Prypto Scratch Cards to hit stores soon

We have all been into the local store and seen the plethora of facebook, itunes and other such cards..
Well, now we can soon expect to see Crypto Currency cards on the same rack – this will make owning Crypto as easy as topping up your phone, buying Itunes Credit or buying credit for the latest facebook game!

This is great news! Think about the value this would add – Crypto Currencies are right now generally only reserved to those in the know (early adopters) well – imagine if your best friend, neighbor or better still – your customer had Crypto available – you could easily see how this will increase the amount of consumers with available currencies…

Cryptocurrency has revolutionized the concept of money. However, people are often reluctant to believe that virtual money can ever replace the physical fiat currency they have grown accustomed to. Even though most people use a variety of digital money services, such as online banking and PayPal, they still think of money in terms of paper currency. Companies must find ways to make cryptocurrency tangible if they hope to convince the average consumer to adopt it as a portion of their financial portfolio.

Prypto, an Irish startup, believes that it can fill this void by developing physical cryptocurrency scratch cards, which consumers can purchase from brick-and-mortar retailers such as grocery stores or gas stations. The developers of Prypto state that prepaid phone cards inspired them to create their scratch cards. Prepaid phone cards make telephone minutes, an intangible product, into something physical that consumers can purchase in stores and even transfer to others. Though used far less than they once were, most people are still familiar with the concept. Prypto hopes to capitalize on this familiarity to make cryptocurrency tangible to those who are new to cryptocurrency or uncomfortable with the concept of digital money in general.

Much like prepaid phone cards, Prypto cards contain a hidden code that consumers reveal by scratching off the protective covering with a coin. Card owners can then either enter the code at CryptoScratchCards.com and send the funds to their personal wallet address or use the code to pay for a purchase at any online store that accepts Prypto-mediated payments.
