did you actually pay for the new phone with steem?!?! or did you convert it to BTC and then used your BTC debit card? and I was thinking, you can always just get a cheap prepaid amazon gift card in exchange for bitcoin and use that to buy stuff online, theer are also sites that let u pay for stuff on ebay or amazing with bitcoin for a 10 DISCOUNT allowing them to collect cheap bitcoin at spot basically! And Anyone getting bitcoin at spot can resell it for a few percents and make a profit! or save it and every cooany that made a decision to accept bitcoin as payment alll were rewarded with climing bitcoin prices!
Anyway i know coinbase has abitcoin debitcard with great rates!
I don't like coinbase, bitpay is better https://bitpay.com/card/
