Twitter Will Reward Users With Bitcoin
Twitter’s Tip Jar feature will let journalists, creators, and non-profit organizations earn from their tweets using tips. In addition, the micro-blogging site gives users the opportunity of sharing links in their Venmo accounts, Patreon, Bandcamp, Cash App, and PayPal.
This will serve as their compensation for the tips they receive from their account followers during the first phase of the feature. However, the company seems to now move gradually towards adopting digital currencies as a new option for payment.
According to reports, Twitter may adopt Strike’s services in generating Bitcoin invoices via the Lightning Network. However, Paluzzi, the app developer, objected to this idea. He explained that it’s not necessary to link a Strike account to add Ethereum and Bitcoin addresses to user’s profiles.
