Is buying non-kyc sats with Strike as a payment method really non-kyc?

If you buy non kyc corn and send to strike you just made them kyc

Here’s an example, not sending to Strike, paying with strike

As long as you dont send the sats to strike you good.

Buying non-KYC with any KYC service is a dox of that UTXO imo

That’s my concern but how is it verifiable you are the one that owns those UTXOs? Doesn’t strike just see a fiat transfer from one account to another like Venmo?

That actually might be the case. I can’t say for sure but I would be nervous to say for sure it wasn’t in some way doxxed. The surveillance state is hardcore.

I think they would have to really want to figure it out to do so. So 99.999% unlikely. But I think possible.

Yes, it is non-KYC as Strike only sees an incoming fiat payment. They don't see you receiving the sats. Therefore no one can prove that you bought bitcoin except for the person you bought it from.

What happens when you send a lightning pmt with your fiat balance in Strike to just another lightning wallet address? You effectly just bought Bitcoin through the lightning transaction.

True. Lightning is also more private so I would say that’s better than out right buying BTC on strike

Short answer: Yes
