While reading about Steemit CASH OUT posts quite recently, I learned that there were newbie Steemians from the UK who are not familiar with WirexApp (former www.e-coin.io). So, here I am writing this blog especially for our English Steemian friends.
Did you know that it is very easy to cash out Bitcoin in the United Kingdom?
WirexApp have virtual and plastic cards which are available in European countries. Only some time ago, WirexApp VISA cards was available in many countries, including in my native Philippines. I purchased both virtual and plastic VISA cards back then in 2015.
But there were a lot of changes in the world of CryptoCurrency starting from 2016. I then found out I can't use my WirexApp visa cards not until I have my account verified.
Then in 2017, use of Bitcoin visa cards were discontinued in the Philippines. WirexApp card usage were just limited to European countries (read this). Hence, I decided to stop promoting WirexApp.

Yesterday, I had a big surprise of my life. I checked my WirexApp account and... guess what? I found out I was credited with more than 0.005 BTC balance on my account. Wow! Base on current Bitcoin price that's over PHP2,000! That was my WirexApp affiliate bonus!
As mentioned earlier, I did stop promoting WirexApp and was even contemplating of cancelling my WirexApp account last year. Glad I didn't! Whew! That was a close call! T'was really a stroke of luck that I didn't notice the WirexApp deactivation option. Hehehe! Otherwise, I could have immediately terminated my account because I quite pissed off. LOL!
Haste Makes Waste
Indeed, I did learn a lesson from this experience. We shouldn't be too impatient and impulsive. So true is the saying, "HASTE MAKES WASTE"! Right guys? Let's not be carried away with our spontaneous emotions. We must always think positive!

By the way, I also found out yesterday that WirexApp and Coins.ph did lower their Bitcoin transaction fees! That's absolutely fantastic! See below screenshots:
