We had a similar topic a few months ago, where we got some nice tips on ways how to transfer crypto into fiat, or pay for goods and services... This time, we stayed on a similar topic where participants shared their ways of spending HIVE/HBD, but also crypto in general! It was a nice educational show as we had multiple ways explained almost in the smallest details, so don't forget to check out the recording of the show that you can find inside this post!

We have two people on the microphone sharing their experiences, and the others were interacting during the show in the chat channel... It looks like most of the participants are in the "full-accumulation" mode as everyone is focused on getting more of those cryptos and not spending their bags... 😃 Which is fine... I'm doing the same... 😃
We began the show with @foxkoit sharing the photo of his two debit (prepaid) crypto cards that he owns, Crypto.com and Gate.io cards! I also own the first one, but I didn't know that the second one exists, and I will have to check it out... I got one piece of information that I didn't have before thanks to awesome #HHHLive participants!
As we were in that field, I shared my experience with the crypto.com card that I've been using for over a year now (I think), which I began to use on recommendation of another Hivian (if you check my older posts, you can probably find the one where I was brainstorming which card to order🙂)... I'm using my crypto.com card to buy groceries, purchase plane tickets, buy online stuff, book accommodation, or withdraw cash at the ATM... So, almost for everything! Before that debit card, I had a Wirex and Binance card, but I didn't renew them...
@felixxx shared his experience with https://www.bitrefill.com/, and he described the whole process of creating vouchers on that website using HIVE/HBD! Thanks to @brianoflondon's app it is possible to do it... Don't forget to check https://v4v.app/ which you can use as a tool to offload your HIVE/HBD and top up your debit cards or Bitrefill account!
When @relf87 finally sorted out his difficulties with the microphone, he shared his experience...He is paying for coffee with his crypto profits! Nice way to motivate yourself to push forward! Speaking of motivation and understanding crypto, those above-mentioned vouchers can be a nice "first step" for entering the world of crypto... When you create a voucher, you can use it as a gift, which could help out with showing to non-crypto people that what you are doing makes sense, and has monetary value too!!!
Of course, the best way to spend your HIVE/HBD is to pay directly with them, either in some shop, bar or directly to someone's for its services or products! I was lucky to have that kind of experience when I was attending #HiveBeeCon in Krakow last year when I was able to pay for food and drinks in The Kingdom! What do you need to do? With a mobile phone with a Keychain app, you scan the QR code from the merchant, approve the transaction and you are good to go!! Because I made payment with my HBD, those dumplings were the best food ever! 😃
At the end of the show, we were talking about exchanging crypto at local BTC/crypto meetups, but also about the ways how you can accept crypto payments and still be legally covered... Of course, all that we were talking about in the show were our experiences and not financial advice!
Don't forget to check out the show recording below!
We had 12 participants (including myself) in the show this week!!! Thanks for participating, @achim03, @alberto0607, @duskobgd, @felixxx, @foxkoit, @melinda010100, @mypathtofire, @palomap3, @relf87, @sacra97, and @travoved! Thank you guys and girls for joining me and spreading great ideas!
As usual, we had an after-show where we were talking about some other topics like the one that was started a few days ago, upvoting or not people who are powering down all their HIVE... Of course, that led to some other topics and tips for bloggers on HIVE... Don't forget to join the next show and not miss the after-show!!! Those are not recorded and exclusive for participants of the live stream!
Thank you, guys and girls, once again! As a sign of appreciation, I will send some LEN tokens to all participants of the live show! You can pair them with LENM tokens, add liquidity to the diesel pool, and earn rewards! If you want to learn more about the project behind it, check out the @liotes account or visit the Liotes website... Of course, if you are not interested in it, you can sell tokens on the Hive-Engine market...
To encourage more people to come on the mic, I have sent an additional 100 Ecency POINTS to people who shared their thoughts in voice with us! This time, we had only 2 participants on the mic, @felixxx and @relf87! Thanks for sharing the stage with me! So, this week, Ecency POINTS are going to them!
Special thanks goes to @melinda010100 and @good-karma for providing the space for the event!
Thank you for your time,
