at your service

don’t reinvent the wheel

in securing your first bitcoin yesterday, you entered a living network that enables peer-to-peer communications between you and 100 million other people. this number grows daily as more people like you take steps to learn a new financial language.
the bitcoin network is the result of over 450 unaffiliated individual programmers' hard work. for years, a few volunteers maintained bitcoin before it was ever worth much 'money'. at the time of its inception, many people were working on similar projects aimed at creating a digital currency secured by cryptography. bitcoin succeeded where so many had not, and did so in such a way as to ensure that the system would always treat each user equally. there are no administrators in bitcoin, only users, and you are one of them.
bitcoin's code is available in its entirety online, for free. since anyone can make a copy of bitcoin at any time, why doesn't someone make something better? technology moves so fast, after all.
creating a 'new bitcoin' is difficult because the bitcoin implementation of digital scarcity is more akin to a chemical compound like water than it is something to be competed with. despite a global marketing department and technical advantages, gatorade will never compete with its main ingredient: water. further, you won't see many commercials for water that someone isn’t making money on.
if you want decentralized, censorship-resistant, energy-based money based on math, it exists. you’re already using it.

let’s interact with bitcoin using the strike app or the cash app. if you didn’t download one yesterday, you can do it now:

Download the Cash App (xbbb.world/cashapp)

Download the Strike App (xbbb.world/strike)

remember, you can interact with the bitcoin network without becoming a ‘fan’ or an ‘investor’.
at the most surface level, you can use your current debit card to pay a bitcoin invoice with dollars. this is like learning a few words of a foreign language that will enable you to get by. you can now conveniently use the bitcoin network without investing in it.
a bitcoin invoice typically consists of a qr code or a link. similarly to how your preferred email app opens when you click on an email, the strike app will open when you click on certain types of invoices. you can also use the ‘pay’ button in strike to scan an invoice with your phone’s camera.

“pollo feed” is a website where a live camera feed is shown of a chicken coop. the creators set up a feeder that automatically dispenses chicken feed when a bitcoin invoice is paid. you can try it here: https://pollofeed.com/

you can also create bitcoin invoices using the strike app. bitcoin invoices are useful for micropayments, people who insist on paying you in bitcoin, and payments that need to be settled in finality. you can receive this bitcoin payment as dollars and deposit them to your bank account.

have you ever encountered a paywall on the internet? you can create your own using the strike app with plebpay.com. a standing invoice is created that hides your link or message until the visitor pays the toll.

receive streamed payments
have you ever wondered how you can access any tv show ever made in seconds, yet you only get your paycheck every two weeks? streaming technology has been around for years. many of you may faintly remember receiving a dvd in the mail from netflix. it's about time you were able to get some 1's and 0's streamed to your wallet!
strike enables you to stream money globally, as demonstrated by strike ceo jack mallers in the following video:

you're starting to look seasoned, friend. you've obtained bitcoin and used it to send value directly to another person without anyone's permission. you are now able to shop and engage in commerce with 100 million other people around the globe. no names required. no credit check needed. if you've got it, you can spend it. your money's always good here.

to have & to hold

the first drop is the wettest

welcome to bitcoin.
you may have heard folks liken Bitcoin to the enlightenment, while some critics think that bitcoin has no use at all.
these reactions are to be expected. the bitcoin system is made up of processes gathered from the fields of investing, computer science, cryptography, game theory, politics, and economics. one can spend a lifetime learning about any of these fields, not to mention a combination of all of them!
thanks to the efforts of strangers around the world, bitcoin was invented to navigate these fields with certainty. this email course will familiarize you with bitcoin and how you can interact with it.

"many roads might lead you to take a closer look at bitcoin...many entries lead down this particular rabbit hole."
-der gigi, the bitcoin journey

soon you will become one of over 100 million bitcoin users. while it takes courage and an open mind to test drive brand-new technology, getting started only takes a few minutes, and this email course has your back!
today's email will guide you through the process of securing some bitcoin using the strike app, which functions similarly to venmo and cash app. with strike you can use your current debit card to pay bitcoin invoices, send any currency to friends worldwide, and purchase bitcoin with no exchange fees.

"bitcoin is the internet of money, and currency is just the first application."
-andreas antonopoulos

if you are reading this, then you have made the leap from mail delivered by hand to your mailbox through the postal system to mail delivered instantly to your digital inbox via e-mail. people love sending each other messages. e-mail was one of the first things the internet was used for and continues to be one of the main ways people use the internet.
our mailboxes continue to operate despite faster technology being available. the invention of e-mail did not replace the postal service, it simply changed what we use it for and created a new method of communication for our society.
similarly, the invention of bitcoin did not replace fiat banking systems, precious metals, and equity markets. in fact, bitcoin, a new way of storing and transacting time value, has been operating alongside these systems for thirteen years already!
imagine bitcoin as an e-mail or text messaging service with a limited number of messages. you can use bitcoin to communicate with anyone else who has bitcoin, and services like strike make it easy to use bitcoin to communicate with people who don't use bitcoin.
users can purchase additional message credits at market rates. some users (miners) donate energy and computing power to maintain the network, and, in return, the network gives them additional message credits (bitcoin).
at first, the internet, e-mail, and text messaging were used for business communications and making plans with friends. these technologies have grown and are now used to pay bills, unlock your house door remotely, and share home movies. by the same logic, it is likely only a few of the many ways to utilize bitcoin have been discovered so far.

bitcoin is complicated, and it is natural to resist trusting anything that is hard to understand at first glance. to add to that initial confusion, you might think bitcoin is used solely for speculation and nefarious activities.
as you learn more about the bitcoin network, many reactions to the technology will start to look more and more like reactions to the internet when you paid for dial-up by the minute.
once you hold bitcoin yourself, you will find that it is an honest servant.

bitcoin's beauty is in the eye of its beholder and after today that beholder is you.

you have joined 100 million other people in utilizing the bitcoin network to communicate fiscally. tomorrow, we'll show you more ways to use your strike account.
take a break, you know a little more about what being a bitcoiner means now. note that the term 'bitcoiner' will be dated soon. how many internetters have you seen around lately?
