Yes! And it’s easier to transfer from abroad through remittance apps. 
That’s what I meant when i said you could buy sats faster with out waiting 4days if you sent the $$ to Kenya 😂 

 Banking in the US is still stuck in the 20th century

 Thanks Jack. 

My friend in 🇨🇲 has just installed strike, and I was able to send him 10k SATs. 

Received instantly, mind blown. This is huge!

Please, keep blowing his mind, his lnurl is kemitel@strike.me 😎

Now, I'm onboarding my whole family. 😅

 great! it will be even better once we turn on the bank transfers and mobile money integration 

 I would like to test in Botswana. How can I help?  

 I tried downloading Strike app in Botswana and logging in with my email. After I put in the confirmation code I get a message saying: " Strike is currently not available in your region." "Region Unavailable" so that is currently the case in all of Botswana.  

 Appreciate 🙏🏾 
Yes finna DM now! 

@Brindonmwiine @MasterGuantai @studentofbitcoin 👀👀👀 

 at the moment 😢

the only US states we're missing are Hawaii and NY. trying tho! 

 Thank you We will do everything possible to help support African Countries !  

 This is gonna be epic! 

 Strike Europe is also very soon! Africa first tho 

 Great to hear

Looking forward to having Strike in Europe

I hope EU regulations will not make it impossible or unprofitable for you

 

 nah we got this. long time coming but i'm fucking pumped 

 You da man, Jack 

 Uk? 

 What abt Canada 

 we're hopeful to service NY in 2024 🤞 

 Somebody is paying attention 🎯 

 Yes brother sorry for late reply today I was very busy ,hope u had a very beautiful blessed Sunday . 

 This sound very interesting @jack mallers @Turiz @Fiat Shenanigans 🤡🌎  and @CiderMaker   Look forward to represent Tanzania 🇹🇿 

 🫂🫡 

 yep! 

 Open to test! Sent dm 

 it is! 

 Wow! Looking forward 💯 

 yes, our intended order:

- Strike Africa
- Strike EU
- Strike LatAm 

 Do you have Bit Refill integration in Mexico? 

 Yes, there is BitRefill integration but there aren't as many shopping options as in the USA or Canada.  

 Got it.  

 If I sent 1000 sats to your strike lightning address, can it convert to pesos? 

Can it convert to USD(or a USD stablecoin)? 

 If I wanted pesos, I would have to convert the btc into USDT on my Strike app and then I would be able to do a bank deposit into a Mexican bank (the USDT would be converted into pesos).  

 That's NY's fault, my man. Not Jack's. 

 Isn’t that bc of how hard NY makes it on them ? With all the regulation n licenses ?

ps. I think Africa needs it more than Americans. 

 Yikes man 

 Contact your politicians. They made it really hard to operate in NY.  

 we're trying. it's NY that won't let me, not me 

 Any chance of Emirates ? Or other GCC countries?

 We disagree. Builders gonna build, and fuck authority.

 ✊Power to the Resistance  

 fuck authority by paying taxes to your overlords who restrict financial freedom? I mean I guess you can claim you build hard enough in other areas to overcome that deficit. 

 Someone’s gotta ₿ the change, so I guess it’s gotta be us. Beats complaining about it from somewhere else and doing nothing. 

 There’s 2 schools of thought.
Build around or it  through it. It kind of mirrors the debate of whether it works bringing change from the inside.
Most days I’m for around it but on certain days I think this can’t work. But the 2 prong approach wins 

 We need to keep the pressure on the bureaucracy. It’s been ten years since the BitLicense. It’s done nothing except consolidate power in institutions that have proven they can’t be trusted. 

 Would love all federal and state funded programs to disappear entirely. Have never been able to name a single one I feel can outperform similar options from the private sector. 

 I hear you, but IMHO that isn’t a realistic goal for probably our lifetimes. That’s why it’s important to focus on specific issues that have a chance of success, like repealing or drastically reforming the BitLicense. 

 BitLicense is a complete scam.

“We don’t understand something, so until we do, it’s banned” is so short-sited. It takes a few YEARS for companies to go through the legal system just to be allowed to operate as normal as they can in 49 other states.

Everyone knows this, and not sure who gave NY any authority to operate like this. It hinders innovation and business severely. 

 Exactly 👽 

 The authority....

 I’d say the exact opposite…you know you’re a hardcore bitcoiner if you live in New York. 

We have regulation here that limits access to using certain features of platforms that integrate Lightning and exchanges. For example Strike and CashApp. There are work arounds but those workarounds are not common to many. 

 Bitcoiners in NYC are the resistance ✊ 

 I’d imagine that’s the same for the UK too. Regulation is getting very restrictive for bitcoin/money apps here. Basically can’t buy bitcoin with GBP without going to an exchange that has been KYC’d to the max. Pocketbitcoin was one of the latest to stop payments in GBP. 

 New regulations in the United Kingdom:

The FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) has just introduced the new regulation "PS23/6: Financial promotion rules for cryptoassets" in the UK. This new regulation has come into force in the last few days in a fast-track process and means that from now on we will no longer be able to accept and process transactions in British pounds as we did previously. 

 NY is the worst; a New Yorker 

 Don't blame Jack. NY is not part of America - just one more reason to move away from that dystopian state.  

 Americans are least interested 

 why are you still living in that hellhole? 

 'Suis ntéressée professionnellement Jack, par ce déploiement et vos projets sur l'Afrique Asie etc.. que je suis les projets via les conférences notamment via Africa Bitcoin.. Pourriez vous via DM m'informer sur vos besoins réels sur place une documentation vos plans d'action.. .. J'ai juste remarqué que les pays francophones ou portugais sont peu dans les plans alors qu'ils ont un besoin pregnant de changement de système monétique et de plus il y a une grosse partie de l'Afrique qui est oubliée. Serais prête à y participer besoin cependant de lire plus d'informations sur ce déploiement surtout les territoires concernés après  Ghana, Kenya. Afrique du Sud Nigeria Je vis à Paris surtout disponible. Je m'imprégnerais de vos projets afin de répondre rapidement. Merci. Bonne soirée Jack et est-ce ce plan est en collaboration avec Block Grindless Esaki, Tanzanie !? Dans cette attente 🙏💜🔥✋⚡ 

 🤣

where are you now? we have big international plans this year 

 Any chance of Canada? 

 this year fasho 

 yes to South Africa! 🇿🇦 

 Wow that’s awesome news, if you can get a debit card that can service the South African region, you’ll have some good support.
There are allot of people working in SA who are from the surrounding countries and send and spend money back in their home country, so you will also get their support. 
Malawi 20M, Zimbabwe 16M, Lesotho 3M, Mozambique 34M plus SA 70M that’s a potential 150M marketing base! 
We are currently traveling and have been trying everything to get a card where we can start swiping and spending our Bitcoin through different layers. It’s been 5 years now and nothing has become available so this is fantastic news. 
If you need a Ginny Pig or any advice please reach out, we would love to help! 

 Hi Jack, you should launch SA at this conference end of Jan, 2024: https://adoptingbitcoin.org/capetown-2024/ you can just do a live stream or a prerecorded video explaining how to use the services in SA with a working example connecting to a local bank if possible? Just an idea. 

 Followed you too buddy nice to meet you as well ⚡️⚡️
