I'm torn - other cos call it a cash advance recognizing crypto as currency, but that is expensive. on the other hand, i want easy access to crypto. fuck it.
looks like I'm getting a barclays card!
What if, this is exactly what they have planned? You like being played(i don't think so, nobody does)?
I would be more cautious while dealing with banks, always assume that your counterparty is having some secret agenda.
Maybe they setting a debt trap for newcomers, maybe it just pure marketing to attract people and show how modern they are, idk
but what I do know is that, they are there to make money, lots of it. When someone stands in their way... gets crushed.
All that being said, buying cryptos with credit card is pretty stupid idea, unless you know you won't have any trouble in paying that off.
Also not every purchase with debit-card, automatically means debt right? One can have his own funds there and than its just ordinary payment.
But in general I do agree, not the best idea.
