Is nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 available in Canada yet? Needing to send fiat to someone and exploring the cheapest options. I need them to receive fiat, otherwise I’d just use Bitcoin directly. Strike would be ideal.
Discussion
no, but mallers did mention canada recently on a podcast or show.
Good to know! That will make my world much more convenient 😂
Could also use Aqua which has layer 1 & 2 and USDT
They don’t use nor understand anything cryptocurrency-related. But good option I’ll keep in mind for other circumstances.
Ahh I see so you have the bitcoin only and don’t have fiat to your name but your friend needs fiat and in order for you to send him fiat you’ll have to send via strike which isn’t available yet in Canada or send him bitcoin direct which he’ll have to figure out how to off ramp it and sell for fiat
Is that it?

Awesome thank you. I was looking at that just now and wondering if it’s reliable.
Yep it is and your friend doesn't need an account it can hit any Canadian bank
well nostr:npub19mf4jm44umnup4he4cdqrjk3us966qhdnc3zrlpjx93y4x95e3uq9qkfu2 allows you to send an etransfer to someone. You use real money and they recieve moose sheckels. 🫎
Thanks! 🙏
Bylls does etransfer
I see in this only a big opportunity to orange pill somebody.
Send them BTC and they will figure it out how to spend them directly or pay bills with sats. There are many ways to spend sats in Canada.
If that was the situation I’d do that. Unfortunately it isn’t.
push it harder. Make it a conditional acceptance: you take BTC or nothing.
I would do that.
Lol good luck with that.
Bull Bitcoin is the best way to send BTC and have it automatically converted to fiat. I think you’ll need a Bull account and I don’t know if you need to be Canadian to have one (nostr:npub1t289s8ck5qfwynf2vsq49t2kypvvkpj7rhegayrur0ag9s2sezaqgunkzs). You’ll need your recipients email address that is tied to Interac e-transfer at their bank. But once you have that you can send BTC to their email through Bull. https://www.bullbitcoin.com/payments
nostr:npub18ull0tdnj9vugtq259k48szg80al44ta7g4fa85nvj3svaq7kt8s9udcl9 is by far the best option in Canuckistan.
Don’t the CAD homies use Shakepay?
Like many others said, but to reiterate: Wise. Nothing comes even close.
Two snags though:
1. They're firmly anti-crypto. If for whatever reason you want to send money to an exchange, for example, they won't let you
2. Wise US doesn't give debit cards anymore, which is extremely inconvenient
If you only want to do money remittances though, those don't matter.
