Does this replace Coinbase as your preferred method of buying crypto? Or something different?

Deposit Limit looks ridiculous per the reviews. How much are the lightning invoices? Going to install and check it out but I think will be sticking with Swann which is incredibly cheap, secure and easy to move USD in and BTC out to a wallet as my main purchasing method. Being I am a HODLER I am not sure this app is for me.

Its 1k a week if you give them a copy of your id etc. If you just give your phone/email its $100.

As an accumulator/buyer I still feel Swann is a far better option. Auto deposits, auto withdraw to coldstorage/wallets, super cheap etc etc.

If people want to use bitcoin as a payment method then STRIKE sounds great, but I wouldn’t suggest anyone use bitcoin as a payment method. There are better options to pay in crypto than BTC. #HODL

After the install and we both got the $5 bonus, I then find out that “Strike is currently not supported in New York.”

I gotta get out of New York!

“Hell I just did it myself and that plus the pay me in Bitcoin option caused me to get up and write this post before I even baited up a rod to go fishing, really think about that.”

THINK ABOUT THAT.

Worth looking into for sure!

Forgive my ignorance on the topic, but wondering, regarding the being paid by your employer in BTC… When the yearly question is asked by the IRS “Did you purchase any crypto this year?” would that count towards the question? Seems like you did not “Buy” it but that your employer paid with it. Might be semantics but being issued payment is not the same as purchasing. If this was the only crypto you acquired in a year, but you received payment in BTC every two weeks all year long, did you “Buy” any? And if you did not “Buy” it, then are you liable for any gains it has during the year? How would track liquid gains/losses throughout the year for reporting?

That is a really good question, I didn’t even know the IRS asked if we bought crypto. I am learning a little at a time and it seems the more I learn the more confusing it gets. I hope that means I’m getting close to understanding Lol.

Jack, did you do any follow-up comments in a podcast on Strike after returning from vacation? I searched the TSPC website for Strike and only got this link.
