Fold is launching their Visa Debit Card in El Salvador, a county that is 70% unbanked. I'm confused.

I fully understand why El Salvador needs Bitcoin. I don't understand why they need a Visa Debit Card they the majority of people can't use. What am I missing?

I'm guessing they did it because:

* Regulations are obviously very favourable so it's easy

* The cost to them is low

* The articles written about it are free advertising for their product

Basically PR value.

you're probably right, it's low cost PR.
