country.

Actually the problem is that still Bitcoin status is not clear that is why the bitcoin debit card company are not accepting Indian users to issue bitcoin debit card, but very soon we Indian will also enjoy the benefit of bitcoin debit card as the awareness and acceptance of bitcoin is growing very fast in India

same is the case in my area also, we have no facilities here to get a bitcoin debit card, may be the reason that my country the users of bitcoin are still not so much, but hope that in future we will also enjoy these facilities.

I don't know about that, India’s government seems to be on a crusade against their citizen with the excuse that they are trying to stop money laundering, they have stole people's gold and they forbid the higher bank notes in their country so I don't think we are going to see that anytime soon.

I had a look at one a while back but it just didnt make financial sense for me to use one, i cant remember what it cost yo use one but it was significant.  ::)  such a shame to because i would like to use one.

No i don't use it, but i have plan to use it in the future and my choice for it, will to be https://uquid.com/
I have some reasons why choose it,
1. It has good rate for bitcoin's price (using bitpay to convert in giat)
2. They accept altcoins too, not only bitcoins.
3. There are no verification be needed for use it.
4. They have high limit.

we are also hoping the same. because in my country still there is not such facilities that bitcoin is providing in other countries of the world. hope that in future bitcoin will be accepted by banks and all the big shopkeepers  will also providing facilities to customers to use bitcoin for shopping.

Here in my country and our bitcoin wallet offer us virtual card to use shop online it has fee 1$ for activation but it will be on our balance this is quite interesting for using virtual card we are looking forward for what will happen next year for physical debit credit card hoping that it will be on our country so soon.

Looks like you are in my same place.. its really help that we have now a VCC or virtual visa debit card that we can use to shop online and verifying our paypal.. we can connect bitcoin into paypal and convert paypal funds into bitcoin.. the sad part if you are not verified owner of coins.ph you can use their vcc. and give all of your information in order to use the full service of coins.ph.

I do not currently use bitcoin debit card. I know the convenience provided by the bitcoin debit card, but in my town are very rare stores that accept credit cards or the like, they are still using cash
so for the moment I do not use a  bitcoin debit card

Currently I don’t use a physical debit bitcoin card because I don't see any need for it, but I do use a vcc from time to time that I can load with bitcoins so I can buy software and games that I need online.

You can use MasterCard as well, but fees for Visa are lower. )

Cryptopay offered me a plastic VISA and i also use advcash Mastercard and VCC.
I am happy with them

As long as you are shopping through online and only for digital goods, I guess you will not be needing plactic bitcoin debit cards, you can simply manage with VCC. But when it comes for physical shopping, bitcoin debit cards will be very handy. If you are not a dedicated bitcoin holder for long term, you may think about buying one plastic card.

bitcoin cards are awesomem never used one personally but one of my friend used that and he has payed a lot of bills/chargaes

One of the reason why I don't use a plastic one is that I don't like their fees and their recent reviews (like wirez/cryptopay/spectrocoin)
I use time to time the virtual one and I don't have any issue but haven't used any plastic one yet.

Well, now i don't need it, because i don't want to use these type of cards, because i already have a lot of other fiat cards, But when i need it, than off course i will choose it. My main reason is that i just buy bitcoin only for holding, not for use the bitcoin. I usually use the bitcoin in gambling and trading. Well, when i decided to use the debit bitcoin card than i will take step.

Well reading prior comments on this thread I understand how this can work by linking your btc wallet to your actual debit account and I think this would be very beneficial for us users. The only wish I have is for it to be available in more areas as for now, even if I have one of those, I can only use it for online purchases from businesses that actually accept btcs as payments.

For now it does not exists here in my country the use of bitcoin debit card,well i hope so its gonna be happening soon.Maybe it gives a little help with direct use in terms of paying , i hope that all the shops or even establishments here will be accepting bitcoins as a mode of payment, i hope so.

I would like to tell when we say bitcoin debit card we mean a card where we can load with bitcoins but we can use it like as our cards with fiat money. Most of them are virtual but if pay a small fee can come in your home after some days. More over some of them are prepaid too. You can use them like the other ordinary cards in ATM to withdraw fiat, for purchases online and so on. Some of them are https://spectrocoin.com/ and https://www.e-coin.io/.

I do not use because in my country there is no such service. Although, even if there was, I would not have used it. I'm still just hold Bitcoin and do not spend it

No VISA or Mastercard in your country, are you joking ?

According to their system of auto top up I also like xapo much, but it is not available in my country. In the meanwhile I found a local exchange in my country and whenever I want I withdraw my money from that exchange and use them with my bank card.

So far right now in my country don't have any debit card for bitcoin, because most of the people here don't about bitcoin/ digital currency. I wish sooner or later we could have that chance so I can experience to use it anywhere I go.

to this day i can not see any usefulness in using a bitcoin debit card.
if i want to spend bitcoin i would spend bitcoin directly from my phone/bitcoin wallet and directly to the merchants bitcoin wallet. any other way is not spending bitcoin, and a bitcoin debit card goes through the third party, changes it to fiat and takes lots of fees to let me use it! so what is the point, i am going to use a fiat debit card for free (no fees for using it here) and use bitcoin directly if i can.

  There is no real sense as a bitcoin debit card, But there are sites offering services to the Bitcoin holder currency conversion into local currency or something like that.

They got fees for each transactions?
Damn, 20$ + fees it's not cheap xD

Anyway I don't really like the idea because that means putting your BTC on xapo... And that's not something I'll ever do I think.

I have never used any of the cards relating to  bitcoin. Registered for the card that's been issued by bit-x, fortunately haven't received the card. That card is available for selected countries with limited services.

Same here and even if it was available worldwide what's the essence of such a card(with high transaction fees, I'm told). It defeats the purpose of decentralization because you'll be having your funds kept by the card company and they can be hacked. I think everyone should learn how to keep his/her wallet safe.

No I don't. As a European, my choices are quite limited + the fee is high.

If you meant the swipe machines then it would work as they are just visa / mastercard debit cards just there are loaded with bitcoins.
I have used spectocoin virtual debit card to make purchase from online stores that don't accept bitcoins till now.

Debit cards. Ohhh. Created to make people be tempted into using it. This is a good strategy by Xapo into making their wallet more profitable and it will be fast considering there are a lot of people who would want to try it. Yeah, who dont? We want to spend our hardworked bitcoins sometimes to just feel the goodness of it.

I have never heard about bitcoin debit card. But I'm interested to have one in the case if fees that I pay from using te card is lower than that those fees that I pay to an exchanger when I classically cashing out my bitcoins on my card.

XAPO is making ways to make their wallet more usable by their holders, tho it is a good strategy, but it will make the users to spend more, anyway who does not want to  try to spend their bitcoin in public.

Wow. The bitcoin really have grown. From some online-crypto-thing, now we have a debit card to use.
Although my mom use to say, use cash only, never get yourself a debit card/credit card. Hopefully she will change mind if I tell her about this. :D

I can't find local options for Bitcoin credit cards and they have even bigger fees than the conventional credit cards

So I prefer pay directly with BTC, when not possible I just withdraw from some exchange what I need

I once tested a debit card that accepted bitcoins as a loading option.
Some online shops acepted it, other did not. Then the money was put on hold and I had to wait a few weeks until it was cleared as a refund.
Personally I do not use it anymore because most shops I intended to use that card now accept bitcoin directly.

I have not used it yet. I have decided to buy zapo card.Now,each and every time, i have to contact localbitcoins.com to convert my bitcoins into fiat.If we have the bitcoin debit card, we can use it to buy products just like other debit cards.It will be very much helpful to use bitcoins in day to day life.

Im not using bitcoin debit card it's not available here in my country but once it available for sure im going to get one for fast transaction also for fast buying items or maybe to shop online because there are some online store here in my country that accepts bitcoin as a payment method.

I do not use any bitcoin debit card because till now I did not feel the use of bitcoin debit card because I do not do shopping from those places where a debit card is used so whenever I need some money I withdraw my money using my bank account while in some times I use my bitcoins directly from my wallet.

Are there any legit bitcoin debit cards?

I remember a few years ago the only website claiming to have a BTC debit card was owned and run by Moriarty, a known scammer.

Has that changed?

 ???

Who are the card issuers for the MasterCard version of these bitcoin debit cards?
I know Gibraltar is for Visa ones.

Are there any that don't charge you monthly to not have a balance on the card?
I can understand if you do but if I want to keep it dormant until I need it then this does not make sense. I just want to have the card ready and waiting for when I want to start using it.

I'm not using bitcoin debit card  or planning to have one. I don't like the idea of spending with debit card and have to pay high fees, remind me of conventional bank service which I don't like it in the first place. Depends on the FAQ to use the debit card, unfortunately I can't say too much as I don't know for sure, but if the idea similar to bank debit card, then it's not worth, at least for me.

Same here. I hate the high fees associated with most of the bitcoin debit cards. In my personal opinion, bitcoin debit cards are out of basic concepts of bitcoin system like we are selling bitcoins for the purposes of spending them. Even we are using bitcoins through debit cards it is equivalent to selling, I am really against it.

We all know that Bitcoin debit card is not just a debit card like all the original debit cards, we can say that all original debit cards are not just debit cards. We can see that debit cards from other company have hidden charges, but we cannot all see it. Just like on bitcoin debit card, we cannot see what will be the hidden charges will be ?

Bitcoin in my country are still banned and no one has used it officially as a means of payment. No news as to tell that there are outlets that accepted bitcoin. This ia because peoples knows bitcoin is still scarce. If I have a debit card bitcoin, of course, is not useful, so I do not have a debit card bitcoin.

Well good for you that kind of service in xapo, and it can an edge to you too. But sad in my part here in my place bitcoin is that popular for now only few people I know or familiar with this things. Hoping in the near future or before end of this year my country will become open into bitcoin.

I agree with you buddy, they are making way to earn more from their users by using the fees charge,
Though it was a nice strategy for those business minded, but to the users you cannot save that easy if you got an option of having this debit card.
 

That is very bad for your country that your country have banned bitcoin I think they do not know the benefits of bitcoin. According to my views if a country will deny their citizens from bitcoin then they are indirectly denying their people from the development and success.

Yes for Visa they are isssued from Gilbraltar. From what i noticed, for Mastercard they are issued from Wave Crest Holding. But i know only two sites having Mastercard that you can load with bitcoin. Avirexapp and Advcash. I own one from Advcash and it was coming from Germany. They don't charge monthly or annual fees for their card and the price is 5$. They also offer VCC for 1$ if i remember. They have a 3,000 USD/EUR daily limit for ATM cash withdrawals

Im not really aware that there are such debit cards that use bitcoin. Mkst likely with xapo, it converts btc to fiat when you do the purxhase. It's not really that much well kniwn yet though i'd love to have a debit card that uses btc so i can use my own btcs for purchase. It's just nit available from my location and i don't think it is available in mkst countries also

if needed i want to have it?

I hade one, about a year ago, for most payments it worked fine.
Had in issue once where my money was put on hold, but it all was available again after two weeks.
There were no further problems.
Right now I'm back to using my credit card.
My coins have become too valuable to me in the meantime.

As a matter of fact, I use several. My country's government (Greece) imposed big restrictions on outgoing bank transfers and withdrawals as measures against a bank run so getting one was a must. I have also created a thread related to bitcoin debit cards.

Check it out:

List of bitcoin debit cards (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1242788.0)

I would really love to have a bitcoin debit card but sadly most top bitcoin debit card companies doesn't ship to my country so I use Payza MasterCard. Even though its not a bitcoin debit card, you can upload funds on it with USD and exchange it to bitcoin on the same site. You can also use it to withdraw your btc to a bank.

I haven't use one but I know they exist and the reason for that is because its more expensive to use when converting to fiat where you will have to pay loading fee then thereafter charge you for withdrawing the experience I have with my Payoneer card is something enough where I was charged for even checking account balance not to talk of a btc card whether visa or master cards.

in my country there is no such thing as bitcoin credit card, if there is in my country then this is very good for bitcoin users, in addition to make it easy to transact, shopping in supermarkets can be used

I am less interested to using Bitcoin debit card and feel more accustomed to using blockchain to make transactions. Also i think, it's more confidential. Btc i have not yet too big, so it is very risky to use btc debit card for me.

Government have reason cannot accept Bitcoin. In fact, if they accepts an asset nobody management it, just by rich man and miner control all system (example 51% attack or control price on market), have many risk when accept Bitcoin. And they also do not taxes fee Bitcoin user :P

A few days back, I got one from Bitplastic. The limits are quite low, and the fee is very high. But still, I thought that I should get one. In India, the government is generally suspicious of Bitcoin activity, and there is a real chance that they will shut down the online exchanges. In such instances a debit card will become very useful.

They don't cost too much but I think that I'm spending the wrong money If i choose to spend bitcoin through bitcoin debit cards, they are good if we have no other option to spend the funds but for normal cases I wouldn't spend the bitcoins.

I'd use such a card for sure. I don't want to exchange the majority of my BTC and I'd better exchange small parts of my holding when I buy something...

 
I did not know that PAYZA was doing this kind of development, but I figured out how it works, but I'll look at the details later, I guess there is no card fee, is it free?

Understand the answer first because he didn't mean that bitcoin is been adopted by payza team. He just said he is already using master and payza cards to credit with funds in his account not btc wallet. So there is no answer for your question asked here.

They are not international entity yet and they lack the customer base for that reason. Though they have created a spendable bitcoin through debit cards but it's not use if I can't spend or use my crypto card in other countries. It should have that potential as I can just fly with it anywhere in the world. Now that would be great experience to tell anyone I meet with my bitcoin card. :-)

For me personally i have never used a debit card on Bitcoin. Looks like there is no debit card available for bitcoin in my country, Of course if it is available i will using it. That would be very beneficial in bitcoin transactions.

I don't use bitcoin debit card because it is not a wise decision for me because i'd rather put my bitcoins on a cold storage or use it to trade altcoins rather than putting it on a debit card that can be use to pay the things that i will buy which is not a wise practice for me because i always think for either saving or earning more bitcoin for long term and not for using it as a money.

I don't really understand the point of them. It's just too easy to change between Fiat and Bitcoin and back again. Really I kind of used Bitcoin for one set of things and fee on for another set of things so I don't see the need to have that sort of instant access through an ATM card.

no I don't use a bitcoin debit card because I live in bangladesh and bangladesh is not a so much developed country and there is no way bitcoin debit card.

Yes I do for a long time now and I'm very satisfied with that service. It's very convenient to use and you don't have to worry if some merchants accepts Bitcoins or not. Without Bitcoin debit card I don't know how would I use Bitcoins in everyday life for everyday expenses so I don't understand people so don't see the POINT of such card. Because Bitcoins are not made just to be kept in the wallet and not used for anything and not everyone wants to exchange it for fiat and leave traces on bank account.

Nope never used bitcoin debit card since its not available here in our country but hoping in the future it will reach here since many of my country men are using bitcoin already. And for me its very convenient using a bitcoin debit card specially if you go online shopping/transactions.

yes i use it but problem is about using ID and many cards not support USA verificaion

In my opinion, Bitcoin debit cards are providing a very convenient to convert Bitcoin to physical cash and it can be withdrawn anywhere in the world mostly when there are ATMs you can easily get your cash without so much hassles. Of course, this service is more inclined to people who are planning to spend their Bitcoin with anything. A person who is trading will not transfer his Bitcoin to the debit card company, of course.

not yet, but i want to know and i want to using bitcoin debit card, where i can get it?? all country have bitcoin debit card or just limited?

No, I don't use a bitcoin debit card because of the high fees I needed to pay for the services provided by the company that issued the card to me, I would rather use credit cards provided by banks that charges lower annual fees for purchasing items online.

I still think that bitcoin debit card are having a lot of issues and it's better for my opinion to make a local card and exchange the money and deposit like that, because you need to pay for holding the card + fees for checking balance, withdrawing etc. and it's better in a current moment to use your debit card and deposit it from exchaning bitcoin to stated currency

i prefer cyrtopay  because it is only 2.5$ with large limit if you verified it you can get unlimited

also can ask for plastic one

i don't trust about bitcoin debit card. i don't like to use it.
I prefer to sell/exchange my bitcoin and deposit on bank card.

that also goes for me. i really think that you can save more if you just convert your bitcoins to fiat rather than using bitcoin debit card because right now there are way too many

fees compared to the usual debit cards we use--cash. honestly people like the anomity of it but you don't really need it unless you're doing something illegal. and i'm not that

sure if the plastic version is acceptable in my country particularly those who has no name on it

It is up to them if they will use bitcoin to pay or buy something they really need and we don't have any rights to be against with them because that is their own money and having profit or money in bitcoin is totally worth it to spend if they really want to, maybe just to buy necessary things or to reward their self, as long as they are happy with their money then we cannot do anything about that.

You are absolutely right. I think Debit card is one of the greatest facility which they are providing to us. We want to have our Bitcoin transferred into money and we can buy almost anything where Bitcoin can be used. So there is no harm of keeping it, using it or not depends on you but you should have it.

No I don’t use bitcoin’s debit card because it is too much expensive to buy and there is no need of it because I think one must just memorize his/her digital account number for sale/purchase of the online products . I might be buying it in future when I have enough money for it.

i think the debit card or bitcoin useless if they have high fess and there's no ATM works with bitcoin debit card , i only use the wallets

Yes I agree, I also do not use debit cards bitcoin because I also don't understand this card I can get where and how to get it, whether there are rules to have it. But if there is a debit card that will ease the bitcoin us to do transactions with bitcoin. and if in my city there are, true to your words I would also like to give it a try. with so much easier and efficient job time.

i don't like to sell my bitcoin and deposit on bank card i use electrum wallet to save my bitcoin for the security, because keeping and holding bitcoin is good in investment for long term, the return on that idea is profitable. i convert bitcoin in local currency if i need for my daily expenses.

And I can't try to used them since I don't know on what is the debit card provider is honest and which of them are scam that's why I preferred to used our local wallet for more convenience upon using. And having a debit card and holding your balance their is so risky since I'm afraid that spectro coin issue will be happen to us if we fall on bad debit card provider.

But for me as not a risk taker, my earning in bitcoin was withdrawn and deposit it into bank, but i am planning to hold my future income in signature campaign as my investment which i know it could get more profit in the future.
I do not used bitcoin debit card because bitcoin is not yet totally adopted in our country and it will not yet part of mode of payment in different local stores.

You are right. There is no such need of keeping the Bitcoin Debit card. But I think there will be no harm in it that if we keep it with ourselves and use it. It will do nothing but will give us more comfort as compared to what we had in past and will help us in managing the things in a better way as before.

I do a withdrawal of funds on my bitcoin account and store it on a debit card, because in my country bitcoin can not be used a legitimate direct selling tool.

No, I'm not using any bitcoin debit card because we only 1 bitcoin ATM machine and the time travel starting from My  home is 3hours.

I think everyone has his own choice and has his own liking and disliking. If you are not comfortable with Bitcoin debit card, then you need not to use it. I think you should give it a try at least once; it is really a good thing with a lot of benefits. You should use it for once and I guarantee you will continue to use it.

Your bitcoins wallet is a form of debit card.... As you have noticed, there are a lot of options you can use thereto... You can use it for paying bills... And all that stuff.. we only need to explore it....

At this time I do not, but I would certainly entertain the idea.

I personally didn’t use this Bitcoin debit card in real but like you said Bitcoin debit card is available and is very much beneficial for the ones who have a good amount of Bitcoins. It is more or less the same as that of normal debit card having all the features you need to have. You can save a lot of your time of you have this card.

Sure having a debit card based on bitcoin is a very good idea,but the problem is that we are still having a big void in the market and most of the countries does not have these sort of facilities at the moment,but in due time i expect to see more companies coming out with these options .

I dont use bitcoin debit card as still my country is not eligible to get bitcoin debit card, but i have got lot of information that their charges are so high that it is better to convert bitcoin to fiat and use it.

I don't use debit card and its due to the fees involved from the loading fee, transaction fees down to the withdrawal fees at local ATM couple with the unfavourable exchange rate that will be used at the point of withdrawal, I will just stick to my method of cashing out which is getting individuals who are ready to buy then transfer into my account without any hassle.

Yes you could use bitcoin as debit card,and yes you could buy whatever you want with BTC. BUt I still looking forward to the time that bitcoin whould be accessible anywhere you could just use it using your pin or personal number.Since here I can just use my bitcoin buying online.

I've been using Xapo-card for about a year now. I'm satisfied with this service. Payments are very convenient and fast

I am using Sectrocoin euro visa and virtual gbp visa,very good service,if i transfer dash from exchange than exchange dash to fiat and load my card take 10min,really nice.I can also unload funds from card and load card at any place in internet

I am using also Skrill card ,Skrill accept btc and ecopayz what is accepting ltc and btc,both have master card,but only Spectrocoin works both way

it will be my pleasure to use bitcoin debit card but in fact in my area we do not have such facilities and even i do not know about the procedure how to get a  bitcoin debit card, i do not think that there may be a single person who know about bitcoin debit card, we use our local exchange to convert bitcoin in to our local exchanges for converting our bitcoin into our local fiat currency.

Is really bitcoin debit card exist???  I am anaware about it.  If anyone knows about it please give me some idea about it

Hello friends. Love this topic, good discussion too.

I found this Bitcoin Debit Card Comparison Guide (https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/#/cards). I hope you all find it useful!

I like the convenience that the debit cards provide, but I think it's a mistake if the cards don't say "bitcoin" on them. We miss an opportunity to show people when and how frequently we're using Bitcoin.

How do we get these cards to have a Bitcoin related reference on them?

For now well, I do not really think I need it since I can easily get my bitcoin converted to fiat in just seconds and I have it straight up in my account. Maybe when I see that the need warrants it, I could probably consider.

Hey man, just found out that Xapo is restricting use of all cardholders located outside the EU, starting October 15, 2017.

I hope you live in the EU, otherwise you should find another card!

https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/xapo-usd-card/ (https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/xapo-usd-card/)

I don't use bitcoin debit cards, the idea is good but I just don't want too many cards in my wallet. I already use a couple of debit cards and one credit card(hardly)  because just in case you know anything can happen in real life.
I would like to use a bitcoin debit card in the future once I return back my debit and credit cards to the respected banks.

No I don’t know about bitcoin debit card .
When I get some money through bitcoin then I will try to use bitcoin debit card.
If you have some money in wallet then you must have a debit card to withdraw that.

I have never use bitcoin debit card since I know about bitcoin because the ATM which accept bitcoin is not available in my country. But hopefully, in the nearest future the ATM should be available every where in my country for everyone to use, since the numbers of bitcoin user are increasing day after day.

i am not using bitcoin debit card because in my country, i am having difficulties to find any local store or online store that accepting bitcoin debit card. but maybe if in future, there is any store available, i will order the debit card so i can trying to use the card to buy something. but i think it feels the same as we use debit card or credit card from the banks and the different is we can use our bitcoin directly without withdraw bitcoin first.

I am not use a bitcoin debit card because this coin not accept our country, but this coin accept our country i will definitely use this card.

Bitcoin debit card isn't really available in every country as for now. But I love to have one. Since there are not much stores accepting Bitcoin as for now. Therefore, we need banks for converting first our Bitcoin to fiat and then use that in stores. Bitcoin debit card will make that process easy. I am anytime ready to have that kind of debit card until Bitcoin doesn't becomes mainstream.

I wanted to get a bitcoin debit card sometime, but really, the card fees are too high. That's why I use other cards. If you know a debit card that does not cost a card, I would expect the proposals.

I don't want to get a bitcoin debit card, it will be useless to me as I'm a person that keeps on saving and the fees does matter to me. And that's why I'm doing my best just to budget the things that I need to buy. But well I wanted to experience and maybe I'll get when I've got tons of money and the fees aren't big deal to me anymore but for now, I have no interest of using it.

I dont use it. I plan to.
For now i just transfer bitcoin to cex.io , sell it there. Rates are always 1-2% higher than anything you can buy at other places.
Than i just transfer money to visa. 3.80 flat. Very fast. I actually gain couple of USD in process.
It takes couple of days to approve card there.
Very nice service. Highly recommended.

I still haven't used my btc as for debit cards but I mostly used this for online transactions - though my online wallet can let us use it as a credit and debit card.
I guess the transaction fees are very high on this case.

The local exchange wallet that I've been using has given me some convenience because I can easily exchange my BTC into fiat but I think having a bitcoin debit card would also be convenient. With a bitcoin debit card, I won't have to retrieve or carry the fiat. Fees may be a problem but there are also fees when I exchange BTC and when I use credit cards. I don't own a bitcoin debit card because I don't think that it's available in my country nor will I be able to use it as there are no merchants which accept it, from my knowledge.

I guess it could also provide you a sense of security, because you may use the bitcoin debit card in times of emergency.

No, I don't, I can't find any ATM near me, and I only know just one Bitcoin ATM which is miles away from me. If I have a chance and I can use it. In City where I live, I can't find any way to use it unless ATM machines would accept it. I am willing to try it.

But for now, I am comfortable to just using exchanges and just converting to fiat and then deposit the money to my bank account. I am willing to try it though if there is a chance.

Actually I am not yet famailiar with this but with the word itself, it is actually an interesting idea. However, I have insights that what may bring this idea in a bad side. First is that people might tend to have more access to it therefore giving hackers other means to hack Bitcoins.

Also one bad side is that we really dont have to use or dont need to debit card unless Bitcoin will continue to grow thst almost everyone is using it.

No, I do not. I do not find any comfortable while using this type of card although there are many people using them and even invest their money into many ICOs that relate to the debit card industry such as Tokencard, MOnaco, Tenx, etc. Bitcoin is for the people who want to be anonymous. Debit card is for people who want to reveal their identity to the world

I thought of using a bitcoin debit card in past but it's fees were staggering high at that time because the debit card was the new trend back then and it's per transaction fees, withdrawal fees and monthly maintainance fees were quiet high, so I left the idea of using debit card and got verified my poloniex account and then started withdrawing from that account to my bank account, this costs me kuch less in fees as compared to the other alternative, i.e. Debit card. But today I got interested again in bitcoin debit cards by reading this topic, so maybe I can think of it once again if the fees would have been reduced now.

I haven't heard about bitcoin having a debit card, maybe because its not yet available in our country. But if it will be available in our country maybe ill use it for it will be more accesible to us specially since not all of the stores accepts bitcoin.

I don't but I think it's centralized like online walkers and do your coins wouldn't be as protected as you'd want to store them in an offline wallet or even blockchain qt wallet.

I noticed it on xapo when I had just joined bitcoin community about two years ago I think they were planning it at that time but I never cared to get it as I never felt the need for it but having known you guys using it and finding it convenient to use I think I would give it a try in the future especially when there's a bitcoin ATM in my city, currently there's none in my city.

That would be great, if all places accepted bitcoin payments. I've been using Cryptopay when traveling and it has been working great. So until every store accepts btc payments I guess we're stuck with 2% transaction fees. Just using a card in my country's currency would result in a conversion fee larger than that. Xapo for now is not the best anymore when fees of them are really high

No, there is no facility in some Asian countries.

I have no idea about this .Because bitcoin debit card are not allow in our country.I am use now payoneer master card  but its card cost so so high.I think most of asia country not fullyful legal bitcoin

No, I'm new to bitcoin so I do not use bitcoin debit card, other than that my country has no exchanger that issued debit card so if I have certainly can not be used, but I hope someday it can have bitcoin debit card.

I am also not aware on such uses Bitcoin with debit card, becasue for now all I can see to bitcoin is its potential to grow and to develop where it can achive development and growth with the proper used and learning through the system of Bitcoin on transaction, investments and trading that can give people a chance to have a profit with the used of their bitcoin.

 i think it is not a good thing to have a bitcoin debit card because that way you're having your coins stored by a third party and a total deviation from the elements of the blockchain technology. Your coins wouldn't be safe with the card issuing company.

Lol bitcoin debit card is not related to the legalization, and all of the thing that just like supported the visa and master card should be accepted in every country or even store. you word doesn't make sense.

for now in my country there is no bitcoin debit card. Because bitcoin has not been authorized as a means of payment. But I hope that in the near future there can be bitcoin debit card in my country

I have the card form MisterTango, and while it's a great emergency backup, the fees on it are not really reflective of the restrictions. Still, for something that I got completely free and that I can use to bail myself out from almost anywhere if needed I'm holding onto it. Might get myself the CryptoPay card as well, because it seems like a way cheaper alternative.

It seems interesting, I wonder how much the monthly fee if using bitcoin debit card, and which bank can accept bitcoin?
I get a quote from XAPO is it a good bitcoin debit card?

I'm also hoping that someday such thing will happen,maybe by tjat time I have already save enough and can avail to purchase stuffs paying thru btc.

No, i have never use bitcoin debit card because the ATM is not even available in my country. I hope when bitcoin is legalize in my country maybe then, the ATM will be available for me and every other users of bitcoin to make use of it for our day to day transaction.

if there is ATM Bitcoin in my country then 100% I will use bitcoin debit card but very unfortunate atm machine not here yet.

there are some nice providers out there, leader is currently TenX, check em out

other debit card providers are Monaco and TokenCard

The fees are a bit high, even if they promise 0% exchange fees, you still pay about 2% for each purchase for transaction fees.. when these will decrease I might join

Bitcoin debit cards are NOT in any way linked to the Bitcoin ATM. Bitcoin ATM allows you buy Bitcoin or Sell for fiat currency.
Bitcoin debit cards primarily allows you spend the Bitcoins you already have as if it was your local currency (in places that do not normally accept Bitcoin)

The absence of Bitcoin ATM in your Country should not stop you from having a Bitcoin Debit Card if you want one it makes paying your everyday bills easier.

No i went to Gerogia.
Drunk some wine.
Eat some churchhella .
Opened some bank account with Visa attached to it.
Really nice experience.

used cryptopay for a short while. yeas, fees are kinda high, but very convinient if you want to convert you btc to cash without any hassle. Also used Spectrocoin digital card but stopped using it after a week because there were some weird payments being made a few times.

I have 5 btc debit card and using them to withdraw bitcoins instantly as cash are second to none feeling. No shitty,standart rules: need to wait 3 business days and small limits etc

I havent used any debit card for bitcoins although we have ATMs here. Just not trying to do it yet so but planning on so that it will be easy swiping my payments and without cash in my pocket

Im not sure if a bitcoin debit card is already available in our country but i will be very glad to have one. Since im so into online shopping its nice to have the bitcoin debit card because you can always use it anytime online or to any establishments who accepts bitcoin. But i heard there is already a bitcoin ATM which dispenses fiat which is also very cool.

I also have the same question with you, why should I use bitcoin debit card and what is the advantage? I also never use bitcoin debit card because I feel not need it because for me bitcoin is an investment, not used to buy goods other than that in my country there is no place  receive payment with bitcoin while for online purchases that I often do they do not accept payment with bitcoin

Debit cards are like credit cards but the advantage of debit cards is you will have a chance to buy something if you will put money in it so if you will have bitcoin debit cards then you need to put some bitcoin and that is an advantage for us since one of our primary source of income is bitcoin and we will not have any problem with buying stuffs since debit cards are widely accepted.

Here in my country we still don't have  ATM because bitcoin is not yet fully accepted and the awareness to this is still few. And if we have that here as well as the debit cards maybe I'll use it for more convenience. Besides, it's not a credit card so I will not have a debt to pay. And if this will really happens here, using bitcoin for our daily lives will be a less hassle and many will get more curious and get attracted to use.

I dont use because i dont pretend to spend my bitcoins at all, i do know some people wich tryed to get a debit card and well the companie werent able to honour the bid soo they refunded the money to them, but the thing is those debit cards are amazing tool to people wich complaint cant use bitcoin directly.

Not yet but i will.This idea makes me so excited.So i bought a centra blue card.now i waiting for that and i wondering is will be really easy and fast.if it will be i will cancelled my whole visa's and maestro's

Unfortunately, for the time being my country is not so developed to have ATM of this type

I'm still not using bitcoin debit card this is because I still felt quite new and with the current situation. I only use 3 web wallet and sometimes also use the wallet of the exchanger.

It sounds interesting, i also want to have it if there is, but for me personally i haven't used it, because in the country i haven't provided a Bitcoin debit card like as debit cards for regular currency. Well.. i really want to have it if it's already available in my country.

I personally do not have a bitcoin debit card yet, because bitcoin in my country does not use ATM

I do not have a bitcoin debit card

This is a new fuction that not much websites can provide, you should try it, the fee is depend on the blockchain system, usually it's smaller than others visa or debit cards you've ever used.  Coinbase is one in the few website provide it. I think it's just because you do not have a habit of using debit card, it's actually covenient and help you stay away from embarassing moments when you don't have cash.

Right... although I can see why the guy got confused. If you don't know about crypto debit cards it can be confusing.

I think they are the least appreciated thing in the crypto world, by the way. You can literally fund an account with Bitcoin and make every day purchases with your debit/credit card like normal, only using Bitcoin/crypto. This is what we all need. We all should be applying for them.

I do not use bitcoin debit card because in my country it seems not yet but if there is already I'm not so interested because if we have bitcoin debit card it will be easy to always spend it and it will make bitcoin savings will quickly run out for items that are not so important and I

It is incredibly how thing evolves with bitcoin. Unfortunately, at this moment, i'm don't have a bitcoin card but i plan to get one in the future. I have heard that they are practical, it works just like a credit card, no big difference. I think that next week i will fill the sheet to get one.

I will tell you that in many countries such cards can be widely used in certain places and large cities, but it is best to have an account where you can convert a value from a bitcoin into another currency and pay it like a normal card.

I only have heard rumors of the existence of bitcoin debit cards and am sure that such debit cards would be used in the bitcoin ATM's that are spring up in some places in the world, there are not even enough normal ATM's in my country how much more the bitcoin ATMs.

Its not rumour as there have been severals ATMs both virtual and physical which can be used domestically like the normal ATMs just that the charges might be on the high side. I am still wondering which country you are that in the 21st century, there is no abundant amount of fiat ATMs. Although, over here too, I have not seen bitcoin ATM machines.

i used them both why? because thru bitcoins i can convert it to our money and have it deposited to my debit card and then do any transaction. if ever bitcoin is become fully or more accepted here in our society then that's the time i will no longer use debit card.

Is Xapo any good. I got in touch with these cards once I saw the Centra ICO, and I took some time reading their whitepaper. It was after reading it that I realized that there were many more bitcoin debit cards and xapo actually looked like the worst one, just looking at the comparison they did. Only accepted one coin, and had higher fees. Centra looked really good, and so did TenX. I will probably give them a try.

In my country Bitcoin is not yet supported in ATMs, so we cant use the bitcoin debit cards here. Also I don't need to sue it because I am holding most part of my btc earnings.
I use BTC mostly to make my payments online sometimes.

This is the first timw that i heard bitcoin debit card but if there is bitcoin debit card then it is very useful to us because  it is now so easy for us to pay if we have something to buy i a mall etc that accept debit cards so less hassle to us and more convinient

Same here in my country Bitcoin debit card don't exist yet here but i know time will come we will surely adopt that system. Bitcoin is really a new system for us that makes money, and i want to use those bitcoin debit card to transact more easily.

Yeah I agree and like the idea of bitcoin debit card but personally I don't want to have one because if I'll have one I really be tempted to spend more whenever I go to shopping as I know that it would be easy to pay. Well to think that it will take years to have a debit card here in my country as well as the ATM booths.

About the list of bitcoin debit cards presented above,  is interesting.  The overall fee is more important in comparation with price we pay per plastic card,  because that fees will pay every time we use the card.

Actually, I do not like debit cards, it's a form of self-made debt, but it's still good for us if it can be used with Bitcoin. In part, it will help Bitcoin become more popular and more and more people use it for more conventional payment services.

Some people i know had asked for those debit cards but somehow they had canceled those cards for out country soo we have no option besides exchange the bitcoins into fiat, i believe sooner or later someone will come with those debit cards as bitcoin gets more popular here as well, not all people interested into have such debit card.

well if that debit card available here in the philippines well i will buy one to safe my bitcoins, bitcoin is the best bank for me so that i will buy some of that if that is available here, but where would that can withdraw?

My be in some countries some people are using bitcoin debit card, but in my area bitcoin is very new, still a small number of people are using it, therefore i do not think that in my country any person will be using such card, May be in future when bitcoin will become more popular then we can expect that bitcoin debit card will be available here.

Soon that will happen.Like a fiat withdrawal ,bitcoin withdrawal will also happen.For that some things should happen.

1.Bitcoin should replace the entire Currency System.
2.Bitcoin bank should be implemented.
3.Like a FIAT,Bitcoin also should be in paper form to withdrawal.

How is it a form of self-made debt? In fact, I like debit cards as compared to credit cards because the transactions are real time and whenever I make a transaction, the expense is automatically deducted to my account. Unlike with credit cards where you pay at a later period. With debit cards, I won’t be able to purchase without having the sufficient balance in my account.

To answer OP, no I do not because none are available in my country. Perhaps if there was, I would have one because I’d find it convenient.

I see you are quite optimistic. What does “soon” for you mean? If it means at least ten years I might agree with you up to a point.

However, I’m not so sure that bitcoin will replace the entire Currency System, I think it will rather co-exist with it.

Bitcoin bank? Do you mean like traditional ones?

Paper form doesn’t sound so strange to me but overall, those statements seem too heavy for me as to state that they will happen soon.

May be in future when bitcoin will become more popular then we can expect that bitcoin debit card will be available here and The overall fee is more important in comparation with price we pay per plastic card.Like a Fiats DEBIT cards,Bitcoin debit card also will Generated in future.

Not really, the price of the coin is much too low for Bitcoin to get spent.

Not quite yet but I get closer everyday as I ordered one last month and it should be here quite soon. Cannot wait for the day I can buy stuff in real life with my crypto coins. Gonna be a incredible day to say the least  ;) :D

You can use your bitcoin card in your country too !
Physical or Virtual Bitcoin cards are just like any other Visa, Mastercard,etc Credit/Debit Cards. You can use your bitcoin cards in all the stores that accept these cards. The only difference in bitcoin cards is that they loaded with cryptocoins instead of fiat, rest all is same.

I've only used OKPay so far (The Physical one), the card issue costs $15, with free shipping. At the same time, the fees seem reasonable and do not offer a monthly fees, like many others do. I've used it a couple of times and faced no issues, even internationally.

For that very reason I don't think we'll het any easy to obtain/use and reliable card anytime soon. Last thing issuers want is to see crypto slowly killing them.

There an ICO called SALT - where you do not have to spend your Bitcoin - you can use it as collaterial for a loan instead.  That way you can keep you crypto for large price spikes up - and the loan does not become a taxable event as you technically still own your bitcoin.  I do believe they also will be giving debit cards.  They have not actually started issueing loans yet - think they are waiting for legal team to iron out things.  But you can pick up the SALT tokens for $3 right now - which will get you a loan of up to $10,000 - once they go Live with project I am sure the SALT tokens will rise in value. For 30 Tokens you can get loans for up to 1 Million.  the tokens are used for annual membership fees for the service.  The interest rates should be low because they hold you Bitcoin as collaterial.

Having a debit card does not mean that it is a self made debt card,it just helps people in using and spend bitcoin in different ways and i would like to have a debit card in my country,but sadly i am still waiting for a company to come up with a card for the people of my country,but i hope the transactions charges are not exotic . :D

I use my phone to send and receive bitcoin, i haven't use any of bitcoin debit card. but i wish i could have atleast one. they said that the best bitcoin debit card is xapo. well there's alot of bitcoin debit card that selling online and i will buy soon..

Unfortunately i've never used a bitcoin debit card but i'm pretty sure that i will use one of those . it will be really amazing i think

No I don’t use bitcoin credit card because in my country this facility is not available. I just use my bitcoin wallet and when I need money I withdraw my bitcoin and the available exchanger convert my bitcoins in my local currency. It is more comfortable for me than using credit cards.

I trust mostly in direct dealing other than credit cards because of the scammers and hackers around the world and the authorities does not accept any misuse in any case.

Unfortunately bitcoin debitcard is not yet available in our country but if ever it would be available , I would love to have one. It is more accessible since you don't have to have an internet access so you can easily buy or pay something you want.

I haven't tried to use a bitcoin debit card. All I do is withdraw my money first then I use it to buy. Although, I would like to have that bitcoin debit card. I think I can do a lot of things using that card. This is a really good news.

I have a friend who uses it, and it's actually quite convenient. Everything that he buys, he uses his bitcoin debit card. Although, I asked him how to apply, we haven't talked about it yet. He said he will guide me the next time we meet.

Bitcoin has become very famous and now it is being use by all the people so it is the time to buy the bitcoin and to bhold for the long time all the people is aware of the valuable currency and the currency will be more than this as the best currency of the money. I hold the bitcoin will help all the people are having a lot of the money to get for the best of the money to buy more and get more.

I dont use BTC debit card because my country doesn't support it may be hopefully by 2030 ::) ::)

Same here. We still have no Bitcoin Debit Card available here in my country. I hope that there will be available Bitcoin Debit card in our country sooner so we can also use it if in case we have emergency or we need to have some cash for unplanned expenses if ever. I hope that our country is like your country who are open-minded when it comes to bitcoin so it will be easy to have bitcoin debit card here.

I use several Bitcoin debit cards like coinizy, spectrocoin, cryptopay, among others. But I recommend for you to use coinizy because you can use it efficiently for small transactions. Nonetheless, I cannot vouch for Bitcoin debit cards in general because it is like converting your Bitcoins to fiat. Like for instance, if the value of Bitcoins increase, the amount of Bitcoins you have in your debit cards will no longer increase because its value has already been fixed and thereby unaffected by the fluctuations of the Bitcoin market. That is why to be safe, and should you need to use one, convert only a little amount of Bitcoins to your debit card.

I do not have bitcoin debit card yet. So I am not using bitcoin debit card this time. Maybe if I already have bitcoin debit card, I will surely use it because it is very easy to get our cash from ATM Machine. But if ever there is already bitcoin debit card, can we use other ATM machine even if it is not Bitcoin ATM Machine? Because we do not have Bitcoin ATM Machine her in our country.

I have never seen it. It makes us lurk in the debt loop. It is better if a credit card is issued, it will help us a lot in life.

Oh i never know that that bitcoin has a debit card but if wanna use that if my countrybwas available to use it bitcoin here is not much popular only rare place has accept bitcoin payment.

Fees are essential on dealing with transactions, so if you want a better for of transaction with the used of bitcoin you should also need to consider learning the system of bitcoin for us to deal with decision aligned through the changes of the value of Bitcoin. So if there are going to be a debt system on bitcoin it might have a new form system that can implement so that it may have a better form of debt for people to be used in investments.

You are talking about debit and credit cards while in our country there is even no name of bitcoin known to any layman. Only educated or people related to technology they have some knowledge of bitcoin else no one knows what bitcoin is and what all this crypto world is. So better is to wait for better time. Hope so in coming future things will be fine here all at once.

I never use and have never seen a people who uses.
Are this cards safe?
