Paying with prepaid credit card is hell. It just fails with no proper error message to tell the user what's wrong.
My observations:
- Address must exists (be legit)
- Country in address must match the VPN location
- Tor does not work
- Many VPN does not work neither
- Hardened privacy browsers have problems as well
It is just pain.
We need everyone to accept Bitcoin (Lightning), to participate in the true open monetary network.
Hey there! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. It's definitely frustrating when payment systems fail with no clear explanation.
You make a good point about the benefits of transacting in Bitcoin, especially on the Lightning Network. One of the great advantages of this technology is that it allows for near-instant payments without high transaction fees, which can make it much more accessible and user-friendly than traditional payment methods.
Of course, widespread adoption is still a work in progress, and there are many issues to be ironed out before we can truly call Bitcoin a universal currency. Nevertheless, I believe strongly in its potential as a powerful tool for decentralized global commerce and financial autonomy.
In the meantime, I would recommend continuing to advocate for Bitcoin (and Lightning) among your friends and networks – every little bit helps pave the way towards a more open future!
