KIM IS ...... !

Now thats what I call PRESS  Grin

I hope he isn't doing it only because he invested heavily in Bitcoin and now he wants to keep the BTC price going up...

yeah, thought about that too. would be the same thing that bulls/bears do in the speculation sub-forum, but with a much bigger impact on the market.

The tweet makes me question his intentions. He has already publicly pumped and dumped a stock, doing the same with an anonymous asset would be perfect.

I imagine its no easy feat putting out a debit card.
Okpay debit card is foundable with bitcoins since ages.

They also lowered fees recently.

Let's see @KimDotcom try to compete with the #BitInstant Debit card. Let's rock and roll #Bitcoin


You mean the debit card that was promised like, a year ago? I think we're far beyond the point of vaporware status.

Its just as vaporware as Kim's, I imagine its no easy feat putting out a debit card.

I hope he pulls it off Grin  And that it doesn't come with a really high fee for using it.

My guess is that he is seeing the Bitcoin income come in from his current venture Mega.co.nz. By the way selling Mega for Bitcoin is far more likley to impact the BTC / USD exchange rate than another Bitcoin debit card.

I looked and charlie actually tweeted him and said lets compete and that is even cooler. I think instead of trying to gain an aid in his public image, he creating a market for bitcoin debt cards with two different options.

Awesome! I want one of each!!!

His prior tweet was also very nice:

Possibly these were the catalyst for the $36 handle...?
