Hello!

I mean the idea of buying cryptocurrency through gift cards in your local store as opposed to buying cryptocurrencies using for example ATM's that also ask a 'ridiculously high' fee. This would make the first step of buying cryptocurrency a lot easier for non-tech-savvy people, instead of going through the still kind of steep learning curve of buying/using/sending cryptocurrencies.


These would be easy to hand out to friends and family (right?), because I'm sure I'm not the only one who has gifted some close friends or family with some 'weird value holding paper' (sounds familiar to something we all still use today?). Perhaps this can even encourage your more 'cryptopposed' friends to at least try to grasp the idea behind and the possibilities of our (future) blockchain community by effectively doing a transaction on their own (may it be just to sell it back for cash :p)

If you want to know more about our project that's planning to deliver cryptocurrency gift cards in local stores worldwide, please have a look at our website or our official ANN


Anyway, I just wanted to start a discussion as to what you would do if you could buy cryptocurrency at your local store, the same way you can buy Google Play or iTunes store cards, to perhaps make cryptocurrency something more 'touchable', something one can hold.

I'm not sure what you mean; (dis-)advantages of what over what?
