July 5th 2018 Top Up on my Bitpay Visa Card via Steem to Blocktrades to Bitcoin Cash was a BREEZE and should be the main method of spending Steem/SBD (or ANY crypto for that matter) so do NOT fear the idea of LIVING off your crypto. Bitpay is your friend

Do not fear the idea of living off your cryptocurrency, because I am able to cash out whatever coin i need via @blocktrades, especially steem or SBD, and send it to Bitcoin Cash right to my Bitpay Visa debit card which then allows me to spend that Bitcoin Cash (Or Bitcoin) as US DOllars, or take the cash out at any ATM. It is as easy as using a paypal or mobile banking app and if we had our own Steemit edition of the Bitpay Card, bitpay could allow for a special upgrade t their wallet app tpo allow steemconnect or @blocktrades integration so that we could actually link our steem accounts and make it easier for us t send money with Bitpay, so they ould of course be all for this idea. We could print Steem logos on the Bitpay Cards and have Bitpay let us issue them to Steemians by using the same method they issue regular Bitpay cards. By using Blocktrades we can basically make a Bitpay cards STEEM card, and when we have MILLIONS of new users, we pay WANT to actually get a Prepaid debit card partner for the existing @steempay project. I just feel like we are looking at things the wrong way when we are fearing big regulatory hurdles like paying $100k to become a debit card issuer or exchange for steem for fiat to steem/sbd. Instead we just use something like American Express Serv cards which do Fiat to Fiat serv to serv for free, and we match it up with our own system, @yensesa can even help with that or integrate it themselves and @yensesa could help provide AMERICAN Steem Customers with debit cards to cash out in the west! Or an existing Bitcoin debit card provider like Bitpay can just be partnered up and just integrate blocktrades via steemconnect and BOOOM we simply allow for a Bitpay card to BECOME a Steem Debit card and IT WILL when we just use Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash for top ups, and hey maybe we could even add steem for top ups but bitcoin cash was actually only added because i was so similar to Bitcoin. I believe Steem could be more easily added externally via blocktrades. Bitpay will add XRP first.

Wonder how these cards / system work in Canada - going to do some digging. On a side note I've powered up near 40 SP since our last chat in your comments. Hoping to make it an additional 50 next week!

Just get a big loan, buy some Bitcoin and buy steem power it up, and thank me later for going against the common esne.

"Oh no, dont ever take a loan out to go long on the technology you KNOW is going to chante the world... oh no just be a rothschild virgin and never take any risks "

Hey but seriously th good job for investing more steem

But if you do have any fiat ayt all, now is not the time tyo be conservative, take out as many loans as you can and buy as much bitcoin as you can buy steem, take action! take risks! What do you think steem will NOT work out? Of course it will! dso lets whale up while we can for cheap!

Funny thing is you could take a big loan, power up steem go bankrupt then leave the country. Live off of steem. Don't take my advice!

Can you do a video where you Test these with chemicals to show they are real? IThey just dont look right... but i bet they are real silver... no idea why you would go through the trouble to make fakes ... makes no sense for long game... but these look like batteries lol but i still love it!

the fact that it looks like this was your firts time minting silver bars and coins makes it that much cooler

doesnt fucking matter how messe up the bars may be, its still silver :D hah but u know if you can get the coins minted nicer you could sell them for alot more.

What if you engraved a Steem Wallet on each one filled with 1 Steem? NOW THAT would be fucking KILLER

Make them encrypted so its not a P5 key but a special encryption code that ALSO needs a password that can be keptr by you for safe keeping and given to the holders in their certificate of authenticity :D

And if anyone spends it, youll be able to check the coin from its PUBLIC key which will just be the Steem Account name "SilverCoin1" and "silvercoin2" so it will work great!

You could even use this for a blockchain numistamtic scheme lol i just love the idea of one ounce of silver having a private key for a steem accoiunt with 1 Steempower in it
OH you can DELEGATE that 1 SP to Minnowbooster and actually have the account earning a small passive income!

Steem is the best blockchain ever! I've never experienced an online community where my desire to create has been so uninhibited. I'm free to create content as I wish and others are free to read it. The beauty is in the simplicity and uncensored nature of this system that affords us a place to be free and explore.
There is no place like home and Steemit, to me, feels closer to home than I've ever gotten before as a creator. Truly a blockchain of opportunity and for that, I say THANK YOU.

Yes, Crypto is changing the experiences of life and affecting the lives greatly and at this moment i am thinking about the future and just imagine we all are roaming in the Crypto world, how amazing that would be. Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

It would be very useful to get a partner interested in making payments with SBD with a connection system like the one mentioned to connect the account of Steem and ready would be great ideas are only need to get the people interested in making it possible

@ackza This is great way to spend your SBD. Thanks for sharing. Well done bitpay.

I hope this is good job ...so thanks for information
