It was also gas free because he hadn’t filled it up.

“Coinbase will automatically convert all your cryptocurrency to U.S. dollars when making a purchase”

So it’s still a useless form of currency for most transactions then, hence the need for this card.

    Hursty, I’m making the move over to Eternl as Daedalus is on schedule to open up for me in 2057 and I can’t wait that long to withdraw my 15 dollars.

    mono-stereo Its still using the blockchain obviously you’re local shop need it in gbp but it’s directly subtracted from you’re crypto and no fee. There are more and more merchants accepting btc and eth via wallets so they receive as btc and it’s up to them if they want to convert to fiat. If you’re eth is going up in value the way it can it’s certainly better than having everything in gbp or euro. Plus you’re 1.5% back every time you use the card.

    The card is reducing fees as you would have to convert to usdc incurring a fee then also incurring a fee to withdraw to bank.

      The point is that you’re still not actually using crypto coins to pay for stuff with this card. It’s converted into GBP/USD as you actually pay for stuff.

        mono-stereo how the fuck can you expect local shops and filing stations to accept crypto directly yet and have to incur fees to convert it to fiat. The visa card is cutting out the middle man and is making use of the blockchain.

        The day may well come that you’re local shop will except it direct. The only merchants that are accepting btc direct are large establishments so far. Charles Hurst in Belfast where accepting it if you bought a car.

        Gbp or euro do nothing and generally depreciate lately where if u bought eth in at 900 dollars you would of bloody doubled you’re money. The more crypto can reduce fees the more relevant it can become in my eyes, crypto has came along way in a short space of time, it’s only the beginning.

            Funky The visa card is cutting out the middle man

            I’m not sure I can make this any more clear. I’ll try again.

            Your cryptocurrency is being convereted by Coinbase before it hits the merchant’s bank account.

                mono-stereo stop being tedious
                Mono seriously. I’ll say again how else is it going to work universally at the moment you need a middle man. I will say again there is some fkn merchants who except it direct via a wallet so is that useless too fuck off!

                Long as the blockchain is getting used that’s all I care about. This is only the start, stick with you’re gbp in you’re current account doing fuck all.

                    Funky stick with you’re gbp in you’re current account doing fuck all.

                    Cheers.

                        Coinbase ripping hard past month after court case up 76% also the miners like mara doing well, could there be a big pop coming across crypto, hope so anyway.

                        Think I’ll sink £30k on ETH. See you on the rocket lads

                          Millsy only £30k?? No point, gotta be at least £100k

                          ETH for the win

                            On my way back to my apartment earlier this eve I passed a very unattractive young woman wearing a black t-shirt covered in large white text stating ‘CRYPTO IS FOR VIRGINS’.

                              hugopal It also has the power to get some lucky autistic virgins living in their mums basement rich and ultimately laid.

                                  Ripple is not a security according to a US judge

                                  Well well well

                                  Funky yeah probably, so long as they didn’t blow it on NFTs.

                                    I hear there are many crypto holders in Turkey

                                    Argentina are in an even worse predicament

                                      Hursty The Turkish Lira is just fucked. I hope for LT’s sake the CIA are paying him in a different currency.

                                          hugopal it’s a fiat currency, every single one ever created in history has gone to zero, but this time it’s different remember!

                                          I wonder if gold has ever gone to zero, something which has intrinsic value? Erm no it hasn’t…

                                              bosstrabs Sorry Dave, yes FIAT!

                                              I see the Lebanese central bank chief is on the run, mismanaging the FIAT ponzi over the years at the detriment of the populous

                                                The term “fiat” is a Latin word that is often translated as “it shall be” or “let it be done.”

                                                You’re welcome!

                                                  Revolut offering 12.95% apy on staked Polkadot. Deposit fees are similar to coinbase though but there is learn to earn rewards on there.

                                                  Also if u refer a friend to revolut you get 50 quid cash back, done it with the brother there will share it! Can refer up to 5 people so potentially 250 quid shared between you’re mates.

                                                    Its not an instant cash drop into your account though, right? They have to spend a certain amount before you receive it?

                                                        LT42 yeah 3 purchases using the card minimum 5 quid but there is no real time limit, so aslong as those purchases are necessities still a decent offer.

                                                        Shib is looking good right now with crypto doing nothing, Shibarium in August I hear is why there is fomo but there has been set backs in the past.
