Last Notes npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Spreading some @nprofile…qd3g around Vilnius during our @nprofile…kc0g with @nprofile…v46r 🧡 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Tier 1 up to 10K€/month and up to 25K in deposits, whereas Tier 2 is unlimited npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace The world is doing its thing again... npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace The power of @nprofile…gs3w: npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Just sent straight to your LN address 😉 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Merchants don't accept Bitcoin directly? No problem. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Yeah, it's still a compromise we need to take to be able to interact with traditional finance (cards, IBANs). We hope for the endgame of native Bitcoin payments sooner, but currently it's a bit of a chicken & egg problem with merchants - not enough users asking to pay, so not enough merchants accept it, and vice versa. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace You can connect any self-custodial Bitcoin setup you want as a source/destination for our tools. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Depends on your tax jurisdiction. Some countries like Germany or Portugal have 0% capital gains on coins held for at least 1 year. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace 1. Revolut pushes for custodial services, they want to hold your Bitcoin and your keys. At wavespace we build the platform in a way that works with any Bitcoin setup, and we actively push to self-custody your coins. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Bitcoin is better money. But it's still very much disconnected from daily finances: npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Maybe it’s one and the same person? 🤔 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Have you claimed your LN address yet?? Satoshi is already taken, but we still have a lot of cool handles available! npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Not yet, but we have all your feature requests noted since our last chat! npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Some fiat mines pay out bi-weekly, or so I've heard npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Big news, Bitcoiners! The next chapter of wavespace is live! 🎉 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace You always need to check your bag. Don’t trust, verify 😂 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Could you reach out over chat support on the website so we can investigate your case? You can also try using another device/browser npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace That is correct. Interacting with traditional finance rails in Europe is a regulated activity. We need to abide by these rules in order to be able to give you: npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace No FX fees if spending in non-EUR fiat. You would get the interbank rate. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace If I remember correctly, the main difference is that you would have to manually sell into the BitPay card, which just spends fiat at that point. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace No one is forcing you to be a taxpayer in the jurisdiction with 20% capital gains. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace It's great that you managed to create such a bubble around yourself, where a few basic merchants are enough for your lifestyle. However, it's naive to think that you will get the early majority to live on the Bitcoin standard like this. It's already hard for them to digest the volatility, let alone the lifestyle changes required to be able to pay only in BTC directly. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace From user’s perspective, he is spending BTC from his self-custodial Lightning node connected to wavecard via Nostr Wallet Connect. Yes, Bitcoin is sold to fund the purchase, but ONLY because the receiver is not taking Bitcoin. It’s basically selling Bitcoin on behalf of the merchant. If 99%+ of society takes fiat today, how are you supposed to pay for groceries, pay rent, buy tickets? npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace I don't know on what planet do you live on where everyone around you accepts BTC directly, but please come to Europe and try living your life where 99% of merchants and landlords want Euros in exchange of goods & services. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace I mean you can keep posting the same ignorant screenshots over again on each post, but it just doesn’t work like that with debit cards. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Nope npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace 🟠 PHYSICAL WAVECARD IN ACTION! npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace What's funny is that even if he would have a local milkman that is taking only BTC, that milkman would still have to sell that BTC to pay his bills. As long as Darth doesn't see the fiat conversion happen in front of his eyes, it's apparently all fine. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace I suspect Darth posts directly from the future, where there is 100% BTC acceptance on Earth. Gives me hope! npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace @nprofile…l0ea tell me one thing. When you go about your day and need to buy some milk, or fill up some gas, do you carry physical fiat shitcoins with you in your pocket? How do you pay? npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace https://blossom.primal.net/ff3efa762003d26f0d78ca033df860e53b12b3a3c26f49ed3af8aa0e7d6e6379.gif npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace @DarthCoin is our biggest “supporter” from day 1 on Stacker News. Very consistently slandering us on all socials. Here’s a bit more in depth context of our different takes on this matter: npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace It can be used globally, including the UK, but we can only accept KYC from EEA citizens or residents. We cannot accept UK residents. So you could be a UK citizen but would need to have residency within Europe npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace DO YOU WANT TO BE SATOSHI NAKAMOTO? npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace PHYSICAL WAVECARDS ARE FINALLY HERE! npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Getting this Bitcoin Wall Calendar ready for 2026 🚀 Thanks @nprofile…xyfu for putting this together, happy to be sponsoring such cool initiatives! npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace That's true. We're solving this friction from the user side, not the merchant side. Our tools are for someone who wants to live on Bitcoin, yet has to pay in fiat in 99% of the cases. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Unfortunately, non-KYC cards are much more limited. Not accepted by as many merchants, not possible to add on mobile wallets, no physical cards as well. And sometimes non-KYC simply means that they won’t ask for details proactively, but they might freeze your balance and still ask for KYC if they don’t like your transactions. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Glad to be helping you live on Bitcoin 🫡 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace For the record, we identified the issue to be related to our IP checker provider being on end-user's specific DNS blacklist. We're using a third-party IP checker to serve a simple EU disclaimer. Removing that IP checker from the user's blacklist helped resolve the issue. We will check if there's a way to get rid of this third-party reliance all together. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace I realized that, and sent another dm over Iris. Are you able to see that? npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Hey! Could you reach out over support, so we can investigate your issue specifically? Some of our users do use VPN successfully, we haven’t added any specific blocks recently. In fact, we removed one dependency on IP checkers that was blocking private Firefox sessions before. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace SANTA CLAUS COMPETITION UPDATE npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Someone has already beat the leader with 712,519 sats wavecard payment. The competition goes on! 🎅 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Who is the biggest Santa Claus? npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace You could also define it as "involuntary donations to questionable causes" npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace 🟠 NEW: TRANSACTION EXPORTS npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Did you know that you can spend Bitcoin from your self-custody via Garmin Watch?

Can’t wait for 2026 🤝 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace 1. From user’s perspective, he is spending BTC from his self-custodial Lightning node connected to wavecard via Nostr Wallet Connect. Yes, Bitcoin is sold to fund the purchase, but ONLY because the receiver is not taking Bitcoin. It’s basically selling Bitcoin on behalf of the merchant.

Wherever Bitcoin is accepted directly, you should always pay with no intermediaries. And all Bitcoiners still have the duty of persistently orange-pilling merchants, regardless of the payment method used today. You should always ask for paying with Bitcoin. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace SOLD MY BITCOIN… npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace No need to hold any Euros anymore!

The wavecard already allows you to spend Bitcoin anywhere globally, by selling it at the last possible second and funding the fist payment for a merchant. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Funny thing about the last 10 years - all you had to do was click one button to make it. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace GM npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Say no to Kraken, Coinbase, Binance and other CEX'es! npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace wavecard gibt es seit neustem auch als AlbyHub applet! 💳 🐝💨 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Amazing initiative! Let’s make it happen 🧡 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Bitcoin is superior money, and early adopters already recognise that. But it still lacks the network effects that make it a pragmatic means of payment for the remaining majority. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Applying as we speak 🤝 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Too early, need more cheap sats 🙏 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace knobs ftw! npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Don't miss your chance to win a limited edition Seedor Kit! npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Mcdonald’s accepts Bitcoin?? 🤔 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Self-Custodial Mode is now even more powerful! npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Sell all fiat, anon! npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Nice wave Jeff! 🤙🏄♂️ npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Fair enough 👍 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Glad to be sponsoring this campaign! The community needs more people working on Bitcoin 🔧🧡 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace This would be unique for each jurisdiction. Technically, each payment is a BTC sale. We will provide you with an exportable transaction list that would have the associated exchange rates and fees. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Let’s go 🤝🧡 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Definining = limiting. Seeking to describe the absolute freedom is a futile effort. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Hard to say. We're following the regulatory developments there, seems like things are starting to slowly move to the right direction, but at the moment it's still a bit too early for us. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Maybe on the stage? 🤔 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Exactly! Even your disposable fiat income can be swapped to BTC. All you need is to be able to instantly liquidate it in your daily life. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Are you at @npub1w2e…pmgp today? Let’s meet up 🤝 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace 🏆 LEADERBOARD UPDATE npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace 🔥 Europe’s Bitcoiners – it’s game time. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Maybe a contender for 4-5th spot, but with a spread of around 2% is not among the cheapest for sure. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Not your keys, not your Bitcoin! npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Not yet. At the moment the closest option is to add it on your mobile wallet for contactless payments npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Fair enough npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace When the merchant doesn't accept BTC directly, but you still spend your sats with the wavecard: npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Thank you for your kind words! We're on a mission to enable more "Zero-Euro Bitcoiners". npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace What does it take to live on Bitcoin in Europe today? npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Bitcoin’s value is like time - both inevitably advance in one direction. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace That’s a very comprehensive response, thanks! The main idea for our Bitcoin card is that you would be able to hold BTC until the last possible second, and also with self-custody in mind (powered by NWC). Indeed, if you still have fiat, I’d say the rational priority is to spend that over “hard” money. But for those that want to already live on Bitcoin, and allocate their disposable income (which is still on average a rational choice even if you spend it the same month) such solution as wavecard solves the instant liquidation peoblem in all of those cases where merchants do not accept BTC directly. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace What card do you use for 1.2% total, if I may ask? Does it also not have any FX fees while travelling? npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace GM! Great words to start the day 🙌 npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Some argue that Bitcoin is like an IQ test, but it’s much more of an EGO test. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Exit the ponzi. Live on Bitcoin. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Potentially, but we do not have any concrete timelines for that. Would need to find a licensed partner in other jurisdictions for issuing debit cards. npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu wavespace Very motivating to hear this! And we have so much more planned for the wavecard, as well as for the whole self-custodial Bitcoin banking experience 🙌
