Using a Wirex card with proof that it works(for my friend Charlotte)
A Wirex a card is a debit card that lets you send Bitcoins to your Wirex wallet and spend them on your Wirex card.
This is going to be a short demo on me using my Wirex card to show you and my friend Charlotte that it works.
Receving the card, It took 10 days to arrive. I know @maneco64 ordered 1 a few weeks ago and he said his took 7 days to arrive, We both live in the UK. A rise in demand? The plastic card cost £15 and expires in 2020.
Sending Bitcoin from my wallet to my Wirex wallet. Please note you do not control the private keys to your Wirex wallet.
Receving Bitcoin in my Wirex wallet.
Exchanging my Bitcoin for dirty fiat currancy on Wirex. Im not sure who they use for their exchange rate (BTC-GBP) also you pay a 1.9% fee and you pay the Bitcoin fees too.
After fees there was a little left in my wallet too.
At the cash machine/ATM.
Then it all goes wrong............it turns out you were right charlotte, Its all a scam!!!!!!!Run !!!!!
No just joking.
Im off shopping.
Wirex website below if you want 1 please upvote and show my friend the power of cryptocurrencies.
hey i followed you and upvoted. hope you can do the same. steem on friend.
I like to dress my cards up. I think its funny. Bank employees, not so much.
It is so true though
Great Blog, I have and use the wirex card and never had any problems with withdrawals they are awesome @amadat
I also got the wirex card but never used it. But that will change in near future :)
I got the wirex card for here in Portugal.
I ordered the plastic Euro card.
Now my account is verified it works in both ATM's and shops as a regular visa card would.
There are less charges using the card in a shop than the ATM.
The charges can be confusing but I have a UK bank account and pay significantly more on my UK account for exchange rates and charges than on the Wirex.
When the Mrs goes over to the States I will order here a US dollar card to take with her.
This is the future. Bank on it.
I agree mate.
Cool :))
Nice! I wish they had this card in the US. Would come in handy
It is available in the U.S.
I want to get a bitwala card to show people steem works and pays you for your content.
Hold steem mate it has a great future
I will. I nees to build up some steem first.
