Twitter’s new tip jar is about to get a crypto-themed boost. The social media giant is reportedly testing Bitcoin tipping. The service already supports Cash App, Venmo, and PayPal transactions. 🤑
According to a report, Twitter will be using Strike’s services to generate Bitcoin invoices through the Lightning Network, which will offer faster payments with lower fees for Bitcoin transactions.
Sound tough? Don’t worry. Users will be given tutorials on Bitcoin, Lightning Network, custodial vs. non-custodial wallets, and more.
Twitter user and famous app developer Alessandro Paluzzi, who is known for leaking details about social networking sites, tweeted a screenshot of how tipping in Bitcoin would work on Twitter.
It’s still not known when this feature will be available for users. However, Twitteratis are happy that Twitter CEO and Bitcoin maximalist Jack Dorsey kept his promise of integrating bitcoin into several Twitter products. 👍 🙌
