People are already concerned about their Bitcoins even if they are kept secure in their hardware or cold wallet and if a mastercard like card is issued for Bitcoin it will just only increase the risk of losing your Bitcoin easily if somehow you managed to lose your card. I don't think this could be a good idea.
Now that it has a card, it suddenly worries you? Then I can picture you not ever having an ATM card or a credit card as that will be hackable according to your logic.
There probably is going to be a 2FA and/or a pin code when using a bitcoin debit card. We're all about safety and security here.
Having a bitcoin and cryptocurrency app is much better for me. Since we have a modern technology now, tap can be used and is more convinient with swipping. We can also transact via qr code thru our mobile phones which we always have. A card is good, but an app is better. Both can be stole anyway.
Yeah, but an app comes with a phone which already costs you a lot of money even when they weren't able to get your coins. Not everyone puts password in their phone. Not everyone puts password in their bitcoin apps. With a card, it will probably have a pin code since it doesn't make sense to not have it.
Bitcoin itself is like mastercard. You carry your wallet with you, which is your phone or laptop and you buy whatever you want using your coins which you are giving away from your wallet. So, I honestly don't see the reason behind making another card for that reason.
Probably so that we will be able to swipe our cards to scanners and be able to pay with our bitcoins with whatever we are buying. The total will be converted into how much is it in bitcoins and that will be the amount that will be deducted to your card.
It is easy to say it but very difficult to understand the process. If a mastercard is allowed for you to spend your Bitcoin, then a central authority will issue the card who will also have the authority to track your usage and all the details about your coins. This will not only invade your privacy but also make the decentralized feature of BTC useless.
Exactly, but whenever you're using an exchange, that creates centralization right away. Even online wallet creates centralization. There are small circles of centralization happening and people don't really realize that it's happening. They think that bitcoin is decentralized but it's only the ones that aren't in any institutions or third-party wallet/companies.
