Using Hive To Fund My Habit!

Wow!  That was so cool! Probably, one of the coolest things I did on this blockchain, and boy, was it easy.  I turned a handful of Hive, into a $10 Starbucks gift card!

And, this was all made possible by @brianoflondon's amazing work with the Lighting network! ⚡️⚡️

I also followed the simple directions from @patrickulrich's [post!](https://peakd.com/v4v/@patrickulrich/turning-hive-into-prepaid-visa-cards)

You will just need an account from [The Bitcoin Company](https://links.thebitcoincompany.com/b94Y)(pls use my referral code- 1BAW4C,) and access to the website, [lnd.v4v.app/](https://lnd.v4v.app/).

I highly recommend reading this [post](https://peakd.com/v4v/@patrickulrich/turning-hive-into-prepaid-visa-cards) for detailed information, but this is what I did...

First off, I signed up to [The Bitcoin Company](https://links.thebitcoincompany.com/b94Y)(pls use my referral code- 1BAW4C,) and selected to purchase a $10 Visa gift card (digital only!)

I then copied the invoice, and proceeded to [lnd.v4v.app/](https://lnd.v4v.app/). There, I pasted the invoice. I chose to pay with Hive, and I paid and signed the transaction.  

It literally took seconds, when I saw a $10 Visa gift card in my account.  I even 21 sats back for this transaction. I then, went to my Starbucks app and reloaded the $10.  But you can also choose from many different gift cards they offer, or just use the visa gift card at your favorite store!

So, thanks to @brianoflondon for your great work, and to @patrickulrich for writing the [guide](https://peakd.com/v4v/@patrickulrich/turning-hive-into-prepaid-visa-cards) I followed!

This whole process was so cool and easy. I highly recommend you give this a try!
