Our next big service, 3-4 weeks after launch, will be our fiat gateway service. Once this is completed, the purchase of STEEM directly via credit card will soon follow.FreedomEx has been in discussion about issuing our very own debit card. Just like the debit card bitpay issues. We have requested we use STEEM instead of BTC to fund it.
While I love the while vision behind this. The part I am most excited about is the buying and using steem. In my opinion it is one of 2 issues thay is really holding us back from mass adoption. It is so complicated for people just to buy some steem with all the hoops they have to jump through instead of just buying it and moving to their account. And the other side that we tell people they can earn on the site is great but then they can't spend it? If there was a card linked to your account it would be a game changer.

I agree. It was very important for us to have both bank and credit card purchases for steem. And the FreedomEx debit card just makes it easier...no btc conversion fee and fast.
Exactly. I think it's great news for the whole eco system and removes a huge barrier to entry for a lot of people. I'm excited about your platform and can't wait to see it developed. Hope it's a success for you and for all of us too.
