RE: Using SBD, Blocktrades, Bitcoin Cash & Bitpay Visa Debit Card to buy Food at Jack in the Box Drive through using crypto. I could have even done a delivery with doordash
You are amazing @ackza helping people to cash out their cryptos and always writing up about your own cashouts and that's really encouraging to stay at steemit
If anyone is in San Diego, CA ackza does help them cash out crypto to buy stuff if they really need help. Also he teaches people to use their own crypto to buy things without any debit card or id, using the GYFT app for Android or iOS which lets you buy Gift cards for many popular stores that you can walk into in real life in many large cities, and since @blocktrades lets you get bitcoin for your sbd or steem, you can very easily use the GYFT app to buy things from food to clothes to electronics or even amazon gift cards all using that GYFt app which lets you buy this with Bitcoin which you can gte via Blocktrades in your steemit.com built in wallet exchange service.... Its pretty nice that anyone in the USA and any country that has stores that have gift cards listed on GYFT can use that app to buy things in real life without waiting!
If youre in a country that lacks the gyft app functionality maybe its time that @yensesa team and @steemgh @mcsamm @tj4real work on a gift card app like a clone of the gyft app or just an extra feature on yensesa, just a simple marketplace for giuft cards which you can buy with steem/sbd or ghanian cedis and which you can use either mobile money or steem to buy
in fact if there already exists a Ghanian or Nigerian Mobile money enabled gift card website or app we can just use yensesa as the way people can exchange their steem/sbd to ghanian cedis and then use that to buy the gift cards for ghanian or nigerian businesses!
This idea of replicating the Gyft app seems like a real winner for developing countries. I believe this Gyft app could be replicated in many developing nations around the world, and as long as you can allow these gift card companies to accept bitcoin (or better yet, steem) then youll be able tyo go out and link these systems up. Or better yet make a system from scratch and invite local companies to set up a gift card system and find a way to exchange bitcoin to your local fiat currency for cheap, by becoming your own exchange like @yensesa where you can have people buying and selling crypto and fiat so youll have a supply of both, and just create a list of companies who set up deal with you to sell gift cards for their stories and allow customers to use bitcoin or just steem/sbd to buy the gift cards so that when for example, Ghanian citizens earn money on steemit they can immediately use their steem/sbd to buy a gift card for a local store or an online ghanian store which have in country delivery, and they should be able to even use their crypto to pay for shipping, OR we find big chains that people can walk into in real life, and allow for a simple app or website where store owners can use a smartphone or tablet to scan the customers phone with a special one time qr code, with the gift card, and like the GYFT app they can then buy items in the store with their gift card credits which were paid for using crypto
this could be a huge money maker for people in developing countries wishing to look for a new business model and the Gyft App when combined with @yensesa by @black-man seems golden! In fact yensesa should definitely create a gyft card like business to make it even easier for steemians or yensesa users to use their ghanian cedis or even their bitcoin or steem/sbd to buy gift cards for Ghanian stores, both real life store fronts and online retailers.
@tytran this is an amazing suggestion. We will look into this.
Thanks
