An Update From Wirex (Debit Card Interested In Listing Steem)
So, they're interested in listing us. According to Gregory:
"Fundamentally, there seems to be a good fit between Wirex and Steem, so, we are definitely keen to explore the opportunities for cooperation."
I'm gonna keep in touch with him, and do as much as I possibly can. If anyone feels like they can contribute in any way to this, please let me know. Let's try to get as much visibility as possible!
@ned should really be doing this.
Visit Wirex here.

Great job, @sisygoboom!
Just an idea: You could also link https://steemapps.com.
Proud to be somehow the catalyst for this move, but what exactly did I suggest? :P
I believe you suggested trying to get in touch with crypto card companies to provide more fiat to steem links, I was only half listening though so it mightve been someone else haha either way, I believe you were were responsible for getting us listed on state of the dapps which is inspiration for this kind of outreach regardless.
Thanks for the feedback man!
That would be bloody magic!
It'd mean we'd be able to send steem to our cards and spend it in shops! Cut out all the exchanges. Vice versa, we'd be able to buy steem with fiat directly.

I hadn't even thought about the buying steem directly part. Just gets better!
Думаю в этом году это произойдет.
Great job @sisygoboom for leading from the front. Thanks for inspiring us to get STEEM listed on as many places as we can.
2019 is going to be a great year for all of us! We are positive.
Thank you @oracle-d! Let's set Steem up for the best possible start come to the next bull run so we can have an awesome 2019.
great news
Wirex have an account at @communitymanager, but it's not very active now. I hope they can spare time to talk more to the people here. I have a Wirex card and being able to use Steem directly would be great
I didn't realise they already had a presence here on steem, thanks for pointing that out. I'm in the same boat, being able to spend steem in pretty much any shop would be a milestone for sure.
At least I can easily convert Steem to other coins that they currently support. I've done that several times.
This is great news, in future buy and sell steem will be much more easier.

okay, that is awesome! I currently have Bitpay and Shift payments cards. I need to get the wirex as well. They also just added WAVES recently as well! These are the kind of things we need for mass adoption!
I highly recommend it, I've been using it for a while now and you're right, if waves can make it on there, there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't as well.
Good to see more folks opening up to adding Steem. Now if Gabe Newell from Steam replied my email for Steem integration about 2 years ago.. lol
That would've been the perfect combo! (if the names didn't confuse people of course) Maybe times have changed, steem is a lot easier to integrate since I joined.

Good job reaching out to Wirex! All we need is a few lucky breaks... Agreed that this should be @ned's job, but given at I don't know what he does with his day, I guess there is the benefit of the doubt (which I hope is not misplaced...).
I believe there is a need for us to be proactive and pull together as a comminty, at the end of the day, we are our own marketing team, steem Inc is just the blockchain provider. I'll be making sure to keep this a community effort as much as possible.
Sounds like very good news to me!
