Title: Bitcoin based credit card?
Post by: trainhappy on April 21, 2013, 08:21:05 PM
Ok, so people normally pay cash for credit card bills. What if we had one that let you pay bills with bitcoins? Or a debit card system where you deposit bitcoins, and are able to use a card to spend them anywhere?

Bitcoin denominated card is going to need something like OpenPay.  However a card that converts bitcoins in your account into whatever currency you need for spending already exists.  You just need to find a bank that views bitcoins like any other currency.
