I feel like the sentiment around Strike has been very positive. No purchase or withdrawal fees for on chain transactions, sounded pretty good. I decided to sign up last month to see about moving my DCA to the platform, it sounded very easy to use. I signed up, did the KYC, and found that all I could deposit was… $10USD per 14 days. How in the hell is that useful at all? I DCA much more than that, so this is clearly not going to cut it.
I reached out to support, they said that their algorithm would increase my deposit limit at “some point”, depending on the usage levels of my account. They were not able to manually increase the limit.
For me, this service was effectively rendered useless. Wondering if I’m the only one with a similar mindset and/or experience? Maybe I’ll try it again later, but I don’t see much reason to at this time. Can anyone convince me otherwise?
I'm not a big Strike fan and prefer CashApp for KYC type-stuff, but Robosats (the LN DEX) is getting more and more of my BTC buy/sell attention.
Strike will raise your limit in increments, but they have liquidity constraints and a consumer protection script they work around. I'm sure Strike will get better with time, but so will Robosats, Peach, Bisq, etc, as such is the nature of open source systems.
When the stablecoin war gets decided, I'm uncertain what role CEXs will have. But yeah, Strike seems more like a boon for businesses than it does plebz

Took about 1 month, and they upped mine to $50, then $100 like a month after that.. It all depends on the bank account you connect with. If you connect with a bank account that has a high balance, high use, and get a good rating that companies like Plaid use to rank your account, you will start off with a higher deposit limit. If you connect with a bank account that is never used much, new, low balance... you will get a low deposit limit to start.

Holy crap. Let me guess ... they are using Plaid?
Stop giving third party financial surveillance companies access to view your bank account activity!!

I don't. I use the debit card option if I deposit USD to strike. Then I use robosats to actually buy btc.
reply
Then how would Strike know whether or not your bank account is used much, or your balance, etc?
reply
I never said I connected my bank account. If you start off only using a debit card, you will start off at $10 per week deposits. Actually, I think it's 2 weeks.

Oh, I see. Thanks.

That’s good insight, thank you. That is probably the case for me. I connected an account that I use purely as a middle man proxy between my main accounts and exchanges
reply
Is Strike still using "Plaid" for verification?
If so, there's your problem.
reply
Same thing happened to me, I believe strike expects me to switch my direct deposit to them.

You can also try using robosats, plenty of options there to secure bitcoin on LN, and just let that strike up run to DCA that what you can in the mean time, coin corner is also a KYC exchange that does DCA if that is what you want to do and are willing to dox yourself for bitcoin

почему покупки сложные??? это еще начало... скоро биткоин запретят в мерике... так как там будут выкупать по 10000 монет в день... держись...там. ограничения везде... кроме 4-5 стран с развитой экономикой...

The Pay Me In Bitcoin direct deposit has no limits, if that's something you can do.
reply
That’s a good note. I personally am not comfortable taking that step, but it’s worth mentioning
