Bitpay/Blocktrades now only charging $10 to convert $120 worth of steem to $110 worth of SPENDABLE US dollars on Bitpay Visa Debit Card + @web-gnar Africa Wealth GIF of @tj4real
It's getting really really cheap to convert steem over to Bitcoin and then Bitcoin over to US dollars on our Bitpay Cards here in USA and any other nation those work. If you are going to use this service I would recommend just finding out your budget for the whole month and doing one big top up, instead of doing 10 different $100 top ups an paying for each BTC tx fee just do one big $1000 top up and save on the fees... But because Bitcoin price has gone down the BTC tx fees are really cheap now, around $5, and that is going to go DOWN because COINBASE is about to enable SEGWIT wallets, like the ledger nano already does, when @btcvenom and I use our ldger nano they are only a few bucks and take a few minutes, and when Coinbase adds this segwit or segregated Witness we will see ALL bitcoin fees DROP oh yeah, its going to make the FUD people go liek whuuuuuut.... Bitcoin is CHEAP again? yeah and its going to help ALL crypto!
https://news.bitcoin.com/coinbase-is-adding-segwit-support/
The Transactions LOOk like they are going down but it is only because of BATCHING doing multiple transactions in ONE BIG transaction, the total number or users making actual transactions is going up and people are using Bitcoin more than ever and the fees are lower than ever for this much activity and segwit NOR lightening network hasn't really even started yet on a large scale level!
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7w2n64/only_4500_unconfirmed_transactions/
This reddit post from reddit.com/r/bitcoin shows only 4500 unconfirmed transactions for Bitcoin (as of 3 days ago) compared to just a few months ago being over 100,000.... so as we can see, Bitcoin is doing fine even before we start seeing Coinbase activated segwit and knock fees down even lower AND THEN lightening network will happen and fees will almost disapear! We will even have NEGATIVE fees where you will get PAID to HOLD bitcoin so there will be HUGE incentive to just HOLD bitcoin and services will come out that offer STEADY rates of profit without the risk of loosing any money during a Bitcoin Crash... what I mean is that Tether will be used and people will get a chance to make guaranteed profit with no loss if they volunteer to forfeit any potential massive gains from Bitcoin....
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7wmtss/the_bitcoin_lightning_network_has_arrived_hodl/
These new incentives to use Bitcoin and lower fees combined with Lightening Network's 'streaming money" and negative fees where you get paid to just hold Bitcoin and have people route their transactions through you, will bring a new incentive to HOLD Bitcoin WITHOUT any risk just to MAKE extra money, something a regular bank account could never do. So people won't be able to say no to holding Bitcoin just like Tesla and Edison and Westinghouse made it impossible to refuse buying electricity or like how the 90s made it impossible to refuse the internet! This is BIGGER than internet and maybe bigger than electricity because now the worlds poor will get a chance to actually be included, technology will be evenly distributed, the future is already here it just isn't widely distributed yet!
Even the city of Berkeley California home of famous UC Berkeley University, is thinking of doing a cryptocurrency ICO, albeit for retarded reasons to rebel against their Trump apointed UC Administrator but whatever, UC Berkely is the CAPITAL of SJW crazy leftists so its fine.

Remember these EOS LED trucks in Miami Florida a few months back? I DEMAND we do this for Steem and ZCL/Bitcoin private !
See even Rich the Kid and Kendrick Lamar are promoting EOS in their new music video New Freezer ! They even have a freakin electric car shaped as EOS logo!
And on a side note, South Korean Winter Olympics that no one cared about had some insane Drone Holograms in the sky, I had this idea and posted about it on Steem, along w ith my Sky Writing idea, to have drones in the sky and use them like 3d pixels, now we must do this for the steem and Bitcoin and EOS logos!

And here is the NEXT big Meme Gif that will showcase @tj4real as the Golden African King of Steem!
This will be amazing and we will make African Steemians look like super stars and get them FAMOUS within Africa and online EVERYWHERE, I cannot wait to send @web-gnar some more instructions! I just sent him 1 Steem for the Work in progress as its looking VERY good!
(Image is of @tj4real the LEADER of the Team Ghana group who is creating the GOLDEN PATH for Ghanian Steemians!
Here is the screenshot of the 1 Steem i just sent to @web-gnar just a lil bonus, and I will give him a lot more upvotes, features, resteems and more liquid Steem or SBD when he posts the finished memes, if ANYONE has GOOD ideas I will pay @web-gnar to make the animated GIFs!
(Image courtesy of @jonny-clearwater on http://steemspeak.com @fyrstikken 's discord chat full of many whales)
And I just sent 3 steem to @desmiond41 + 3 steem to @steem4depoor and 5 steem to @emmanueloppong ALL thanks to @surfyogi and his recent donation of steem to my organization which as you can see is being distributed to hard working team Ghana members who will make posts about these payments and how they will be using them to further steem in their region, making much more off post rewards from posts about this event than the value of the steem sent! I have no doubt @surfyogi and I will make all of this steem back from team Ghana members in many different ways!
This steem was their Bonus for meeting with me in the @mughat discord room here https://discord.gg/pMEWSBv (and check his Blog and mine for more Aynn Rand Virtues of Selfishness Essay contests where you can get a big $10 upvote if you show you understand her concepts! Instructions will be posted or come to his discord for clarification! And @emmanueloppong was on http://steemspeak.com showing his progress, to counter some jokes about Ghanians being Scammers (thank you Vice Documentary! ) we will make our OWN Steemit Sakawa Comedy Sketch showing Steemians in Ghana going to a fake voodoo priest to pray and pay for good luck on their steemit post and get thousands of dollars worth of upvotes! It will be a funny comedy sketch and we will take advantage of the idea of Ghanians and Nigerians being internet scammers and culturally appropriate the ideas for our own advantage and make honest money out of it using the steem blockchain!

I am not using bitcoin to buy steem or withdraw steem using blocktrades. These bitcoin fees are so high even though it is $10 on average now.
Using litecoin is better option using blocktrades to buy or sell steem/sbd
tnx for upvote
@cryptokraze I agree with you and I must admit I have not been following you that closely lately and I probably should be since I am missing out on some great Info and the nice UP Votes I could be receiving. Have a wonderful weekend.
Sorry but there is no Litecoin Option for Bitpay, they have Bitcoin Cash wallets are will be allowing top ups from Bitcoin Cash soon so yeah that will be the option
This article was about cashing out specifically with the bitpay card, obviously litecoin is cheaper :facepalm:
There is no litecoin option for cashing out with Bitpay card lol but yes if they add litecoin or if they had a litecoin debit card that would be great
do u have a litecoin debot card? I would love for that to be an option or bitcon cash debit card
But look Lightening network is here and as it grows fees will get negatuive u will get paid just to hodl Bitcoi and let peopel route transactions THROUGH your transactions done in batches etc
also COinbase is enabling SEGWIT wallets so youll e able to make FAST CHEAP trasnactions it will effect the WHOLE bitcoin network fees will drop to under $1 and transactions will take minute or two
Anyway here is new GIF by @web-gnar for @tj4real in #teamghana WOOOOOO
@ackza This GIF its just amazing how @tj4real enjoys his throne nice one @web-gnar, he deserve it
Wow
Great information in your posts, @ackza. I've learned a lot from reading them and you are always up to date with the latest information.
I'm looking forward to cheaper BTC transactions. My BitPay card has been getting dusty for a the last few months.
Steem is slowly gathering momentum ... next wave up should be very interesting indeed!
More exploits...... Steem is slowly taking over the crypto world
Hey, how have you been? this is a great post .. I need to set up a card, seems there are so many things to do.
http://bitpay.com/card order the card today it costs just a one time $10 Bitcoin payment to pay for the card and process you into their system, and you just fill out the form and give them your social security number (for the Metropolitan Bank Visa system ) and your home address and thats it, they send you the card and I recomend not using it more than $8,000 in a year to avoid needing to pay taxes IF they ask.. if you need to cash out use a local bitcoin dealer or a bitcoin ATM that doesnt ask for ID, its gonna get annoying when they start expecting evryone to pay taxes EVEN if they are selling at a LOSS like EVERY bitcoin sale on bitpay i made! Its always been at a loss ive neevr sold aftyer profuit, so if we get sent some tax forms fuck that do NOT fill out ANY tax forms NEVER reveal jhow much you have, no one can PROVE that you own ANY crypto unless YOU admit to it!
Sorry for my rant lol heres an upvote
I would just like somewhere to buy steem directly, and that would raise the price of steem as well. Also encouraging more exchanges to use it as a main trading pair would increase it's value.
http://localaltcoins.co and start posting on steem they show up here when u add tag #localaltcoins and the city in the tag and yeha man
#koh wants to do this and accept venmo p[aypal etc for steem and vica versa AND use prepauid American express serv cards would work
we should just setup localsteem.com and copy localbitcoin interface and make it ADS only no escrow system OR we CAN use esteem for escrow it has escrow built in man
Sucks that the domain name is taken.
thank you for sharing @ackza :)
help upvotes im post y
Wow good job. I like you post
Nice job putting all this. Nigerians are great people not the other way round.
