Ha, my initial reaction to @abcoathup sharing them was that they were super corny... and anything I instantly recoil against is usually something worth trying.

Yep, and they still request that I call them any time I want to disable the protection or unlock my account. International, physical phone-line calls.

Started Portugese lessons today. Ola amigos.

Looking forward to this @APompliano!

This is the 5th time VISA has locked me out of spending my own money.

I have called them up multiple times to ask them to turn off the scam protection. They only offer it for 48 hours…

Even crazier is the fact that if someone steals the card it's all bueno! They can drain my entire account with physical purchases. But valid card info for an online purchase? No can do…

I can't wait until #crypto becomes standard!

Met up with @curthopkins today and learned more about his business, KoinRewards. Very cool concept worth following - B corp loyalty card!

The man was generous enough to shout me a beer, so I paid it forward - in the form of helping Carla, my yoga teacher and fellow Oceanic expat, install @trust on her phone.

This is how you get true #cryptoAdoption!

Whyever did they get rid of it?

What's up?
