Let's never forget the time when our Central Bank asked to be on TV to beg for help. Only a man who knows he'll be asked to bail out our banks and inflate away our wealth would go on TV to repeatedly tell us he really doesn't want to. #Bitcoin is the best expression of this nonsense and is going to rip the face off this market. Opt-out. There is no second best. Second Mailbag Monday episode. Every Monday, 5pm EST, we explore relevant truths. Today we talked about how banks are fucked, what is money, and answered some questions for you all. Appreciate all of the support. Keep the feedback, thoughts, and comments coming. Dylan and I were a bit under the weather for this one but the show doesn't stop for nobody. I'm pounding steak and drinking eggs in preparation for next week. Much love 🫡 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO-WP5wxZzI Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-7-us-banking-system-and-inflation-a-looming-crisis/id1695949365?i=1000644273386 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2DmKaHCAmy3PZn79ZuKYu3?si=3t1HorTcQuasoP9vRVCCUQ&nd=1&dlsi=75e35933297f40cc Fountain: https://fountain.fm/episode/jtcSUBMMqbVUf6ITw92N https://m.primal.net/Hast.mp4

"I'm reaching out to everyone for a special request: help me make my cousin's dream of becoming a soccer player come true! We need $2500 for his equipment and travel expenses. Any contribution is greatly appreciated and will make a huge difference. Let's come together to turn this dream into reality! https://image.nostr.build/f6a05bf19bafd40dd27b6e7c437bd449b6c6321509748f29ac6fd0e11ce09731.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=864x1920&blurhash=%5BIDcXTj%5B00WVxuf6ayfR00fP_3ayIUayoffQ%7EqfQIUayj%5Bayt7jtogayWBj%5B-%3BfkM_ayD%25ayxujt&x=9ac234fdd74eea0b041d144677a98f533561c65c1b508100e2d549426e6d4c8d https://image.nostr.build/094162bb547b34b8c189982ebfdc233cd8d792f76a57cf83871a14df02a5f955.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=864x1920&blurhash=%5BJDl%7B2j%4000ayxuf6ayfQ00j%40_3ayIUayoffQ%7EqayIUfQayazt7fPj%5Dayayj%5B-%3Ba%7DIUayD%25ayxuj%5B&x=1fd01f31bcdbb18b0864a9c2f05bb2099b56baf270ddfd3c12908104638fa8ab https://image.nostr.build/dd7cd4cad76fd3d402c21de08b610431848a0daf6e9ae8ceeb3c957fb73941bb.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=864x1920&blurhash=%5BKD9xGj%404nayxuf6WCfQ00j%5B%3FbayIUayogfR%7EqayIUfQt8ayoffQRkayfPfQ%25MfkM%7BayE1ayxuj%5B&x=c1e8e679991d2888eee4e466d629ac56ec2d15b80c0c3dfff9fc83398434e1df

Some feedback on strike, I have made some ACH deposits to buy some BTC and they have been stuck. The BTC is there but I can't send it anywhere because the ACH payment is still settling in the background. That's fine, but it would be great is strike app would give me an estimate for when it expects the payment to settle, and show that in the history tab. Appreciate all the work #strike is doing to bring BTC to the world.

I started a Meetup in Riverside, California. Many of the businesses near me use Clover. I want to them to integrate Strike, pay for coffee and other stuff with bitcoin at my meetups. The goal is to offer some sort of incentive to accept Bitcoin even if they prefer dollars, like saving fees and bringing bitcoiners from Southern California to their business. I want to help Market local businesses to Bitcoiners on nostr by allowing them to easily accept Bitcoin on Clover and Stripe using Strike. How should I get started? What docs do I need to read? How do I get an API to use with Clover? Is it possible to use this API with LNbits?

Yo! Questions for your mailbag Monday today… Hawai’i‘sgovernor has ended the previous “crypto” regulatory regime in the state and opened up the market to more competition, is Strike aware of the changes in Hawaii and working to add Hawaii to its service area? Would be a wonderful help to local Hawaii residents to be able to stack bitcoin using your service!

Love the mail bag Monday shows. You guys are killin' it. I especially liked the most recent one - that you haven't posted here yet. The stories you share about your Dad and how an old school trader looks at bitcoin are fire.
