I've been out of the loop since steemmonsters became established. They seem a bit like pokemon cards in some respects. I might be able to get my kids interested in this, at least there seems like a chance of getting a return for the investment.
I'm sick of throwing money away for their in game purchases on fortnite, it never seems to end with that game and they really have nothing tangible to show for the investment. I think my oldest boy would love it and the other two would want to get involved so they don't miss out on anything.
I feel exactly the same. Fletch wanted to spend his pocket money on some plastic junk the other day. Convinced him to get a prepaid VISA card and buy packs with it instead :)
I was just looking into buying a starter pack for him and your suggestion of using a prepaid visa card seems like the easiest option. Nearly all our financial systems are handled on the internet these days so now's as a good a time as any to get him used to transacting over the web. If he has his own visa card he won't be able to wring mine out :)
