Didn't get that.
The article talks to me like I am a child.
Where is bitcoin there, exactly?
AFAIU, Strike has a LN node, you simply deposit cash from your bank account or debit card into Strike (as a prepay?), strike then "takes" your cash, 'virtually' exchanges it for btc in their "channels", use their channels to pay your LN invoice, debits your cash. They interact with btc, you don't (for payment). Is it a "good thing"? I dunno. Maybe I misunderstood their setup, but what exactly the following means?
