Twitter and Bitcoin

[Welsh]

I'm actually worried about this happening too quickly. After the initial hype I'm not even convinced that it would be beneficial to Bitcoin. I'd be worried about implementing something like this whether it was Twitter, Reddit or Facebook, a tipping feature could potentially hurt Bitcoin as a currency, because people will associate with tipping on a social media, and it becomes a novelty rather than something that could potentially revolutionise their life.

Think about it; would you ever see something like this implemented with fiat? Probably not, but if you implement it with Bitcoin while it would probably increase adoption, would people take Bitcoin seriously after it has been trivialised by a tipping feature?

The really new thing is that now in the profile you can include your bitcoin address and eventually ETH.
This was apparently discovered by a curious user:

BREAKING: Twitter will soon allow users to add #Bitcoin addresses to their profile.

It is true, I found the user's Twitter profile. I am sure that it could be in the "monetization" option that appears in the menu bar of our Twitter account where we can add the option to monetize our content.

Jack, he did! He said at the Miami conference that if he was not working with Twitter, he was working with Bitcoin. Now he is giving Twitter users the possibility that they monitize their contents.
I am excited with this news because we are advancing so that more people begin to believe in Bitcoin.

Jack is really a supporter of bitcoin and with this integration and it's with the lightning network. This is very positive even if it's going to be limited to his wallet-owned company as the gateway of it. What's good is that many will be educated about lightning network and as well as bitcoin. Those who don't believe that bitcoin is money, here it is, Twitter is allowing everyone to give those tips for their content creators and I think other social media will follow this act they did.

there was a shocking news from Twitter recently about paying for sharing bitcoin tips for creating content. What do you think will happen to bitcoin and cryptocurrencies going forward in the network system.

Sounds very interesting. I have heard about this before, but thought it was just a rumor. With Jack confirming that the feature is coming to twitter, all those rumor seems to be true now. I wonder why this hasn't yet cause any affect on the market. Maybe we will be seeing a slight bull run soon once the feature goes live.
Do you think  they are going to start allowing users to tip with doge? Wasn't doge initially used as a "tipping" coin on different forum and community? That would be interesting too.

This could very well be the catalyst for the further development of Lightning Network because we all know that the majority still doesn't know or doesn't really want anything to do with LN because of it's limited features. But still, having twitter using it will probably help with the boost in popularity and usage among the users in the market.

That's actually pretty good because the more people using bitcoin, the higher the demand for it, and the more demand for it, the more the prices go up so yeah I welcome them using bitcoin for something that they want to add to their website.

Yes you are right this will make BTC grow more and more and twitter is one of the strongest cryptocurrency sharing networks today no less than reddit and facebook all projects require twitter and use BTC on website is the right thing.

If this is to be implemented for real, seems like they gonna use a Lightning network and Strike wallet. This is only positive thing for the Lightning network project. Jack is a legend and Elon just pumps shitcoins...

In fact, Jack has always had rich ideas and believes in a positive transformation for bitcoin, Elon is just a jerk and arrogant.  I remember Jack praising bitcoin for twitter massive growth, and it seemed to be a boon to the universe if that state of affairs were possible.

can we not compare elon musk to jack anymore because it's inappropriate
Elon doesn't have any contribution to Bitcoin so it's not inappropriate if we compare it to Jack Dorsey

I'm sure the lighting network and all the developments that Jack has done will become a new history
jack dorsey is a legend while elon musk is ........ (you can fill it yourself)

These articles don't guarantee whether Twitter is going to roll out that feature or not but in case they do I would interested to know they are going to make the tipping offline to the Twitter server or users can send another user directly on their bitcoin address.
In case users can send directly to other user's address then twitter will showcase their BTC address under their posts.

Twitter rolls out monetization options for their influencers, especially those who have verified accounts and have a considerable amount of followers. And since the feature is still at its infancy, there could be opportunities for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to come into the scene and offer their valuable services to the table. Twitter has a good amount of usage from millions of its users, and this could pretty much mean good not only for bitcoin but for Twitter as well that since then had become a cesspool of canceling people, pornography, and a bunch of unsolicited bullcrap that each "content creator" force onto unassuming users' throats.

I don't think the article's main point is to offer a shimmering glimpse of hope for people who are hoping for twitter to become cryptocurrency-friendly but rather as a means for people to be informed that Twitter is at least planning to include a feature like this as a part of expansive growth for their project. I don't think it's going to be offline though since in the case of the still in beta phase "Twitter Spaces", users would need to buy a ticket first before joining their favorite creators to whatever the hell they are doing online.

Good add up but wont really be that much an interesting thing but at least its a good advertisement or promotion towards Bitcoin.
Also it could be done through tip jar https://9to5mac.com/2021/09/01/twitter-will-soon-let-users-send-and-receive-bitcoin-in-its-tip-jar-platform/

There has been a lot of articles that have been made for this specific news. And they're now telling that this is the reason why bitcoin has pumped recently and made the price break to $51k. About it being offline? I don't think that there's a thing such as that. It will happen online and just like any other tipping system or rewarding system to the other users, that's probably how it will roll. Let's wait how Twitter will roll this since they're going to do it with the lightning network.

didn't you already say "I am embracing rumors" so this process has been talked about for a long time so when jack posts it too long since the rumors it will not affect the price, if with BTC the El Salvador issue is more interesting.

twiter and bitcoin,, actually the right words are bitcoin and twiter, because in my opinion it is not bitcoin that requires twiter but twiter that requires bitcoin support, because now bitcoin is very popular, then by itself twiter is getting closer to bitcoin, but twitter's steps can be said okay too, because with twitter, bitcoin can be more widely known..

one advancement for the internet world, if twitter uses a network system to accept bitcoin, we as users and bitcoin owners just wait for the article to become a reality

I think I'm using the term correctly because it was Twitter that boosted the bitcoin price as stated below example:

Of the many social media that are most instrumental in raising bitcoin is Twitter, we can see this from the many Twitter influencers who continue to campaign positively about bitcoin so that users increase drastically, the latest of course is Mr. Elon Musk who made the price of DOGE and bitcoin skyrocket to what it is today.

Twitter was born before bitcoin, and was able to maintain its existence until now and they keep bitcoin alive by making bitcoin payments.

[Dhoe]

So I think it's really important for Twitter and Twitter shareholders that it continues to see the space and invest aggressively in it. It's not just Twitter that has a strategy for crypto money. Another social media giant, Facebook also has a digital currency. There is a clear need and reward therefore. And I think the original open standards of the internet is the way to go, which is why my focus and our focus is ultimately on Bitcoin.

There are positive movements but also no absence of negative ones, it is clear that this social media network with many followers allows too much freedom of speech and because of its influence, Bitcoin also has many times of being damaged by the extreme sharing of famous individuals about their vision and thoughts, Elon Musk's silhouette is also among them. I'm pretty scared about getting benefits from the media, they are a double-edged sword and a character with two faces, darkness and light both have their place.

I guess it's all good still because that way, LN would get more exposure. Also, it's good that they're going to integrate Twitter with crypto, they will be able to make a significant bump to the prices.

It is all for publicity and nothing more. If it does anything to the price it will be at the effect of the second objective for BTC becoming more and more popular, getting more news attention which in itself is beneficial for the whole community.

If this is going in effect it should be positive news and hopefully one that can trickle down. Either way, this type of method  sooner or later will be employed by others and so right now it is a matter of time.
