Strike (STRK) launches its lightening payment service in Argentina "to give hope to the people" amid hyperinflation in the country, Strike Founder Jack Mallers writes in a Twitter post on Tuesday.

"Cheap, instant, cash final, global payments of any size, for anyone, to anywhere. Even over @Twitter," he adds. "Today, we launch a superior financial experience to a country that faces hyperinflation, predatory payment networks, and unusable cross-border transfers," Maller tweets. "Today, we use the world's monetary network, Bitcoin, to give hope to the people of Argentina. Recall in mid-October, Strike launched Pay Me In Bitcoin.
