Bought a supermarket voucher from The Bitcoin Company
How's that service anyway? Been hearing of it recently and I'm seeing wild reward % like 15-20% on some brands. Am I misunderstanding? 15-20% "cash back" (sats back) can't be right ... Can it?
Nice, you are making the bitcoin circular economy run faster!

Wow, that's a record!
What do you mean for "Keychains from Thailand via nostr"?
A nice handmade one from Thailand, well spotted!
Zaps & monthly CC payments
CC payments? how are you repaying it with bitcoin? any third party service?
In Canada there's Bitcoin Well & Bull Bitcoin that do it similar.
Go to bill payment, put in amount, pay in sats and they send dollars to your bill/CC
I don't do it all the time but it's a smooth process now compared to before (sell BTC, send Fiat to bank, pay bill)
Wow... that's fantastic! Do you mind sharing the service name or site? or is an app?
Sorry I forgot to reply.
A few exchanges in Canada have that feature (bill payment) - such as Bull Bitcoin & Bitcoin Well.
They may only work for Canada + US, but I'm not sure.
It's really smooth, you just add your payee like in any banking app: can be a credit card, electricity bill, etc. then you say how much you want to pay and get a BTC invoice. Pay it with BTC and they pay your bills for that amount in Fiat.
It's a nice alternative way to try living a bit more on a Bitcoin standard, but also a nice way to "sell BTC". Rather than selling for Fiat, withdrawing to bank, paying bill, you just so it in one step.
A croissant, eggs, Kagi and a donation, all via LN
no fiat vouchers ;)
That's the way! You have your preferred seller accepting sats for croissants and eggs? shop chain or local market/cafe?
eggs straight from a small farmer wich I orangepilled
croissant was trough a "proxy", friend bought the croissant with fiat, I sent him sats

I paid for Kagi recently. I made a geyser donation.
I also bought some plushies from uncute.
That's an original purchase. I have seen the Here Come Bitcoin plushy, love it!
As part of them selling the plushy, they added btc checkout which is pretty cool.
Another orange pilled shop, thanks to the Shopify and BTCpay server integration! It would have been weird to pay with fiat for such a nice gadget!
I spent some sats to open a lightning channel ;-)
The better investment ever for your privacy and sovereignty
Bought a physical copy of "The Blocksize War" at a Bitcoin meetup in Christchurch (NZ) a couple of weeks ago :)
Well done! Did you get a discount for paying with sats?
No, but I don't mind, because I know the dude selling them wasn't doing it for the profits anyways, his main mission is just to get some Bitcoin and Bitcoin-adjacent books physically in the hands of New Zealanders, and he's doing it on a very small scale, so his profit margins must be really thin or non-existent anyway
it's a long term strategy!
Low time preference and all 🤠
Dry beans from Amazon using a gift card purchased with Sats from The Bitcoin Company
Circular economy up! Shame we still need to use fiat intermediaries.... how hard is to find dry beans from local producers in your area?
No, sometimes at farmer's markets.
much better I'd say! true is that's much more convenient when stuff arrives home
too inconsistent for my dietary needs
Panties for Bitcoin!
Another interesting bitcoin-only product! Thanks for sharing
Bitcoin-only but not panties-only!
Bought a voucher from my brother! 😃 I don't know how to buy one. I took help
Asking for help is always a good opportunity to learn! What's the gift cad for? Atzeco?
I had recently bought Netflix pass via bitcoin
Via BitcoinCo?
After a pleb walk yesterday we finished at our local cafe and bought lunch with sats, unfortunately they have taken down their bitcoin stickers
Oh no! Do you know why?
they had some disparaging comments from normies on their facebook page a while ago, don't know if more of that has happened but we will keep going in there with smiles

That's an useful service I'm personally thinking to switch to... do you use it as backup or is the only sim you are currently using?
