Buying gift cards is the same as cashing out but worse in every way. Pre-converting to a limited-use intermediate currency and then spending that intermediate currency isn't the same as spending bitcoin.

I notice that their "stake" requirements are listed in USD, not CRO, and that this runs through both Visa and Metropolitan Commercial Bank to do centralized back-end conversions into and out of their bespoke coin. It sounds a lot like the blockchain aspect adds literally nothing to the equation and is just there to ride the buzzword FOMO zeitgeist.
