Two ways to express power: voice and exit. When voice is no longer sufficient, you have one option: exit.

For the first time in human history, we have an alternative financial system fixed in supply, accessible to all, and controlled by no one.

Exit fiat. Long live #Bitcoin

This is our first Mailbag Monday episode. Every Monday we shoot the shit and answer the questions you send in. This week we talked about not owning dollars anymore, the #Bitcoin ETF, Epstein's Banker, ETH isn't money

Also, incredibly important that everyone on the internet ignores my hat hair.

Hard to fathom Dylan let me record a podcast with winter hat hair like this. Cruel. Not what friends do.

a conversation about bitcoin?

don't mind if i do 🤗
https://m.primal.net/HZff.jpg


why not use your credit card to purchase groceries and gas and then pay off the credit card bill with sats?


hmmm, lemme take a look. thanks for flagging


we record tomorrow. might have to go on a rant!


sure. you're basically just saying there is a certain amount of my net worth im going to let get debased and melt

personally, i say no to that lol but to each their own ya know

according to BTC/USD (or any asset in USD) over time you are lighting your purchasing power on fire by holding USD, so i guess ask yourself how much of my purchasing power do I wanna light on fire


what do you mean? you have like 10-12 cap gains events a year and you just pay the taxes

also, think about it, if you have a capital gain that means you avoided asset price inflation. that means you gained against a fiat that is being debased

not wanting to deal with a capital gain is wanting to be poor


the hilarious thing is I think it is a wise monetary decision. that's the funny thing

I day dream about a GameStop type of movement where everyone is like fuck this system lets all live on sats and bankrupt the banks until they stop debasing us. however, even if nobody follows me, I still win because bitcoin is hard money whether people want to admit it or not. my life still gets 50%-100% cheaper every year


right now it's hacky, but if Strike built Bill Pay I think we'd have everything covered


why cant you live on a credit card and just pay off everything once a month from your sats, so only 12 cap gains events all year

also using credit cards are great because you get to spend fiat without needing to own it

it's like a retail fiat short trade for the every day person


I truly believe if we can build a good enough experience for people to live their life on sats we can start a Boston Tea party type movement in the face of what looks to be the biggest monetary debasement era of fiat ahead of us

we're going to be building some tools at Strike around these ideas. curious what the community thinks and what people would need to ditch fiat entirely

Mailbag Mondays are episodes of our Money Matters podcast where Dylan and I collect our “internet mail” and just riff on bitcoin and whatever else you guys wanna chat about.

they release every Monday. more consistent content from me talking about whatever you guys want which is the feedback we got

what should we talk about? my closet is getting a lot of undeserved slander after i offended shitcoiners. maybe we talk ETF, US debt, and i explain the origins and purpose of the closet?

incredible. thank you Alex


I am thrilled to share my new essay

"Stranded: How Bitcoin is Saving Wasted Energy and Expanding Financial Freedom in Africa"

I was profoundly moved by what I saw on a recent trip to Kenya and Malawi.

If this essay can show you even 1% of what inspired me, that's a win… here’s an overview:

We begin in Bondo, a small town in Malawi, a country where only 11% of the population has access to electricity.

The nation suffers 6-8 hours of blackouts a day, but the power in Bondo is consistent because of Bitcoin mining.

The town got its first electricity in 2016, and now is expanding its grid, thanks to Bitcoin, which is buying 100% of the electricity that the micro-hydro stations cannot sell, and giving precious capital to the power company so it can expand operations.

At night, demand dwindles, and in remote places like Bondo, there’s no one else to buy the consistent hydro power.

Enter Bitcoin, powered by internet services like Starlink. A datacenter from Gridless now saves the wasted energy and is powering the community forward.

The big realization: virtually all power generation, especially in rural places, wastes energy.

Bitcoin fixes this.

We are told Bitcoin is a waste of energy but the truth is the opposite.

NOT Bitcoin mining is a waste of energy.

And the kicker: Bitcoin miners create heat.

This heat will be used for productive uses.

General heating in cold climates, and in a place like Bondo? Drying tea, fruit, or cocoa.

Profit from mining won’t just be profit - cost, it will be (profit + profit from externality) - cost.

For context: Malawi is a country that just suffered an IMF-led 44% currency devaluation.

Already one of the poorest nations in the world, where most people save in cash, now citizens can only afford 56% of what they could a few months ago. Per the IMF, more devaluation is on the way.

The kwacha is a disastrous wage technology. Once again, enter Bitcoin, a vastly superior savings mechanism.

The first Bitcoin meetup is happening in the Malawi’s capital this month. We are very early with adoption in this region—2020 in El Salvador terms—but this adoption will turn from a trickle into a torrent.

Up north in Kenya, Gridless has geothermal mines, too. I visited one.

It’s a remarkable site: a humming hut on the site of a lake with a Starlink on top, eating all of the electricity that a water pump does not use: perfectly solarpunk.

Kenya is the world’s largest exporter of cut flowers. There are tons of sites like this, generating power for irrigation, all over the country. All of them waste energy.

Geothermal is beautifully consistent, but the demand is not. Bitcoin fixes this.

Gridless operations like these are generally profitable within the first two years. Now there's biomass, where the company has just launched data centers at sugar and sisal processing factories which before couldn't find buyers for excess electricity.

But now Bitcoin is buying.

This sounds great so far…

But for the hundreds of millions of Africans who don’t have internet access, how are they supposed to benefit?

Enter KG, whose company Machankura provides Bitcoin access to people with no internet.

This is done through USSD — a SMS-type protocol.

The user texts a number, then gets a decision tree, and can send, receive, barter, and purchase a variety of things, all without data.

This is a custodial service for now — but KG and team have plan to make SIM cards signing devices and even Lightning touch points so that people can self-custody and be their own bank without the internet.

A true civilizational leap forward.

Critical: there are 700 million women in Africa, but very very few use Bitcoin.

Marcel Lorraine aims to change that.

A Kenyan entrepreneur who has fearlessly helping schools in Kibera, two years ago she launched Bitcoin Dada, a program to educate women and girls about Bitcoin.

Marcel runs classes every week, with several cohorts per year.

The task is huge but she insists on pushing forward.

She argues Bitcoin can give macro freedom for communities and countries, yes, but also micro freedom at home for women who traditionally take a back seat in finance.

Finally: independence from dependence is a key concept

Femi Longe, director of BTrust Builders, is trying to make that happen.

He’s running a program to train African developers and help them contribute to Bitcoin, to take careers in the industry or become contributors to core.

As Jack Dorsey says, if Bitcoin is going to be used around the world, it has to be made around the world.

Femi refuses to accept a future like today, where cars are made in the West and bought by Africans.

The Bitcoin infrastructure needs to be made in Africa.

The way these pieces could fit together is astonishing.

Unlike in the West, where adoption might mean centralized pools and ETFs, in Africa adoption will mean off-grid mining and potentially millions of self-custodying users, powered by SIM cards.

Africans need Bitcoin, yes.

But Bitcoin needs Africa.

That was blazing clear from my visit last month.

At the end of the day, who is going to help bring electricity and high-quality currency — the building blocks of progress — to hundreds of millions of Africans?

Bill Gates? The UN? The World Bank?

No, they won’t.

But Bitcoin might.

hahaha


hey nostr. currently eating dinner and trying to wrap my head around this exchange I had with "Altcoin Daily"

if the truth makes people fearful, uncertain, and  doubtful is that still FUD?

the fact that shitcoiners are like "nah yeah everything you said on TV is 100% correct, but by telling everyone the truth youre scaring people from buying our shitcoin" has really put my brain in a pretzel

what does this mean


So weird, I use Bitcoin to opt-out of fiat debasement.

I can't believe Jeff's banker said that at Davos...

https://m.primal.net/HYxA.png


lemme know if yall ever need anything!


Jeffery Epstien's banker is worried our pet rock that was up 160% last year against his fiat system can be used for bad things

going on TV in an hour. let's fucking go
https://m.primal.net/HXXq.jpg


this doesn't make sense to me tho. every dollar you own are sats you refused to buy.

bitcoin is far too valuable to own USD. with USD you're just subjecting yourself to asset price inflation, specifically bitcoin price inflation. why own any fiat at all?


not yet


no i'm doing this in the US. ill make a presentation and there's a few features we meed to build at Strike. but if the UX is good enough i dont know why anyone would hold USD


yeah i agree


yes. i think we can man. or at least im gonna try


been living on sats for a little bit now. it's incredible.

bitcoin is the best expression of fiat debasement. why doesnt everyone do this?

if we build a good enough experience to enable living on bitcoin, can we spark a Boston Tea Party type movement?


this year fasho


yes to South Africa! 🇿🇦


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


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


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


🤣

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


yes, our intended order:

- Strike Africa
- Strike EU
- Strike LatAm


we're hopeful to service NY in 2024 🤞


yep!


it is!


Strike Europe is also very soon! Africa first tho


at the moment 😢

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


ah Colombia. ok got it, super interesting.

if you have any other feedback please let me know. Strike LatAm hopefully Q1 as well (bank transfers, cash points, etc)


what about Bitrefill and The Bitcoin Company?


🇳🇬 🇿🇦 🇧🇼 🇬🇦 🇬🇭 🇨🇲 🇰🇪 🇺🇬 🇷🇼 🇸🇳 🇹🇿 🇿🇲 🇲🇼 🇹🇬 🇧🇯 🇲🇱 🇧🇫

few others too might make the first launch


we are launching Strike Africa in 2-4 weeks. cards, bank transfers and mobile money in 20 African countries. will try to get the entire continent with time

are you open to helping us test before public launch? if so, DM me!


David and Jason are incredible


we definitely can, but doesnt this alrwady exist? curious to learn more about thoughts on it

might be working on something like that 🫢


yep, on it


very hard to get the license they require. we’re working on it


hahaha hell no


coming


means a lot, thank you for the support ✊


we can add it. it has the highest fraud rate. i’ll take a closer look, the UX would be great


what’s your username?


like saved Contacts? we have that rolling out but for our Send Globally feature. will include Lightning Addresses as a fast follow hopefully this month


yep


we’re coming. about to launch Strike Africa, Strike EU maybe Q1 👀


nice, educational materials are coming in December actually

what do you mean by self custodial wallet? what’s wrong with Cold Card?


all strike users now have full Lightning Address support.

what can we do to make Strike a better wallet? what are we missing?


nice, sounds good. let me know if you ever need anything 👍


how are you depositing the bitcoin? shouldn’t convert then unless you’re creating a request for $


hahahaha cards**


awesome! let me know if you have any feedback. we launched buy bitcoin for India this week as well

as for cashing out, not yet, but hopefully adding soon. India has been a bit tricky but not impossible


we are live in Costa Rica! buy bitcoin with cars there too


not yet. Strike LatAm is coming soon-ish

for now, Brazil has our wallet with USDT and BTC and can deposit with cards


totally. if my contributions to bitcoin aren’t valuable to you then i’d recommend just not using them

i think that’s totally fair and part of the innovation. you can do whatever you want and think of me however you’d like. i respect it brother

no, there is no way to know if you’re sending to yourself or to someone else. Strike just knows that you sent


what do you mean by that?


DM me the email you used, happy to take a look


🫡

miss you brother


yeah Contacts are shipping this week!


you gotta be in the game to win the game


if you don’t see it yet it’s coming, our new features roll out over days now


just a deposit to strike :)


same


the free market


mind DMing me your username? would love to take a look


what do you mean? i don’t understand the question


our releases rollout over the course of a few days. if you don’t have it yet expect an update available in the coming days


of course. we follow the rules because I don’t want Coinbase being the ones representing on-ramps and regulated services globally. we need Bitcoiners in the ring and we want to be here forever

but the rules themselves? we’re likely better off without them


hmm, not sure. it’s much more difficult to do Lightning Addresses non-custodial. ZBD and Fountain are custodial, so same as Steike

Zeus might work if they offer Lightning Address?


we keep shipping at Strike

yesterday we turned on fiat card on-ramps for Mexico, Brazil, India, Vietnam, and Guatemala

today we released sending to Lightning Addresses. you can send fiat or bitcoin to a Lightning Address with Strike. here is a demo where I send nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx $10 from my bank account to his Lightning Address. we aren’t far away from cross-currency payments over the internet looking like sending an email over the internet

Strike Africa, Strike EU, Strike LatAm coming up next. looking to ship Africa before Christmas

stay humble, stack shipping 🚢🛳⛴ https://v.nostr.build/8KPa.mp4


I agree, but if you wanna be private and self sovereign then WoS isn’t the answer either. just because they didn’t follow the rules doesn’t mean it’s a solution (i love them btw, Lightning legends)

i’d recommend Breez, Muun, Mutiny, or Phoenix for privacy and self sovereignty


Congrats to the nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze team! https://ocean.xyz/


yeah totally. anyone with strike can receive over btc/ln into fiat, stablecoin, or bitcoin

then we support cash out to argentina banks. so, if the sender in spain has a lightning wallet and is comfortable with sats it works fine. open network

we just don’t support spain yet with strike; but because we’re on lightning the sender doesn’t need to be on strike


gone? what do you mean? for send globally?

yeah, ok. we are starting with cards globally. you’re right, they are more expensive than APMs most of the time

would you mind DMing feedback and your thoughts? my blog will be released tomorrow

we should have LatAm APMs (PIX, cash points, etc) in the beginning of Q1 after the new year


i’d love to talk to you and anyone else about feedback!

we’re starting with cards globally. for Brazil, PIX will launch in Q1 most likely (3 months or so)

do you use cards in Brazil for buying bitcoin?

for viewing unconfirmed transactions, you can use an explorer like mempool.space and look up the address your sending to

maybe we can make the UX better? sorry about the confusion there


no. we batch transactions, it may not be broadcasted yet.

much love, i appreciate the kind words. they really mean lot

we are finally coming to europe. i’m sure people won’t believe it til they see it, which i more than understand. i should have more to share soon-ish

very exciting


it’s been a journey man, but we now have the power to own and operate literally everything. thrilled to bring it back and have a lot more coming!

thanks for the support, means a lot ❤


nice! using technology and energy, how human of you


what does that mean


yeah i agree. they got so pissed i called it a shitcoin

i take it back. it’s worse money than bitcoin, so probably won’t be money at some point, but not anything close to ethereum

🤣🤣🤣


we’re live in Colombia! on-ramps there should launch publicly in the next month or so


yes! coming


what do you mean?


no


scaling $0.01 may be tough.

only way forward is to just say fuck it, and try

then you learn

then you figure it out

then one day you’ve got it!


100%

got more stuff coming on this for nostr specifically. i think zaps (or using bitcoin) is a huge competitive edge here and the barrier to adoption is the UX

if we can make it easier i think we’d see more adoption


i talked with nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm this week, we can do it. we have an OAuth library where other apps connect to our infrastructure

damn, sorry about this experience. will DM you


i agree


yep. been a lot of fun so far


yo, that’s me. im trying.

currently, if i did, everything i’ve built would be shut down and i’d be locked up for most of my life, unfortunately

there are small wins. like those that are looking for a easy bridge from fiat to bitcoin globally, Strike can fight the good fight and offer the best option for bitcoiners possible. for example, you’re correct, our global wallet doesn’t really have KYC to get started (only KYC when you wanna link with fiat)

i dream of a day Strike is big enough to work on all sorts of things with all sorts of optionality. we’ll get there. for now, if you don’t want KYC, i’d just not use Strike or any other regulated products. beauty of an open network


we just launched our own KYC program now that we have our own licenses

KYC is obviously not ideal but given the rules we have to follow I think people are really gonna appreciate it. i’ll be blogging about it soon, coincides with more global announcements


hmm, are they pre-paid debit cards? if you DM me your username i’m happy to take a look


strike now has a white-glove service for HNWIs, family offices, businesses and large institutions

strike is now one of the most licensed bitcoin companies in the world with top leading infrastructure we own and operate ourselves. not sure how known that is.

as the bear market has gone on, we’ve gotten more and more demand for these services. i’ve run this business line myself mostly, it’s a lot of fun. professional orange piller and sat slinger. no better job than that
