 Excellent work.   Would be great to have this without having to connect to a bank.  Is that possible?  
 what do you mean by that? 
 I'll go on a limb and say maybe get the option to load your strike account with fiat using gift cards as an example? Can purchase a strike gift card for $25 in person, load it into the app, buy Bitcoin. 

Could be wrong here though. 
 That's an interesting idea. What about Azteco vouchers ??  
 Louche selon quelques pays dans l'EU où la qualité totalité des nouvelles lois contraignantes ont été créés en France ces 5 dernières années bien avant le Brexit   l'entente ( voire alliances) franco-britanique et leur rivalité après la guerre des Royaumes d'Europe  demeure toujours  
 It is my understanding that in order to use Strike, we have to be connected to a bank?  maybe i am wrong? 
 First, link your bank account or debit card to your account to fund your account.
Add your debit card or bank account details. Strike uses Plaid to connect with your bank.
Once it’s connected, you type the amount of money you want to send and there you go. 
 Obligé pour les 1ers achats via nos propres cartes à moins de payer en ligne qui  semble louche en référence aux législations de chaque pays.. Espère votre réponse  
 i can’t move btc on strike right now because my usd balance mysteriously went negative. nothing in cash history to indicate why.  i can’t even sell a little btc to zero the balance bc the account is locked. i HAVE to deposit from a fiat source! no response from support though it’s just been 7 hours.  i’m worried. this experience is antithetical to bitcoin.. :P 
 Strike has fiat on/off-ramps. You can't do that without KYC, this is the law.
You can get a Lightning wallet for transacting with the LN without KYC.
But only with sats, no $. Yet. Until stablecoins on LN are a thing.
