E-coin card

This is cool, nice hunt @StringStory! I made a GIF :-)

Before Coinbase's Shift card came out, there was e-coin card. And the major difference is that you can use this card anywhere around the world.

I've used this card few times (real, physical card) and it works well. Downside is that card has actually balance in EUR/USD (or whatever currency you choose) and you need to exchange your bitcoin to that currency on E-Coin website before spending. There is no realtime BTC to currency exchange as you paid in store, but you need to do it beforehand. However it is still really fast and great way to spend the coins

I've used e-coin's card since the capital controls were imposed in Greece, and it works great: https://blog.vrypan.net/2015/08/...

Does it work in Canada?

Does this work in the UK?

Does not seem to be available in the U.S.
