i don't get the strike simping. kyc-free sats are more wholesome and pretty easy to get.

bisq, hodlhodl & robosats are great but the payment methods are not
Of course KYC free sats are the way. I think people like Strike because of their product, branding, and Jack: he is a very charismatic and based bitcoiner that's been around for a long time. The precursor to Strike was Zap, one of the first open source Lightning wallets which inspired projects like nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 if I'm not mistaken. I used to work there so I might be biased but I think the company/product is pretty cool even though I'd rather use a self-custodial wallet.
I just like the ease of hourly reoccurring purchases paired with withdrawals over lightning or on-chain plus spending fiat to purchase from bitcoin-only vendors
the early days of strike alerts on twitter for 20% discount on bitrefill purchases were the best though
agree but that was too good to last forever hehe
