I'm curious to know if there are currently (june 22th 2013) any better alternatives to OK Pay debit cards. in terms of setup simplicity/speed and/or anonymity.

The problem with debit cards is they're just an authentication card with no money in them. They require a central authority in control of the money to process the requests. A bitcoin "debit card" would be a small device with a tiny display allowing you to confirm or deny potential transactions. This way you remain in control of the money.

What are some other alternatives for getting Bitcoins and Litecoins into another currency other than cash through a debit card, like are there good options to cash out to a paypal account? I've read on here that they don't recommend using paypal, though I don't know why.

Because paypal charges can be reversed, bitcoin cannot.

Check out OKPay.

There are a few other companies working on bitcoin debit cards.

eNumbered.com has a debit card but the limit is only $200USD daily.  Any others?

okpay is a joke. bitcoin is gr8 but we need to get the money out in cash occasionally to pay bills. i cant pay my rent or buy a hamburger with bitcoins , at least not yet.

Doesn't this sort of defeat the whole purpose of moving away from the banking system? Anyway I think you'd have to convert to a normal debit account via xfer through an exchange. There might be apps to send money via qr or NFC mechanism though
