Today I was feeling inspired by 's post, "Access Your Bitcoin Using the Wirex Bitcoin Debit Card", so I signed up for the Wirex service.
Sign up could not have been simpler; however, I was a bit confused when I arrived at the web app homepage. It appears the service is still not available via the web app (see screenshot below), but this was just a minor setback.
I downloaded the mobile app and within 5 minutes I had loaded my account with bitcoin, received and funded a virtual debit card, and ordered a physical debit card that should arrive in the mail at my post office box here in Panama. So basically with zero hassle I am now ready to spend cryptocurrency online and in physical stores that accept MasterCard - that is absolutely amazing!
Services like Wirex are going to help push cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Steem into the mainstream.
Thanks to for promoting this service on Steemit and spreading the word.
Now let's spend some bitcoin!
First thing I'm going to buy when the card arrives is some Sancocho...
What will you buy?
