@crystalpacheco did you see that a few days ago a Steemit gift card place was launched? We can now get a Steemit Visa gift card in the US! It looks easy and maybe bypasses this problem? @aggroed tried it so I feel like its safe :) I am not going to cash anything out till I have more SBD or until the value goes up again, but as soon as that happens I am going to try it!
