Strike would be available on the App Store and Google Play Store in Argentina. Besides that, it also enables anyone with a Twitter account within the accepted countries to receive and to send Tips to anyone. According to the payment firm, this is a cheaper and faster global alternative to traditional bank or card networks. In addition to Argentina, Strike is available in most U.S. states and El Salvador.

Having said that, the world’s first national Bitcoin project has been El Salvador’s adopting BTC as legal tender back in September 2021. Previously, El Salvador‘s Finance Minister Alejandro Zelaya said that the government is planning to send around 20 bills related to the Bitcoin bonds to Congress for its approval. The bills aim to cover financial markets and investment in securities to provide a legal foundation for issuing the bonds, he told a local TV. “This is to provide a legal structure and legal certainty to everyone who buys the Bitcoin bond,” Zelaya added.
