I am curious to know if anyone has gotten into crypro currency and have you used it to purchase cards?

No to both your questions but I must admit I was a little upset when the currency miners drove up the price of graphics cards a couple weeks before I was planning to upgrade my computer. Dang the free market and supply and demand .

Ok, this old fogey is clueless as to what this is, but I'm assuming it's a move toward a cashless society?

No Commish, it's more like a move towards governmentless money.
Although, it only exists electronically, so I guess it could be an evolution of the cashless system.

It's also the continued decentralization of everything (shared computing,crowd sourcing, crowd funding, etc).
But to answer OP's question, I missed the ground floor on crypto (at least with BitCoin, which I suppose has established itself as the standard), so I haven't invested in crypto or made any purchases. I haven't done a lot of research, but it doesn't seem like any of the major online shops accept crypto currency.

I was a member of ETOPPS and still have some cards on there actually. I can really see topps trying get into the whole "blockchain" thing. I mean even companies like emusic digital music downloads is going on the blockchain.
