@Strike @newyorkhodl 🫡 will drop by bank and be 100% strike when i can do this

@brian232134 @newyorkhodl Yes! Something we're absolutely looking at and measuring demand for. Thanks for posting about it

Ok so far trying to test out @strike BLOC I have not been able to connect any accounts to the account and routing number strike provides. Every bill wants me to sign in to cross river bank where I don’t have a log in. If I make one it will give me a new account I believe.

@Strike @newyorkhodl are you guys thinking about giving users the ability to deposit paper checks? @Strike

@newyorkhodl In May we're working on a potential solution for this!

@Strike @TheBitcoinConf any update on being able to deposit a check into strike so i can dump my bank entirely?

Did you catch our Bitcoin-backed lending announcements at @TheBitcoinConf? We've lowered our lending rates! Borrow against your Bitcoin from 7.49%. No selling. No taxable event. No problem. Keep the bitcoin, spend the fiat 🫡

@francispouliot_ what is the nic nacs logo?

@btcplebeian @francispouliot_ lol

@brian232134 @francispouliot_ Pretty sure he's the reason they accept bitcoin 😂

Who wants to bet that by some clever set of fiat banker shenanigans, Brookfield and/or its business interests will magically benefit from this tremendously?

@francispouliot_ @btcplebeian random question do you still use nic nacs? recently saw they accept bitcoin now

@btcplebeian Has anyone considered that the ENTIRE Carney mandate is a Brookfield bailout?

@jack how did it go?

@Strike @RuizJ_Lycan09 When check deposit?

Most apps let you buy bitcoin. Strike lets you live on it. Your paycheck, your savings, lending, your bills, your withdrawals to self custody. All in one place. All built around bitcoin. Banking on bitcoin has never been easier.

@Strike When will I be able to deposit a check into strike?

Bitcoin can change the world because the world can't change Bitcoin.

@WalkerAmerica Holy shit glad she and the baby is well

Yesterday was the worst day of my life and then the best day of my life… Worst because I thought I might lose my pregnant wife. Best because Carla and the baby survived and are stable. Thank you to everyone who sent their thoughts and prayers for Carla. It’s been an insane 24 hours… Carla is stable now and both she and the baby are okay, but it got really fucking bad really fast… Scariest day/night of my life… Carla is an absolute badass and at the beginning of the slow road to recovery, and I am so damn thankful. Posting this here for those who’ve been asking what happened: Carla started feeling weird yesterday afternoon after a nap. We were up all night with our son and had to take him to urgent care in the morning, so we were all resting before going to meet up with the family for Easter Sunday. When Carla woke up she had some back pain and was very clammy. She was a bit disoriented but still totally coherent. Within 10 minutes she was almost completely unresponsive. Barely conscious. Crazy disoriented. Hardly able to respond even with single words. Zero control of her body. Totally limp in my arms. Vomited. I called 911 immediately. Paramedics arrived and she was still barely responding and could barely open her eyes. When she did open her eyes she said she couldn’t see, her vision was black. They got her in an ambulance to the hospital. Her BP was insanely low in initial readings, like 55/38… got her to the hospital and BP remained dangerously low. About an hour she appeared to improve a little after multiple rounds of fluids. BP still super low but higher than before. She became lucid and ER staff thought she was stabilizing. She was shivering from the IV and had a bit of back and abdominal pain but it was manageable. They said we’d have to stay the night for monitoring but would be fine to go home tomorrow. But then she started having severe abdominal and back pain around her shoulder blades. Pain got to the point where she was screaming like crazy. “Worst pain of my life” (and she has an extremely high baseline pain tolerance). I’ve never seen her in such unrelenting agony like that… The pain kept getting worse and they did additional scans. The ultrasound showed a lot of fluid in her abdomen, likely blood. They started giving her massive blood transfusions and shortly said she needed surgery immediately. They thought it might be a ruptured ovarian cyst but wouldn’t know for sure until they opened her up. Got her into the OR about an hour after that. Doctor said surgery would take an hour… 2.5 hours in the OR the later the doctor finally came out and said Carla and baby were both OK, thank god… longest 2.5 hours of my life... It turns out they had to do a giant incision down her entire abdomen from too to bottom to find the source of the bleeding (because it was NOT her ovaries or uterus) and bring in a third surgeon who was on call. They removed **2+ liters** of blood from her abdominal cavity. For context, the average adult woman has about 4.5 liters of blood in their entire body… They had to remove her spleen because it had ruptured and was the source of the bleeding… the doctors described it as “battlefield medicine” because of the amount of blood in and out and how dicey things got… but thank god both she and the baby are ok. The doctor’s still don’t know why the spleen ruptured… it was a “non-traumatic” rupture, meaning there was no physical injury to the spleen which caused the rupture (~1 cm). It was a “spontaneous” rupture, which is quite rare apparently. They did note that the spleen was slightly enlarged but also not sure why yet. Waiting for pathology to see if that provides any answers. May have been contributing physiological/mechanical factors from pregnancy but we just don’t know yet. The reason her shoulder blades were in such intense pain was because blood from the spleen was pooling under her diaphragm, blood is an irritant, and apparently that triggers the phrenic nerve which the brain interprets as pain between and around the shoulder blades. Multiple surgeons said she was “this close”…thank god we didn’t waste any time. When one of the surgeons checked in on her today, he said she would have been “dead by midnight” without the emergency surgery and splenectomy… The doctors also all said this combination of circumstances is very rare. Spleens obviously burst all the time, but usually it’s directly related to intense trauma, which was absent here. They said this case is probably going to be in medical journals because it’s so strange. Carla is still in a lot of pain (we’re not even 24 hours out from the end of the surgery yet), but she’s handling it like an absolute champ. She was sedated and intubated with a ventilator until about 5AM this morning. This afternoon she was already able to get up and go walking multiple times. The pain is really bad, but should hopefully start lessening with each passing day. It’s going to be a long road to recovery, especially with pregnancy on top of it, but she and the baby are both OK and right now that’s all that matters. One step at a time. In typical @carlabitcoin fashion, she’s already been cracking jokes and trying to bribe the nurses. She even fired off a tweet while still a bit loopy from the sedatives but now she’s just trying to manage the pain. Thankful for the great doctors, nurses, and paramedics who saved her life and our baby. Thanks again to everyone who has reached out and sent their thoughts and prayers. I’m passing along your messages to Carla and they’re very much appreciated. This still doesn’t seem real. A normal day turned into a nightmare so damn fast… Hug your loved ones tight. Life is a gift. Don’t take it for granted.

@Strike When will I be able to deposit a paper check into strike? I need this

Bitcoin backed lending is live in New York. Term loans and Line of Credit are now live for both businesses and individuals. The Empire State finally has the full Strike lending experience.

The first week of April was strong at Strike. We shipped Bitcoin Line of Credit interest rollovers and we expanded our lending product to three new states for businesses and individuals. Here's a look what shipped last week 🧵

@Strike @BtcMaxi707 @jackmallers What is stacks

@BtcMaxi707 @jackmallers Which one do you want more? (We're working on both)

@sunny051488 @Rajatsoni What % to keep cash?

@Rajatsoni My DCA cares not but I manually keep cash aside in case human psychology wins again and Oct is truly a bottom.

I thought the 4 year cycle was dead, but I'm ready to admit defeat 4 year cycle is alive and doing very well 😂

@BitcoinerJake @River @Leishman @jackmallers @strike would love a debit/credit card from strike

@River @Leishman Hey just curious, do you guys have any plans for adding a debit/credit card component to River? I am sick of using Chase bank to transact, and don’t want to mess with Coinbase or any of the other platforms.

@barstoolsports Does this guy know that NDA exists

@sunny051488 @IncomeSharks You think daily beats every two weeks?

@IncomeSharks A daily DCA will cover all scenarios exactly as I think it will.

The markets won't crash as much as the bears think, and the dips won't be as easy to buy as the bulls think. The truth often falls somewhere in the middle of the extremes.

@GrassFedBitcoin @1914ad It’s really not that hard

We used to joke about how difficult it was to run an Ethereum node. Now we're the joke.

@nickslaney @ori_robot This is so cool
