Coinbase Just Debuted the First Bitcoin Debit Card in the US

“It’s called the Shift Card, and it lets you spend bitcoin at any merchant—both online and off—that accepts an ordinary VISA card. Imagine buying a burrito at your local Mexican joint with bitcoin card, or a television from Amazon.com. The card has been approved for use by anyone living in one of 25 US states, including Texas, Washington, and New Jersey.  The new debit card is available to anyone with a Coinbase account. To sign up, you must verify your identity and pay a $10 insurance fee. After that, when buying from merchants based in the US, you can pay for goods in bitcoin without any additional fees (as with other debit cards and credit cards, the fees are paid by the merchants).”
