“The Bluetooth and NFC enabled smartcard, nio Card, has recently announced the addition of bitcoin payments to the rather long list of features the card already boasts. Originally dreamt up as a means for the creator to keep from losing his things, the nio Card is a third generation iteration of the nio Tag. More of a Swiss army knife than a standard contactless card, the Nio Card is capable of handling a large array of applications. These range from serving as a locator for your lost wallet or purse, to holding your rewards card information, to giving you feedback on your daily running workout.”
