I find this cancel-culture mob behavior pathetic. My phone’s blowing up with accusations from people who have no idea what they’re talking about.
I’m in Costa Rica before an event, so here are a few quick facts straight from the source, for those interested:
Strike performed flawlessly through all of the recent market volatility. Zero downtime, 24/7 support, and the biggest day in our company’s history across all product lines yesterday. Thank you to every Bitcoiner who supports us.
Strike Lending continues to lead the market. We had zero margin calls today, and have never margin-called a customer, ever. Our loans open at 50% LTV, with customers averaging closer to 40%.
We’re building a reliable, trustworthy credit market on Bitcoin. The existence of bad or irresponsible actors doesn’t make the tool itself bad. Does a man using a hammer to harm others disqualify the one who uses it to build a home? Of course not.
Credit is a tool. Used responsibly, it empowers people. Used recklessly, it destroys them. That’s true of any financial system. Credit on Bitcoin can do so much good for the world, and we’re building it the right way: transparent, regulated, and built for Bitcoiners. In fact, we are actually in the middle of building a loan type where you can pay a premium to remove the possibility of ever getting liquidated. We hope to launch it in Q4! Imagine that, from the very people that are being accused of the opposite.
Anyways, do you really want me deciding what’s “good” or “bad” for everyone else? That’s not Bitcoin. Encouraging mob behavior against those actually building tools for financial freedom is backwards.
I’m used to this kind of noise, but our team has the best product velocity in the industry, they deserve none of it. Tag me and come at me if you want to spout nonsense.
If you don’t want to use our tools, don’t. I’ve never forced anyone to do anything. If you do, please use them responsibly, and if you have questions, reach out. We’ll always answer.
Now, I’m off to the event with the Strike team. Stay humble, stack sats, and build the future however you see fit (that's a lot of the point)

I haven’t heard anything Jack. Twitter is not a real thing don’t stay too much time there
Strike members appreciate you bro!
Bull cycle noise is going parabolic right now and I'm surprised that you let that get to you. Keep on building Jack
Not that my opinion matters, but I prefer strike for when I’m forced to use an on ramp because I assume a liquid and low friction experience based on previous experience
I did reply in your previous threads that the timing of launching and PR pushing loan products in the 4 year cycle is pretty suspicious.
Worst possible time for plebs, best possible time for you to get some margin calls.
Sure you called nobody yesterday on a 5% drop, so what. Historically we are about to enter a year of repeated drops that size totaling up to an 80% total drawdown. More than enough to call someone on a 50% LTV.
Strike is the easiest and least expensive way to obtain bitcoin and move it into self custody of any platform I've ever used.
According to who, Bill? Are you the all knowing expert who decides where markets go and what’s right for everyone else?
If Bitcoin doesn’t drop 80% and instead hits $200k next year, then what? None of us know the future.
That’s exactly my point, our products are not about predicting markets on behalf of others, it’s about building reliable, transparent, and trustworthy tools so people can choose how to use them. Our job is to support Bitcoiners, not dictate to them.
I was there last bull, same time of the year even, when suddenly everyone was launching a bitcoin backed loan product and talking about a Supercycle. Then 4 years of radio silence by the lenders and suddenly I'm seeing lending all over my feed again.
Anyone reading your posts about your lending product deserves to know the history of lending product launches that you are leaving out.
Settle down Daniel you’re embarrassing the rest of the Dans
I saw people arguing that the only reason Strike lending exists is to capture your bitcoin via margin calls.
That’s terrible logic.

Leaving out?
Name another CEO running two Bitcoin companies at the scale of Strike and Twenty One who does live Q&As every Monday, open to anyone.
If your past experiences or views about the future don’t align with what we’re building, that’s fine, don’t use it.
We’ve been transparent and clear about how our products work and what the risks are. Always have been. I am the most active executive in this industry. The notion we are leaving things out is insane
It annoys me that you have to spend time pacifying the whiners who despair at every price dip. Keep up the good fight, Jack. 👍
Daniel's post doesn't seem to be accusing anyone.
It says "take a closer look"
😬 that icky feeling when two people you respect are saying unfriendly things to each other 😔
Love your loan product. It allows me to save in bitcoin and live the life I desire and that makes sense to me.
- Income goes to acquire an asset with huge growth potential.
- Expenses are charged against debt on that asset expressed in a collapsing fiat.
- Requires a stack large enough to maintain a comfortable buffer to cover downturns. But if that buffer drops too small, I’m fully collateralized and can liquidate assets to pay off debt at a 4:3 ratio.
- Debt load is kept under asset growth (due to stack size and ongoing income).
Result is I maximize the BTC I acquire, my net wealth grows faster then my fully collateralized debt, and I provide stability to cover my expenses despite a highly variable income. Looking forward to the line of credit options to make this process even smoother.
I don’t understand the hate. This is the end game product I’ve been waiting for. My biggest risk out of my control is that portion of my stack that is held by Strike and over-collateralized beyond my debt load. But you can’t find fiat financing partners without that. So I have to trust that Strike maintains proof of reserves for BTC held without re-hypothecating. I wonder if there would be a way to provide a signed on chain address for BTC on a loan to know Strike has the keys to that address and that the collateralized BTC is not touched during the life of the loan.
Regardless, keep up the good work.
lol
Some people will just never learn and understand how a deflationary assets works. Our brains have been broken and trained to understand borrowing in shitty fiat terms.
Because fiat is always asking for more and more collateral backing.
They can’t wrap their heads around that $100k fiat loan means they can continuously provide less and less btc as collateral. Since number goes up.
are you sure i’m not co-opted?
Lot of paragraphs, KYC guy
It is actually better to take a loan to buy more bitcoin in a big dip
Keep doing your thing Jack, you made Mondays great again. The baby on the bus will always say wah wah wah.
Time will tell
I'm a busy man who doesn't read and watch everything you put out. I only read your nostr posts about it.
I know we all want to do everything Bitcoin on Bitcoin with a bitcoin wrapper. The reality is most plebs could get similar rates with a full fiat loan and avoid putting their stack at risk.
I really only see bitcoin loans as being good for people retired on bitcoin and completely out of fiat savings or getting paid in bitcoin. The rest of us still working and getting paid in fiat should be trying to turn the scam back on the fiat system as much as we can. Money for nothing fiat loans with none of our hard earned assets at risk.
I'll also point out that I've never called for any cancelling of you or strike. Only shared my experience, strike denied me an account, and my opinion that most plebs should avoid bitcoin loan products no matter who is selling. You are free to sell sats and make loans same as I'm free to remind them there may be a better path for them to protect their hard earned wealth.
For those of us still earning in fiat watching our pay fail to keep up with inflation the number one directive is to protect our stack at all costs. It is our only hope. A margin call could destroy our financial future.
Thanks Jack for all you do, have done and will continue to do.
For me personally Strike has been the cheapest,safest and easiest way to accumulate Bitcoin. Free to buy when using recurring buys and free to withdraw on chain with over 75000 sats.
Love your company. Love what you’ve done for bitcoin and for humanity because of it. Your reply was a lot more measured and classy than what went through my mind. 👊🏼
good point
How do you do fellow bitcoiners your friend Jack is wondering if you want some debt for your bitcoin. “Fix the money fix the world” am I right.
Jack partners with the Epstein crew and offers debt to get your bitcoin for the swamp.
Yeah you sold your soul to the beast. Good luck getting out now.
What a pretty face they put on their product.
Some people should learn to take responsibility for their own actions. If you are old enough to get a loan you should have enough brain cells to calculate what you can afford to take on. But telling people just doesn’t help the stupid, they have to learn the hard way.
Trash take from a trash human. #gfy

4 year cycles? Get a grip. What if this is the best possible time to take out a loan. You can’t predict the future.
It has always been that way but yeah, I'm deluded for thinking patterns will continue just because they have always repeated before.
If I'm wrong nothing happens to me. If you are wrong you lose your stack.
Appreciate the fuck outta you Jack. Don't let the hate get you down.
Completely agree with nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgl8u534 here.

Yes that’s how things work. You can always stay humble and stack sats. No one is forcing a loan on to you. But if I was sitting on 200 bitcoin and needed a new roof I might find the prospect of an over collateralized loan to be a sound idea so that I don’t have to sell any of my Bitcoin prior to Bitcoin hyperization. I’d rather be in a situation where I’m paying off my appreciating Bitcoin with evaporating fiat than selling my stack. Everyone’s situation is different.
Those who have been liquidated at 100k are reckless gamblers.
Those who have sold in panic at 100k are bitcoin uneducated people.
Nobody who has held bitcoin for at least 4 years has lost any wealth. On the contrary, most in that scenario have seen multiple fold gains.
Educate yourself on bitcoin and act accordingly.

One of my many hats is acting as a cashflow coach to help people who are deeply indebted manage cashflow and create a stable personal financial system that gets them out of debt. Secured borrowing and LOC’s of various types are key to this strategy. Many are drowning in toxic runaway debt and we need more liquidity tools to get them into a stable positions.

Making fiat world products does not help us get free from the fiat overlords
Get outside the KYC box Jack
Everyone is free to do whatever they want, but I don’t understand to whom and to what are you referring to when you write about the “cancel-culture mob behavior”?
I assume that you are referring to npub1hghnjjpnvkz8t6gkszuf37d7puwc2qtxc65rnklqsngzv6kkug9qhhfyz2 ‘s comment as you shared it in this context.
If you are referring to his comment, then I don’t understand what is he doing wrong here?
Is it somehow wrong to ask people, who are margin called because they took loans against their Bitcoin, to warn others?
Or what is wrong about taking "a close note of the people/companies who created these products, who backed them and who shilled them”? Or what is wrong about thinking "long and hard about these products" so that one does "not risk getting rekt"?
And if you are not referring to his comment and are referring to some real cancel-culture mob behavior, then let’s hear it.
Jack is a scion of a fiat elite family. Not that that's a bad thing and I don't know his exact situation but Strike customers should know where he comes from
I really don’t understand the fuss. If you don’t like the product, don’t use it?
Why are people attacking Jack but none of these other markets that let you do way more leveraged trading of bitcoin?
And again, if you don’t like it, send the market signal and don’t use it. It’s really that simple.

I doubt he’ll respond to you.
But I’d bet he’s interpreting Daniel is claiming Jack’s business has poor ethics and encouraging others to agree.
I believe Daniel is causing net harm and waste by distributing that message. Jack is a net good actor for Bitcoin and humanity and we all have SO MANY more enemies we should aim our time and energy at.
Why waste your time saying that knowing how deep he is, with 2 companies, in that box?
It sounds like you respect people as adults, to make their own choices. Many people in this space weirdly treat other adults like children, unable to make wise financial choices. Thank you for respecting people Jack.
Ehh I think Daniel is implying his opinion of Jack’s business is leaning more negative than neutral

To be fair, Daniel didn't name you or Strike specifically - I brought Strike into the conversation simply because I'm a customer of yours, and a happy one at that. I'd rather tag you and engage than post without giving you a right to reply.
For the most part, I don't think this counts as mob or cancel culture, rather bitcoiners who have valid questions who are trying to navigate a new emerging system.
My issue has been with the framing of how these products work in principle, not in theory. Newcomers ought to be very clear that bitcoin's CAGR is not a steady 50%. Bitcoin is freedom money and people can do exactly as they please with it - they should be fully informed however, and asking questions will always be a vital component of that.
A 5% price drop is hardly big news, but a true bear market like we've seen before could trigger margin calls and I don't think continuing to make people aware of this is encouraging mob behaviour.
Honestly, getting BTC into as many people’s hands as possible should be the primary goal to BTC adoption (kyc free or not- although kyc free is preferred).
Once everyone has BTC then it is more likely to be used as a medium of exchange and once that happens, as soon as it changes hands once or twice it will by KYC free.
It's not meant to stop him. Rather, I hope someone on the edge will see this and then his hypocrisy
Where has he demonstrated conflicting messages or actions?
Or do you think he’s a “hypocrite” because he simply doesn’t follow your exact cypherpunk definition of what a Bitcoiner “should” be?
LOL, he's rich and powerful. I'm just some anonymous loser on the internet.
I think it's interesting that he jumped on responding to me. Very easy to accidentally create a PR issue that would cost him way more business than my anti Bitcoin loan stance ever could.
if you size me up as a rich and powerful guy you don’t know me or understand what i’m building.
i’m a bitcoiner that started a few businesses and am hopefully participating in making this whole sound money mission work.
i speak and stand for what im passionate and care deeply about. always have, always will
Or take out of your home equity to cover your roof. It may even be tax deductible interest that way. If so you have the same balloon overshadowing your debt making it always smaller. Bonus no stack risk and possible tax break.
200 Bitcoin is still $20 Million. With that kind of stack you are financially way ahead of most of nostr. I imagine most of us would retire off that and never work again loan or no loans.
At the very least you could easily not know what happens to your socks after you take them off like a certain nostr influencer.
You are right that Jack is probably not going to answer. I don’t think that he really has answers to the questions I asked. He has been very helpful in making many people understand what money is and why it’s important to have good quality money, but now he is acting like a toddler.
I’ve always admired how well you articulate yourself. Calm. Rational. Reasonable
Thank you for that
I am not sure the original note was directed at you specifically, but either way, an important reply
The people that “are getting margin called”, knew what they were signing up for. They would have seen the terms, and proceeded
That’s on them
Of course it’s not the job of the entrepreneur to bail people out
Supply the tool
If people love it, great. If people hate it, don’t use it, and build something else
I don't know you and you don't know me.
i’m a bitcoiner that started a few businesses, so far all unsuccessful but I'll keep trying, and am hopefully participating in making this whole sound money mission work.
i speak and stand for what im passionate and care deeply about. always have, always will
You will not be the first or last person to get upset because I spoke my mind with no punches pulled.
this is what i’m talking about. there has been consistent messaging about me and my businesses implying everything between bad ethics and me being a co-opted criminal
agree!
You’re a pedophile
sometimes getting paid in bitcoin can be very boring. in the best possible way
Thank you for taking the time to answer. I appreciate it.
I think that it would have been a good idea to share that picture to clearly show what kind of comments you are tired of. Me (and many others here on Nostr) are not active on X/Twitter and have no idea what is going on there.
Having said that, I still don’t see npub1hghnjjpnvkz8t6gkszuf37d7puwc2qtxc65rnklqsngzv6kkug9qhhfyz2 calling you a criminal. I see him suggesting that you are working against Bitcoin as freedom money.
you may be an anonymous loser but you're one of the more consistent and intellectually honest npubs
Cool meme. Did you make it yourself? And why did you post it as an answer to me?
Because I’m stooping to your level of poor arguments to entertain myself.
>call him a toddler with no basis
>respond with stupid meme
I’ve spent almost 100 hours at this point in an empty closet in Chicago with this guy & attacking his character makes me irrationally angry. (Jokes) If you don’t know how to use leverage, don’t. Btw my BTC backed loan is still very healthy. Even if it wasn’t, I’m not financially dense enough to over leverage, or not have additional capital & collateral on the sidelines in case of emergency. Trying to frame the use of Bitcoin as collateral as a bad thing is just lunacy. God forbid we monetize MONEY
Real Bitcoiners never borrow fiat against real money. Bitcoin self-custody. That's what Bitcoiner do. Sorry dude
Wow, you seem very offended. Perhaps a censorship free protocol is not the right one for you. I did not call npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle a toddler. I said that “now he is acting like a toddler”. Just read my comment again, and do not midcurve it.
The basis for me saying that Jack was acting like a toddler was that Jack was sharing Princey’s comment and referring to it as “cancel-culture mob behavior”. But npub1hghnjjpnvkz8t6gkszuf37d7puwc2qtxc65rnklqsngzv6kkug9qhhfyz2 was not cancelling anyone and there was no mob behavior.
But now I am going to give you something that makes you very happy. If you read the same comment again, you can see that I acknowledged Jack’s great work in making many people understand what is money and why it's important to have good money. And I really believe it.
(Jack has said lots of great stuff. If I am not mistaken, he is the one who called Jamie Dimon Jeffrey Epstein’s banker. It is one of the funniest #Bitcoin moments ever! 🤣 But it does not mean that he is above criticism.)
And now I am going to make you even happier – during these paper Bitcoin months, Jack has highlighted that if you buy shares, you are not buying Bitcoin -- you are buying shares. It’s very important that people understand it.

The holier than now Bitcoin trope is oh so fucking tiring. ‘Real Bitcoiners’ lol.
If a Bitcoiner never sells and they never borrow against it and they never transact with it, all they have is a pet rock.
I never said never sell! The wise bitcoiner will spend his sats only on things that really matter and are necessary at the right moment.
A ‘Real Bitcoiner’ would never sell their sats for anything. They would borrow against it and use the inferior fiat whilst keeping the Bitcoin forever.
A ‘Real Bitcoiner’ knows this!
Nope. Bitcoin is money that you can save and spend. I do. Have a good one bye dude
You're doing a great job, don't worry about does who are not able to grasp a basic concept.
Loan backed with BTC is a good option. If one wants to be on the safe side, one can increase the amount of BTC.
The problem in today's world is that many are not able to read and comprehend a simple contract. They just follow any movement in the crowd without thinking.

It doesn't matter what the topic is... politics, faith, bitcoin, family, et. al., Everyone has to be an expert and have an opinion these days.
