Great project! This will certainly make it easier for the general public to get into this space. I'm a bit worried about the 6% fee, however. I think this may break adoption as it is much higher than other entry points into the market. I understand the convenience and familiarity aspect of buying a "gift card" containing BTC and other currencies, but what's stopping any other big exchange from offering the same product at a lower rate? Coinbase for instance charges 4% for credit card payments and have already established an exchange. They would also not require an intermediate coin for the transaction. What do you think?
Hi there!
We offer a new option to buy cryptocurrency for everyone locally, next to for example Bitcoin ATM's. Where you might think that 6% might seem steep, please have a look at the following links:

Also note that we will implement a burn of 1% of these 6% fees until the total amount of available tokens has reached 20'000'000 (due to our burning).
Please let us know if there is anything else unclear!
