Getting merchants to accept Bitcoin has been a uphill battle even for some of the well funded payment processor. We gave a good example of NFC payments being stuck at a standstill before booming to new heights because of London Transport. Same can happen with Bitcoin if the technology makes it more common for everyday use. Merchants will follow the trend as they have done in the past. But even if they don't, you can still pay with Bitcoin and they will receive fiat at the NFC checkout terminal, which is why we built Plutus to help the community spend their Bitcoin at any merchant they want instead of having to wait for widespread merchant adoption.

From our comments above and the recent QA on reddit (https://redd.it/3sabrd) anyone will notice Plutus is absolutely intended for users who get paid in bitcoin, earn bitcoin through mining, receive bitcoin remittances, or travel a lot. Unlike fiat, the bitcoin is converted to local currency automatically. This especially addresses freelancers, the unbanked and anyone who doesn't want handover their coins to a third party to manage.

well that was wishy washy of not answering..

so hello localbitcoin,xapo 2.0.. maybe worth you dropping the gimmick of 'retailers accepting bitcoin'..

as thats like saying my UK Visa debit is suddenly a mechanism for US retailers to accept pounds.. when we all know visa auto converts the currency so the retailer receives the dollars they want..

i think you would have more success just describing your business offerings honestly and correctly as all these gimmicky pretenses wont win you trust.
just stick to calling yourself a bitcoin debit card that converts to fiat... avoid trying to suggest retailers accepting bitcoin.. and you might have more fame by sticking to the true service offering..

have a nice day.

I get it! Make a deposit and in return, buyer on the network funds my virtual debit card. As someone who earns a weekly wage in bitcoin all I (the user) care about is if I can spend my coins without too much hassle. This solves my problem. Genius!
