Neither you hold the "bitcoin" you have in Strike.
I understand what you say, but using Strike is the same of using a bank, and to live in a bitcoin standard is to live without the necessity of any financial institution to do your transactions, so paying things with Strike pay is the same as paying it with credit in a average bank.
At the advisory level, I honestly have none, as Bitcoin has been hijacked in such a way that the system have allowed to created mini Bitcoin-only banks, and people use the services thinking they are living in a Bitcoin standard, when in reality they are using the same kind of service that Bitcoin was created to combat.
When traditional banks buy Bitcoin ETFs and give people the option to denominate what they have in BTC at the bank and use credit cards directly linked to that BTC, are they really living in a Bitcoin standard?
Anyway, what a clown world Bitcoin has become...
It's because of things like this that I use Monero.

How do you live on a Monero standard? Short of using cakepay/bitrefill. How are you paying your mortgage/ rent?
I don't said i live on a Monero standard, we are not yet ready to live neither in a world of bitcoin standard or monero standard, for that we need to push to have more businesses accept the coins directly and have a proper circular economy.
My standard is cash for what i can't buy with monero and everything i can buy with monero i use it.
But yeah buying gift cards for some services is the only option, the thing that i clearly think is nonsense and i refuse to use is banking services that are wolves at a sheeps skin.
They are building the systems that will makes us trapped, and more vulnerable to state agents, system and censorship that all of us oppose.
You are seeing now coinbase for exemple applying a social credit to Bitcoin L1, sooner or later you will see fractional reserve banking with Bitcoin and ecash is the most probable tool they will use for sure for that.
They are testing it in Central banks (words from an interview of calle).
PS: Take time to read Bitcoin Hijacked of Roger Ver if you want to see the other side, don't just eat Bitcoin propaganda.
(The system is really good at selling ideas that go against the public interest like is shinny gold, and many of influencers even here are on some big names payroll)
You ask your landlord?
You ask each and every one that you have a business relation with. It's not that hard. It just takes time.
