Great news thanks for posting this. I'd be careful about saying "you can avoid capital gains tax" tho without getting a professional opinion or link for that. IRS always finds a way, and barter is taxable. I've gotten the Visa Shift now (which also lets you spend Bitcoin from your coinbase account) but can actually envision those transactions being taxable, esp if funded by Stemm, and especially if Bitcoin rises between the time I buy it, and spend it on groceries.
I do think transactions like this will go under the radar for awhile (esp at the low volumes I'd be doing) but I'd be very careful advising people they can avoid tax, ever.
Following you now - Best, Guy
