yeah when strike announced their billpay I tried to figure if there was anything I used that required I have a traditional a bank account.

anything with stripe/plaid integration doesnt work with fold/strike/cashapp. Can receive venmo money or other deposits to strike via direct deposit, but yeah, any outbound funds not going to a 100% bank account (not brokerage, app, etc.) dont work.

Doesnt quite work like a bank account yet, but we're close though. give it another 1-2 years and it will be easy to be on a BTC standard with no friction between legacy system. Its more frustrating the closer you get though since the pain points just feel so trivial

I'm a bitcoiner too, so don't take this wrong way, but there are plenty of smaller banks and credit unions that will hook you up with life changing deals and products if you have great credit. I love my bank and they have some wonderful line of credit products that have made me a ridiculous amount of money in my business ventures. Like it or not, you are going to at least need a digital checking account product that doesn't suck, and If you don't have a relationship with your banker you are really missing out. Even if all you care about is stacking sats, you could be doing it much faster if you know how to correctly operate a secured or unsecured personal line of credit. Think about this like buying meat from the local famer vs walmart.

What bank are you using?

Also pretty retarded that my initial reaction was to try and blame the bank instead of the system lol
