Right. Most people don't have bank accounts in both countries, so they can't do that trick without Strike.

I know, but if you do, and you’ve tried to move money between the two, it’s expensive.

I do it with credit cards or Bitcoin. That's actually why I first bought Bitcoin. Wanted to transfer my stimmy check to Germany.

I was Strike, but before Strike was Strike. 🤭

that is all they're doing, but they take on the tax and reporting headache.

Yeah, I don't have that headache, so I'm lucky.

I used to use Interactive Brokers which was a site for traders (they would just let you buy at market price (no spread) and you could wire the euros into your account.) But they warned me like 5 times you couldn’t use the account just for that and finally shut me down.
