Roger Ver managed to get onto CNBC as well, to promote bitcoin cash.

You can watch the interview on the following video:

It's not easy for mainstream buyers to purchase bitcoincash though, as it is still not on coinbase.

No, why would I?

Visa and Crypto are on the opposite ends of multiple spectrums.

Visa would remove anonimity, introduce centralization and it give control over your funds in the hands of the Visa issuer. Once you put coins on your Visa debit card, they're not really yours anymore, the card issuer (bank) does and you're trusting them. Then the government can swoop in and take them from you.

It's just dumb.


I always disliked bcash but now it sould be clear for everyone the direction they're taking.

And I think it's a bit confusing that exchanges use different symbols for it. No idea why it's not rectified, consistency would be good.

I wonder if this kind of cards would be available worldwide or only at EU and US region? I suppose there is no sense to make another very local debit card.

This. The raison d'etre of decentralized currency is that no central trusted third party such as government can freeze, seize or otherwise control you blockchain assets. The moment you transfer your assets to the accounts belonging to some legal entity regulated in some legal jurisdiction, you lose this important property. At that point, you're better off using Visa with fiat currencies, it's faster.

They should be promoting BTC if anything, not all these clone crap forks that are here and all the ones that are coming.  It's getting silly.

honest question. Why do you think they should be promoting BTC over BCH? Especially in a DEBIT CARD scenario which is used for FAST/CHEAP micro transactions......

"governments just cannot ignore it anymore"... no but with debit cards they can control it. They not just could track people who use Bitcoin or Bcash debit cards but also seize their funds...

Hi Guys,

It looks like Bitcoin Cash broke a little resistance line on this news, but it needs volume to push itself of this line. Here is my chart:
