In 2008 Bitcoin was launched as a medium of exchange. But within the next few years, the crypto industry changed in such a way that the original purpose of Bitcoin faded, and it became an investment vehicle and a store of value. People started adopting cryptocurrency considering it digital gold.

Cryptocurrencies continue to grow into mainstream adoption, and one of the ways this manifests is via crypto debit cards. Like regular debit cards, these allow you to spend money from an account by swiping your card (or entering the numbers from it). The big difference is that instead of this card linking to your bank account, it connects to one of your crypto wallets.
