Strike; remittance + Bitcoin-as-payments thesis

Jack Mallers is founder and CEO of Strike, a Bitcoin-native payments app built on the Lightning Network. He played a central role in El Salvador's Bitcoin legal-tender adoption in 2021 and has championed the thesis that Bitcoin's settlement layer can displace costly correspondent-banking rails for cross-border remittances. Strike is his primary vehicle for demonstrating instant, near-zero-fee Bitcoin payments at scale.
