Bitcoin Card

[Ant23]

Is there any bitcoin/cryptocurrency card available for USA residents? I looked around and the first couple I saw were for EU residents.
Any input would be appreciated

Bitpay card. Order online from bitpay.com. Costs $10. Works great.

Bitpay card seems to be the way to go.

so is money transferred via BC to your card, and do you transfer money to the card. is it as simple as that, no middle man and no wallet?

Is BC the de facto wallet?

Ever since I got my Crypto.com MCO debit card, I never use BitPay anymore.

Isn’t any US bank going to so you for your SSN?

Any bank or reloadable prepaid debit card in the U.S will ask for s.s #. It's for i.d uses only no worries. They are a legit bank.

Yes it's as simple as that. Bitcoin is converted to dollars instantly and it's like any other debit card you use.

Can you use this card at any banks ATM?

Can you use this card at any banks ATM?

Yes. It's a V. I. S a card. So any atm or store where that is accepted. I think a.t.m fee is 2 or 3 bucks not sure. It's definitely the quickest option to convert bitcoin to cash. Beats waiting 2 or 3 days for funds to hit bank account.

Now to withdraw from one of these sites you just click on “transfer” and copy the BTC address, correct?

Crypto.com is good, but one of the drawbacks is it takes 1-3 hours for btc deposits/incoming transfers. Bitpays takes 20-30 minutes.

Bitpay is actually instant if you send with a high fee. No confirmations required.

Thanks for the info. I've always used the 10 block fee and it always takes about 20-30 minutes. I've done the same to crypto.com and it varies from 1-3 hours.

I've had experience with both the Bitpay card and Crypto.com card.

1. If you don't mind staking mco, than the crypto.com is definitely better with 2% to 5% mco back on purchases and other rewards.

2. If you plan to use the card for mostly debit purchases, then the crypto.com is better with 1% mco rewards on every purchase. Bitpay has no rewards using the card.

3. If you plan to mostly use the card to withdrawal cash at the ATM, the Bitpay card is better.

4. If you want your BTC deposit from book to card as quick as possible, the Bitpay card is better.

Yeah that's because the crypto card requires 6 confirmations I believe. That's why I won't get one. I guess I'm impatient. I like my money instant.

I wonder how long V I S A cards will support Bitcoin related companies, hope it will last but it could stop anytime.

How long do you have to buy and hold the tokens at Crypto.com in order to receive the card?
