 using Bitcoin is not the same as selling Bitcoin.

In fact the circular economy is KEY to Bitcoin's success. Just "use and replace" to keep things ticking along nicely... 
 The implication with this is that the fiat balance is pegged and gets used to pay bills. When the bills are paid in fiat, that night the fiat balance goes back to the peg amount.
I do not argue with you that using Bitcoin in a p2p fashion is important. And I do not want to sell in large amounts.
But realistically I still have to pay most of my bills using fiat. It’s just I want to be in Bitcoin as much as possible until the bills are paid and then replenish to that peg amount to make sure there’s enough for the next bill.
The sweep just makes cash flow easier.
The potential struggle for Strike would be if someone went negative in their fiat account, to the point their Bitcoin balance could not cover it.
