It's the ultimate DCA, every 2 weeks you buy Bitcoin with your whole check. It should get the zero fee promotion like the other DCAs.

Help a pleb out.

They give you “fee free” on DCA purchases because they have those exact amounts and times scheduled out, so they can pre-buy corn for it. It’s guaranteed until cancelled on their platform.

Your paycheck is an estimate, in that they have no visibility into the timeline or the amount. It’s not guaranteed, and only happens if it’s processed on your employer’s platform. So they would be just guessing to prebuy corn and sell it to you “fee free”

That makes a lot of sense. I know all business models are different but cash app offers fee free direct deposit Bitcoin buys, fold offers unlimited buying for $10 a month.

But cash apps limits are too low, and gold is nice but having to sell the Bitcoin yourself to pay a bill feels like friction compared to Strike doing it for you.

So many trade offs between all of them.

Agreed. It’s awesome to have three workable options but the trade offs are frustrating.

I would add Bitrefill and The Bitcoin Company into your strategy. You avoid the fee for selling and even get a little sats back.
