i downloaded the Xapo app just to see if it lets me in the US. $1000 is a bit much but it's fun to browse around the Xapo website.
i'm living like a Mennonite now on a BitRefill standard: no loans, no credit card debt. i paid off the IRS 8.5% apr monthly payment plan.
i'm really enjoying sending bitcoin transactions to BitRefill to get giftcards. it really makes the benefit of bitcoin obvious over silver/gold.
i believe i'm also saving the merchants' 3% transaction fees over credit cards.
bitrefill has about 0.5% spread which is as good as it gets.
i think Ledn also used a static deposit address... it was only useful because at least i could recognize it and clearlist it if necessary
