I have been thinking about getting a physical Bitcoin debit card for quite some time and I would like to know which one is the best, cheapest, or most secure. Also, if you have a BTC debit card, or with any other cryptocurrency share your experiences with it and let me know which one.
I was thinking about converting my wallet to cryptopay and getting a debit card from there since it is only $15, but they currently don't ship to Canada so I'm looking for other options which have a cheap physical card cost as well as low fees.
I don't think this would be disallowed, but since it's talking about debit cards let me know if it is.
EDIT: Since everyone is asking this is the link I used to buy my VCC which was $2.5 and it's working great so far.

EDIT 2: If you make a Cryptopay account, make sure you enable 2FA because your login is just your email + pass.

Wait, a BTC debit card? What is it and how does it work?
I would imagine they would set it up like money network cards etc. Going to look into that though interesting.

Same way as any other debit card, you put funds on it and you can use it anywhere.
I bought a Bitcoin VCC for $2.5 a few minutes ago and it literally works like any other CC/DC at checkout so I'll definitely be using Cryptopay now

You can use it in stores? I'm so confused on how this works

Yeah, any place that takes other major credit cards.

You can use it as any debit card you have. It's also a VISA, so it can be used as a visa. (Debit Visa, in other words.)
I have tried the e-coin.io (now called Wirex) before and it was awesome!
I have heard of the Xapo one, will try it soon.

Do you have a website for this? I've never heard of this in my life and want to hear more. Transferring my btc to bank deposit can get annoying sometimes so this could be useful

So I link my wallet to the card? Let's say I go to buy McDonald's. I can use that btc card, and it'll take funds out of my wallet?

I'm not sure how much the other ones are, but the Cryptopay physical card is $15

And yes if you get a BTC debit card you can buy McDonalds with your BTC wallet.

You have to add the bitcoin to your card. (You send it to an address they give you, and then you click on deposit after X confirms (6 confirms with the e-coin/wirex one).
E-Coin: e-coin.io / https://wirexapp.com/ (They have changed from ecoin to wirex)

It works as the same as visa Card.
But I still have to make one BTC card.

That's fucking dope. Is there a fee? If I wanted to take money out, could I do that as well (going to a Wells Fargo/chase/etc atm?)

You have to load the card from your wallet, and there's like a .20 fee for $30 or something, and you can withdraw back into your BTC wallet or cash out as well.

20 cents or .2 btc?

For me it was 20 cents when I loaded in $25.
