I took my beloved Husband out to dinner tonight! I paid for some pizza with my Steemit rewards I traded for bitcoin. I use several platforms for trading and I can't give advice on which one is the best. I used the Coinbase Shift Debit card because it's very easy to sign up and all I had to use was my SSN and phone number. Word of warning, Coinbase is now sending "certain" accounts data to the IRS for those who live in the United States.
I cannot advise you how to purchase a debit card here in the United States or outside of the United States. I don't want to be responsible for giving anyone the wrong advice.
The reason I am posting this little article is not to brag, well...maybe I am bragging a little bit. I figured out the system all by myself and I am a Grandma! So if I can use cryptocurrency to purchase food, gas, pay for rent or a mortgage, anyone can!
Wheat gives me rashes and migraines
How much Bitcoin did I trade for $22.00 worth of pizza? If BTC was at $11,300.00 that would equal, 0.001946 worth of BTC. I heard a story at the beginning of bitcoin birth someone paid 10,000 BTC for 2 pizzas, which today would be worth $100 million. Times have changed a little bit.
I had no problem paying for the pizza, the transaction was instant. I will leave links below explaining how Coinbase and the Shift Debit card pull this little crypto miracle off!
The credit card reader had no problem processing my Shift debit card transaction. A word of warning, you don't need a PIN number for the transaction. I won’t be keeping large amounts of currency on my debit card that can easily be stolen or lost. I will not keep a large amount of coins in my Coinbase BTC wallet, do not keep large amounts of coins on exchanges. Crypto-exchanges can shut down, freeze your wallet, or get hacked!
