I'm not really familiar with how VISA/MasterCard work, but I'd like to know if there's a way to use them and pay in bitcoin or any other crypto currency. My main interest is paying for exams/application fees for my post graduate studies, so small limit on account transactions aren't a big problem.
There are some options on the market today (Wirex, Xapo, Uquid we have other lesser known as well) which is only you send your balance in btc (prepaid cards) that they give a visa card for you can use in any establishment. I did not get to consult the rules and the rates of the card but generally they are well inferior to the conventional banks, taking away also the fact of being something quite revolutionary the type of service.
