I've been over 4 years without a bank account.

Bitcoin works.

Life is good.

How do you pay for fiat contracts like health insurance?

It is possible to pay those with a credit card and pay for the credit card with cash. I'm not sure that is much better though. CrowdHealth is supposed to offerer payment in Lightning next year.

CrowdHealth is very cool but only available in US. Also usually people have more insurances like Car insurance which is mandatory to pay for. Maybe prepaid credit could be a way but most I know want a bank acc.

I'll answer with two questions:

Do you have a bank card?

Do you want to stack sats?

Yes, and yes ofc. Just can't really imagine easy ways to pay for a doc or hospital in/with bitcoin (at least in DE)

All of these take fiat cash though, especially in Germany.

Good to know, thanks. Wouldn't thought this but makes sense actually.

I don't think this is really feasible in the US. Anywhere else, probably yes

How do you pay utility (electricity/gas/water/sewage, ...) bills?

How do you pay your insurance?

How do you pay flight tickets?

How do you pay for rent/hotels?

I am genuinely asking. This is not a challenge or a hate.

Asking for a friend.
