#satlife experiment is fin. well, not exactly... but #sats are just not there yet for full-time l2 afaic. i won't trade off spending in sats for privacy. #tbc giftcards have issues with vpns, fueling-up on gas with walmart giftcards only is inconvenient, gift cards can't be used for subscriptions etc...

taking a more balanced approach moving forward. cash to #btc, stack in #corn, continue testing lightning, cashu and liquid, use sparrow whirlpool, spend in monero, lightning, pay non-subscription payments with #bitrefill or tbc gift cardss, and keep using privacy(.)com virtual cards for fiat only subscriptions.

Have you tried disposable visa card for sats? I am not sure if it exists where you are, but might worth a check.

yes. re: this post

Giftcards are not that great. Best are the pre paid cards from The Bitcoin Company.

i have been using tbc re: the post. their pre-paid cards and gift cards often do not play nicely with vpn enabled and cannot be used for subscriptions

True, best workaround is to use another mobile device for them without VPN

yes, i know. thx. i like tbc and will continue to use them. sometimes it's just smarter to pay with a privacy virtual card with alias info and vpn enabled.

Agreed. Bitcoin is a tool which can help our privacy, it's not the final solution.

Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏

you bet. thx for following along. more to come
