Something about Strike unsettles me, I don't know quite what it is.

Mallers gets crazy airtime.

Europe is hostile to Bitcoin but Strike is np, come right in.

I dunno.

i'm also skeptical but will acknowledge EU was a great white whale for that outfit. i wouldn't say they were given a red carpet

now, what did they have to agree to get final approval?

Yeah, I'm not saying anything definitive, just spidey sense is tingling you know?

yessir

Strike has KYC, right? What they're hostile to is non-KYC.

Yes. But Strike is piggybacking Bitcoin to supercharge Fiat, it's wierd.

How does it supercharge fiat?

Can you register anonymously? No? Then you have reasons to feel unsettled.

Too easy you reckon?

I find it hard to articulate.

Sweet baby faced Mallers is adored by the media.

Europe welcomes then in whilst banning 'unhosted wallets'.

What are they doing with your data I wonder?

Always a danger, you don't have to KYC if you just send sats to it.

They could be gathering data about that too.

Put a little note: sats from Nostrailian , whatever.

I'm just pondering out loud is all.

A legitimate risk with any wallet. I feel as though Jack, and most wallet makers, want more privacy, financial freedom and access, but they have to balance that with not going to prison. The Samurai guys found this out the other day, by pushing too far.

We just have to take the risk they are doing it for the right reasons and not building a honeypot for the gov.

At worst I think Jack has just seen a way to build a better system than the legacy options and has set himself up to be the next big thing.

Theres an awful amount of trust in those paragraphs.

Yes, there sure is 😂. It's going to push many to run their own nodes etc and move outside the custodial wallets, which is a good thing. Start9 for me as soon as possible.

jack ballers is weird. that dorito peanut shit. the jeff bezos cliff hanger. the apple picture foreshadowing…. all in all, nothing became real so far.

Lol wot?

listen to the what bitcoin did interview 2 years ago.

cringy AF

All I can say is their support is off the charts - they get back to you right away, and try to solve any hiccups.

That speaks volumes in my book...
