Xapo response to my questions regarding the Int'l Bitcoin Debit Card for the US.

Me:

Can you explain further why debit cards can't be sent to the US? What law is blocking you? Who can we contact together as a community to try and make this happen?

Hi,
Unfortunately there's nothing you can do. No one is particularly "blocking" our entrance to the US, we just haven't found a suitable partner yet who has the correct licences to issue cards in the US.
I'm constantly working on it, though. I will keep you posted!

Thanks for your patience,
Anni

Me:

Thanks for the update. The moment your US debit card is possible I will definitely be converting my income with Bitwage to begin moving away from Wells Fargo. Very excited about your partnership with Bitwage. Thank you.

I'm excited. If it can happen I'll be as giddy as a little kid on xmas morning.

For those who don't know, Bitwage can intercept your direct deposit (without your employer even knowing, I think) and send to the wallet address of your choice. Whoever is the first US debit card will win big.
