Yo! Hello, world 🌎

I'm currently at the airport, with a fresh @budlight, and a lot of time.

Let’s have some fun. Why not?

I’m looking to make some free, instant, global payments using my U.S. Dollars, routed over the world's open monetary network, #Bitcoin 🚀⚡️🥳 Image
Drop a comment on what a singular, global, open monetary network with instant and free cash finality means to you along with a Lightning invoice.

If you're in the US, El Salvador, or Argentina, bonus points if you have global (Lightning) @Twitter Tips enabled with @ln_strike
You can use any wallet, anywhere, at any time, as long as you're interoperable with the only monetary network in human history that makes this magic possible: #Bitcoin

Sorry, @Venmo, your closed network is no good here.

I'd suggest using Lightning for global interoperability 😄
Less talking, more tipping. Let's fucking do this.

Connecting my legacy US Dollars to an open monetary network to make it rain tips all over the world.

Wonder how the suit next to me is spending his time before our flight. Can't really tell, but looks like a crossword puzzle

In September, we launched the Strike API with @Twitter.

Today, we're widening access to our Creators API, inviting more developers to enable free, instant, global payments on top of the world's open monetary network, #Bitcoin

Developers, let's do this:

developer.strike.me/en/api
The Strike API enables free, instant, global payments of any size, from anywhere, by anyone.

When was the last time an Argentine developer built an instant micropayment service for @CashApp users?

Trick question.

Never.

Only possible with #Bitcoin and the Lightning Network.
There are no minimums, no swipe fees, and no interchange with the Strike API.

#Bitcoin is the only monetary network in human history that can settle micropayments globally, between any service, instantly and at no cost.

This enables payment experiences never possible before.

@namcios @ln_strike Yo!

Sorry, was working on a few things and hosting @chibitdevs.

Yeah, none of this is new. This is how Strike works.

One of the thesis at Strike is using #Bitcoin as a superior, singular, global, open payments network that offers instant and free cash finality.
@namcios @ln_strike @chibitdevs Strike allows you to make and receive #Bitcoin and Lightning payments with dollars.

Or, in theory, any desired cash collateral. Maybe someday you can make a Lightning payment with your @Starbucks points.

Since day one. Pre-empty-closet days. Few.

@namcios @ln_strike @chibitdevs @Starbucks In parts of the world where establishing banking relationships isn't trivial, or when a majority of the market doesn't have access to a bank account, we use a stablecoin to represent the dollar cash collateral balance for a user to spend over the #Bitcoin monetary network.

🇦🇷 Welcome, Argentina! 🇦🇷

Today, we launch a superior financial experience to a country that faces hyperinflation, predatory payment networks, and unusable cross-border transfers

Today, we use the world's open monetary network, #Bitcoin, to give hope to the people of Argentina
Argentina is plagued with a history of economic turmoil and uncertainty.

Inflation will reach 55% this year.

GDP will contract by 12% this year.

There have been 8 currency crises since the central bank was founded.

Half the population is already living in poverty.
In 1991, amidst hyperinflation, Argentina launched the Argentine Peso that pegged to the dollar

However, they never converted to dollarization, government spending soared, and peso devaluation began in 2001

This resulted in dollars as the primary unit of account in the country

@mcuban @saylor #bitcoin the asset is the best asset in human history. Until it’s properly valued, nobody will be incentivized to spend it

#Bitcoin the network is the best monetary network in human history. Everyone will be incentivized to use it, regardless of the money people prefer to spend
@mcuban @saylor #Bitcoin is the internet of money.

The internet is the standard for cheap, instant, global communication.

#Bitcoin is the standard for cheap, instant, global monetary settlement.

The same way the VISA network is used to settle USD, the #Bitcoin network can as well, just better
@mcuban @saylor Just made a $2 purchase from a company in Stockholm.

Cheap, instant, global settlement achieved.

I used USD, not BTC.

There was no taxable event triggered.

We simply used the #Bitcoin monetary network as the settlement standard.

No other monetary network can achieve that.

One small step for #Bitcoin, one giant leap for mankind.

Today, humanity takes a giant leap forward in promoting human freedoms, improving financial inclusion, and securing economic stability + economic opportunity for all.

Happy #BitcoinDay ✊♥️🇸🇻

Today, a developing nation is protecting against the monetary expansion from central banks and the spillover that large-scale printing of dollars has on the quality of its citizens lives by embracing a monetary system built upon a peer-to-peer network and digital signatures.
Today, a developing nation subscribes to a monetary policy defended by a distributed network.

One that cannot be altered by any central bank, government, or 3rd party.

An asset with an issuance rate known from day one and a fixed supply that was established before its launch.
