Thank you! Really glad to hear Strike is available in the UK. What about Gemini?

Substack seems to have gone down.
Strike does work here and you don’t need much to get it going either. As little or as much as you wish to throw in there.
Nostr works the same as anywhere and I jump between Nostur and Primal.
In terms of investment tools and exchanges, that’s where it gets a bit harder to advise.
I’m running on sats and Nostr currently and not doing much more than that.

Gemini, don’t think so
I just learn about Revolut last night, it looks and sounds like a good everything finance app for someone who needs an easy way to up their game.
Oh yes of course, Revolut!
Alongside my main bank account Monzo, I also have a Revolut account and I’ve used it to buy bitcoin to transfer to my Strike account and vice versa. When I’ve sold crypto to exchange for GBP, I’ve done it with Revolut. You do need to run through a compliance survey, to ensure you’re not investing more than you can afford etc.
I top up Revolut and have thought about making it my main account but over time I’m going to transfer more fund there and their interest rates are good on savings, well as best as they can be these days but a great source for doing some DCA investing. I have set up a weekly bitcoin purchasing thingy.
I need to work on it a bit more to be honest!
https://www.gemini.com/blog/gemini-live-in-the-uk so you can use Gemini in the UK, I hadn’t realised that and had a little more time today to have a Quick Look. I’m not signed up with them, as Revolut will do me just fine for now.
