are any of the breakout companies currently/going to be accepting fiat? or selling breakout chips for fiat, or is it strictly brk and you have to get them from an exchange?
No, you will not have to go to the real money Breakout sites with BRK on hand. For those who don't already have BRK or don't have experience dealing with crypto exchanges, there will be fiat payment processing available - as many choices as possible.
