Living 100% on #Bitcoin via @CashApp, @Bitkey, and @Square. Documenting friction, wins, and gaps in the circular economy along the way. Starting July ‘26… No sponsors nor tips accepted. Pure signal.

Flagged this with @CashSupport and they said they’ll inform the team 💪

Like with Chase, funding worked when I connected the same card directly through Cash App settings So not a blocker, but definitely first-time funding friction for anyone trying to move money into Cash App quickly

Take 2 at funding @CashApp via Apple Pay 🎬 This time I tried a Capital One debit card instead of Chase… 🧵

@tslanerd @CashApp Yeah, I’ve noticed that too.. I’m going to try finding via an old Capital One checking account I have and see if that experience is smoother

@LivingOnBlock @CashApp Chase is the most stringent towards any company that deals with bitcoin.

@CashApp checking account is funded - all set to start the #LivingOnBlock journey in July 💪 That said, there were a few hiccups along the way… 🧵

@MariaPesce_ @CashApp @Bitkey @Square Thank you - really appreciate the support! Will definitely be reaching out!

@LivingOnBlock @CashApp @Bitkey @Square I'm so here for this!! Let us know how we can support you 🧡

This isn’t a one-person experiment If you’re using @CashApp, @Bitkey, or @Square in your day-to-day, we want to hear it: wins, friction, and everything in between Tag it with #livingOnBlock We’ll feature the best stories on livingonblock.com

@BitsOfJT @BlockWhaleXYZ @jack I considered that! I’ll definitely be trying the stocks experience with other stocks soon, but I’d like to stay uninvested in $xyz for now so I can stay 100% unbiased for everyone following along

@LivingOnBlock @BlockWhaleXYZ @jack You should buy $xyz via cash app in their stocks part

Wow this could be one of @jack's burner accounts, or just an unknown maverick!!? But this guy has committed to fully '@LivingOnBlock' He's now living his whole life on Block infrastructure and highlighting any issues along the way!! Go well @LivingOnBlock 🫡 $XYZ

Apple Pay still doesn’t work for me, and the in-app @CashSupport chatbot doesn’t know why either. BUT I found a workaround so all is good! Plus, this flow will go away entirely when I start direct depositing my paycheck to CashApp 🚀

Attempt 2: Link my bank account Next, I tried linking my bank account directly via Settings - the transfer was declined 😲 This triggered a security notification from Chase (I’ve rarely seen this), BUT after approving it’s worked ever since!

This presentation from @milessuter is a must-watch. @Blocks is one of the few tech giants that is actually focusing on the user's freedom, and not walled gardens and control. They are leading by example. youtu.be/dTzzAsvBTsI?si…

Also, great to see they give you access to the digital version of the card instantly - bought a coffee with it shortly after to be sure it works 💪

Started preparing for July - ordered a @CashApp debit card 🚀 Will make payments easier + adds FDIC insurance to the checking account 🔒 Their design studio to personalize the card is really slick + loved that most designs are free. Had to choose a #bitcoin logo, of course!

My goal is to document the transition openly, share wins + friction, and help show what it takes to make Bitcoin usable in everyday life! Would love any feedback on the idea: livingonblock.com/plan
