Twitter’s Now Letting Users Tip One Another In Bitcoin

Twitter said it has begun allowing people in the U.S. and El Salvador to send one another tips in Bitcoin. Twitter is accepting Bitcoin tips via cryptocurrency payments platform Strike. Selecting the option to pay in Bitcoin will open Strike, and folks can then use any digital wallet with access to the Bitcoin Lightning Network–a super fast, fee-free network for processing Bitcoin transactions–to send a tip.

Strike does not charge a transaction fee; Twitter, meanwhile, has said it will not take a cut of Tips at all, whether they’re paid in crypto or traditional currency–so any funds sent to creators will actually 100% go to those creators.
