At this point I’m just wondering where to send my normie loved ones to stack.

Folks that will not stack unless it’s easy and seamless. Folks that are used to the dumpster fire that is coinbase.

Strike will do for now I guess.

Anyone know the scoop on River?

River is great too. The only reason I don’t use them instead of Strike is that I love hourly DCA.

Knowing I’m buying every dip throughout the day is a huge psychological hack for myself. It shouldn’t matter, but it really does help me not think about the price at all throughout the day.

Strike is also convenient for reloading Lightning balances on any phone wallets.

I would have no trouble recommending River to anyone though, with the caveat that they should withdraw frequently and self custody that vast majority of their stack no matter who they use.

Strike is my go to for bringing people into BTC. CashApp is good too and much easier if they already have it. Not as scary as it’s “known”.

Cash is good too. But, both Strike and Cash have withdrawal limits set in fiat terms too which is another wrinkle. If we get a big enough God candle it is possible to get corn trapped on any platform with such limits.

Just another reason to withdraw frequently and never trust anyone with more sats than you are comfortable losing.

I always withdraw within seconds of settlement.

This is what I worry about. Will just have to preach about good withdrawal hygiene. Even tho constant withdrawals are bad for privacy… lol it’s all so tiresome.

Decrease frequency of purchases and withdraw right away. Instead of buying daily or whatever buy every two week or month. You’ll still get a dollar cost averaging effect over time. Won’t have a bunch of tiny UTXOs that way.

Good advice

Also pay less on chain fees
