# Can I spend bitcoin with a card without ID?

> Yes. Freedomia is a virtual prepaid Visa you top up with bitcoin over Lightning. It asks for an email, not your ID. The balance sits with a company in US dollars, so only load what you’ll spend soon.

## Steps

1. Sign up with an email you use only for this, and a long unique password.
2. Pay the yearly plan with Lightning. The Founder plan is 60 USD a year.
3. Create the virtual card, then top it up with sats. Each top-up costs 1.3%.
4. Spend online, or tap to pay with Google Wallet on Android. Apple Pay isn’t supported yet.
5. Keep the balance small. You can spend it, not send it back out.

## FAQ

**Is this self-custody?**
No. Once you top up, Freedomia and its payment partners hold the money. They can freeze it, change rules or shut down.

**What does it cost?**
The Founder plan is 60 USD a year. Top-ups cost 1.3%, and spending in other currencies costs 2.5%. Lightning adds a small routing fee.

**Is it legal where I live?**
Local rules still apply. In many countries, spending bitcoin counts as selling it for tax.
