Narrative & Object

This is a near future product designed for bitcoin users (currency, not investment). As a card, it links to your bitcoin account, and provides a usable multi-currency card thats funded by said account. It would also feature the bitcoin value & the converted value on the card itself - we wouldn't want people to have to pull out their phones every time they wish to spend on it. Since we provide Forex conversion, we could potentially also provide the exchange rate being used, and the details of that particular transaction on the card itself. 

We focused on the financial industry because of its overall impact - and the ossification that’s been seen in the industry, at least on the consumer side. Technology behind cards hasn’t changed for a while - and it represents an industry ripe for disruption. Cards today are basically just plastic pieces - pieces that everybody carries and uses. Embedding more tech in them would be incredibly beneficial. From a concerns perspective, it represents the potential impact of getting such a product wrong. While data security & privacy is a big issue, it isn’t considered from a social perspective. While said data may not “hackable” (which is really not true), it may not matter if the data is displayed on the object itself.
