You can watch the interview on the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nihzliIDWpY It's not easy for mainstream buyers to purchase bitcoincash though, as it is still not on coinbase.

Visa and Crypto are on the opposite ends of multiple spectrums. Visa would remove anonimity, introduce centralization and it give control over your funds in the hands of the Visa issuer. Once you put coins on your Visa debit card, they're not really yours anymore, the card issuer (bank) does and you're trusting them. Then the government can swoop in and take them from you. It's just dumb. I always disliked bcash but now it sould be clear for everyone the direction they're taking.

And I think it's a bit confusing that exchanges use different symbols for it. No idea why it's not rectified, consistency would be good. Title: Re: Bitcoin Cash Visa Debit Card announced Post by: Minecache on December 12, 2017, 07:22:09 PM I wonder if this kind of cards would be available worldwide or only at EU and US region? I suppose there is no sense to make another very local debit card.

The raison d'etre of decentralized currency is that no central trusted third party such as government can freeze, seize or otherwise control you blockchain assets. The moment you transfer your assets to the accounts belonging to some legal entity regulated in some legal jurisdiction, you lose this important property. At that point, you're better off using Visa with fiat currencies, it's faster.

It's getting silly.

It's getting silly. honest question. Why do you think they should be promoting BTC over BCH? Especially in a DEBIT CARD scenario which is used for FAST/CHEAP micro transactions......

After such announcement governments just cannot ignore bitcoin anymore "governments just cannot ignore it anymore"... no but with debit cards they can control it. They not just could track people who use Bitcoin or Bcash debit cards but also seize their funds... Title: Re: Bitcoin Cash Visa Debit Card announced Post by: Sjonnebonbon01 on December 13, 2017, 09:34:02 AM Hi Guys,
It looks like Bitcoin Cash broke a little resistance line on this news, but it needs volume to push itself of this line. Here is my chart: https://www.tradingview.com/x/DqC0bMog/ PS I am new to TA so any advice/suggestions are welcome! Title: Re: Bitcoin Cash Visa Debit Card announced Post by: Freddoe on December 13, 2017, 11:19:37 AM This is awsome! Been waiting for a card that will work and I have belife in BCH....
