Yesterday, I was finally able to purchase my local food from the supermarket and pay WITH BTC! First time in my live to pay something in person with BTC.
Absolutely incredible experience and total gamechanger.
Shoutout to nostr:nprofile1qqs8xgquvj09ymv7a09fzd574rsp0sdlm75k87pwg3qsa4n0dhz20mgpz4mhxue69uhkzat5dqhxummnw3erztnrdakszxrhwden5te0v3jjuur4wfcxcetjv4kxz7fwvdhk67kytn8 for making it possible to pay with BTC via their BTC VISA debit card!
Live will feel so much smoother now🙌🏼
Glad to be helping you live on Bitcoin 🫡
better with a non KYC card...
Unfortunately, non-KYC cards are much more limited. Not accepted by as many merchants, not possible to add on mobile wallets, no physical cards as well. And sometimes non-KYC simply means that they won’t ask for details proactively, but they might freeze your balance and still ask for KYC if they don’t like your transactions.
Better to have merchants accept Bitcoin and pay with Bitcoin directly. But wave space at second best
That's true. We're solving this friction from the user side, not the merchant side. Our tools are for someone who wants to live on Bitcoin, yet has to pay in fiat in 99% of the cases.
However, the idea is that if more people would move onto the Bitcoin standard because of convenient tools like wavecard, then more people would also try to "orange pill" the merchants to accept Bitcoin natively, as it's obviously even more cheaper, more private, less intermediaries, etc.
It's a bit of catch-22 problem between merchants and shoppers. But our thesis is that it's very unlikely that the adoption will come from merchants first, and then onto people. It has to be from people who get in the habit of paying with Bitcoin one way or another and then merchants will eventually flip.
So the btc was exchanged in value instantly from bitcoin to vonderleyen chichibucks which depending on what jursdiction establishes a capital gain and must be declared? Is that correct? Keep the receipt just in case
