Ok – this sounds like a sponsored post but it’s not.

I am my bank’s worse nightmare. They love to stop my payments to my forex broker, block Crypto purchases and generally be quite nasty because I refuse to be a “standard” person. So I used to have a debit card with Spectrocoin but you may remember Visa decided to mass cancel quite a few thousand cards, their loss. My Skrill account regularly comes to my aid.

My bank seem perfectly happy to let me transfer to Skrill from there I can transfer it out or use my Skrill card. But guess what. Skrill takes Bitcoin, so I can transfer my Bitcoin to Skrill and then use my debit card to buy lots of goodies with it.

Good job Skrill

You can’t use any old wallet!

Now here’s the bad news – you can’t just use any old wallet, you need a Bitpay compatible wallet.

BitPay recommends using a bitcoin wallet that you can trust to successfully use for bitcoin payments. Below is a list of reliable bitcoin wallets:

• BitPay Wallet
• Copay Wallet
• Mycelium Wallet
• Airbitz Wallet
• Electrum Wallet
• Bitcoin Core Wallet
• Bitcoin.com Wallet

Anything else pretty much won’t work. I even tried scanning the QR Code with Coinbase on my phone, that didn’t work either.

I tried the Bitcoin.com wallet but had trouble with it so I went for the Bitpay wallet and that works very well.
