Henryk Dabrowski, CEO of Alternet Systems, said: "Access to digital currency via a debit or credit card is a key step in the evolution of Bitcoin and its integration with Fiat currencies such as the US Dollar. It is our intent to partner with major service providers of Bitcoin wallets and financial institutions to establish the distribution of our new card.
