It's not a bitcoin card, rather I go through different exchanges around the planet at different times. I cant give you an example...

nostr:nprofile1qqsza56ed667de7q6mu6uxspetg7gzadqtkeug3plserzcj2nz6vc7qpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakq0w97ud does a KYC exchange of 1.2%, no extra on the spread. Then I move that for free to one of my Fiat digital wallets that have no FX fees (Wise, wealthsimple, etc). Depending the country I'm in, I use the one that has the currency I need to use there to avoid the currency conversion. Although once you accumulate enough local currenciy, one could avoid those potential conversion costs from one to another to rebalance, but they are all still subject to inflation (and of course, not a good way to preserve your money... For those who are not "all in" yet). Some of the accounts do pay interest which more than offsets the currency conversion costs. I notice you mention that there might be "conversion fees" when paying with the card, are those like FX fees?

This is why I want your product to work (and with NWC too already? Rock on!💪). Way more simple to send BTC directly to my digital wallet for spending, rather than having to do various maneuvering, although there is a bonus in keeping things a little bit separate. But every little bit counts (which we can agree) but your Bitcoin Rewards program might offset it enough to make the switch. So a few questions, apart from the one above...

What is required to prove that one is a EEA citizens to open an account? I have loads of people I could recommend this card too who aren't as crazy as me in routing money to save a few sats 🙂

Can one transfer fiat (bitcoin to someone else's IBAN/Short code that is wither in EUR or other currency?)

Can you easily freeze a card in the app?

And thank you for a thorough response! Looks like a great product and looking forward to using it 😃

The decision to be present with family, rather than to opportunities, which are a bonus, not a need... Honorable! The universe notices, rewards back in ways we can never calculate beforehand.

Todo bien por acá, nada intenso de suerte! Y si si, "unfollow" 😁

Life Update — Getting Vulnerable

This is MY Story and I’m finally ready to share it…

Nearly two years ago, I walked away from a 20-year career in the car business. I was a VP, overseeing 400+ employees, and from the outside, things looked solid. But inside, I knew God was calling me to something different.

When I stepped away, it wasn’t a slow fade — it was a clean break. That decision fractured my relationship with my dad and forced close friends to choose sides. And most chose distance. I was left with my wife, my kids… and God.

But that was enough. Actually — it was everything.

A few years ago, I shared a video on YouTube of me building a DIY cold plunge. It was low quality, shot on a whim, and it came from a place of personal struggle — I was battling brain fog, low energy, and searching for answers. The response to that video was the first spark of something new.

Fast forward to today — I’ve been creating content about health and wellness for three years now. I’ve tried things, reviewed things, built things, and shared what’s working for me in real time. It’s not polished. It’s real.

In less than two years since leaving the car business, my life has completely transformed. No titles, no safety nets, no industry to fall back on. Just faith, consistency, and a relentless belief that if I trusted God fully, He’d lead me somewhere good.

He did.

In 2024, I had the biggest financial year of my life — not from anything flashy, but from showing up every day and sharing what’s real. Every month, over $1,000,000 worth of product is purchased through my links and codes. That number blows my mind. Not because of the money — but because of what it represents: impact.

People still assume I’ll go back to the car business someday. But I won’t. Because I didn’t just change careers — I changed identities. I’m not a doctor. I’m not a trainer. I didn’t even grow up playing sports. But somehow, I’ve become a recognizable voice in the wellness space.

And here’s the truth: I don’t take credit for any of it.

This wasn’t a clever strategy or a five-year business plan. It was me giving everything — every day — to God. He has provided every single need for my family. He has opened doors I never could’ve forced open. He’s given me purpose in the pain and peace in the unknown.

If it all ended tomorrow, I’d still be grateful. Because this chapter has been rich with meaning, miracles, and moments I never could’ve dreamed up on my own.

I’m sharing this to encourage someone who’s on the edge of a scary decision. You can reinvent your entire life if you’re willing to trust God, let go of people-pleasing, and consistently show up for the work.

Don’t put a ceiling on what God can do.

I didn’t know how this would turn out when I jumped — but I knew Who I was trusting.

To everyone who’s supported this journey, from likes to messages to prayers — thank you. Truly.

And to God — I give it all back. 🙏🏽

Admirable, and you maintained the responsibility and care and dealt with potential stress you at the start of that transition. Your family sees what you are capable of... to adapt and not require to define yourself and maintain that identity through a cost, which usually flows to the family that they inherently even subconsciously maintain. Your kids see what you are capable of, and they have an example they can trust they can do for themselves now 💪 Blessings transcend 🙏

GM... Among all of the infinite possibilities, the universe decided to create you, and here you are... What first thought in the day could be more humbling than that?

We usually look for the gate in the shade, the one without a lock, maybe no door at all... you known, the easy one.

How many have used that door? How closely do you become like them that take you on that same path?

When you see a challenege, see a gate, and ask how many are willing to try to open it? For the gate is a spam test, and the journey is the true wealth towards whatever the gate was keeping others from.

Interviews must be intense to make them sweat and having to get a drink!

If you dig deep enough, you find that we are all trying to honor the principals that we believe is healthy, for a future worth living.

Some continue to follow a path, that may look like to us, a path that clearly will lead to certain suffering, and even faster death. But when your first principal is to survive the pain, or the upcoming pain and money promises hope to escape it, all virtues are on hold... for what good are ethical principals if you are dead, or believe you will be without them?

So one compromises, temporarily... sothey believe, and then it becomes a habit, and then it becomes them, unbeknown to them.

Do not judge them, for any judgment surely can be passed on to you for when you know you could have done better. But we don't know what we don't know, and hen you realize that, your first step into compassionate understanding begins.

You don't become rich by buying bitcoin... Rather through the decisions you made to make the changes so you could buy bitcoin.

The core of our nature reveals a truth... You are not an individual, but a group of many working in harmony.

You are not who you think you are and neither are just one, so asking who you are in itself can mislead you away from the truth.

So which question leads us to the truth?

This is your daily work. To learn to ask the right questions, not for the answers themselves that each might bring, but because its through asking them, that we find the answers.

It's through as that nature expresses itself, it's through it reveals its consciousness... Just like a cell in your body does.

I don't think there's enough people comparing the state to a stealth enterprise. It issues shares in the form of currency (decide at the same time when to issue more of those shares diluting the rest of the holders), deciding minimum labour policies (to ensure the people/assets are surviving the mining labour of any economy), giving the idea that voting between the few parties give sufficient choice for change that we really need or keep the system from just falling apart,, engaging in capitalistic opportunities with other countries at will, using the law (corporate mandates) or military force (like the mafia) to balance its power... nor sure what the difference really is now with a government and an unregulated corporation. 🤔

Gm... While you slept, the world kept turning, the sun kept burning... Sometimes it's the opposite for some... But all those reading this are still breathing.

Own this day... You don't get another today.

Everyone is voting based on the best information they have. Everyone is thinking they are doing the best decision when they make it. I'm glad they can voice their opinion.

Buy systematically, weekly on the same day, regardless of the price, using the maximum amount you are willing to lose completely and expect to wait 4 years for profits. Stay consistent, religious even to that action. Many have become successful in this way by not trying to time the market, but by the amount of time they spent in the market.
