Advcash has no monthly fees and can be funded by bitcoin. You send the bitcoin to your Advcash account, then transfer the fund from your wallet to your card. You won't find any service where you don't send the bitcoin into your account first. The fees you pay is 1$ each time you load the card. If you load 500$, 1$ is a reasonnable ammount in my opinion. Of course there are ATM fees. Theirc cards are Mastercard

LOL, so the same can be say with fiat. Why are you using fiat for something that could be bought by bitcoin? Is it also a way to imress people and say "Yo, i have fiat folks, who want some?" It can also be a waste of profits as you can also have a profit in the long run.... But don't worry, if you have bills to pay, no matter what currency you have, you will be happy to use it. And if you have no fiat, don't worry you won't say "I have also no idea why would somebody wants to use his bitcoin on to something that could be bought by fiat "

I wouldn't say smartphones are "vital" to bitcoin growth. Even if it's true mobil payments solutions are incrasing, only a few people are interested in. This solutions are targetting a particular audience, the young people 15-30 years old and that's it. Even if the cost of a basic smartphone is cheap, it doesn't mean people are interested to use it for banking activities. And i hardly think most people using bitcoin are really interested to use a bitcoin wallet on their smartphone

They are all near the same, only fees may be different from one to another but not a lot. Usually they ask to be a verified member (so asking ID documents) once you reach the limits wich is usually about $2500. If I am not wrong Bitpay is for US citizen only but there are plenty of others around. Advcash, Spectrocoin, Cryptopay, Xapo are some of them. Cryptopay and Advcash both don't ask to be verified, at least as long you don't reach theirs limits, wich you can verify on their own website to find related details

If you are from Tier 1 or Tier 2 country, you may be interested to join GPT sites. They pay their members by completing surveys  (and others like visiting websites, complete free offers, free trials, ect) They usually pay via Paypal, Payza, ect but some of them reward members with Bitcoin. I am using one and receive payment in bitcoin weekly. If you're from a tier 3 country you can of course join too but earnings are very less so it may not be so good for your needs.

There is no place for guessing when it's about investing . Banks, for exemple, don't make bets about their investments. Thet have drastics studies about markets they plan to invest and make strict due dilligence. But I agree. Diversity is a basic while building any portofolio simply because the financial markets do not evolve in the same way, each sector has its logic of progress and can be influenced by external events independently. Rarely you will see big investors, banks, or investment funds putting all theirs funds in only one plan. So, in my opinion, It allows to limit the risks and the impact of a decline in a sector on the overall portfolio. At the same time, it also allows to increase the performance potential of the portfolio

But those fees are not for their pocket, it is for miners, it's not like if it was a plan to build the income of the company. I think they have been enough kind to handle those fees since years. There are still lot of people considering coinbase as their first web based wallet.

Xapo is an altenative that doesn't charge fees to send transaction, i tested it last week to check after reading here about the zero fees. Go to take a look at it

This days Bitcoin rate is in good shape. I believe we can see the 1300$ mark during the next month but not before. I am going to restock my wallet only for this, to make a few bucks, because i also think if the price reach 1300$ it won't stay for several days and will come back like what iti is today or maybe less than that.

Because those people except to see Bitcoin going to the moon the next week after they started to jump on it. And want to be rich within one month. Or when people don't see any improvement of the bitcoin price since some weeks, even when the price is decent. Or the price decrased just 1% is also enough for them to spread on the web bitcoin is dead. But people who are involved in bitcoin since sometime rarely get such negativity about the project.

Avoiding to pay the taxs is no different than cheating your country. And it's a bad behavior. Taxs are what help to make your own country better, remember that. I am happy to pay taxs and i could be more happy if i have more taxs to pay because it's mean i am making more income. Big firms are the champion when it's about taxs evasion, you ca not imagine the millions they are cheating from your gov. and so cheating you. And because it's about bitcoin is not an excuse as well.

Because Bitcoin, or any other cryptos, is/are a currency and shall be used as it. It's not a collectible item like stamps. In this case the same could be say with fiat why anyone want to spend their precious money on something as consumable

First time i hear about it, but will never use for sure. This activity is prohibited by Paypal TOS, and i wouldn't risk my paypal account just for doing an exchange. So if you use this, your account is at risk. Sure people can say, but i receive payments without problem ect, but soon or later they will change their version. No matter if the personn behind this service basically want to make "legit" transaction. Fact is Paypal + Money exchange or Bitcoin = NO

WirexApp and E-coin is the same company, they changed their name to WirexApp. I didn't know some services recquire a minimum to load a card using bitcoin. Advcash, Spectrocoin and Cryptopay are some that you can take a look at. Advcash for sure there is no minimum. But like any there is a fees to load cards (Spectrocoin may have zero fees to load cards)

@QuestionAuthority

Yes, it's a way to say: I accept your Bitcoin but I don't want to be related to Bitcoin. See the irony ?  
Regarding big companies such as Microsoft, Expedia, Dell ect I think one of the reason could be about their own reputation that they can't really take the risk to be dammaged, as a little thing can make large damages this days. For exemple here you see people asking question if Bitcoin is helping terrorists but outside here there are people really thinking Bitcoin helps criminals, terrorism, ect... With a few Youtube videos, news articles, mixed with Alex Jones and others it could lead that people will say those big companies are funding ISIS

Most of the time, people trading Bitcoin don't use any debt card to withdraw their profits. They cut the fees. They use exchanges directly. Coinbase is USA friendly. Bitsamp Kraken Bitfinex are one of the repuatble exchanges you can use. People prefer a particular exchange or another depending from where they come from. Due to the facility to deal with. For exemple europeans often prefer using Kraken, while americans often prefer using Bitsamp, while Asians would prefer another one.There are lot of exchanges as you will see but it's all depend on how extensive the verification can be, how easy you can deposit and withdraw, ect

Remember that Gold was the reference internationnally until the US dollar takes the slot during the '70. When buying-trading ect the value was expressed in Gold not in dollar. with all the geo political problems we are seeing everyday, it's good to hold gold of course. If you nationnal currency comes to a point it has zero value, good luck to buy your food at supermarket and tell to the cashier " i pay with bitcoin"

Where did you got this 15% incrase in sales ? I am curcious.. I have see business owners started to accept Bitcoin and it doesn't represent more than 1% of theirs sales and for some 0% ! I remember a restaurant accepting bitcoin and when i wanted to pay they guy was not even to remember where he kept his adress, he said i was the first to ask paying the note with bitcoin

I would do nothing than continue to hide my face for my safety. As i don't think I would be able to do something for Bitcoin. And I don't think Satoshi would have be able to do something either regarding bitcoin. He disappeared since too much time now, he may have an influence but nothing more

They have not posted any news regarding this since the last month. As they said this news update is only about receiving SWIFT bank transfers from 3rd parties in USD to our bank account, third party bank transfers in Euro are not affected. I think they may have a problem with their bank account used to receive SWIFT transfers

Gibraltar, thanks for the reminder. I didn't know a payment system is able to detect the country origin of the card used :/

Hello
