Bitcoin Forum

Hello there,

It's not long that I get to know about crypto currency. At first, I heard the name "Bitcoin" before I get the idea of crypto currency. It's been growing ever since it's born. Now there's lot of crypto currencies around the world.
Well, what I want is a master card or something similar to it, which I can use to maintain my online money. I’m not sure if it’s possible cause debit cards or credit cards or master cards or visa cards…. Every single one of them are sealed with my name on it. I mean these cards always carry its user identity. But I don’t want my identity with my online money. That’s the whole point of crypto currency right?

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/butler-live-cryptocurrency-card-for-btc-eth-ltc-money-cards#/

This card could be my solution but would you trust it? Kind of like it already since I don’t have to open my computer everytime I want to keep me posted about my online money.

So, what's the point of this card?

It says it's not a payment card. So we can't make transactions.

It's a wallet? It's to be able to check our balances? We can do that with mobile apps! Why wouldn't we want to do that with a mobile app?

I just don't understand why I'd ever need one of these things.

Well, all of the cards that has carrying money will needing and requiring to get your identity. If you need to have a card that is similar to cryptocurrency that has an anonymous owners, You will failed to search for it. It's better to have your Bitcoin wallet or coins.ph wallet and store all your balances on that account. All you need is to verify your account and you must have a reliable internet connection in order for you to cash out or use your bitcoin wallet in some transactions.

I honestly think that this might be something worth looking into. especially now that cryptocurrency are progressing outward and outward and more people are investing on it. Having it in a card would be something like an atm or a debit even a credit card if given some research.

In the form of a card can act your mobile phone. You can pa with qr codes, check your balance, check recieved payments. If i understand what you want from it

I think it is still good that crypto currency is in the card for more convenience to check balance as well to withdraw earnings.

There have been tons of harassments throughout recent months. A card wouldn't make this situation any better since all of your crypto assets would be easily accessible. I mean it would be much easier to hack your card than your online wallet. Imho

For the coming two years I personally think a card will work fine to be able to spend your crypto currencies.
Sure QR codes are much easier and a lot of banks are already looking into it, but for it to be adopted by the mainstream it will still take some time. The western part of the world will probably adapt it within two years, rest of the world maybe slower.

But for now cards will work fine, check out TenX or Monaco if you are interested in crypto payment cards.

I have heard something like that to other coin, and there are starting it now. Some of that will have that kind of project, we just have to wait and see.

you want your name on all cards, but you do not want people to know your identity, how do people believe in the plan you created? you make a card for payment, of course you must have a platform to transact, if people use cards for payment

if I look, you are more concerned with a card in an ease of doing anything. but in fact bitcoin has designed and made everything easy, especially for payments in this world.

There are many ICO and altcoin projects on the platform but almost no one accepts it for making payments.

I think all of this will be proven and we, will no longer be looking for the pre-existing freedoms on that's card ....

Maybe you will eventually develop the card you mean ,,, we also hope that the card kerdit about digital currency held in every particular area

it's better if it can be sync with your online wallet so whenever you have balance on your online wallet, you can withdraw it thru that card. maybe you first need to convert btc to your currency before withdrawing.

Anyone know the cards for the ethereum? Just found a lot of cards for bitcoin, and not for another cryptocurrency

It is necessary to make bitcoin as user friendly as possible
because even today only a handful people know fully about
bitcoin.

The use of a card makes it easier to spend your bitcoins
without having to go through a lot of channels in order
to withdraw into fiat.

Yeah ctr ( centra tech ) has all the main currencies on there card including ethereum and a easy to use mobile version of it too. It is quite a recnet product but i think they just started shipping there cards to customers. You need CTR tokens to purchase the card and pay the fees on it which are for sale on Binance and cryptopia exchanges. You can look on there website for more information in regards to this. https://www.centra.tech/centra-card/

Monaco and Dash have a project related to your need. Where you can store your coins and spend without writing your name in it as I know.

Well, bitcoin debit cards are nothing new on the market. There are several providers that offer such services like Xapo, Advcash, Wirex etc. They are usualy Visa or Master cards but credit cards are still not available, only debit. The advantage is that you can spend your bitcoins in the shops like with any other card orr withdraw the cash at the ATM .
But I'm not sure I understud what is the actual idea of the project that has been introduced here so I would like more details. But I'd like to see bitcoin cards to be developed further.

That does't make sense at all, this card is extremely useless for cryptocurrency users, i mean why would we use it if we can't make payments or transactions? To only check the balance?. We can do whatever we can with our smart phone wallets and they are more convenient and safe.

far as i know, that card is only to show some bitcoins or just for gifting purposes.


in the forum there were some users who were talking about this feature, if you just  could create a card and load more than 0.50 bitcoins in there (just an example)

but it has the same function as a paper wallet, just loading a private key + public address in the blockchain, and you can claim them on the internet, so it doesnt offer anything new in here.

It is a wonderful idea to give some investors assurance that somehow there is a physical substance that represents their ownership.
Through the cards that support cryptocurrency they access in all commercial trasaction fast and smooth without using papers and internet connection; with this it wll be more convenient to the public.

This card will not allow you to pay as much as I know. It is a cryptocurrency which is used for easy tracking. This is a wealth of huge resources. It is used as online wallet. There are many exchanges in the world which provide credit cards and accept money from cryptoconces.

They are virtually lots of company that offers crypto master card service in which you fund the account with crypto currency but can withdraw fiat from any ATM around the world,  an example of this platform is coinsbank,  you can register with them then apply for a no name master card which you can use in the purchase of goods and services,  and also make withdrawal in any part of the world.

Just don't forget that most of the bitcoin debit card were shut down, because the issuer (WaveCrest) had not fullfilled VISA's expectations so VISA has banned all the cards, issued by WaveCrest. This means that XAPO and the others are not able to provide the debit cards at the moment. There are only a few of the debit cards available still, but you should have a detailed identification in order to be able to use that card.
As banks (and VISA and MasterCard) is (understandably) against bitcoin, I can't see any positive news in connection with the bitcoin debit cards in the near future, unfortunately.

Since recently, I use the digital purse Veb-money. This purse was previously used to transfer money converted from crypto currency into fiat and then to withdraw it to a bank card. However, recently it was introduced the possibility of direct transfer to this wallet of bitcoins with further transfer to local money. After the first transaction in it bits of bitcoin, after confirming the transaction, I saw that in the course of an hour my bitcoin was moved to an unknown address and was scared. But then it turned out that my bitcoin appears in the purse. Later, I transferred some of the money directly from my bitcoin to local money. That is, it turns out that in the purse actually already there is no bitcoin, but I have the right to dispose of a similar amount in bitcoin. In principle, it is quite profitable. There may also be physical debit cards. They will also have the equivalent of bitcoin, and you can pay for the goods at the expense of bitcoin in local currency, that is, some part of bitcoin is removed from the account, but the calculation goes to fiat.

if that card ever exists, i would buy it immediately!

well, maybe but your card is the apps on ur smartphone

Interesting project. But according to site:

[BUTLER is NOT a PAYMENT CARD, BUTLER keeps or needs no personal data or any other type of private information]

Amazing if true, but I'm wondering how this is possible...in the USA you can't get a reloadable debit card without very serious KYC. How is the team going to get around that with this??

It might be possible to have an ATM like card to be a balance checker. It will make it easier to have a transaction like cashing-in and withdrawing your money. But, the mobile applications can do it, right? If you want to check your balance, you can use your online wallet. Like MEW, Coins.ph and more. If you want to withdraw money from it, you can have it in your app. It still won't solve the security issues though. Because like the ATM cards, it can be duplicated in the machine that you will put it into. 

I think card is obsolete, nowaday you can pay with applepay or other mobile based payment apps.
So in the future I believe that apps would be the better solution and is being developed by many startups

applepay or any other mobile based payment would still require a credit card before you can use it. therfore those are still useless. what we really need is a single payment method just like what we have on cryptos . Cryptocurrency in a card is i think possible and i think itll work just like a credit card but of course it will still requires an internet connection in order for transaction to be processe via blockchain.

Yet this is still pretty useful if you are a person that always on the go, whether you shop or dine , you can just always swipe your crypto card elsewhere and there no need for you to open up your phone or any other apps/wallet in order to pay or withdraw your crypto coins.

it is a great idea to have a card in crypto but i think this one is have to much process to do that maybe in the future it will exist.but for now we must do it in our mobile application

Personally, I prefer using my smartphone when making transactions, being able to use your smartphone in transactions makes more transactions convinient, and i also think that some time in future, smartphones will be used instead of cards when transacting, having your different cards digitally in your smartphone is the most ideal rather that having different cards inside your pocket. So to put it simply, storing my bitcoins on my virtual wallet and being able to check my balance, make transactions using my smartphone is the most ideal for me and also for the most of the peoples too.

I think in the near future there will be.  The demand for and use of crypto is growing and is responding very well.  with a card to pay crypto currency without using smart phone.  Really is a great thing

If you think about it if we push through with the cryptocurrency in our forms of payment having a card would not be helping it as that would just be something that would keep us from it as it also acts as a sort of digital transaction. But what we can do is have an access key to us where it acts as a key to our wallet and this would be the card that you might be referring to that everytime there is a transaction we scan it to have the payment be made digitally

cryptocurrency does not need a card. Basically cryptocurrency is called digital currency and is not necessary in the presence of cards. Better to use scanning system via smartphone

I think there will be one when everything goes fine in the future. Verge is trying to do it. Let's just support the community in order for it to happen.

If the card is only good for checking balances, what good is it. If it does more than that then its dangerous to carry it around. I think the reason why we are into crypto currency is because we want something that cannot be taken from us physically. And yes wedo want anonymty, but what good is a card if it gets lost or stolen and found by a stranger to whom do we return it to? So what good is this card for, really?

Yeah that's make sense, but without apps, how can user sign the transaction? If privkey embedded into the card then it's really not secure. User still need apps to sign the transaction internally and only transmit hashed messages/transactions.

Very well. If you want to use crypto currency credit card as like Bitcoin credit card or debit card. If you live in USA you can get a bitcoin debit or credit card because my brother live in USA and they have a bitcoin debit card and he always use this card for any kind of payment as like shopping, Hotel bill, petrol pump and any kind of payment. In this online industry too many company provide crypto currency MasterCard so you can use any type of crypto currency card.

Name on the card for the cryptos may be seen as uncomfortable but even lots of ICO ask kyc for their bounties. The privacy freedom in the cryptos has been damaged by the pressure of the regulations i think.

The Bitwala plastic card is a popular choice among European bitcoins that use payments in euros (EUR). The card is issued by Mychoice and a bank called Wavecrest Holdings Ltd .. The commission fee for the transaction is 0.5%; the company offers both virtual and physical maps. The fee for withdrawing funds from the ATM is EUR 2.25, and all purchases on PoS terminals are carried out without commission. Debit cards Bitwala can be used wherever Visa is accepted. The card issue costs 8.00 euros, and the virtual card - 2.00 euros.

there are many project that makes project like this, making a debit card using cryptocurrencies network, i think it good for the cryptocurrencies holder because they can use the cryptocurerencies in offline stores with their debit card, and we dont need to exchang it first into real money

In this online market there are too many virtual crypto currency card if you want to need virtual card so you can check entropay. Entropay is a virtual card and very low transaction fees so you can use virtual MasterCard. If you live in Canada you can use Bitcoin MasterCard and you can withdraw money from ATM booth.

Just a bitcoin store, I can trust it if its management is reputable

Although Ten X isn’t the first player on the scene, it is currently one of the most talked about names. Pulling 80 million in their 2017 ICO, the
Singaporean-based team has been successful so far for multiple reasons.Ten X had a slick marketing campaign. Short promotional videos showed team members using the Ten X card to buy coffee and order pizza. These illustrated the ease and convenience of using the card in daily life.Ten X location, Singapore, is more important than it seems. Singapore is a tech and startup hub, friendly towards cryptocurrencies so far. The team has thrived there, launching a successful working prototype per-ICO. Supporting a wide range of currencies and boasting low fees, Ten X is the name to beat for now.

it is currently to access bitcoin must use the computer and online using the Internet network, but in the future as its development will appear in the credit card system I am sure with it

You want to have a card, but do you want the card to be anonymous? It's a little strange, do not you think so?))

this will be superior if it can be synchronized into the wallet online, then each time you have the funds of each wallet online itself, then you can withdraw the money through the card or maybe you have to convert btc into the currency before the withdrawal.

I will get on board with a crypto card once it's being accepted at many retailers as a valid payment source, like Visa and Mastercard. Until regional adoption comes our way, its a waste of time and effort.

I think it takes a long time to apply this card as a bank card.

Yeah and there must be a strong regulations about this thing because scammers can easily do their job now since a lot of frauds in a world of cards. Well, I know this thing will come but we need more time and strong security to protect our wallet. Cryptocurrency will continue to develop new technology in the future.

i think you are asking for wallets and i must say you should use hardware wallets.

I hope so
maybe someday!

BUTLER LIVE Cryptocurrency CARD ok, well it's of no doubt that the cryptocurrency world is getting better and better everyday, but this cryptocurrency card idea seems not to be clear exactly on the advantage. from that video https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/butler-live-cryptocurrency-card-for-btc-eth-ltc-money-cards#/ it was not shown how to use the card because am quite sure that it's not on Automated Teller Machine (ATM).

I actually think that this card ideas foils the purpose of a cryptocurrency. This card would probably require your personal information or identity which in cryptocurrency that you can stay anonymous. Additionally, isn’t it risky to make your cryptos accessible by card? We all know that card skimming is one of the problems of the bank and it’s users, so why even risk?

It does not exist because the card is very useless for crypto currency users. Why we will use it if we can not make a payment or transaction just to check the balance. We can do anything we can with our smart phone wallets and they are very comfortable and secure with their own finances. 8)

I like this, sounds really convenient and would establish crypto more for it's intended usage as a currency. It will also be a step closer to proving that crypto can be used just as effectively as money can with just a few minor tweaks here and there to it  ;D

in the near future everything will become possible but it is not exactly the best way to invest in crypto projects as I do, I invest in Socratus and get two more than Bitcoin

I've heard that MasterCard considering issuance of special cryptocurrency cards)

Using crypto card either debit cards, credit cards, master cards, visa card will be an advantage to the cryptocurrency world but even without all this stuff bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency platform has made online payment services very easy like never before. Come to think of it, when PayPal was the only means of online payment I believe 90% of people doing online business today wouldn't have qualified to do that. God bless Satoshi Nakamoto for founding this means to make everything better I believe very soon all this things will be in place.

Wow, I have never thought like this before. But thats a great idea. If my identity is stored in a card and if I can use them for an security code and if the money would be secured then that will be fantastic.

even if the ideas and purposes of these cards will foil cryptocurrency we better not use them, or we should think about them more, so most of the with the cards are widely used with banks, so do not we easy to use the card in cryptocurrency we, if that would make it risky, better do some research before using it.

I can't agree with such attitude. Cryptocurrency cards are very convenient and make use of Bitcoin and other supported cryptocurrencies easier and more popular. And this has nothing to do with banks and there ia no reason to have doubts.
I think crypto debit cards are the future for world wide use of cryptocurrencies. This area will only grow and develope further and I expect for card providers to get even more involved in crypto.

If you want, you can look at the Revolut card, which offer the possibility to buy selected cryptos with its app. It is a nice idea to convert your fiat into crypto and speculate with the price. Unfortunately, you cannot yet deposit your cryto in there, but I think it is only a matter of time. It could be a very good service indeed.

Everybody is hyping cards... Regular fiat debit and credit cards will be replaced by mobile phones, it's possible for most of the cards of VISA and MasterCard to digitalize the card itself into a banking app and you can use it to pay at a contactless POS terminal in every shop, by using the phone's NFC connection (like you can use a PayPass card at a contactless terminal).
Even Apple has the ApplePay, which is the same, you can use the iPhone's NFC connection to pay at a contactless terminal around the globe...
So if it's possible to use NFC to make a payment with a mobile phone, why don't bitcoin wallets utilize this? You won't need to use QR codes, etc., just to start the wallet and use the NFC to pay... this should be the way forward, in my opinion. Also, you can use the NFC between two mobile phones, if you want to make a transaction peer to peer...

I do not understand what you said, but at least it is a good technology to all of us who are in this Forum for the future of cryptocurrency.

it is good that the card is more simple it is stored in your smartphone so we can check our balance anytime if you want, but if the card is the same as his wallet offline then it is better to save the card.

Cool idea! Looking forward to  see the real card of Crypto currency.

I don't think these cards are unnecessary now as it can't do anything not even pay or check the balnace.It will be more practical if a mobile app would be used and it can be more efficient.

Maybe in a few years it can be real but in general it is not good idea. Criminals and government's will create some systems for stealing your data. It must be only digital money.

Well, I agree. Credit and Debit cards are only for fiats or real money. In the case of cryptocurrency, I think that we should try to have a good hardware wallet in able for us to secure our bitcoins and cryptos properly. But, the idea of having cards in cryptocurrency is not advisable because if the card is stolen, the snatcher will easily waste and use the balance inside the card.

I think the cryptocurrency will over its distinction because all transactions that it occurs are in the used of internet and online world,
if hey allowed physical currency then it will losses it sense of uniqueness.

I think the idea is amazing. being able to make simple transactions with cryptocurrencies. But i dont its realistic because not many people are up to date on crypto and how it works.  to some it may work  but to most it will only be useless

today there are many innovations from crypto about the world of finance or like banking. yes, there are some ico's issuing debit card products. but some who have made it out and success suddenly become scam, like centra. and to date I have not found the correct one effectively according to the white paper and the scenario.

I think it's not a good for cryptocurency shape in a card, whenever the digital technology is the most popular now a days. almost many people used to network.

Introducing the concept of cards may not exactly be decentralisation as the user will then be compelled to use te card only when he can find  same. without a PoS or exchange store, the card not the currency may be useless. When crypto grows and there are more acceptable channels then that may be reality

It's not really a new concept, as there have been companies that have issued debit cards that draw from a BTC account. Just like how you can get a Paypal debit card. I remember Xapo had one many years ago. Maybe 2013-2014 era? Either way it's been a thing for a while now.

I don't think such a card is needed in the future. A mobile phone manufacturer has made a mobile phone with encrypted software, and in the future people will be able to complete the encrypted payment by holding their own mobile phones and opening the APP.

Exactly, but I haven't really heard or seen one that has really become mainstream and has really become successful.

Seems like a promotional post.
Identity with online payments in our economics is something that cant be taken away.
And it is not with no reason, we need regulations to prevent money laundering and funds being sent to seriously damaged people who can harm others.

There's quite a few cryptocurrencies in a card, well technically not a card but your mobile device for contactless. These don't work as you might expect though, as they actually only allow you to automatically convert your BTC or crypto to cash at the point of sale, rather than directly allowing the retailer to accept BTC, which is what we really need.

Is this card can be used like ATM or debit for a payment? I think this card isn’t very useful for us because we access the wallet through the mobile application but I think it’s good because it’s still in development stage for cryptocurrency but isn’t very useful for some people who comfortable with hardware or online wallet.

Yes it is possible. The increasing ability to pay for products and services using cryptocurrency debit cards is a physical representation of the rise in crypto popularity. However, they are still relatively rare and at times complex; with so many cryptocurrencies available in conjunction with market volatility, it can be difficult for traders to know how best to utilize the contents of their cryptowallets when making purchases.

Crypto currency in card can be a better option but before accept this card we need to understand this card can give more facility then our current bitcoin wallet like less transaction fees, use it without internet connections i think these card necessary for bitcoin ATM also it can be debit or credit card, if these card for only check our crypto balances then no use of this card. 

I have recently heard that Mastercard has a similar initiative. They have found a method to connect your cryptos with fiat money. so, you will have an opportunity to use your card and pay in cryptos but all the transactions will be conducted on the fiat money rails.

Cryptocurrency don't need a card. Crypto itself can be used on your phone. Your wallet is on your control.
I saw many coin projects promise there will be a card in their project, but they have not delivered their promise now.
Without card, cryptocurrency still will be used by many peoples and investors.

I do not think we still need card. Our wallet is already enough. We have just to use our phone or PC to check our online money. Card can be lost or stolen by other people. It will be dangerous.

Crypto in a card - it's new but it's unbelievable because it's just on the internet

It can not work, because the owner of an anonymous bitcoin. In contrast to the real card ownership where the identity required by the bank. Therefore bitcoin is stored in a wallet consisting of a series of codes, only to be opened by the owner. For obvious security factor more secured bitcoin.

Crypto currency in a card that a good news. As long as there are ATM's its useful.

Now a days card are old fashion. People are now depends on networks. Crypto App will be helpful.

Have you heard about TenX? As far as I know it is their main goal to store your cryptos on a card.

I think that is something that is difficult to implement, because cryptocurrencies are anonymous while cards have ownership identities. However, for the future it is not impossible because innovation in the digital world takes place very quickly.

Only government regulations and implementation are relevant for the cryptocurrency application on the card, as easy as carrying an identity card in a pants pocket

It is a good idea to guarantee investors that there is somehow physical substance that represents their ownership.
Through cards that support cryptocurrency, they access all commercial transactions quickly.

I was also thinking about this topic, if the cryptocurrency would be in a card like atm and other smart cards then the use of cryptocurrency will become more reliable as most of the purchases and transaction will be done even in slow internet areas and that will be also a good advertising for cryptocurrency.

There is your name on every card but you don’t want your identity exposed to everyone is very difficult, because basically every card made is using your own identity inputted in database you register to make the card. The link about the card you provide for now isn’t useful because the card isn’t able for transactions yet, if just for wallet everyone would already have a hardware or online wallet.

Digital currencies are already around the world, but for cards such as credit cards and others, the whole world is not available in certain areas. in the area also not necessarily approved by the country

I believe this will be demonstrated and we, will never again be searching for the prior flexibilities on that is card

You only need a smartphone to manage your bitcoin practically. You don't need master card!!!. Bring many things is not convenient, just bring your smartphone and then you have anything you need include bitcoin.

right now there are many project that combine the physic card with the bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, with their platform you can use the bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from your debit card, visa, or mastercard directly. this is an innovation to use the cryptocurrencies in all merchant In the world

Maybe this card is still in development because it cannot be used for transactions and used as a wallet like mobile applications that already exist today.

If it does more then its dangerous to carry it around. I think the reason why we become coding currencies is because we want something that can not be taken from us physically. These things do not work as you expect, although when they really only allow you to automatically convert your BTC or crypto to cash at point-of-sale

i'm using wirex. only downsite of that card is you need to exchange your btc to usd/euro before you can use it. i'm waiting for my tenx card. wich does the exchange from btc to euro the moment that you pay.
there are advantages to both system.
in a bear market wirex is the way to go. but when in a bull run its nice to spend mone and he next they have more because the price went up

I don’t have problem later on using a card where i can see my earnings in crypto and use them like debit cards or credit cards. My issue is who will handle my earnings if i have diffetent cryptos? At this point in time this is what digital wallets does. If i can transact things with digital wallet, why do i need card? When in fact, cards also need the online transactions.

We all know that crypto currencies are very much popular and successful currency among all the forms available in the market and obviously crypto currencies are superior to all the currencies and obviously its increasing use are threat to other Fiat currencies and people are finding bitcoin as more trustworthy than other currencies because all the crypto currencies available in the digital form and its transactions provides us the most safest and confidential transactions and I don’t think bitcoin in card could be useful.

A bitcoin debit card would be the best option...
Too bad WageCan has disappeared now.

You are spot on, the point of crypto is to get rid of physical cards and passbooks.

Not a great idea or concept for me, simply because if you have been issued a card then the personal identity is a requirement to get a card and from that your identity is not a private anymore, hence a card has a name, address and the account number. And I think its not convenient anymore regardless of the thin and small surface of it, maybe a mobile phone is enough for me and the applications to access to your accounts and mobile wallets.

The thing is it will be like a fiat if it happens to be in a card. The main medium in doing transactions for crypto is internet and a gadget therefore the essence will be lost if it happens. It will seems that it is like a fiat. Bitcoin has its own unique system therefore we should love what it has and accept all the improvements it will do. Bitcoin will help us change for the better.

I headed that MasterCard accepted to cooperate with cryptocurrency.
All the crypto users will be able to exchange crypto to fiat and pay with it using MasterCard.
I can be wrong, but I am totally sure that MasterCard is not against it

Its quite good id the cryptocurrency is in the card because its not difficult to cash out/ in our coins to different wallets, we can put are coins in cards and we can withdraw it.

Well, in principle, so it will be. Everyone will use cards in the future .. it is impossible to use the crypt as ordinary money

Crypto currency and maps in my opinion are incompatible concepts. After all, this card already means that it belongs to someone. And the essence of the crypto currency is that no one knows the owner of this money. And the crypto currency is not controlled by anyone. Decentralization.

I think it is a good way to store a cryptocurrency in a card though it is more easy to carry and doesn't needed any internet connection to be used. In the other hand it is also very dangerous as it may be loss and has  the potential to be destroyed and stolen by someone. I don't think it may work but it is really a good idea for me but more risky in some other way.

If only for wallets, people will have a hardware or wallet online. No regional approval is required. I believe this will be proven and we will never seek previous flexibility on that card

Three things that i see in your question:
1. If you want a cryptocurrency card, you’ll be needing a bank or company that manages all your crypto account and definitely your name will be on it. That’s a policy in many cards today.

2. It seems there are some companies establishing ATM cards for crypto, i just don’t know if its really working now. I’ve seen this in some campaign projects.

3.Cryptocurrency has always been digital in its use. Whether by investment or purchase. You manage your digital money through Web wallet where you can do your transaction through internet and mobile phone.

For me, I’m doing fine with my web wallet and it works well for me without a card.

Maybe OP just wanted to have physical appearance of cryptocurrency lol

Same as i am asking whats the sense of this card if there will have no functionality at all

And besides we are hiding our personalities behind the decentralization and anonymity of cryptocurrency and having this physical object will only lead us for being in a world of bankers just like bank passbook or atm cards,.

So personally i hate the idea

Right now there are a lot of projects combining physical cards with bitcoin and other electronic money. With their platform, you can use bitcoin and other electronic money from your debit, visa or mastercard. you directly. If it has more then its dangerous to carry it around. These things do not work as you would expect, though when they really only allow you to automatically convert your BTC or crypto into cash at point of sale. I'm waiting for my tenx card. It has advantages for both systems but when in a bull it runs fine to spend money and the next they have more because the price has increased. At this point in time this is what digital wallet does. As a matter of fact, the card also needs to be online. WageCan too bad has disappeared now.

Non-cash payments have become a popular payment method in many developed countries around the world. Electronic payments encouraged by these payment activities leave an electronic trail that the authorities It can be easily checked and monitored. People won't have to go to the bank to withdraw money, keep money and be able to pay anywhere with just a phone. Trading is easier and faster, contributing to stimulating trade. Assuring the safety of property as well as human life.

Yes, I think having card is good but having a mobile app that allow you to pay with qr is enough, this app also might get you updated on your balance and recieved transaction. Having mobile phone is same as having a card, for me having mobile app offers more featurs that the card.
The concern with that cARD is the security of your funds, it should be in no way to be scammed. I know an app (HODLER wallet its available in play store)that offers instant payment and can hold multi coin in just one secure and open source wallet. On my opinion, its better to have a secure mobile application than having a card.

Is there any update about what had happen to this project?Love to hear if there’s any because i would be happy having this as an souvenir for being cryptonians..but just by that and I don’t want any other option using this since this is very critical to put on our funds in a physical card.because hackers are even great in hacking digital so what more if its on physical features

i agree because easy access of cashing out and cashing in would mean a rapid adoption of cryptocurrencies provided there is enough speed for micropayments, the only holdback on this is intervention of third party such as govt etc.

A good idea and realistic enough to be implemented, because in some countries there are already bitcoin ATMs, so the system only has to be integrated so that the security factors of bitcoin in the card cannot be used if the card is lost or stolen.

In my opinion, card can be so convenient for for to use every time but it can distract the anonymity of bitcoin , that information about your account can be revealed and hacker will take it

yes I agree, cards are outdated and not suitable for crypto, crypto is a digital coin that must be supported by more sophisticated applications than cards, and I am sure that in the future there will be good applications suitable for crypto.

Cash has been replaced by cards but in some countries like china cards are being replaced with qr codes scanned in via a mobile. This is where bitcoin payments are going to be done in future

someday it can happen with bitcoin with a card if indeed it is needed but for now the legality problem is very necessary crypto currency will develop along with the times and technology of course

a card for using crypto? Did I understand correctly? If so, I don’t think I’d be in favor of it. I mean, isn’t the purpose of crypto for us to become a cashless/cardless society? Having tin physical form defeats its purpose, don’t you think?

OP tried to get things complicated.
First, he want to use debit and credit cards that of course requires us to verify our identity but on a contrary he don't want to reveal his identity. So how come? It will be better to just don't use these cards and remain anonymous for your entire life.
Sometimes, convenience need some sacrifices.

If using a card then the identity is revealed, this is very contrary to colleagues or many pros and cons, certainly complicated.
Leaving crypto running properly and remaining anonymous, this feels comfortable.

exactly, the celphone itself becomes the card,

Actually for now bitcoin payment can do with qr code, because some wallet online have featured to read address via qr codes. If it can be used by a lot of merchant, i think card is not used again

That's right, enough with the QR code on the cellphone.
For what are the cards created, if there are more sophisticated tools?

Just like banks if a central authority starts making master cards for bitcoin and there will be a network of ATM machines who will operate the whole cards system so it will be useful for the whole world and this is possible due to blockchain technology if this technology is connected with the banks then through banks infrastructure they will make  strategies to use their ATM through out the countries.

That would be wise, but for me, I think those kinds of system that enables one to use a card probably is hackable. However, it is coming from me from a non-technical standpoint. I just think that some of our banking systems are hackable and I think cryptocurrency in a card is no exception.

card? people are now more interested in carrying their cellphones anywhere than carrying an atm card for example, this is a new system that wants efficiency, I think the cellphone is enough, however the card will not guarantee security, there is no guarantee that the card will not be lost or the data is taken, I think technology is enough now, if by creating a card we will back one step, you know to pay, withdraw money and transactions now people have used cellphones, few have used cards. all of them are simple why should they be complicated again
 

I think it is possible, this card can contains your private keys but it isn't safe because someone can steal your private keys and all your money.

Bitcoin and Bitcoin Wallet basically to make it easier for each user to transact, until now bitcoin transactions can be done anywhere and anytime provided we are still connected to the internet. Then, for what we trouble ourselves by making a card unless we cannot access the internet may be the card you are referring to can be used.


Happy 10th Birthday of Bitcoin. Thank you for being a part of my life.

PumaPay aims  to empower merchants by combining the potential of the Blockchain with the flexibility and scalability of credit cards, thus making it possible to accommodate day-to-day payment scenarios on the Blockchain, while facilitating the use of cryptocurrencies in daily life.

Check out the PumaPay project:

Digital currency should stay digital for it has an advantage of being pick pocket by someone and can use it anytime we want without being hassled of searching a machine for a card. 

Just as fraudsters can steal them from your wallet, if it isn't a hardware wallet, but MEW. In addition, the bank that issued this card must control payments on this card and have enough degrees of control and protection to save customers money.

it looks like it can happen and it requires a very sophisticated chip technology because this bitcoin transaction will require very sophisticated technology to be used in several places.

I don't think it will be that easy since we all know that to be able to transact a Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies, you will be needing an internet connection. Just imagine a card that is connected to the internet, it is possible but still, online wallet is better.

If the purpose of this card is to be able their users to transact Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies offline, I guess it is good but I don't know how will they be able to do that since that is hard. The idea of your Bitcoin is not really in your wallet and we can just access them on the internet makes it more harder. There is also an offline transaction of Bitcoin in Electrum so I think it is a possibility but it is so hard.

I think that this cryptocurrency card would have a good benefits to the card owner, although prices varies from time to time but still every crypto enthusiast hoping for the good benefit of having cryptocurrency in a card. I hope the developer of this idea would take after the fraudsters and scammers.

I believe the are a good number of bitcoin ATM all over the world today and at that this machine will definitely be using a card in the form of an ATM card for it transactions, and taking about the identity the card may not possibly carry your name or image but with your wallet address I think that will do. The world is moving from analog to digital and bitcoin is the solutions to all financial struggle so having an ATM will be one of the best option for us.

In my opinion , saving funds in a  card is opposite of cryptocurrency nature. Cryptocurrency needs only internet, nothing else. Why should i use card instead of mobile?

I do not understand what you mean, it is a card but not disclose information? . I think we can use a wallet on a cellphone instead of a wallet on a computer today, having to carry your computer all the time just by using a wallet in your phone to trade it and convert it. Your fiat and transfer it immediately to your bank card, it is more convenient and less costly as we send bitcoin to the card to fiat exchange at the ATM it's convenient but the cost is too high

Do you think it's dangerous when all the money is in the same card, or do you know that the phone you're holding in your hand is very vulnerable ??? In my opinion, bitcoin should still be on the encoding of other devices than that.

Cryptocurrency wallets are becoming more efficient as people are proceeding to use them on the go. Credit cards will be a thing of the past in the next 10- 20 years from now, in my own predictions.
Have you checked out the PumaPay cryptocurrency wallet? It's new and updated look with more key features are pretty impressive.

this is not the first, there are many ico projects that have the same ideas for now, and some have succeeded in selling ico.
but I do not really know something that is a real fact in its function as a card as their idea.

wouldn't this be like a regular form of currency though? Ideally the whole point of having digital currency could be to eliminate the usages of credit cards?!   

Exactly right but crypto lack this feature of credit .  In a credit card we can buy the things with credit and pay later after a month but in bitcoins we cannot have credit like this. Card of crypto however can act as a debit card only.

All crypto card project is sucks. No one make it survive for now.

It may be easy to issue crypto cards, but the exact use of the place is limited, not all places of strategy have machines for transactions. Management will need time and certainly better.

Want a card like a debit card or visa, meaning that our identity will be clearly registered. This is very contrary to the system used by bitcoin, which is anonymous and independent. If you make a card with a name label, it will need an organization to shelter and this is not a bitcoin that I know. With the wallet from a bitcoin account and the internet wherever we can access it, this is safer too.

Am missing something here which i will like to understand, can the card be used for transactions like sending, withdrawing and sending? because I have heard meaning information about card/ATM but have not really get the information on how it works.

Maybe its for commemorative purposes dude lol

If it is not an id and can’t even use for transaction then whats the main idea about this one?I dont get it either

For OP better let it go,theres no future about your sentiments here in crypto,and besides you are not helping lol

I think the point of crypto being made is being anonymous. By creating somekind of visa card will break those paradigm,right ?
Personally I don't agree using card while using scanner will make your transaction faster, why you selecting slower method ?

Remember that cryptocurrency being build for digital transaction unlike CC

Maybe someday it can happen because Bitcoin ATMs are in many areas, so the use of bitcoin cards can be realized. Because bitcoin is anonymous, of course, the system is different than a normal card, it only contains a code code with a complicated password that is connected to a smartphone, because it is impossible at any time to bring a laptop or computer when traveling. I think it can happen because blockchain technology allows it to be implemented.

A crypto card which a anonymous owner has. If people have such things they must also have card readers. It seems like coin wallet that store your balances on an account. There must not be a difference between them respect to their safety. I think, crypto assets stored in a crypto card would be easily accessible, when compared to coin wallet. because it will be much easier to hack a crypto card than a wallet.

this is good innovation, but it is difficult to implement. maybe this can be realized in the next 10 years or it can only be realized if Crypto is legal throughout the world so that crypto can work with banks and ATM machines can be used for crypto.

anything to make my life easier and more secure, i'm on board

I think cards can be one of the types of cryptocurrency storage. I think this is not unusual. I think it will be convenient for many people.

I agree. I think it's pointless to have a digital currency but still go back to using cards and cash. Going cashless should be the goal, right?

Sounds good. when crypto currency are put in a card, it would be more convenient and comfortable for people to use.

Check out http://www.xinfinity.io. Their Crypto MasterCard works just like a normal debit card you can use it at supermarkets anyplace that accepts MasterCard. Convenient   ;)

yes that's right, the use of cards will only be useful in countries that have legalized crypto to make payments, but if for countries that don't legalize it, crypto on cards for transaction or payment tools is very useless.

Having a cryptocurrency in a card required a lot of consideration. Important of it is the security features if ever. Though it is more convenient having it on card for faster transaction and conversion to cash, yet we dont know yet what will be its possible outcome. For now, just enjoy how crytocurrency make you profit and secure it for those scammers and hackers.

People have rubbished the idea behind cryptocurrency, why would anyone need a card to carry cryptocurrencies, when you have mobile wallets! A lot of these new projects integrating cards into their projects, aren't even seeing the satoshi dream, cards are some of the things crypto seems to bypass, and now people are making a mockery of the crypto idea. Why do I need a piece of worthless plastic, when transactions can be wallet to wallet!

You just forgot that grandma or grandpa couldn't use mobile wallet. Their generation only trust cash over everything.
By the way, there is another solution for this.
There is a company called Tangem which produce smart banknotes for digital assets.

Check out their site.
https://tangem.com/

I strongly agree with cryptocurrency on a card, such as a debit card. But its use is very limited, because there must be a device connected to the card, and not all countries legalize cryptocurrency. If it can be applied, it must be in developed countries where the systems, equipment and human resources already support.

why would I need a card for my crypto?
