I've got two credit cards, a Visa and a MasterCard, both of them backed by my Bitcoin wallet. Where's the problem? I can pay with Bitcoin anywhere I could've paid with Visa/Mastercard .. this isn't about BtC vs. Visa/Mastercard. Its about BtC vs. US$, &etc.

What you are saying is that "I can pay with currency $x anywhere, I just need to exchange it first" If you use Visa/MasterCard, you will not pay _in_ BTC but in dollars/euros/whatever.

  I pay in BtC. The card provider does the conversion automatically - but I, personally, pay in BtC. I have nothing to do with US$.

    Is there a guide I can use to set this up?

      http://wirexapp.com/ http://wirexapp.com/ There are quite a few others, but this is the one I know about.

        They list the current price of BTC at $2,456.15 on that page. Hope it's out of date and not the exchange rate they use ;-)

        Um yeah, that might be something local. For me it shows $9,704.50, which is pretty close to what coinmarketcap is showing ..
