Spending Bitcoin Through a Credit Card~ The New Wire X Visa

in #bitcoin7 years ago

International~ Sleek

We got our new Wire X Visa in the mail today. Its much sexier than the last one. WE prefer this all black look as it matches our other cards. So far so good, we have used Bitcoin and Steem to pay for tires, buy a drone, grocery shopping and the rest. This has made Bitcoin and the tokens from Steemit as useable as the USD. Wire X has done a great job. Although you now have to go thorough all the verification for your cards. It is likely we will see more laws and regulations like this put into affect.

Wire X~

If you are looking for an easy way to access your BTC and Steemit funds. Check out Wire X. They have an easy to use platform. The cards look great and even travelling in Central America I havent had any problems with the card. Although I have had their website go down once or twice, if your card is funded, you are good to go. So far we love the ease of use, especially how it connects our steem earnings to our weekly living. Its truly amazing. If you want to learn more about the cards its fees and get 25% of the ordering of your first card and a free virtual one!

Arcane Conclusion

These are one of the first big steps. Its starting to make its way to mainstream. The blockchain revolution has begun and the doors are open. Its only a matter of time before it starts flowing even faster into the mainstream community. When even a little of the flood gates open of the stock market companies trying to enter this sphere it will explode. After 202 Bitcoin could be worth millions theoretically. Even if it took over only 1% of the total Forex markets. Thats amazing. Welcome to the future.

I love seeing stuff like this. It makes it much more friendly to regular people.

absolutely right!

In the UK we are struggling to use any kind of crypto currency to buy everyday things.... We can purchase a voucher using bitcoin to spend on Amazon, but have yet to find a workable solution to use money elsewhere..... we did go into a small shop and were talking about bitcoin during conversation. The shopkeeper heard us talking and said that he would allow us to pay using bitcoin. It was a first for him and for us.... so exciting!!!! To be able to use a card like this would be amazing.... fingers crossed the UK learns to embrace crypto currency in the same way other countries have, rather than treating it as an underground threat to the economy and criminalising the use of crypto currencies!!!!

I did a bit of reading after I posted and they look awesome. I'll order through the link once my portfolio has built a bit as my investments are still only small. Have saved the link to my phone so thanks for that xxx

Of course, glad to hear you checked it out. Have fun!

FREEDOM!!

Almost, the kingdom is rough around the edges. Sooooonnn though

Although is only a Debit Card, since you have to fund it first.
But it´s great to do it with cryptocurrency

yeah of course, same with my gold backed credit cards, tahts how the game works untill we change into bitcoin entirely!

This is a very nice article, thats a intresting subject to know about. Well just wrote a blog list of BTC's, hopefully u can check it out.
@Styxer

We still don't have ours after a month!

I received my BitPay VISA card yesterday, funny it looks exactly like your card, except with the BitPay logo!

Great, So glad to hear, we would love to hear your experience with your card!

Congrats! Did they mail it to you in CR or did it arrive to a US mailing address? It costs you $50 for the card? Thanks.

They can only mail to your verified address I beleive. LIke normal bank KYC. Than I had it shipped down here. The card expdited shipping was around 50$ yes. i think 20$ normal speed. I had it delievered to CR seperatley

New regulations on the card have put a limit of $200 USD on my card. I don't know if that's for every one but I would look into it for anyone interested .

Yes, almost all companies will require a KYC. This is somewhat Standard. The future of how we choose to bank, is still not decided. Simply trying to posistion ahead of the waves

i use a card similar
