A niche virtual-card service for online/media-buying use cases with crypto funding - usable for its purpose, but tier subscriptions, per-card fees and the niche positioning make it a poor general spending card.

FAQ
Which is better for privacy, Lemon Card or PST.NET?
Both cards sit at the same KYC depth: Lemon Card and PST.NET require Full KYC. Privacy separates them only through custody model and data-sharing practice - documented in each review. Lower KYC means less data exposure - and weaker regulatory protection if something goes wrong.
When does my bitcoin get sold on each card?
Lemon Card: BTC sold per transaction. PST.NET: Not documented. Sale timing determines your price exposure between loading and spending.
Which is cheaper overall?
Compare the full stack - top-up, FX, monthly, ATM - against your own spending mix in the fee calculator. Headline numbers alone flip with real usage.
