Kudos to the humble hoodie peanut merchant

I am a big fan of Jack, but really no point in listening to him regularly, he just rams home the same talking points, better he focus on strike than waste time on the podcast circle jerk

Also PM has become impossible to listen to, I'd much rather listen to Jack on another show where the host can actually offer thoughts of his/her own

Will strike.me open in 50-100 new countries in 2022?

Over the past few years, Jack Mallers has made your “bank account speak bitcoin” with Strike, started the “pay me in Bitcoin” campaign, and was instrumental in onboarding an entire country on to Bitcoin, but he’s only just getting started.

Bitcoin is an open monetary network that enables a free market for payments and unprecedented interoperability. With money moving at the speed of lightning on a level playing field, the money and payments industries are being disrupted at a staggering pace.

Now, calls are pouring in from massive players trying to understand how the world is changing. So who will Jack orange pill next?

In this interview, I talk to Jack Mallers, CEO of Strike. We discuss his interactions with the IMF, Facebook, Jeff Bezos, and Argentina, and the global implications of the Bitcoin network.
