https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/26/17616984/coinbase-bitcoin-cryptocurrency-europe-gift-card-cash-retailers > Major bitcoin exchange Coinbase launched a feature yesterday that lets its European customers buy virtual gift cards with cryptocurrency. By partnering with a London-based gift card startup called WeGift, Coinbase now offers gift cards that can be spent at over 120 retailers, which could solve the problem of many stores not accepting cryptocurrency. > Most stores still don’t accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment, but with this feature you can work around that. When you purchase a gift card through the program, there’s often a small bonus percentage of one to nine percent that WeGift will offer you, and Coinbase promises to charge zero withdrawal fees for converting your cryptocurrency this way. It’s honestly a tempting deal that could attract some people who aren’t holding onto their investments in hopes of prices rising again.
