No, this card also has fees so high that it's unusable.

Even if you manage to avoid monthly fees:
- for each purchase made with the card you pay 0.002 BTC + 1% fee
- for each ATM withdrawal you pay 0.01 BTC + 3% fee

I guess you and I have different definitions for the word unusable. I personally think that 1% fee is nothing in comparison to the privilege of having live bitcoins on your debit card. I'm not going to switch 100% on this card but I will use up my limits for an extra pocket money while remaining somewhat under the radar for the powers that like to spy on people and on their purchases.
