Seems to be a new part of their alternate reality game that is happening as a sidecar to the show, and as a way to tie in the real world to the Mr. Robot world. They have website cyphers, defcon badges, and now e-coins, which don't feel blockchain based to me.

Cool! It's awesome that you actually got the card. Make sure to keep that around, I'm sure it'll be worth something one day.
