When you say "instant" loans, I know that transferring the money out requires involvement of banks. How long does the process from applying till having fiat in a bank account typically take?
Can confirm. Instant withdrawal is literally in my bank account in seconds. No other exchange I’ve seen has this.

Keep up the good work my friend!🫂
Hi Jack, The product I’m missing in Europe is a way to use my Bitcoin (supported by Lightning) to pay bills in fiat. Or a debit card but being able to top it up with Lightning. Europe is so behind

I tried three times to onboard people here in Germany to strike. Everytime after they did the KYC they were asked to submit their bank details for the last 6 months. Is this still the case? Needless to say, they did a devil of a job and demanded that strike delete their previously collected data.

Hey Jack, why is the interest on btc backed loans so high? No offense, I know you offer a way better interest than Ledn but still almost 10% seems steep. I now took a heloc for about 4%. Why do I pay more than double with bitcoin as colletaral as with a house as colletaral while the Bitcoin will probably will proof to be the better and safer colletaral over time. Dont take this as an attack, im really curious why these rates arent more competitive while Bitcoin seems to be a safer colletaral.

Also I met a girl (thunder)with family in Lugano at the Satoshi statue. She works for you at Strike. She spoke very highly of you and said she loves working for Strike. Just wanted to let you to know.
Feature request My fiat employer did not allow me to use Strike for direct deposits because the form did not provide a voided check. I don't make these stupid rules, but this is the situation. For the record, they accepted the @Cash App form.
Strike’s UI design could be improved if you’re aiming for mass appeal. While I dig the current minimalist, monotone aesthetic, it doesn’t feel familiar and it’s therefore uninviting to mainstream audience. And to be fair, that’s not just a Strike problem. Pretty much all Bitcoin interfaces suffer from the same cypherpunk-led aesthetics.

do you know how difficult it is to buy btc using strike for first time onboarding , all need verifications like govt ID , complicated face biometric and even some using . so far i think the most affordable , no complicated onboarding on btc is coinos io . they are easy to copy paste the NWC too and low fee.
