These types of cards have certain limitation and might not be valid payment method for international transaction.
Most pre paid Visa Cards are not respected by online merchants and services - for example, you can't buy games on G2A.com with prepaid visa card. Hm, that's what I was (am) afraid of. Getting a useless piece of plastic with good money locked inside that can't be spent easily wherever you want. Using bitcoin directly whenever possible and stick with standard credit/debit card is far better idea IMO.
Problem is, not all merchants accept bitcoin. Besides, it could be a convenient way to get fast cash when abroad. |

Real quick thread about some Bitcoin debit cards and it's pros and cons[1].
Yes, I'd seen that thread in my initial research phase. It's a useful comparison. Thanks for the heads up, @TryNinja! I posted a request there. If I do get a code, I'll see if I manage to register. |

No it's wrong. I don't think BTC was ever mined using GPUs. LTC however yes, and ETC/ETH. The ETH bubble until June cause a shortage of GPUs and helped both AMD and nvidia financially. BTC indeed used to be mined with GPUs. And CPUs before that. |

Hello, I would use your card to spend bitcoin with merchants that do not accept bitcoin. It would get a lot of use if it works, is generally well accepted, and the running expenses are reasonable.
If I receive a promo code and it works well I will post about my experience.

I still like Spectrocoin more because they are buying /exchanging/ BTC -> EUR at good rates. For example Wirex are buying BTC at 100E less than Spectrocoin.
Thanks for the good info, BigBoy89. I'll take a better look into Spectrocoin. Any actual user of different cards (Xapo or others) is welcome to chime in if they feel like sharing personal experience or opinion! |

If you don't mind I'd like to ask you all a few serious questions.
1. When is "moon" for you guys? Everyone has their own "moon" value.
2. When your "moon" figure has been achieved how will you sell a large amount of coins or will you always keep bitcoin?
3. Will you always keep a portion of your stash and never convert to fiat?
Thanks and happy ATH friends.
1. Around 15K USD. 2. I'll sell just enough to get even with all the fiat I poured into BTC. 3. You bet. |

Segwit clears out the mempool? Trust me, most people don't even know what mempool is. Anyway, we'll hit the new ATH soon, but then BTC will crash hard, because of Bitcoin Cash, you'll see, everything's getting ready for a takeover.
Bye bye. |

Hello, I've done my share of homework researching the available debit cards, but it's hard to find reliable information from people actually using such cards. EU citizen, currency EUR. My ideal would be a totally anonymous debit card, which as I understand it, is impossible nowadays Unless you want to be limited to 1000-2000 EUR per card/street address. Or is it? Second best: a normal debit card in my name. I am interested in Xapo, but I'm not sure it actually works well. Are there any alternatives with strong points? Xapo commissions look sane on paper, but how about the exchange rate, for example? One last issue is taxes. Since I never sold a single BTC, I've had no need to mention BTC in my taxes. How does it work when I spend from a debit card? Am I going to find friendly mr. Smith (the taxman) knocking at my door? Any advice from actual debit card users will be welcome as useful help. Thank you! |

It's not BCash, it's Bitcoin Cash.
You big blockers can call your abortion fork coin whatever you want to call it. We "Bitcoiners" will refer to it as BCash. Or shitcoin clone. Whichever. Pride cometh before the fall. I'm betting on both horses (by doing nothing), so I'm covered either way. BTC is worth the same as before the fork, so why be greedy and dump BCH? If you haven't dumped it, the only reason to bash it is because you're afraid of it. I haven't dumped it. I'm covered either way. I'm not afraid. I'm annoyed by the power struggles of evil Dr.Sumthings around the world that want to impose their will to a whole community, with the likely hope of being able to manipulate the rules at will once they're in control. The evil Dr.Sumthing always fails in the end, as we all know from uncountable James Bond movies. That's why I'm not afraid. TL;DR: Not afraid, but pissed off. |

The community doesn't realize yet it has been besieged.
I think most people involved in BTC (the community) do realize this is an attack. I, for one, do. A siege, though, is not a generic attack. It involves being starved by the enemy outside, which can't happen as long as we keep our provisions (BTC) - that is, if we don't trade BTC for BCH. I am convinced that the value of BCH will vanish soon, unless it is artificially (and expensively) pumped from the BCH side. Which they are welcome to do, as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to trade my BCH back into BTC if I see steady rates in the order of 0.3-0.5 BCH/BTC. I dont expect it to come back to 0.3-0.5 rate ever. Upcoming days BCH will drop in value drasticly. At the moment of speaking BCH is already down to 275 Euro on Kraken. Get a decent price for em while you still can.... Thanks for your suggestion, HanvanBitcoin. I see what you mean and it's reasonable. However, I've thought a bit about it. I need to set up an account and move all my coins to new addresses before I can actually sell. For the time being, I like to consider my hedl BCH as an insurance on the unlikely black swan of BTC losing value as the real chain. And I'm waiting for a possible pump in November. Deferred rewards and all that. |

we're gonna see a whale jump out of the ocean. Also someone's made an error.
I can't figure out your cryptic statement. Someone on which side? What makes you think an error was made? This war is going to evolve to involve fiat and nations
You mean PBoC vs. Fed? Care to elaborate? |

I don't think I can handle more ETF hype and then another "sorry, no"
The ETF is still mere speculation, but futures and options should be here "real soon now." |
|
|

Futures and options based on BTC coming soon. The SEC probably will change opinion on ETFs soonish. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-08-02/bitcoin-etf-approval-odds-are-way-analyst-says?page=1I am confident this would cause an immediate surge in the USD price of BTC. It's the longer term effects I am unsure of. Many say Wall Street will be able to manipulate the crypto market by naked shorting the stuff. I think an ETF backed by actual collateral can't. How about a clearing house for options and other derivatives? |

Calling 2850 tomorrow
I guess it's going to be higher than that. Likely an ATH. |
