Letβs see who nailed my fold bullishness
I'm curious!

π© The company said they are already making a profit on the fees every time someone swipes the new credit card.
π© They are using this early period to test things out before launching the credit card to the public later this summer!
π© Getting rid of that debt saves them $145,000 every single month in interest fees.
π© Users who have the credit card are shopping a lot, card transactions per user went up 4 times
π© I would say youβre definitely excited about them completely eliminating that $20 million in secured bitcoin-backed debt under the Two Prime facility.
