More specifically, the holders of the BitcoinBlack Visa crypto credit card get exclusive access to a mansion on the Turks and Caicos Islands, special charter deals provided by Momentum Jets, exclusive private events, as well as 1,300+ airport lounges around the world.

The card rewards every purchase with a cashback of up to 10% in the form of the Spend token ($SPDN). The token can be converted to other cryptocurrencies or redeemed at the Haute Living Luxury Marketplace at a guaranteed 1:1 value to the USD.

“We’re very excited because in addition to being able to spend rewards on incredible luxury items, the marketplace will also allow members to purchase experiences that our team at Haute Living Magazine have created exclusively for them. These are one-of-a-kind events not found anywhere else in the world.” said Kamal Hotchandini, Chief Luxury Officer of BitcoinBlack.

BitcoinBlack was founded in 2021 by Prakash Chand, a serial entrepreneur based out of Toronto. Prakash is known largely for his medical information website Ask The Doctor, which used a Cardano-based token, called AskToken ($ASK).

Despite what some cryptocurrency news outlets have reported, BitcoinBlack is not owned by Visa Inc. The financial and payment cards company merely lets BitcoinBlack use its payment network to facilitate transactions.

Qatar Airways has taken a significant step ahead of the competition by being the first operator to offer Starlink internet on a Boeing 777 aircraft traveling from Doha to London.

As the largest and first airline in the MENA region to offer Starlink’s ultra-high-speed, low-latency internet, Qatar Airways continues to raise the bar for in-flight services after winning the coveted Skytrax “World’s Best Airline” for 2024 award.

Initially, the carrier planned to outfit three Boeing 777 aircraft with Starlink technology. However, by the end of 2024, the airline will have upgraded 12 Boeing 777-300s with this service. Further ahead, the entire Boeing 777 fleet is set to be Starlink-equipped by 2025, one year earlier than originally scheduled, with the Airbus A350 fleet following suit by mid-2025.

This rollout demonstrates Qatar Airways’ dedication to enhancing in-flight connectivity and will enable passengers to stay in touch with family and friends, stream media, watch live sports, work remotely, and even play online games — all at 35,000 feet.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer expressed excitement about the debut flight, stating: “We are thrilled to launch our first Starlink-equipped flight, proving once again why Qatar Airways is at the forefront of the aviation industry”.

He continued, “Paired with our commitment to rapidly rollout Starlink across our entire modern fleet, [Qatar Airways] demonstrates our relentless pursuit of offering passengers an in-flight experience that transcends the constraints of traditional air travel”.

By launching its first Starlink-equipped aircraft, Qatar Airways has achieved several milestones, including operating the world’s first Boeing 777 widebody with the service onboard. Qatar Airways’ strategic partnership with SpaceX ensures passengers will continue to enjoy an unmatched in-flight experience, and not only represents a breakthrough for Qatar Airways but also sets a new standard for in-flight connectivity globally.
