Meet Bitrefill, your new best friend: https://www.bitrefill.com/

Fala, @mateusdeap

Se vc não se importar com KYC para valores pequenos, agora dá pra enviar PIX direto do app da Bipa.

Não usei ainda mas parece prático. Pelo q entendi quando eles anunciaram, não precisa nem ter o valor em reais, pode estar tudo em sats q eles fazem a conversão automaticamente.

I've been using the Bitcoin Company visa card a couple times half a year ago here in the EU and purchased one again recently, to encounter the same problem as you, google pay wouldn't let me load it. It seems some new law went in the way since then (3D something). It was asking me address and name which the card obviously hasn't while "trying to contact my bank". Contacted all sides which, with no surprise, bounced back the issue to each other and telling me to contact them, quite a pain. I ended up using it to get a gift card on amazon.

Using bitrefill lately and works smooth but indeed, like said in the comment, it's the same as selling for cuckbucks. Doesn't further anything.

I sometimes try to orange pill small shops around (especially those who are more likely to not care about taxes, like night-shops, restaurants and mechanics) or at least just quickly ask if they may accept it, just to pike their curiosity. Sometimes if they don't plain reject it, I explain that all they need to do is to dl a wallet but then I mostly encounter laziness or whatever excuses. Also I don't always have the right mood for it.

Lately the best has been to let friends pay then reimburse them with sats. Or just ask them for some fiat against sats.

Btc maps is cool and there are online goods that accept it and it's usually nothing you can eat. There is also https://shopinbit.com/ , don't know if it works in Brazil.

So, not any better solutions that I could read here already I guess. Best is indeed to succeed to orange pill small commerces around and friends who produce needed goods, difficult and long term job and some people are also just better at convincing, I'm not that good, haha.

Xd feels strange, I thought I had written this post. I’m in the same situation and tried the same things! I came to two solutions: orange pill local shops (but they will stop accepting crypto if demand is not high) or strike offer us a spendable Visa card like Binance did in the past. Xd

Just use any LN wallet and pay P2P. That's all. Read more here:

I'm basically trying my best to create a local Bitcoin economies where I'm and spend Sats for regular things like (food and beverages, barbers, transportation, we have a Bitcoin bar 😜, etc). If you're wondering where near you can find such merchants, please refer to BTCmap

If you ask about online merchants who accept Bitcoin, one used these and I'm glad about their services

Bitrefill, The Bitcoin Company, SatsBack

I mainly use Bitrefill

I live in Brazil and I opened an account in https://www.xapobank.com/banking-services/global-debit-card So I can spend bitcoin using Xapo card. And Xapo support lightning too. If you have interest in open a Xapo account and would like a referral code, tell me. Thanks

https://www.qerko.com/ offers Bitcoin Lightning payment in hundreds or thousands of restaurants in Europe.

https://www.alza.de/ also has Bitcoin Lightning as a payment method. They are basically like Amazon, they sell everything.

BTCMap.org especially when traveling to find local merchants.

Oshi to buy online from merchants who are usually holding the Bitcoin and trying to build a circular economy with it. Higher integrity merchants. The caveat here is that Oshi has been going through a lot of changes recently. They seem to be phasing out their mobile app and opting to be more web based. So, keep that in mind when using them... there may be bugs and clunky UI for now.

I try to avoid using the gift card sites such as bitrefill because they support altcoins and the merchants are getting paid in fiat. It doesn't make a stand the way paying in Bitcoin does. It doesn't further the revolution. We should want to support merchants who understand the value of Bitcoin, and boycott those who don't.

Cash app is pretty good. It supports lightning, a debit card, and it is bitcoin only. Its like a bank account. You can even deposit cash at many places and purchase or sell bitcoin on the app, super easy.

TheBitcoinCompany rewards auto withdraw to my SN wallet, can login with paynym.

Not everything can be paid in bitcoin nowadays. But one can make an effort to find alternatives (when possible) that accept Bitcoin (lightning is preferable).

I wish I was using it for more.

Adoption on vendor side is is muuuch slower than adoption on buyers side.

Beyond those vendors that accept Bitcoin for the sake of using "Bitcoin accepted here" as marketing, there is very little. It's not yet reached normie sellers of goods and services.

Look here https://spend-sats.com/spendbitcoin/debit-cards/

Some I use fintrust or advcash

Doesnt Novadax offer that service ?

just use a lightning wallet or ecash and scan the QR

easy and fast

if you really want a card, you can set up an NFC but you might need to help your merchants with app setup on their end

for online you could use wasabi "buy anything" service

btcmap for local businesses.

and bit refill
