Hi Admin,

Had to say hi to you first out of respect. So is this the next thing? Luno is really annoying me with all the % fees. I really hope this could be better?

Strike is just another option. Competition is good. So far Luno is still cheaper as far as trading fees are concerned, but Strike offers cheaper withdrawal options, including Lightning payments. My biggest complaint about Luno is the extraordinarily high withdrawal fees they charge during periods of congestion on the Bitcoin network. I have seen Luno charge R800 per transaction when the same transaction should cost around R150 on-chain.

The US dollar is crashing against Bitcoin. 1 BTC is over $100k now.
