It's a good step in integrating bitcoin in the society, but it may take sime time before the public can really enjoy the convenience of cryptocurrency. Hope other countries will follow suit.
For clarity, Singapore was just convenient to start, there's no backing from the government. We hope to expand Tangem to many countries as we solve crossborder cryptofiat logistics, which is not yet trivial.
It's just a novelty item that will probably fade away after a while. People are just hyped because it's something new
I also don't really see anything ground breaking here, they're just releasing small paper wallets in essence.
Paper wallets cannot be circulated reliably. Opendime comes close to circulation, but is too complicated to use and not secure enough (in our opinion) for mass adoption. Tangem Notes, we claim, are the first physical instruments ready for billionscale everyday use by everyone who knows how to use paper cash.
That said, I'd probably buy one, just as a collectors item, if I can get my hands on one of them.
