I did something similar. Opened a 0% credit card and used that for my regular fiat purchases. The fiat I didn't spend because of the card has gone into buying Bitcoin. As the 0% gets close to expiring, if I haven't paid off the card, I'll open another 0% card and transfer the balance.
Got the idea from @DEEPFUCKINGHODL on Twitter. He's apparently done this multiple times. So far it's working well.
I did this back in March 2020. When Bitcoin had that crash almost to $3k I took one of my credit cards and did a huge purchase then did a “DCA” over the next 12 months to pay it off with a 0% balance transfer with a one time 5% fee. When BTC went to $69k it was an amazing trade in fiat terms I could have easily sold the BTC to cover the credit card but I didn’t. I just used the cash flows from my fiat job to pay off the card and kept the sats in cold storage

that for my regular fiat purchases
So you mean like food etc?
The fiat I didn't spend because of the card has gone into buying Bitcoin.
So you had a monthly limit on that card and the rest you didn't spend in that month went into bitcoin?

Yes, anything that I normally would have bought with fiat, I put on the credit card instead. No monthly limit, just ensure you don't overspend more than you normally would. I paid on it occasionally with my Fold card, but I've stacked so much more Bitcoin doing this.
