I'm not impressed. I don't see a point in this. If you have a visa/mastercard card, you have a bank account. If you have a bank account, you can just wire money on an exchange and buy bytes with reasonable 1-3% fee. Instead of working with high volume exchanges to list bytes, Tonych and team developed this rather bizarre way of buying bytes heavily subsidizing a private company in the process with undistributed funds.
Tell me what's so cool about it?
do you know how many countries don't have decent exchanges? plenty. you might have to send money abroad or not be able to do it at all. localbitcoins is the obvious alternative but premiums there can easily be far more than this card fee.
remember there's a whole world out there and every single country has a different level of crypto accessibility.
People are underestimating this feature because they are forgetting that its not just byteballs you can buy with VISA/MC, you can buy all the crypto with your credit card. You can use this bot for doing CreditCard>Byteball>Any crypto. Byteball to other crypto transformation can be incredible cheap if you use the right exchange.
this is a very good point. i do wonder though how solid this avenue is going to be though. cards and crypto are looking pretty shaky these days.
