I am very excited about cryptocurrency debit cards. It will bridge current acceptance problem and accelerate adaptation.
I do understand why you didn't talk about Bitcoin transaction fee problem but how to expect everyday crypto usage when fee is bigger then coffee price :D.
Ofc you could use other crypto but for average Joe it is hustle, btc is 50% of crypto market cap, his wife, mother, neighbour heard about some bitmoney etc.
One or two additional actions and you have lost average Joe.
Nice article, you always deliver well written article with great structure.
Yes crypto VISA / MasterCard cards will change many things.... mass acceptance will come sooner or later. Also I believe that those high fees will go down, as more and more such cards will be issued, and companies won't have other way but to reduce the fees. Personally myself I am currently doing research and watching few of those cards, and soon will open account and purchase one of them.
Just time is on my side this time, because more cards, drives more competition, and I will have better choices.
