I stopped using this card after they declined my $15 withdrawal during the defi blow up. A part of me regrets even using BlockFi but when podcasters interview the founders you get captured. I often think if Companies like coinbase and BlockFi stuck to only Bitcoin and had low time preference they would be absolute titans in the upcoming bitcoin economy
Theres also Sphinx, which is pretty cool! I’ve worked with their team a bit and while the whole thing was probably released too early, it’s got some pretty solid potential
Oh, there's also Satsback.com. It supports a surprising amount of online stores and while sometimes it takes a while for my purchases to be credited, it's always worked! Just make sure to either do it in a VM or in the very least, in an incognito browser window since it's important that you accept all cookies. A great way to stack sats when buying things you'd (hopefully) buy anyway.
I have been playing with Strike lately and I think it is being slept on a little. The utility to simplicity ratio is off the charts in my opinion. By adding a BTC "savings" account to a regular money transfer app, they have basically stripped banking down to the bare essentials. Will definitely be the app I use to bring normies in.

I'd throw in the Blockfi credit card because it's 1.5% sats back
Also Cash App debit card let's you round up in sats (like Roundly)
Blockfi does not support lightning.
🤦♂️

I think the best strategy is to use fewer services from any companies

Yes, I am using it myself! But it is a bit buggy, and with the node thing, not sure if it is easy attracting more users.
They offer cloud hosted nodes for you. Also, it’s a lot more reliable if you run it outside Tor.
Now I see what's the issue 🙊

I like the idea of earning sats with content, but I think new platforms should pay less attention to promoting the "earning" part.
Why not make it more fun and easy for the creators to connect with their audience? 👀
Nice post thanks!

Probably, but I prefer staying away from KYC wallets 👀
there is also zapread a nice content creation website, what do you think about it?
Just have a look, feels a bit messy 👀
Somehow I still like more the podcast v4v experience in Breez, but the main issue is that Breez doesn't have all podcastindex.org podcasts.
Exactly, and I mostly use Breez as a wallet only 😂

@Natalia, Lightning, not lighting.
Sorry for my typo sometimes(hey, I am a human 😂 ). SN def needs an edit option!
I live for the day LN-auth has me signing into everything.
I really like what alby is doing to try and push that
Yes, and I was surprised how easy to integrate with Alby to the sites⚡️
