 we’re seeing a massive spike in activity on Strike right now, lots of users needing higher ACH limits, lots of users looking to reactivate their account, lots of customers placing large Private orders, etc.

if you, a family member, a friend, a colleague, etc need anything you can always just ping me here. one of the ways we differentiate at Strike is we are Bitcoiners that care deeply about Bitcoiners. 

and if you aren’t using Strike give it a try, we’ve come a long way and are more than ready for this bull run. no-fee DCA, target orders, free-on chain payments, some of the cheapest fees, available in 100+ countries, and most importantly our systems were online 100% yesterday. here to serve if you need us 🫡

 We are waiting for Nostr Wallet Connect support, nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhs0ewmnv :) 
 will check on this 
 This is the real quest. 

Jack, keep kicking ass and taking names. 
 *question 
 when Italy 🇮🇹🤌🤌🤌 
 This is why you're one of the best in the game G💜 
 Two Factor Auth please and thank you. 
 launching this month 🫡 
 Right on. Hardware devices instead of just OTP or phone number/email, I hope. 
 Nice 
 Your work is amazing Jack. Kuddos and thanks 
 Love strike, thanks Jack.

LFG! 
 🫡🫂 
 I'm sure you guys are working on it, but making Strike available in Switzerland would be cool. 
 You'd think that Switzerland would be one of the easiest places to offer a financial product. 
 love strike 
 I have been using strike for years with the same bank account. Somehow it got deauthorized during the dip and I’m having to reconnect it but it’s not working. Had to switch to River so I could buy the dip. Username is allen. I’ve messaged support. 
 If the government comes knocking for data on bitcoiners, I don't see strike saying no. But thanks for caring about us.

🤣 
 jack mallers​ you ask so I reply, we need instant buy with fiat, or instant card charge like in Wise. Btc dropped and I had to wait 1 day for the funds to deposit, then it went up and I had to buy for higher price :( 
 👊🫂⚡️ 
 @strike FTW. The only thing @jack mallers could do to make it better is remove the KYC. But we know that can’t and won’t happen. Not a knock against Strike, just a fact of the game we’re playing. Keep it up Jack, you are making a difference. 🙏🏻 
 listen I really want to go all in on Strike but the last hurdle is a fiat debit card (that can be added to Apple wallet) and account numbers so I can set up my monthly auto pays. your competition has this but we all hate what they’re about. I need you to beat them. 
 Trying to turn Strike into Fold? 
 actually trying to leave RH. 
is that what Fold does? 
 Yezzir. Shameless ref plug  https://use.foldapp.com/r/RYP4FXLN 
 Apple Pay? 
 Yep

 ✍️ 
 gonna check it out ty 
 account and routing number? 
 I’m not giving you my ssn 😂
https://m.primal.net/JqNM.jpg 
 I don’t think you have to? It’s just adding their bank routing into to your payroll. 
 Looking forward when Strike become available in New York 
 Does Strike have lower fees than River? 
 cash app cheaper than strike  
 we are cheaper than cash app and river 
  i compared strike to cash app a few days ago. $16 vs $21 in fees 
 not sure how that’s true. can you post proof?

 Thoughts Jack? 
 are you using a debit card? where are you in the world? 

if you’re american you can use your bank account for free 
 US, American, Debit. 
 The bank account method locked my funds from leaving Strike for about two weeks, Never doing that again 
 just a heads up this dude is a literal nazi just go check his profile 
 

https://s3.poster.place/poster-media/71d0bca44766e131a28d02d96233bf4a56c75029d8ca1ec0ee0332dfe4638e84.mp4 
 nothing more needed to say at this point 
 there's no way that he's running that website without the blessing of the government also 
 there is no such thing as a nazi in this day and age who isn't a fed or following someone who is 
 yeah, took a while to figure out to click on profiles and read several pages of notes and things before Following or Replying. It's too easy to get lulled into "everyone's so nice and smart here, and just a little edgy". 

there's also the case of the constant Reposts which i'm not sure if those are real people or algorithms either. 
 i think so, yea 
 🤝downloading your app sir 
 strike is my go to for stacking sats. it's so incredibly easy to just send 'cash' from my bank account to my lightning address. it makes quick smash buying incredibly easy.

nostr:note1qq6deraa7wj7eluku2rcheetdudaug7jhslecgyjtl75vq0seytseza3u7  
 Strike is becoming my new favourite way to stack sats in Europe...

 Please more payment methods for Mexico 🙏 
 totally, working on it 
 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks @jack mallers and TEAM! 
 What's the KYC process? I'm on the UK. Who gets to seey details? 
 Yeah that's the crucial question right there #kyc #privacy 
 🇨🇦 Canada when?  
 I would love to use it but... My KYC BS didn't get accepted. 😒 
 DM me, will take a look 
 Love strike! Please consider implementing passkeys for withdrawing! 
 The Liz Warren mega-karens will be defeated 💥💥💥 
 STILL NOT AVAILABLE IN NY 
 trying. we’ll get there 
 Dude, you have been saying this for 2 years now. You can incorporate in foreign countries but not in NY state. I know it is a commie state but at least it is still America 😂 
 NY has a special license called the Bitlicense that makes it incredibly difficult to launch in NY. ask the other jack why cash app doesn’t have Lightning in NY after years. same thing. unfortunately nothing we can do, it’s the state of NY that’s preventing us 
 If Coinbase and Gemini can get a license, why can’t Strike? 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
 it took them as long as it’s taking us. we’re working on it, as i said 
 Couldn’t have anything to do with them lobbying for regulations specifically to exclude competitors…

 Hey Jack, 
Is Greece up and running yet?  
 yes 
 Thanks Jack. I'll be catching up with family members about Strike.. Take care 
 Allow fiat deposits in Argentina and I'll use it. 
 working on it 🫡 
 Why am I charged a fee for direct deposit converted straight to BTC?  Shouldn’t that be the same as DCA? 
 Hey Jack, Sorry to bother again regarding Greece. I assume when I get them up and running that we're talking about moving Federal Reserve Notes from the U.S. into  Euros in a Greek Strike account? Then if needed they can move the Euros to their brick & mortar bank in Athens?  
 Might be worth including some kind of tooltip or popup that explains why the price on the main chart doesn't match the price when you put in a buy order.

I know we can now do limits, and I understand spreads, but I think the average new Bitcoiner will just think Strike is hiding something. 
 Another good question @jack mallers  
 target orders came in clutch this weekend fasho 
 funny you say, I registered with Strike this week and it is now my go to Bitcoin app and my daily DCA set. 

Depositing cash is so easy, probably one of the cleanest and quickest UI I've ever used for this.  
 Been a Strike member for years, never ever so much as a glitch!
We appreciate You, Jack and Team! 
 I'm surprised how fast it (L2) is. 

Blown away actually.

I noticed you have a job opening for an accountant, I’m not one however do you have any other open positions in mind for Strike?

I'm actively onboarding with a commercial scale bitcoin mining company right now as an operator/mining technician.

I'd just really like to work in the bitcoin economy, in any capacity. (or anyone reading this let me know plz.)
 
 is India up and running? 🤔 
 YEAH I DONT TRUST ANY EXCHANGE. STRIKE WILL GO DOWN AGAIN EVENTUALLY, AND I FOR ONE WONT GET CAUGHT WITH MY PANTS DOWN ANYMORE LMFAO 
 Open for Chinese to register to try Please 
 what about the deposit fee? on dca 
 liquid support?  
 When SKorea 🇰🇷? 
 I'm a happy European user for sure  
 I love strike. I just sent some sats from Strike to Zap people. I have mining payouts going to Strike because I needed some lightning BTC. I’ve still never gotten any engagement on here from anyone I message. 
 appreciate you. zapped ⚡️ 
 Thx man, love the podcast too. 
 Hello Jack seems Strike is not yet available in Spain, waiting for you and hodling
