I'm really apreciating the fiat↔️bitcoin tools that Strike and Fold have. Both have their pros and cons but really help bridge the gap and enable more realistically living on a Bitcoin standard.

What other tools are out there? (Excepting gift card services)

How are you liking Fold? Better than Strike?

It's a long and nuanced answer but my mental model is that if you're coming more from fiat savings Fold is better because you earn sats from your spending. If you're closer to a bitcoin standard already, Strike is the clear winner. Personally I'm in the middle but spending my fiat down, so I see myself gravitating towards Strike in time.

Bitwage is pretty interesting. Its a service that sends your direct deposit to a bitcoin wallet of your choosing. I've been using cash app for 100% bitcoin direct deposit, but having the money land in my cold storage or lightning node would be next level.

The Bitcoin Company is my go to for giftcards

Oshi is pretty interesting for spending in bitcoin while getting sat rewards

I'll check those out - especially Oshi. Thanks!
