100 sats \ 5 replies \ @grayruby 13 Nov 2023 \ on: Why Every Canadian Should Use Shakepay bitcoin
Overall Shakepay is really good. I do have some issues with them besides the KYC issue. Their continued support for eth completely baffles me. All their advertising is done through bitcoin channels, they even offer to pay employees in bitcoin. All their features are bitcoin centric. Probably 80% of their users are bitcoin only and no "crypto" person is seeking out shakepay because they only list bitcoin and eth. So either be bitcoin only or be a shitcoin casino. Also when you send a referral link it says $5 to buy crypto. This infuriates me. I am promoting their product and telling people to sign up but also telling them to be bitcoin only and the damn referral link I send says "to buy crypto".
Also the vig they charge over spot bitcoin when you buy is pretty high compared to other products but you get free withdraws and the great stacking features so I don't mind so much.
I do like the new insights tab that shows me how much I got in rewards so far. 395k sats so far.
I agree with you, lots of shakers want eth removed. I think it comes down to how much money they make off people buying it. Yeah the insights were a fantastic change along with the shaker profile.

I was burned on downvotes when I requested a way to hide the ethereum wallet on their sub Reddit,
So I guess there are some ethereum freaks using it.

That's too bad. I would have upvoted you but I don't reddit.

it was weird, I just put the idea on reddit and the ethereum people went crazy about it,
and I was no talking about getting rid of the ethereum wallet, I was just asking for the option to allow the people to hide ethereum (or bitcoin) wallet depending of the personal use.
The ethereum mob pointed me as maxi intolerant... lol...

I am going to keep pestering them until they capitulate.
