Yes.

How many will be made of each or are these unlimited?

These are standard PURE Bitcoin physical bitcoin cards, so there won't be a limit on how many we produce.

[BalletCrypto]

I am pleased with your new product and commitment to tearing down the walls of regulation. I hope in the future you attempt to recapture the essence of what made physical bitcoin so special to begin with. Rarity and scarcity are the heart of driving sales. Icluding things like dates, mintage, and unique characteristics is the reason why customers become return buyers. Its the reason why your BTCCs are atill so highly sought after. I understand that you're juggling mass production and mainstream adoption and i hope that you can find a way to implement the chaacteristics that make me want to keep my ballet wallet in a glass case. I look forward to your new products and seeing what you come up with.

Thank you for the feedback. We definitely put a high value on the preferences of avid physical bitcoin enthusiasts, but as you say, there are a lot of factors to balance when designing our products.

I am a big fan of Ballet.  Like what you guys are doing.

Not sure I see a tremendous difference in buying these versus just the wallets and funding myself,  other than being able to buy with fiat without going through an exchange.  It's a plus for sure, but would like to have seen these in coin form just to be a little different from the self funded metal wallets.

I realize it would be hard to fit all of the various elements onto something the size of a coin, but maybe the size of a 1 oz gold or silver bar?

All good, just one reporter's opinion/preference.  Keep up the good work Ballet!

That is aim of Ballet... to make crypto easy. (Think that might even be their motto)
They are making it so that the average person can buy/get into crypto without having to jump through hoops.

  If thats the case then its a great idea for sure. ALso wonder why they never did one in Bitcoin orange? Maybe for another time and another type of card?

   Just a suggestion I am sure other would agree Orange is a good color as well...cheers!

they  did orange but as the plastic ones not the metal.

  Ahh yes they did...forgot about that one....It does come out damn good in Bitcoin Orange. Again it would be more appealing to me as  collector to have BTC loaded directly loaded from a miner just like BTCC used to...but like MJ said, this is great for people who do not want to go thru the hassle of jumping thru hoops in getting BTC easily. Agree

Great Job! I only hear good things from Ballet. It is a little more expensive to buy prefunded pieces, but there are tons of people that will pay the premium just so they won't have to try to figure out everything to get into crypto. They can just buy a physical already funded. That is valuable to a lot of people. Thanks for providing a safe and reliable product for people to choose from.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for expressing interest in our latest product, Loaded PURE Bitcoin. Regrettably, we have encountered certain issues during the beta launch phase. Financial institutions are declining a substantial proportion of credit and debit card transactions on our website due to regulatory restrictions on the cryptocurrency industry.

We have observed that some of our customers attempted to make payments using credit cards, but unfortunately, their transactions were declined. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and kindly request that you consider placing your order again using ACH bank transfer if you remain interested in the product.

Thank you,

Ballet Team

another reason to say fuck banks - acting as if the people's money is the property of the bank. People should be able to spend their damn fiat any way they want.

good luck at resolving this.

Well, the political climate for all of this is pretty shit at the moment IMO... Gensler sucks, the SEC sucks, the FED Sucks and ofc banks are just trying to keep up etc...

I imagine for Ballet, even obtaining an MSL in every state (if that was the case)? must have cost a shit-load, but if the major banks won't work with a major company because they have or are "branded" as "crypto", I suppose it does no real good.

I wonder if this moment is an inflection point on what the SEC and FED are doing, not necessarily banks because they are just trying to stay within the "law" which is clearly cloudy af right now in the USA.

We have Politicians trying to shutdown crypto again, and all sorts of other shit like CZ/Binance shit, the coinbase stuff, the unfinished XRP dilemma, ... The list is long.

[MoparMiningLLC]

maybe so but last I looked buying Bitcoin is not illegal so banks should let people buy it if they want to buy it.

are the crypto debit/credit cards also affected by this?
i don't think so, because then you could e.g. use your wirex/binance/... card for the order to avoid this madness...

the people that have those type of cards wouldnt be wanting to buy these wallets - it would be cheaper to buy it on the exchange - these are the wallets for those without exchange accounts.

I knew there was an issue with credit cards purchasing crypto but whats the problem with debit cards? Debit card is whst you use on the exchange?

some debit cards/credit cards have issues with exchanges as well. people should not have any limits on their spending other than that they have to have it to spend it.

Debit cards have a higher success rate than credit cards, but still too many are being rejected. Feel free to give it try.

Have a question for BalletCrypto regarding the PRO series: Why shipping is free for international orders and costs $25 for domestic (i.e. US) orders. Looks strange to me. Can you please elaborate on this? Thanks.

almost all ballet cards ship from the US - the PRO ship from overseas - that would be my guess as to why.

please note - tomorrow is the last day to order a PRO series - for some odd reason they are discontinuing them.
