Most credit card rewards programs suck, but debit card rewards programs? Those don’t really exist. That is.. with the exception of a killer new payments stack and prepaid debit card by the name of Fold.
Not only does Fold exist, it might turn out to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sign up, transfer some cash into your account, spend money like you normally would, spin a wheel, and get free bitcoin. It’s that simple.

If you’ve been in Bitcoin a while, you’ve almost certainly by now had someone tell you that you should “run your own node”. But what exactly does that mean and why would you want to do it? And, most importantly, how would you go about doing that? Let’s talk about these things…
You’ve seen the arguments that Bitcoin is going to boil the oceans.

For the first time — as far as I’m aware — we are watching a sovereign nation grapple with the implications of Bitcoin in live time. Senators convened in Nigeria today to discuss a variety of topics, including cryptocurrency, and openly opined about how to respond to the worldwide decentralized currency…
A story has been making the rounds today about a criminal in Germany that held over $60 million in Bitcoin before being arrested. Incredibly, the media still doesn’t understand what it means to “own” Bitcoin, claiming that the government “confiscated” the funds but “can’t unlock” them…
Last week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk put #bitcoin in his Twitter profile, for the first time signaling something of an endorsement for the decentralized, peer-to-peer cryptoasset. Tonight, Elon is stepping into a Clubhouse room for the first time, and chances are he’s going to chat a bit about Bitcoin. Follow along for our live coverage of the Clubhouse chat and everything Elon says.
Mark Cuban, like many other tech magnates, has a bit of a history when it comes to his take on Bitcoin. It’s fluctuated from near total dimissal to excited embrace to… what now seems to be something of a coherent thought published on his own blog.
