Where do you buy Bitcoin directly with credit card? I've yet to find a way to do this efficiently. What is this 1% tax?

For me, I have paycheck direct deposit to fold. Some percentage gets instantly converted to Bitcoin. I use the debit card for daily purchases like gas and groceries. I earn a small amount of sats for this, and I do roundups to get more sats.

I also use it to pay my bills, but that is real small percentage. Like 0.25%

I agree it used to be way better. But this still works for me. And is net positive.

No. I used my Apple card for everything and it pays 2-3% back. I close the card balances every month. I really just sell my data for cash back 😅

Withdraw the 2-3% to my bank account and buy bitcoin.

The 1% of the 3% is roughly 30% income tax to withdraw. Unless you want to hold the sats with Fold for over a year.

Ok got ya.

I hold long term anyway because another major problem I have with fold is they don't have lightning withdrawals. So I want to amass a large enough UTXO to be worth holding onchain. That's about 1mil sats for me. So that takes a long time to amass in rewards.

They do separate the rewards sats from the sats you buy (roundups, direct deposit) so those you can move to cold storage without tax implications.

Yeah. That stinks. Sorry, this card does not make sense.
