"Global payments for the internet"

I was intrigued...

Then

"currently the Strike app is only available in the United States*, El Salvador, and Argentina"

It's the "World" Series of Internet payments.

I also dismiss a project when it's still nascent. /s

Also, "Global payments for the internet" is really referring to bitcoin, not strike.

Strike isn't doing the magic here. It's just one of many possible APIs that can be built on top of bitcoin and the bitcoin lightning network. If you integrate with Strike with your company, anyone else on the planet with any other kind of bitcoin wallet can pay you.

Okay, however I have yet to see any crypto project that even comes close to solving borderless money transfers, although a lot of them claim to.

This is unfortunate as that market is ripe for disruption
