The minimum off ramp here on convenient exchanges if $7 😂
I’m still searching for easier means!

Too bad Strike can't do direct draft in and out of a bank account in your country. No fees for that in the States and minimum is $1, but it can take up to 5 days to settle depending on your bank. The bank I use though credits ACH deposits to my account as soon as they see them, they don't wait for them to settle. Not that I ever sell sats. I only buy them and either spend them or send them to cold storage.

Strike works in Kenya too but since they only support cards and banking they’re missing out since most Kenyans are all about mobile banking.
Oh will they draft in and out of a checking account? I thought you had said before that they didn't.
The main bank I use here is mobile only. They have no physical branches you can walk into, and they don't do checks either. Just an app and a debit card. I have to get a cashier's check every month to pay my rent because my landlord doesn't take cards payments. But I still have an account and routing number for direct deposit.
I have my veteran's disability deposited to there because they credit it to my account as soon as they see it initiated. So I get it 4 days before the end of the month, and that day I pay all my bills for the next month so then I have no bills to worry about and I know what my budget is for next month.
i mentioned mobile money. M-PESA. Honestly i just looked at their app and determined what they can and cant do after seeing the options they’re offering. And since they required to KYC I uninstalled it immediately since I already have means to on ramp off ramp that i kyced .
No fees, very low minimums, and good exchange prices though. IDGAF if it's KYC honestly, because once the sats are in my self custody wallet everybody can get fucked. Unconfiscatable money and nobody can stop me from spending it anywhere.
Well once nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle has M-PESA on strike I’ll be happy to consume 😊.
I had to search what M-PESA is 👀

When in Italy?
Put the word out on Stacker News:
Would love to hear how you approach non-Bitcoin-friendly countries?
If you would like I can get you connected in Jordan. 🇯🇴
Insane how Africa is getting this level of empowerment and financial freedom, while worthless DEI bureaucrats in NY continue to restrict Strike.
Where is the president of Argentina when we need him… 🙄
Somebody is paying attention 🎯
Are you paying attention nostr:npub1t8cxvze5m4y0nhavtktnkamhff667pt75w3xzg22chxue4wjg3qqufsqc6? This sounds awesome 👌

Will #Uganda be part of it?
I hope Zambia is on the list?
Will there be a bank transfer option for Mexico soon? Cheers!
Do you have Bit Refill integration in Mexico?
Yes, there is BitRefill integration but there aren't as many shopping options as in the USA or Canada.
Got it.
If I sent 1000 sats to your strike lightning address, can it convert to pesos?
Can it convert to USD(or a USD stablecoin)?
If I wanted pesos, I would have to convert the btc into USDT on my Strike app and then I would be able to do a bank deposit into a Mexican bank (the USDT would be converted into pesos).
Jamaica????
Happy to help test, are you going to release in South Africa? And are you going to release your own strike card? At the moment VALR is the only option to get a card in South Africa!!! Huge opportunity -approx 70mil population in SA
Will Strike be launching with support for African languages, besides English and Spanish?
When Japan? 🇯🇵
I’m game! Straight outta Malawi🇲🇼
Italy?
Andreas Antonopolis talked about M-PESA back in the day. I guess it's been a while.
europe when?
Not sure if it would work in your case, but have you tried nostr:npub1nv4j840c5ugjjq7ym3sqkz5jcschjx8ulnaa90645av0rwdylm9qv9x0gr ?
