Today, were excited to introduce the first US-issued bitcoin debit card, the Shift Card. The Shift Card is a VISA debit card that currently allows Coinbase users in twenty-four states in the U.S. to spend bitcoin online and offline at over 38 million merchants worldwide.

Wow. That really expands the number of stores you can spend Bitcoin at!

I hope they have fairer fees than the other Bitcoin credit cards.

Otherwise it won't affect the usage

And the coins will be easier to spend, so more sell pressure

I never got my head around the argument that less spending (=usage) of Bitcoin would somehow be benficial. Seems like a very short-term view to me.
