## What Jamie wrote

A number of new product announcement from Strike, but perhaps even more importantly they have transitioned to running all their own infrastructure. 

> That’s why as of today, I’m proud to announce Strike now owns and operates all of its own infrastructure for customers. Strike now custodies customer bitcoin and dollars, which means no custodial intermediaries between us and our users.

I think this is a big deal. Depending on the industry you are in you need to consider who you are building on. Strike has big ambitions, and they will be disruptive, and having their own infrastructure means they are less vulnerable.

> Strike users can now send sats to any other Strike user, including Global users in all of our new global markets!

I like the model that Strike has embraced and how much friction they are removing from sending money around.
