may be. but i guess debit card/credit card/visa will always be there. but I imagine someday debit cards and visas can also pay with crypto. so crypto and fiat can together become a means of payment.

Every day, people are getting more used to digital payments with crypto due to the numerous benefits it provides. There are no chargebacks, no middleman, and lower fees. Comparing crypto against traditional credit/debit cards issued by banks, I'd say crypto wins by a long shot. Merchants and businesses are slowly accepting crypto as payment method, so we should see credit/debit cards lose traction in the long run. Even VISA announced that it will be using Blockchain tech for its own benefit.
The way I see this will turn out in the future is that credit/debit cards will cease to exist as they're replaced by stablecoins and decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Maybe VISA, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover will make stablecoins of their own? If credit/debit cards are eliminated, then we'll be on the right path towards a full-fledged cashless society. Instead of carrying with a physical wallet full of paper money or plastic cards, you would only carry a smartphone with a digital wallet containing the coins of your choice.
What do you think? Will cryptocurrencies eliminate the need for credit/debit cards in the future? If not, why? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

I believe that all of the above is true. And while it is probably not okay that cash in hand money disappears, I'm looking forward to a world in which central bankers can not manipulate our purchasing power by printing tons of money and by charging intrest on loans of money that they do not possess.
I have read that HBAR (Hedera Hashgraph) of all blockchain technologies is the fastest, the cheapest and the most energy efficient.
Kevin O'Leary, a known billionaire from Shark Tank, has invested a significant amount of his portfolio in HBAR.
That said, I don't know where it stands in comparison to Ethereum after the merge.

what you say doesn't make sense to me because it's all bullshit. because it is impossible for Cryptocurency to eliminate the need for people to use Debit/Credit cards. so don't mix water and oil because they won't stick together. because not all people on earth know and believe in cryptocurrencies so that until now many countries do not have special rules regarding the circulation of cryptocurrencies.

Yes, I have the same opinion as you regarding this topic. Look, I am also very comfortable using digital payment systems in lieu of using cash. Just imagine you have to pay a huge amount of cash now. It is really impossible to carry that cash. There would be several problems. But I can carry more than that amount without carrying cash. I just need to carry my smartphone and I can pay the amount easily. Though I am not a big supporter of credit or debit, they charge a very good amount for them, but what is a loss for me? If our country approved BTC, then obviously I would be very comfortable using BTC and Crypto. because it will be the easiest and safest. That's my overall opinion regarding this. Thank you.

Will crypto eliminate the credit/debit card? Probably not, but will it take over the domination, most likely yes. Crypto more seamless than Credit and Debit card, however the biggest challenge is the credit score, most people using credit card to get credit score so they can get some loan from bank.

IMHO, I dont think so, because the debit cards and credit cards are not against each other since some functions from credit/debit cards and crypto are identical so there's no such word as close completion between the two platforms because both platforms can be adjusted depending on the situation they were applied. so I believe both services will share the market potential and survive in the future.

I can't guarantee that it won't fully happen in the future, but as of right now, given the pace at which cryptocurrencies are being adopted globally, I doubt that this will be attainable in a few decades. Why? Because there will still be a government. Such an event won't take place due to the government's need for total control. However, if the majority of the top countries use and leverage the profit for economic development, this is still achievable. With additional nations adopting it, the entire world will eventually do so, I'm confident. Also currently, there hasn't yet been any formidable step to show that it will soon replace debit and credit cards.
I don't think that cryptocurrencies will eliminate the need for credit and debit cards in the future. The government and banks will not allow it, though some applications (like financial mobile apps) may make debit and credit cards obsolete and for sure it won't be the cryptocurrency for the earlier reason I stated.
Actually there is no problem if Cryptocurrencies are made to get rid of like credit/debit cards and that's the main purpose of digital money with the emergence of Bitcoin, wanting to eliminate banking, and my speculation that nothing is impossible because many are misused credit/debit cards, many hacking or theft from customers, a lot of complaints from everyone, for example from their credit cards, a lot of money lost without him using it, I think it could happen...

At this moment, how can cryptocurrencies operate without the need for credit or debit cards just like how can Bitcoin exist without a bank? What we should concentrate on is how to develop a more flexible and less fee gateway between cryptocurrency and traditional banking, we need debit cards to make payments and withdraw our cryptocurrency when we exchange them to solve real-life issues. So cryptocurrency should be seen and used as an alternative and not a replacement for traditional financial services.

In this case we must look with a broad view. We must enter into business competition. Visa, Credit Card, Master Card, or whatever the name is is part of the business.
The blockchain system can indeed replace all of that, including the paper money we use today. However, the blockchain system cannot replace the interests of business people.
They will continue to strive to bring to life what they develop. Visa, Master card, Credit Card are part of the banking business where they benefit greatly from the card. If it's gone, then half of their business is lost. Logically, then they will maintain it, and develop to a more sophisticated stage including adopting the blockchain system in the cards.

In many ways, the cryptocurrency market opens up new opportunities because most cryptocurrencies serve as both a payment system and an actual unit of account. It's no surprise that businesses are paying attention to and investing heavily in this brand new technology, particularly in the Bitcoin protocol. Some people believe that this new technology is the currency of the future and will fundamentally alter the way make and receive payments today.
And even bitcoin does not have any chance to eliminate the need for debit and credit cards, however it has the potential to become an alternative for all of those which are unbanked and that do not want to deal with all the requisites and policies that banks impose on them.

I do not agree that cryptocurrencies will eliminate the need for people to use credit/debit cards because Cryptocurency is only used by certain people and not many people understand the system applied to cryptocurrencies. Moreover, cryptocurrencies have a high risk that can hinder people's trust to use them. So cryptocurrencies cannot eliminate the need for a credit/debit card.
Currently, cryptocurrency may not be able to replace or completely eliminate debit/credit cards, but in the future the possibility is very high, once the cryptocurrency is mass adopted, the replacement can also happen.
With the convenience of not needing to carry the card with you and the cost greatly reduced, I think it perfectly fits modern needs. We need more time and for this to happen, obviously cryptocurrencies need to be more popular.

I think cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum should be integrated more into the banking sector. We should be able to use cryptocurrencies for spending with debit and credit cards. Countries should look at cryptocurrencies more positively.
This can happen in the future. Even now we've got more credit/debit cards through the which cryptocurrency can be used. It is all about the market integration. Countries always have difference of opinion over bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The banking sectors need to take initiative to integrate the usage of cryptocurrencies. This takes time and in future we can use the cryptocurrency debit/credit cards same as that we tap and pay with the traditional bank credit/debit cards. August 06, 2022, 01:50:13 AM
For cryptocurrency to eliminate credit/debt, it first far most need to compete with the merchant services (the way how business get paid for the goods or services from the customers) by convincing the businesses an extremely good reason to use this coin or token. In the end the businesses are the ones decides the fate and the value of coin or token. Adam Smith "the invisible hand".

I am sure and convinced that in the future cryptocurrency will replace plastic cards, because with cryptocurrency it is easier and there is no need to issue plastic to a bank card, and with cryptocurrency a smartphone and a wallet in it are enough, and today it is hard to imagine a person without a smartphone.
The plastic card can still be alternative and there's no need to kill it. I personally using QR code transactions for my daily life and this is much more easier compared using the plastic card. Crypto currency can be spent used the app that was supporting the QR code payment system. This will much more efficient caused by anyone always had phone in their pocked to be used as a payment system as well. Smartphone has become a part of people's life

Eliminate?
No.
Cryptocurrency may be used as one of the payment methods, but not to eliminate the previous payment method.
Not all people, countries, and environments are ready with cryptocurrency. Not all countries legalise crypto as a payment method.
The use of crypto as a payment method may be more complex than the use of CC or DC.
Moreover, the use of CC is exactly different with the crytocurrency, they ahve some certain different purposes, not only as the payment method.
No.

i am also not seeing in our lifetime that crypto will take-over the financial system. maybe the use of crypto will expand and grow, but the main payment system such as credit/debit card will remain. remember, not all people are amenable with crypto. some still prefer with fiat no matter what innovations in the payment sector is. they just want to stick with the traditional methods. you know what i mean?

I don't think it will happen with so much hacking and leaking going on with people will still go on the mode of payment that will insure their money, banks are not going to go away but they can add Cryptocurrency to their system and they can co-exist, there are circumstances that bank can only play a role on transactions and there are circumstances that its much better to us Cryptocurrency than bank's credit or debit card, I don't see anything wrong if they can co-exist we are in a modern world a world where people are always looking for a better alternatives.
