you can spend your cash balance over Lightning today on Strike.
I prefer this over spend and replace because it avoids the capital gain taxable event and is the same thing as spend and replace.
what we do behind the scenes is take your fiat, convert it to bitcoin, and pay the lightning invoice.
whatβs mind blowing is that when Square turns this on, a consumer and a merchant can even do USD <> USD settlement with bitcoin as the network, not Visa. cheaper, faster , cash final, etc.

I was just explaining how Strike worked to my accountant... She asked if I sold any bitcoin, and I said now. All my purchases with bitcoin are with strike in the cash to bitcoin transaction! Works like a charm! The Square thing is gonna be awesome!

In other words you reinvent PayPal...
The whole point of Bitcoin is to fuck fiat, not using it.
You are just perpetuating an evil system to exist.


Spending dollars over lightning with no taxable event has always been one of my favorite features in Bitcoin. π«‘
