Scared me, you made a service payment.. didn't pay it off... I'll let Darth tell you why it'd be a mistake to pay off a subsidized note
The Strike ann didn't make any sense to me, it's the same as selling and doing an ACH transfer... seems they just made it one action in the app, not a material change, I like the spirit but way over-hyped.

Yeah, I've been paying it off for the past few years with fiat. Now I can skip straight to selling the bitcoin and paying the bill all at once.

I think the significance is in the automation: incoming direct deposit to bitcoin balance, automated sell / transfer / accounting for outgoing. So you wouldn't need to open the app or make any decisions related to selling.

Some interesting implications for ACH transactions that get cancelled/returned/whatever other shenanigans are possible with ACH, not sure how they intend on handling those situations.
