as far as i understood , are tokenpay working together with "deutsche bank" in order to release debit cards wtih verge being the choosen currency.
re the verge partnership: i read somewhere that the partner is a payment provider...so it will never be deutsche bank or fidor bank. fidor bank isnt that huge , detusche bank on the other hand is a monster in germany(and not only germany), but i dont think they partner with verge.
i remember sunerok said in a video, that everyone knows the company...my wildest guess would be paypal. i see it as the only big well known company/payment provider to take such a deal.
imo verge is a "solid" project with a huge twitter follower base...big companies looking out for such things as social media presence. tell me another coin who has such a presence, is still in a low price range and could make such a deal happen. i dont see many to be honest.
but whatever, lets see what the 16th/17th has in store for us.
Why would PayPal accept Verge out of all cryptocurrencies out there?
It's not fucking PayPal.
PayPal doesn't care about privacy nor does it care about cryptocurrency and if it did, it would accept Bitcoin, not Verge.
It's not PayPal and it's not Amazon.
Take another guess.
it was mentioned, that the potential partner did not choose verge because its a privacy coin but rather because of their follower base on social media/community. i never mentioned amazon, you said that. i also dont think its them, but paypal is plausible.
but reading your post, your are pretty sure its not paypal..do you have any source/links for this statement?
cheers
i personally see the logic behind that comment and i agree with you that the huge follower base my attact a company like paypal. I mean in a sudden you would have things rolling, no need to run long expensive marketing campaigns to make that product/feature available, it will spread itself in lightspeed. And you would have immediatly a lot of users using that feature. It would make sense from paypals point of view for sure. I'am pretty sure at paypal they have got a pretty good risk management as well.
However, we do not know. BUT if its paypal, it would be a huge turbo boost for Verge for sure. And again, all others would profit beside that as well, maybe not that much as with Deutsche Bank or Amazon, but still, it would be good for everybody in the crypto world having such deal.
Its another thing how reliable Verge is as a partner ..... Time will show who was nearest with his guess :-)
volume is high...thats a good sign. lets hope for the best
