Pure marketing stunt.
Wallet is useless.. Even not denominated in BTC, only altcoin (Tether ERC 20).
It's sad to see we (argentinians) are used for this. He pretends to be a saviour and Strike wallet adds nothing to our comunity. There are better wallets and services already in Argentina. (Muun wallet, or even local services and exchanges like Bitso or Lemon)
Neeext!!
Hueristic: I hope the best for you. Get well soon.
I certainly agree on some points. I really like what he's doing overall. And I think partly what he's doing brings Bitcoin to Argentina big time.
But as I mention in a previous post, he is among a growing sort of "Bitcoin Elite" among maxis that is actually using fucking ETHEREUM. Talking the Bitcoin talk, and walking the shitcoin walk.
To me it's not even about Maxi orthodoxy. It's about having two faces. Many of you are probably aware I am a shitcoiner by definition as someone who thinks there will be a very small number of other projects that are also important. Personally I still only see one lol... but whatever.
But I am honest about it.
Maybe I am giving Jack Mallers too hard a time, because he is honest about it too... it may not be exactly him. It might just be the cheering Maxi hoardes that seem to view what he does very selectively.
People who ask why Tether is important though... well this is it. This is the other side of the coin so to speak. If you give the masses the choice between BTC and synthetic electronic USD MANY will pick the latter. And they SHOULD have that choice right? And I see why they would make that choice. I hold a small amount of L-USDT just for dips 'n giggles.
But Blockstream and Mallers (both of whom I am rooting for) are not the bastions of Bitcoin the Maxis seem to want to say they are.
And before anyone assumes it, I am not anti-Maxi either... I am really just pro-consistency.
