I actually enjoy spending crypto using my crypto cards (have a few of them from different issuers). it gives me a sense of getting something tangible in return for something that feels kind of untouchable. Thus, I use crypto regularly to cover everyday expenses, mostly groceries and other living costs. At the same time, I still keep the stash set aside for the future. So, I view crypto as both stuff, i.e. currency and digital gold.

But you mostly use USDT on the cards in question, correct?

It’s not always necessary to use USDT. I top up my card accounts with ETH most of the time lately. The fees on this network are quite reasonable compared to what I observed a year ago, and the transactions are fast. Since I keep ETH in my wallet, it just makes sense to use it. Sometimes, I even transfer BTC to my cards it really depends on the situation, and honestly, it doesn’t matter much which crypto I use.
