MyEtherWallet has added a new feature - the ability to purchase ETH using Visa or MasterCard. What do you think about this?

This is very good news, but the news on Ethereum not affected, as the price was well worth it on the spot

Not sure if it is convenient to buy ether or other crypto currencies using VISA or MasterCard. As far as I know, transactions made using VISA to buy crypto currencies have extremely high fees due to new VISA policy. Not sure if they changed the policy or not, but we had to pay around roughly 10% on fees when buying crypto currencies using VISA. Bank transfers might take few days but still better than instant purchases since lower fees.

i did not know, in my opinion is good news, there are more possibilities of choice, i'll go immediately to see this new feature, it will require kyc to do it? unfortunately this news did not go up the price of the eth

Well actually it is pretty convenient if there are instant transaction in buying Cryptocurrency with your fiat money or by means of using a visa or mastercard it will be pretty awesome doing it even with a bigger fees, I really think even if bank transfers might have lower cost going in a bank in a work day isn't convenient at all and if the price of bitcoin fall down you can have accept right away in buying your crypto faster and not waiting for a few days, Because there might have a price change by the time the transaction settles right?

Oh, if it is a true news, I would be so pleased, because I have hard time buying ethereum in my country on the local exchanges. Previous time I spent 20 minutes in order to buy less than one ETH.

This is really good news. Even if this did not immediately affect the cost of ETH, it still does not say anything. In any case, this will contribute to the strengthening of ETH. I'm still interested in the question that you can only buy ETH, or will it be possible to sell it?

This is one of the best news i have seeing in this year positive developments for crypto holders

Myetherwallet is one of the best online wallet for Ethereum and Erc20 tokens, it has added a new feature which would be an added advantage for investors and will definitely increase its popularity many folds, as many investors want to buy Ethereum with fiat currency.

Cool.
Now it gets easier.

ETH have been traded more frequently than other tokens or coins. Buying ICO tokens are really exploding and this will be an easy way since Mastercard and Visa are international.
Great news and thanks for sharing this information.  ;D I will pass it on to some of my trader friends.  ;D

Well then Ethereum introduced such a function. I think there are no people who do not like this function. Now it is very convenient and you do not need to look for exchange offices or through the exchange. It will be easier for everyone to live on the straight.

I think it is not so good because this way of buying Ethereum is very expansive due to very high fee amount.

I believe that this is a good addition and many will use this service.

This is awesome! Things like that make crypto more and more approachable to people, more userfriendly!

It feels like we have to be cpnsiderate on some views like if a new feature is added we should have wait for six months and up for features stability, there are news that my etherwallet has some glitches when it comes to transaction and in current allowing to buy ethereum using visa and mastercard is very risky. 

Crypto is increasingly entering everyday life. At some point this will be the impetus for growth. I hope so.

This is a good development.  People will now have many options available to them in purchasing ether.  Myetherwallet is always trying to make life of average user of it's platform easy.  I will definitely make use  of opportunities to buy more  ether!

It seems nice indeed. Ether price was slightly  overpriced (485 against 473 in the major exchanges) but still reasonable

Congratulations to the team that developed this feature, this is a great addition which will have positive impact, in fact a rapid one.
Kudos to the team.
Now I can purchase etheruem easily.

Wow! Innovative feature, that to say crypto is growing and evolving day by day. Thumbs up @ myetherwallet team.

a new breakthrough made by mymyetherwallet by adding a visa and mastercard to make it easier for users to buy ethereum, hopefully the future features of myetherwallet increasingly sophisticated again.

The feature is really cool, but they should try and work on their security to tightened their end to make sure no further loop holes will be used to hack people's wallet again. I like my ether wallet, simple and easy to use.

It has given users the convenience of purchasing ETH using credit card. Myetherwallet just want to be with the trend or else they will be left behind.

The fees for buying ETH using VISA or Mastercard are high indeed. But I guess this is a good news for Ethereum. MyEtherWallet is very popular in the world. Many crypto currency holders use this site, including me. Now people is able to instantly buy ETH clicking one button. I think it is convenient and can impact a positive influence on the whole crypto exchange market.

Oh boy!! This sounds great and awesome if they've integrated that. Now let us wait for the others to also follow suit. We have various sectors where cryptocurrencies can be utilized effectively, and it is good news have some major industry operators. Started creatying tm

thanks for the heads up, this is an extremely positive news; the more people have ease of access to Cryptos, the more they will understand the benefits of the Crypto Revolution

over the Central Bank and State controlled fiat system.

I think this is a huge step forward for the MEW , and for all cryptocurrencies in General. Before when I had to buy ETH, I went to the Internet exchange, and there I was taking a huge Commission. Thank you MEW for this event.

I think we should trust on it without any hesitation. Just tell me, how long we are using EtherWallet? Every crypto user use EtherWallet and hold their altcoins in it. This trust is enough to trust on other EtherWallet feature. Etherewallet never dissapoint anyone, so i think it's a good deal. Atleast one time we should try it and see that result.

It is fine and perfectly normal for this to happen.  Look at coinmarketcap-dot-com, they have been doing this for a while for way more coins than just ETH.  This is pretty much a standard and common milestone among various coins that are even very new and might not have that much value.  It is a way of indicating to people that the coin/project is serious about their plans and implementation.

I think that's good news.  It will affect the crypto, for the better.  We need to study what is the minimum purchase and what percentage of this transaction.

this is for sure a good news because in this way you don't have to use exchanges to change fiat to crypto.

This is an nice development. I have been mostly out of crypto space news concerning myetherwallet because of the dns issue they had some time back. Crypto is becoming mainstream as alot of attention is shifiting towards it. What best to do than to make buying crypto easy and fun. Myetherwallet has indeed made crypto easier.

one project making crypto easy is in my signature at the moment. You can check it out and see how it is about. Congratulations to MEW. seems i will go back to using you again.

This news is great for the cryptocurrency market because MEW launches a very useful feature that allows people to buy cryptos with VISA and Mastercard, which will make investing in cryptos easier than ever. In the future great potential MEW will become the largest and most popular e-wallet in the world!

I think that this is a useful function and many will use it if you do not take a large percentage of input and output of money.

Oh really good news for all MEW users i will open my MEW wallet to check about your news for the improvements of mew feature platform😀😀😀 this time i always heard good news for the crypto hope people do not make any negative article lets celebrate the continuing of good news in the cryptocurrency.

Basically to the mass understanding, its not a feature enabled by MEW and MEW will not be taking any responsibility for loss of payments or crypto. They are partnered with Simplex which will allow the transactions of buying ETH through credit cards and every transaction will be responsibility of Simplex.

It is really necessary to understand the difference here.  :)

If this is the case, then it will be much more convenient and faster to use MEW and without unnecessary problems.

This is very convenient and removes unnecessary intermediaries in the form of exchangers, for example, when you need to buy a little for the transaction. In general, the positive trend and development

This is really good news. In any case, this will contribute to the strengthening of ETH. Myetherwallet always tries to make the life of the average user of the platform easy. I will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to buy more ether !. It is now very convenient and I do not need to look for an exchange office or through an exchange.

I think that this is a very large-scale news for the entire crypto currency market, which for some reason did not affect the price of Ethereum and other altcoins. Let's hope that people now will be easier to enter into the crypt.

Cant wait for mobile wallet to come out .Beta is on the way. Its the safest wallet for me after ledger and i believe it will stay forever among the best and safest wallets.
I cant remember any hacked stuff on the website

This is very good news, I have some ETH and I want to sell it, waiting for green signal ;D

That will be much convenient to the users. Especially this is very good when you want tot buy some little amount of ETH for transactional purposes.

Indeed. Its a good development, seeing Myetherwallet accepting from famous financial company. Meaning more digital cash / fiat is coming to crypto because of this new innovation. It will help more adaption of crypto and more people will reach and will join because of this new feats.

I think the impact that MEW has on adding features can be able to buy ETH using visa or mastercard very good, which makes it easy for people to buy crypto.
but what I want to know, has anyone ever tried this feature?

This is very good news but I think that will make eth more stronger in the market. I hope others will also follow the same.

This is indeed a very good news. It will be much more easier for the customers out there that are still lacks knowledge in making market exchange, as for their easier way, they can only purchase ethereum using their visa or mastercard. And also it is less hassle.

As technology grows and extends to many forms of payment, I think that is also a good thing, more convenient for those who use it.

Great option, hope that with this good news ETH price will be increase and recover the peak price in past year. With this way, the investor will avoide to loose the fee when tranfer from token to USD currency

This is good news, there will be an additional opportunity for transferring Fiat into crypto-currencies. It would be still good if they made it possible to output ETH to the same cards.

It's a very good development indeed. I just visit the swap tab of MyEtherWallet to see the new feature and I like what I saw. You can buy ether by using Mastercard or Visa. And i can just swap my ether to bitcoin which is good. Btw i just knew it yesterday =)

They should fix the 2fa stuff on their platforms,  a wallet that is not that secure is not worth investing in,  they've got to do more about their wallet because it's too vulnerable for hacking,  Let them add this feature rather than The visa or MasterCard

This is good news, even though it did not affect Ethereum price growth in any way, and the fact that the cost of a transaction with Visa or Mastercard is likely to be quite large. I think this is good news as cryptocurrencies are getting closer to conventional Fiat funds. Cryptocurrency becomes more accessible.

I think the world is growing. Serves us better

Wao, this  is a very good news and great development for ethereum but I think the fees to be paid for this transactions will be high but nevertheless, it is a good development for crypto and sooner with more advancement, it will become global.

Myetherwallet is a great ethereum wallet.  It is very comprehensive and full of many features already,  now that fiat options of card is added to it,  we can expect more users using Mew.

Wow is this for real? I don't know that they will do this. They are starting to add another feature.
Maybe they will also add some new feature in the future and they will start to create their own integration for an exchange.
I checked some news and it seems that only few articles was created.

That's good news, but unfortunately nothing special anymore. Nevertheless, I am pleased that mew has a new option to buy Ethereum.  :)

well, the guys from the MEW team do not stand in one place, the desire to earn leads and to such consequences Smiley I heard that soon there will be an application on the smartphone with a purse, that's really a great and useful news

They should work on their security first and probably add 2FA to their wallet, just take a look how many people have fallen to various phishing scams because it is very easy to clone site. 
That is what they are supposed to work on, today is very easy to purchase ethereum so it is not so big news.

That's convenient for everyone.

This is a very great news as the most used ETH wallet can now purchase ETH directly via Visa and Mastercard, now buying ETH thru fiat currency is never been easy. I hope as soon the overall market sentiments change, we can see a drastic increase in demand as well as price of Ethereum.

Yes I read lately many people claiming to have their etherdelta accounts hacked. Those users have to put the site in their favourite to avoid phishing attempts...
Now for the purchase of ether with visa and mastercard payments, this is a good news definitely  :)
