A big problem with crypto debit cards is fees and percentage cut.

What would it take to create a crypto debit card with low enough fees to be useful for everyday purchases that could be fed by CDPs for example, essentially making it a crypto backed credit card?

The red pill is, we don't need cards. We need retail adoption of crypto. The two coins that are pushing for it right now are BCH and DASH.

What about cards, there will always be fees, the card provider must earn somehow for providing you basically a cash-out service.

Agreed, I'm trying to noodle out ways of minimizing those fees to make them useful enough before point of sale adoption (which is probably many years / decades away)

Feeling like a brainlet as I have literally no ideas how to do this

It's a market problem. There is not enough demand and competition to force the providers of these services to minimize the cost of these services

This. Cards are a short term solution. What we need is people actually accepting crypto as payment. It has already begun and it won't stop anytime soon. A bit of patience will be required though until we literally never have to cash out to fiat.

I just got my Spend Visa debut card in the mail on Friday, the only cost was a $25 one-time fee, plus the 25k tokens staked/locked for 6 months. Bought a book on Amazon with ETH and got 2% back (denominated in SPND). Supposedly I can use it at the ATM just as easily, only reason I haven’t is ATM fees, but if crypto moons then that is my intention.
There are 3 tiers, I’m in the middle tier currently. Bottom tier is a virtual debit card. Top tier requires 250k SPND but pays 6% back.
I don’t know where they’re based but it’s not the U.S. Hoping crypto moons ASAP and I’ll cash out a shitton this way.

Interesting. What are their fees per transaction?the cashback in SPND aspect is a little iffy

>> No.14913221

No transaction fees. Don’t know where they get their spot conversion rates but you can just convert to USD if that’s a worry.

If BTC is digital gold, could there potentially be a digital cash backed by BTC? If we once had paper notes backed by gold, then could that be possible?

Crypto is fiat currency, except it doesn't have any government support. It's probably not going to see widespread acceptance.
