I have a friend with 50k on strike... he's a big talker about how secure it is to own crypto vs real money. So I dug a bit to see if he owns crypto. Lmao no. You don’t own shit. Private keys? Zero. Your “wallet”? Just a database entry. Lightning “magic”? Only inside their app.
Try to withdraw? Good luck competing for on-chain settlement while they control liquidity.
Strike = centralized banking in cosplay. Feels instant, looks decentralized, but it’s a trap. It's literally a scam playing on people who don't understand the tech.
