Lately it is very fashionable lately to use bitcoins, but one question that one surely is asked is where to store bitcoins ?. Bitcoin is a virtual currency, something intangible and you can not touch.
Bitcoin is not like the money that you can touch it in the form of notes, although the money when you are in the bank are just numbers, we can go and take them out on paper, but what about bitcoins?
Well, did you know that you can also "play" bitcoins? You can carry the bitcoins in a pendrive, you can buy pen-shaped pendrives if you want, and on each pendrive put a quantity of bitcoins. Doing this is something of a more advanced user and why not, somewhat geeky. The ordinary people use the Bitcoin Wallets (or as it would be called in Spanish "purses bitcoins"). So I answer here the question What is Xapo? Xapo is a bitcoin purse where you can keep your coins.
Main features of Xapo
Have a debit card
Available for all countries
IOS and Android app
Possibility to buy bitcoins
Ideal for faucets and businesses, as they often offer a bonus when withdrawing a Xapo purse.
Xapo is a great service but they dont offer the best exchange rate which is effectively a % charge each time you use the card. Having said that its very convenient and can be used for everyday purchases via debit card which automatically converts from Bitcoin to USD, EURO or GBP.
Yes, you're right, I use it a lot because in my country there are not many stores that receive bitcoin so it's a good way to use the ones I have
