Something is going on.

Germanys great blockchain bank Bitwala offers a "Visa® prepaid debit card".

Description says:
"Cash out at any ATM. Pay at over 30 million online and offline merchants where VISA® is accepted"
"Convert your bitcoin and altcoins, Cash out in any currency"
www.bitwala.com/card
 
"Currently, we accept ~60 cryptocurrencies through our partner, ShapeShift. In the future, we will accept and sell   these      currencies   directly   without   the   need   for   a   third   party."

I don't know how ShapeShift can help Bitwala but it means that Vertcoin (VTC) can be used too because Vertcoin is one of these picked Altcoins (around 50) supported by Shapeshift. I love Vertcoin (www.reddit.com/r/vertcoin).

Sounds like a great concept.
Load your card with coins and pay everywhere you want!!! GREAT.

Btw: there are 2 other companies which have a similar concept: TenX and Wirex.
