Abstract

A method for transferring goods from a digital+bitcoin (d+b) stored value transaction instrument-supporting vendor to a user device, or a device user, such as a d+b stored value transaction instrument is provided. The device may be registered with a cryptocurrency provider and a value allocation. The method may include receiving a user request configured for a cryptocurrency-based transaction; transmitting a consent to transact the cryptocurrency-based transaction and, in response to the transmitting, receiving, from the user device, a Quick Response (QR) code. The code specifies, at least: a) an amount of cryptocurrency; and b) a product or a service to be exchanged for the amount of cryptocurrency. The method may also receive a biometric characteristic that confirms the transaction. The method may then receive the amount of cryptocurrency via the d+b stored value transaction instrument, and transmit a confirmation of receipt of the cryptocurrency.
