BuyAnyCoin: Prepaid cryptocurrency card in a nearby store

Startup BuyAnyCoin (BAC) is going to offer prepaid cards to the market that will be sold in the same way as prepaid phone cards, etc. cards in convenience stores.

Thor Thurneau, founder of BAC, writes:

Imagine: you go to a local shop, take a bottle of water and go to the cashier. Your peripheral vision picks up a cute card that says "Buy any cryptocurrency." You ask the cashier what this thing is and get the answer: "You just need to redeem this voucher on their website to get such popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin."

BAC cards can be purchased with bank cards and of course with cash, which will be attractive for users who do not leave traces in bank statements.

Those who bought BAC cards can then log in on the BAC website, choose the desired cryptocurrency for which they would like to exchange the balance of their prepaid card. The BuyAnyCoin Beta system currently supports Bitcoin , Litecoin and Ripple, but plans to add support for other cryptocurrencies, such as Dash , Nxt, and BitShares soon.



Thurneau continues:

The implementation of the BuyAnyCoin strategy will allow ordinary people to finally get physical access to the world of cryptocurrencies. This is the best possible way of popularization, giving consumers the opportunity to join the use of new technologies using their usual way of making purchases.

Raising funds for BuyAnyCoin through Indiegogo will last until July 3, 2015. Potential participants should keep in mind that no receiving cryptocurrency addresses have been published to receive donations. If you want to make a transfer using cryptocurrency - you can contact them through Twitter BuyAnyCoin and get the address.

It is worth mentioning that in January, more than 24,000 convenience stores in South Korea, including 7eleven, began selling Bitcoin gift cards as part of the South Korean stock exchange Coinplug project.
