Title: Banking
Post by: mike623317 on November 27, 2014, 05:18:09 am

I really want to use BitShares for real world banking. However, I just need a debit card and lite app to make it workable.

I heard on one of the mumbles that we're looking to launch a debit card like the SHIFT one that ripple have. I can't wait for 1.0 to arrive. For me, i see the value in terms of banking in the asset i want (ie. gold/silver/shares) without it being someones liability (like if i bought gold through ripple).

A debit card offramp is a top priority and brian's team is making progress with one partner on this. Once we have that there is no reason to ever keep my dollars in BoA ever.

You bet. My AMEX card will see some plastic surgery on day 1.

That begs the question though - I wish i could get my wages paid in to bitshares. Now that would be sweet.
