The American economy increasingly looks like one big casino. Even former President Trump has acknowledged elements of this shift in recent comments, stating, “You know, the whole world, unfortunately, has become somewhat of a casino.” It may be a bad sign that Trump is one of the few people in history to manage to bankrupt a casino. In recent years, crypto memecoins have exploded in popularity, sports gambling has gone mainstream, prediction markets operate with frequent insider advantages, and people borrow money for DoorDash deliveries. Critics have highlighted these trends for years. A new gamified crypto debit card now offers the latest example, sold under the slogan “buy now, pay maybe.” Tuyo markets itself as a DeFi-powered Visa debit card built around the USDC stablecoin on Coinbase’s Base blockchain network. Users hold funds in a self-custodied wallet and can opt into Earn strategies that generate yields via selected DeFi protocols. The card works like a standard debit product in most ways: purchases draw directly from available balances, with no credit extended and no overdrafts possible. Deposits and withdrawals support multiple chains, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon. The company handles fiat conversions through regulated partners and charges a foreign-exchange spread below 1% plus standard network fees in some cases.
