It finally landed in my hands. I remember raising my hand on X through a post by @threespeak when they casually asked who wanted one. I imagine @starkerz took pity on this humble editor and made it happen. Crazy thing is, we met in person last year at LABITCONF in Buenos Aires, and he wasn’t carrying any of the cards at the time. So yeah, this piece of plastic traveled far before touching down here. First impressions matter, and the minimalist design on the front is both unique and global: it features the Brazilian Football Association’s crest, “Hive Debit” stamped on the lower left, and a nod to legacy payment brands with a hybrid logo that fuses HIVE and BITCOIN in the top right corner. And who finally handed it off to this writer? That’d be @edmundochauran. Who knows how many hands this card passed through before reaching me—but if you happened to be one of those links in the chain, I owe you a solid.

One of the gaps in our native chain used to be Bitcoin interoperability and its massive toolbox for transparent value exchange. That’s been solved for a while now, but most Hivers haven’t leveled up yet. For instance—did, You know you can get a digital Hive debit card without ever touching the plastic?

One of the most inspiring circular economy efforts has come out of @hivesucre and its powerhouse community of Hivers. In that Venezuelan state, tons of local businesses have teamed up with @spendhbd to use @distriator as a payment gateway. But the rollout hit some bumps inside our borders, and the biggest one was unpacked by @ecoinstant in his write-up [HBD and Dollars in Latin America](https://peakd.com/hive-122315/@ecoinstant/hbd-and-dollars-in-latin-amercia-issues-treatment-and-concerns). He broke down the tangled web that’s put @hivesucre’s work on pause. It’s crucial we spotlight this, because as a global owner-operated community, we need to stay sharp on what’s impacting @hiveio and all our witnesses. These are good-faith investments aimed at pushing the very interoperability we’ve been talking about all along.

The photo up top was taken at Mochima National Park, one of our stops during a trip to Venezuela’s eastern coast. It was the day after I met with Edmundo, and in that place, we felt a kind of freedom that’s hard to describe. I had the HIVE Debit Card in my wallet and couldn’t stop thinking about how tech has flipped our lives upside down. I’m from the generation that lived through 8-inch floppies and punch cards. I’ve had the privilege of watching the shift unfold over time. When the internet scaled as a solution, we knew we were witnessing a revolution like no other. I was skeptical—just like anyone—when crypto exploded onto the global economy. I showed up eight years late to the ecosystem, but I’m still eight years ahead of those who haven’t jumped in yet. Owning payment tools that bypass traditional banking? That’s priceless. @hivedebit is the result of that freedom I felt. Still haven’t landed in Web3? You’ve got time.
