PayPal and some other online retailers are going to start taking it. It's only a matter of time before card readers will start accepting it.


You can use PayPal to buy it. I threw $20 at it. Yep, I'm a BIG spender....

Its regulated. You have to pay taxes on trades

Currently, it's more of an investment than a currency. Most grocery stores don't accept gold. If you want groceries, you sell your gold and get some cash. If you need to dip into your Bitcoin to buy groceries, you simply sell it on an exchange where you have an account and move the money into your banking account. Eventually, Bitcoin exchanges will offer debit and credit cards so you can spend your satoshis (or dollars) anywhere just like any other card.

You don't have to sell the whole Bitcoin. You can sell any percent you want
depending on what amount of cash you need. That goes the same for buying it.

Robinhood already does this. You can sell stocks, options, or cryptos and have the money into your account on there, they issue you a card linked to that account and it works like a debit card.

When did this go into effect? Are they counting losses as well for tax purposes?

The BTC cards are already out there.... Visa has a division dedicated to digital

Here's the CB card - https://blog.coinbase.com/coinbase-card-launches-in-the-us-8608e72cd0b5

Yes, just like your annual stock gains/losses, its part of your return. I'll have an offset this year but next year is going to be a big IRS check assuming I sell some holdings (which I plan on doing).

Cool, I hadn't seen the new coinbase card.
