Jack Mallers' Strike Integrating With World's Largest PoS Providers To Enable Sovereign Payments With Bitcoin
By Casey Carrillo

Strike CEO Jack Mallers announced at Bitcoin 2022 that the company has partnered with three of the world’s largest payments providers, Shopify, NCR and Blackhawk Network to enable bitcoin payments at stores throughout the country. He explained that the integration eliminates legacy banks from the payments process, saving merchants on fees and enabling privacy for shoppers.

“You’re gonna be able to walk into a grocery store, to Whole Foods, to a Chipotle, if you want to use a Lightning node over Tor, you do that. Any online merchant that uses Shopify can accept payments without the 1949 boomer [credit card] network, receive it instantly, cash final, no intermediary, no 3% fee.” – Mallers, at Bitcoin 2022.

MEME OF THE DAY 
By Bam

And all of the sudden, just by Strike partnering and integrating with Shopify, NCR and Blackhawk Network, consumers will be allowed to spend bitcoin in all of these companies and more..

Interestingly bitcoin is becoming "legal tender", without being officially legal tender in the U.S.
By integrating the bitcoin network as rails of payment, it betters both the customer and business experience without the involved parties needing to even know they are using bitcoin in the process. While simultaneously allowing anyone in the world to interoperate by just using bitcoin, from anywhere in the world.

With love,
Bam
