Hey Stackers,
I’m kicking off a new livestream series called "How I Live on Bitcoin", where I break down exactly how I survive—and thrive—without touching fiat.
Livestream #1 is today: The Exchanges I Actually Use 📅 : Thursday, July 17th, 2025 at 5:00 PM EST 📺: https://www.youtube.com/live/2SfF1IB7puQ?si=Lfrf_CpO6TJGeknR 💬: First viewer in the comments gets 1,000 sats
I don’t trust most crypto exchanges. You shouldn’t either. But after a lot of trial and error, these two have earned my trust—and I use them weekly to live on Bitcoin:
- River (https://river.com/signup?r=JS6WCUAV) (interest on BTC balances, clean UI, U.S.-friendly)
- Strike (https://invite.strike.me/G4TUBS) (DCA, bill pay, Lightning—my dream app)
I’ll also touch on:
- Honorable mentions like Bitcoin Well (https://bitcoinwell.com/referral/nittany) & Cash App (https://cash.app/app/G67ZTHB)
- My thoughts on security, self-custody, and why it really matters if you want to live on Bitcoin long term
This isn’t a generic “how to buy Bitcoin” stream. This is the real-world scoop from someone who’s been doing this daily. I’ll show you what I use, why it matters, and what I wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot private key.
This stream is part of a 7-part series. Next up: Wallets I Use Every Day! You in?
Drop questions, comments, or wallet recs—and hit that bell so you don’t miss the next one. ⚡

I've dropped the first comment there, should be enough for eligibility??
Yes, however someone beat you to it. I'll toss you some Sats, no worries.
warning: watch out for this guy. is a scammer and ass milker ! Do not feed the assmilkers. And you should spend your sats wisely, not on useless giveaways to shitcoiners.

They must do hard work for 1000 sats !
Thanks for the warning, I appreciate it. I feel like giveaways are not the best to get retainable viewership, it often attracts the worser of the bunch. Appreciate you.
Thanks. But you can see they only ended up in CCs...haahaha
Darn. I will do more streams in the future, better to turn on post notifications. :)
All custodial KYC eh... that's not living on bitcoin, that's living with someone else bitcoin ;)
better start learning about the alternatives #1044170
Of course, I use a mixture of KYC and Non-KYC methods. At the end of the day, the path of least resistance is what works for 99% of the people around the world.
I always strive towards learning about other options. Thanks for the comment.
