Lately..
I've been reading about the "struggles" people have withdrawing their STEEM/SBD. - Especially new Steemians. - And I can totally relate with some of them.
Personally, I must say, that I've been struggling too, especially ever since the exchange I used previously stopped paying me $USD for BTC directly to my PayPal account. The transfer was awesome and smooth. Sure, they had some fee's so I paid them a couple of bucks for each transaction.. But it worked out well. - It was easy and reliable.
- They aren't allowed to do this anymore.. PayPal put an end to their business.
However, that was truly incredible for someone who's looking to cash-out swiftly.
The process was like this:
I sent my STEEM/SBD to bittrex. > I sold my STEEM/SBD for BTC. > I sent my BTC to the exchange site and waited for anything between 5 and 24 hours. - And the money appeared in my PayPal account.
As I'm from Sweden, I can't use coinbase for that purpose. Also, I've had maaaaajor issues to verify my identity on coinbase. Don't ask me why, but I couldn't manage to get it verified. It took me about 3 months to verify it and that was after a bunch of emails to the support. - Not even they could answer the question "why can't I verify my identity?" properly.
Anyhow..
Things are like they are and I'm nothing near a cryptocurrency expert, but I'm learning. With baby steps.
So, just out of the blue, I started to think about an actual STEEMIT CARD. - Could something like that even be possible?
Just imagine if you could transfer your STEEM/SBD to an actual debit card, and sure, if you're from a country that doesn't have USD, you'll have to exchange the funds to your currency first some how.. - But wouldn't that be awesome?
How do YOU transfer your STEEM/SBD?
Are you using coinbase to make withdrawals to your bank account?
Do you know if there's a legit and solid way to transfer BTC to Paypal, like I've done previously?
I know there's literally hundreds of different ways to transfer & use your BTC.. Cards and different exchanges etc.. - But do you know if I can use something like an actual plastic card in Sweden?
I've obviously heard about Bit Pay..
And I think that's the best option I might have.. And I guess it's like one of my other Debit Cards I got from Fiverr. More or less. - But I'm not sure yet.
That being said.. I wish we'd be able to see an actual STEEMIT CARD, from STEEMIT INC, in the near future. Apply for a card, get the card and withdraw money instantly to your very on STEEMIT CARD.. - That would've been truly awesome!
Even if it's unlikely.. It shouldn't be impossible.. Or am I wrong?
I would love to hear your thoughts on this..
And hopefully, we can spread & use this information to help new people.. So they finally realize that it's not "too hard" or "difficult" to join Steemit as a cryptocurrency rookie.
