[2016-12-14] Integrating NFC Technology In Bitcoin Wallet Cards

[Vladdirescu87]

General Bytes, a bitcoin and blockchain technology provider, has manufactured a new bitcoin wallet card that can be used at every Near Field Communication (NFC) point of sale.

A Czech Republic-based Bitcoin hardware manufacturer, General Bytes, decided to replace QR codes with NFC bitcoin wallets for bitcoin point of sale (POS). The company thinks that the new NFC technology can simplify the user experience while transacting with bitcoin.
Meanwhile, other market experts and competitors think introducing NFC technology into bitcoin POS machines won’t really make a big difference as they are all automatic systems.

I welcome every attempt to increase the adoption rate or to make it much easier to use, but I kinda agree with the point that it won't make much difference. It's still the mentality of the people that needs to change in the way that they start to see Bitcoin also as a currency tool instead of only an investment. As long as that doesn't change, it won't be much of importance.
