First US-wide Visa debit card you can load using Bitcoin (bitpay.com)

Buying bitcoins just to load them into card and spend in regular shop. Makes no sense since you can cut out the middleman and spend them directly via Credit/Debit Card.

Also xapo was offering this long time ago and there is nothing disruptive in bitcoin loaded card (since visa is doing card balance accounting in USD and paying merchants in USD)
