There are already a number of cards that allow people to load it with bitcoin but you will have a $ balance and spend in $'s or if spending in bitcoin will have another conversion cost

As a consumer I would much prefer a re-loadable card that I load with bitcoin from my wallet (free) or with cash to bitcoin (small charge of 1% or below) so that I may spend in bitcoin at any merchant that accepts.

Are there any such cards out there? If not why not and when will there be one as I want one now !!!


PS..I have no problem spending up to $10 dollars for such a card and anyone who offers this could collect some good money if they can sell 100,000 cards initially

If I understand you correctly something like this?

It's still in development phase though, due to hardware limitations.
