GM🌅✝️🙏 Looks inviting!
You can use it online. If you want to use it as tap to pay, unfortunately Curve doesn't allow it as it is in usd, so you need goolag pay. As i keep a spare phone just for banking apps and other things attached to my "government" persona, its on that.
I hasten to add that said spare Goolagged phone is switched off unless needed, has no Sim card and only gets to piggy back from wifi or hotspot
Thanks
No nostr login, count me out.
Also GM!

Playing bad Cop and good Cop today then? 😂
Yea you should follow @Ben Sessions
Where do you think I stole the information from in the first place, although it was from his recent Bitchat video 😂
Yes, it was in there briefly as well. Too bad we’ve come full circle to traditional banking where they charge you a yearly fee to choose the card(not to mention the tax implications for using btc as money)
They also have deposit fees and FX charges.
There's a high cost to be KYC free.
People are more likely than not depositing KYC sats on to these cards.
Probably
Yup just got one of these, but only came to know of it through advertising on my Alby Hub. Hardest part was choosing a name for the card. They didn’t like “Charles Frost” for some reason. 🤩
Just not playing 😂
Alby hub have adverts? 😱
I need to login again to see what else is new 😂
Not seeing any adverts on my Alby Hub (which is hosted on my Umbrel).
And real or a scam?
Scams are real too 😂
You decide:
😂
Yea I only mean if it works as intended or not. The website name just does not seem as if visa would have created it 😂
There are a few Bitcoiners using it. It has fees, monthly subscription, deposit fees and FX fees. It is only a virtual card, but you can add the card to Google pay and Apple Pay may be coming in the future, so you can tap out at merchants as well as buy online. So it's real, but you pay for KYC free with the higher fees than a lot of other KYC options have.
Ok thanks for letting me know. Good to know about the option.
When you use it via apple pay or google pay, you are just back on the privacy level you have with every google or apple pay transaction.
It's great! One issue I see though, when you use it in the EU, is that Freedomia probably doesn't have that MiCA license. If you then use a VISA card in Europe without your real name and you are identified somehow ... then only time will tell what consequences that may have.
KYC is such a strange, megalomaniac concept. But it's real and implemented in the EU.
Really good point
I think the VISA system itself doesn't ask for a name. I will use the card with my garmin watch for payments.
It's the "Cards" tab on the left.
Noted, will check it out next time I log in.
