 Which is cheaper for the long term DCA, Strike or River? 
 I’ve been using strike all year. They instituted zero fees for DCA users  
 Is it actually 0 fees? Or they sell you a higher price? 
 They got rid of the spread model and went with tiered fees you can see in the link. Recently for recurring purchases they removed fees altogether

 Why not both 🧐 haven’t used River but I assume they have zero fees for buying as well, plus their proof of reserve is a nice plus 
 Long term? KYC is going to cost you more, so neither. 
 Why? 
 Off the top of my head: 

• Inevitable data leaks put you at risk of attack
• Capital gains 
• Unrealized gains
• EO-6102-style confiscation

 
 Literally all these can happen both ways u buy it… 
 No 
 ? 
 Nobody knows that I own Bitcoin

You are on a government database of Bitcoin owners

We are not the same

 Why u gotta say that to me? 😭 
 For me it is Strike. One free withdrawal in a month. 
 Idk, but River's KYC sucks. I failed it for some unknown reason and can't try again for 30 days. Has happened to others too. Reached out to support and got ghosted. So I've got sats I can't move 🎉 Strike has always been great 
 Yea I’m on strike now
