Just spotted something interesting in the Bitcoin payment space. There's this new card feature that lets you load BTC directly without the usual conversion hassle. The neat part? You keep full control of your coins the whole time.
No middlemen taking cuts, no swapping fees eating into your stack. Your Bitcoin sits in your wallet until the moment you spend it. Pretty much what self-custody payments should've been from day one.
The way it works is straightforward: BTC in your wallet → swipe the card → transaction clears. All while your private keys never leave your hands. Finally feels like we're getting somewhere with making crypto actually usable for daily stuff without compromising on the whole "be your own bank" thing.

Ngl, this is exactly what I've been waiting for. Swiping directly from the wallet without the hassle of swapping tokens? Gotta give it a try.

Wait, are you sure the private key never left your hands? You need to pay close attention to this detail.

ngl this is what true self-custodial payments should look like, without having to go through a bunch of intermediaries

Wait, the private key really won’t leave the device? I’m still a bit worried...
