I paid for a lot of coffee and pizza with bitcoin, but that was back when the fees were reasonable
Oh, so did I when fees were reasonable. I used to use Gyft all the time to obtain Starbucks, groceries, etc. Now that is totally unthinkable. Bitcoin for that use case is dead.
I still use it for $500 gift cards. But if you know of a legit source for cards to Amazon that accepts xmr, let me know
Did you check coincards? Can’t check it myself right now, sorry for that, but I remember they have a lot of kinds of cards.
I haven’t used the service myself, but looking to do so. I know them by Privacy Guides’s recommendation, if that tells anything. They only recommend Monero for crypto, and Coincards for cards.I use coinsbee.com for GCs with Monero
Ah, that’s that sketch one that sends you secret keys over email
I’ve never personally had a problem with it, but yeah, that’s how they do it.
so you’re the guy
A lot of us did. But this was about 10 years ago.
