Show Notes

Fold shipped something Bitcoiners have talked about for years - physical Bitcoin gift cards you can buy at a normal grocery store. In this clip, Steve Lee (@moneyball) explains why the “credit-card-sized sats card” might be the best UX for gifting and onboarding since it’s familiar, simple, and doesn’t require walking someone through an exchange. They walk through how loading works, why distribution is tightly controlled, and how these cards can double as a privacy-respecting onramp when bought with cash.
