Gift cards vs. crypto: which should you use?

Both gift cards and cryptocurrency let you move value without a traditional bank, but they behave differently.

Gift cards

  • Easy to buy in shops, familiar to most people.
  • Fixed denominations; usually tied to one retailer or network.

Cryptocurrency

  • Borderless and fast; you control it in your own wallet.
  • Irreversible — great against chargebacks, but you must get the address right.

The best of both

On CryptoLarz you don't have to choose: trade a gift card for Bitcoin, or cash crypto out to a gift card. See how to buy Bitcoin with a gift card.
