While this is a great initiative, I would advise putting some evidence in the proposal that a tender was done to compare several cards to ensure this money goes to whichever provider will get hiveans the best rates on their crypto purchases and cards and swaps.
The ideal deal here is zero installation costs and a fee to the provider on swaps only (while I know that this is an unlikely scenario, it’s what we should be hoping to get towards to ensure we spend our money on the cheapest possible, technically acceptable service).
So would be good to see what deal other providers are willing to provide us before we spend any money on this great initiative
Why not just pay the $20,000 and reach out to other payment solutions at the same time. @zypto already works very well and has users (like me) who love it and I'd will promote this integration on the weekly. We can show the content to other card providers so they see what we're about.

is there a place to see a list of other providers and their rates / fees / implementation costs so its easy to compare. (obvs, its likely that this option is the best deal, but it should be confirmed before proceeding).
