I am trying keep my spending inside bitcoin, i've been using vouchers and getting friends to accept bitcoin as a payment method when they pay for me, and trickling out sats, and then replacing the sats I spend.
It's good fun and gets people interested in bitcoin once they own a little bit of it, I've had more success with this method than just giving away sats.
I saw this announcement on Twitter about the Bitcoin company virtual card now and thought I'd give it a try loaded it up with sats from my LN wallet and made a purchase, was super simple.
Yes yes, its custodial but still, the bridge the gap between bitcoin and normie commerce is getting smaller by the day

I am still "struggling" to spend what I earned in 2013... :) I now earn ONLY in BTC. No more fiat accepted.

LOL not a bad problem to have, my old stack is safely set aside, my new stack, I am happy to mess about with it, on LN but still very much a tiny fraction
