[bisq-network/growth] Add Strike App as a new payment method (#220)

[viperperidot]

I think there is some confusion here as to why Strike was added as a payment method to Bisq. It was specifically added to utilize the fiat to fiat payments ONLY. It is not meant to be used for buying or selling bitcoin in the app at all, that is all done within bisq. It is simply another fiat payment method that is attractive because they plan on going global which opens up many markets to users who otherwise are stuck in their local illiquid currency (and the fact that they are a bitcoin first company means likely little censorship). Think of it as the same as any other payment method on bisq like, bank transfers, Revolut, TransferWise etc. The trade protocol on bisq remains the same, all bitcoin functions of the trade happen inside the application and fiat transfers happen outside (on Strike). So on the Strike side of things it just looks like someone is sending money to another person for an unknown reason just like SEPA and there is no link to anything bitcoin related. Does this clear things up? I still think Strike has the potential to be the #1 payment method on Bisq once they roll out globally and if they allow for medium sized money transfers. Personally, I would prefer to do fiat transfers via Strike rather than a bank because I trust Strike more than a bank.
