How it works:
You have a Centra wallet connected to the debit card.  You select which token you want to use and when you use the card, your crypto gets converted to fiat at the time of purchase.  So the receiving end gets fiat.  Usable anywhere that MasterCard is accepted.  Currently ships world wide!!

And that's just one of the 8 currencies initially supported. btc, ltc, eth, dash, zec, xmr, xrp, ctr, and more to be added. By far offers more than any other crypto card, and Centra's own exchange, blockchain, market place is yet to come!!

That is very cool. I love where the cryptocurreny usage and adoption is taking us.

I have heard of this Centra card and that they were in development. So now they have released their wallet / card solution to the general public. I love the idea of getting access to my crypto assets and being able to spend them in day to day activities. I will be putting this on my TO DO list straight after Christmas.

Guys, cryptocurrency is intended for buying items or services payments and that's the way coins should be but in Bitcoin's case it cannot be done easily because of the massively heavy traffic of transactions congestion is affecting the network so it's a matter of speed the most advantage of every coin.
If Ripple can transact a very fast transaction like in just a minute then it would be fine because market institutions should be able to accept cryptocurrency payments these days supposed to be.

That's a good one. If a Cryptocurrency can manage to accommodate the transaction speed then many business institutions will accept cryptocurrency as payment for products and services like Centra Card that will be available for public use.
If Ripple can offer more then that would be great and so as other coins also.

So this time still we're using fiat instead of Cryptocurrency as payment for products and services?
I thought cryptocurrency will soon replace fiat and step by step some business institutions and markets will accept cryptocurrency coins as one of the payment mode.
The idea is fine but the problem is in the Centra or Cryptocurrency company that converts them all into fiat so users can use their debit cards. The volatility of the crypto coin is high so whether the user will loose or the coins company.

That's really cool, because most of the crypto debit card I know won't convert the crypto to fiat at the point of purchase, they will convert it at the moment you want to load your card(you preload it with crypto converted to fiat).


Also, ripple has  lower fees, compared to bitcoin's high fees.
I think that as people won't pay high fees for such small transactions such coffee, buying it with an alternate coin could be a good solution.

this means the value of cryptocurrency is still based the fiat money
need very long journey to replaced the fiat money with cryptocurrency,
because the price of crypto is very volatile

It's very nice to see that establishments are slowly accepting crypto payments. However, I agree that it will take a long time before we will no longer need to base prices off of Fiat currency.

so in everything place with mastercard logo can we used to convert to fiat? that good, but sometimes transaction delay from network, like bitcoin, very slow and big fees

I think it is very good, but why do we need such cards, we can cash out our coins and make purchases with credit cards

$12 for a coffee? That is so much for just a coffee, starbucks really had ripp this generation when its less than a $1 during my time. But congrats to Centra I suppose this is one of the marketing strategy for Centra. We may be seeing its price rise later, I hope its not too late the last time ai saw it, the price was less than $2.

Best way to buy beer while watching a basketball game!  With ZCash!   Yes, beer was very expensive!

Yes any place that accepts MasterCard, you can use the Centra card to pay your bill.  Good thing is Centra card and wallet allows you to choose the crypto you want to pay with.  8 Supported crypto currently with Qtum and Bitcoin Cash coming in January.  You can also vote your own favorite crypto to be supported by Centra so you can use it at any store or online!

Why?  Cause we are crypto people and are trying to bring awareness to the non crypto users!!
Also cashing out requires you to send your tokens to specific exchanges to cash out and this cost fees and wait time depending on network congestion. 

Im not a hater but using this master card will remove our privacy concerns,we used crypto to be anonymous in our transactions not to buy some coffee using it,its a centralized card you why? because mastercard is involve with it.

We already have something to purchase coffee with cryptos, it's called Crypterium ;)

its a good news for us who already got involve in crypto, by using a credit card to use crypto to be converted in fiat in an instant is very useful to use everyday, but i think it is only be use for few country that has totally know/accepting crypto currency as a mode of payment, i wish that this kind of credit card may implement too in my country for more convenient to me to use my coins anytime anywhere.

The end goal is definitely P2P payments all over crypto, but we just aren't there yet.  So crypto cards is a short term bridge.  Use a crypto card when you don't care about your transactions.  And then send anonymously with normal crypto methods when you prefer to.

Also think about bringing crytpo awareness.  Some of your family members, coworkers, classmates will never understand crypto or don't know how to use a computer.  Now just imagine if you got your grandma a crypto card, loaded it with $100 in crytpo.  Now she can go spend it.  And she would tell all her other grandma friends that shes using crypto now.  Then your whole neighborhood is interested and the market cap grows from awareness.

Centra didnt disappoint us,the project is in time and its perfect that they support a lot of alts.

Well paid for coffee, so what? Now it is possible for Bitcoin, eth, ltc and other coins to buy various products. And here only coffee ..

Hm, thats the cool side of crypto currency as long as they are active and really adjusting with the needs of human. Wondering when they will start it officially because after using the card like this also government is having lot of problem in my own country. There are so many terminals they don't accept such cards and God knows why is that.

I think I will try out centra, before this I tried TenX which did not work for me and then I switched for bitpay which turned out to be scam for me. So sometimes they start killing your trust about the crypto currency. Anyway will definitely try out the Centra as it looks really good with those valid proofs. But will gather more information before proceeding to it. :-)

that's cool
btw could you tell us in which country you use centra card ??
how about fee transaction?? how it calculated?
for me, fee of BTC transaction is high for now
oh, so many more crypto card already
this will make a new trend

Centra is a good project but there are shitload of competition in this field such as tenx, Monaco, metal, changebank, belugapay etc
Centra really needs to stand out from the competition by offering some kind of unique services. Token value is just starting to appreciate since yesterday but needs alot of growth from now on.

I saw that a lot of people are now talking about Centra, this altcoin has increased by more than 35% during the last few days.


If it uses bitcoin, then it works like any other bitcoin debit card, the only feature about this is that the big bussiness that the other debit card had before is going to disappear (like the crap of wirex)


Yeah, exactly as the other cards, there is nothing new in here only that you use other kind of cryptos and that is nice, but you only can use the card on a PoS location, if they do not have pos, then you are not going to be able to put your PIN, anyway, it is a good card, i will order one.

Currently Centra supports buying anything with the following tokens:  Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Dash, Zcash, & Monero.
Next added token to be used will be Qtum and Bitcoin Cash in January.  There is a community vote every month or few weeks to vote your favorite token in!

The specialty of Centra is to be able to use multi-tokens for purchase and easily add them.

The last successful ICO ive joined is Centra,thanks to this coin it gave me a lot of profits it never fails my expectations.

What is the new thing that they provide? There are already tons of crypto debit cards. TokenCard, Tenx, Monaco Card and a lot more. Then why should I use that one?

You have to know the market is crowded with same products.

The thing that sets Centra apart is they accept multiple crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Dash, Zcash, & Monero.  Next added token to be used will be Qtum and Bitcoin Cash in January)  They have set it up so they can easily add new tokens and they will have ongoing community votes so you can vote your own crypto to be used.

Being able to use multiple crypto lets you skip the step of having to convert your crypto.  Also any crypto you keep in the Centra wallet is insured from network hack and employee theft.  This would have been great on the exchange that closed down recently from a hacker....

It is step forward, not backward, imagine - paying coffee with any crypto.
If you don't like it I don't know what you are doing here.
I guess hatters will always hate.

it is good to find coffee or ant other local business accept  bitcoin
it is great to find coffee or ant other local business accept  altcoin

hope it won't be later kinda 10.000 BTC pizza purchase )

I want to clarify at someone ,  the card can be used if you are not a resident of the European Union?

Centra has acknowledged that this crypto currency has been widely accepted by the world community. He takes this opportunity as a good business potential at future, although there are still many people doubting crypto will be popular and installed in various areas of business. At least Centra calculates price the transaction with the conversion instance to fiat, which it can be more easier to programmed.

Yes, the card can be shipped to US, EU, Asia and be used around the world!!

Ya, that could be the most expensive coffee purchase ever like BTC pizza, lol.  It hurts to think of that pizza and its cost.

Don't worry, ripple has o chance of appreciating like bitcoin.
