what jack dorsei is doing this time is to reward bitcoin content creators by paying them outright. This feature is a series of Twitter developments focused on bitcoin adoption and Jack Dorsey has also announced that he is building a decentralized exchange for bitcoin.
Bitcoin tipping using the Lightning network will make twitter the first social media platform to use the Lightning network as payment for bitcoin content creator tips.

this is good news for bitcoin. Social media giants like Twitter are starting to adopt bitcoin and implement it on their platforms.

Twitter to Add Bitcoin Lightning Tips, NFT Authentication
Tipping, including with bitcoin, will be live on iOS immediately.

This is quite amazing. This is accelerate bitcoin and  lightning network adoption

[aoluain]

More positivity towards Bitcoin and the Lightrning network from Twitter and Jack Dorsey.
As long as he is at the helm of Twitter we can expect further Bitcoin developments
because everyone knows he is a Bitcoin MAXimalist.

Its all good!

I wonder how long some of the other social media sites are going to leave it before
integrating Bitcoin in some way?

I think Twitter being able to connect a third party tipping service and including the ability to link Bitcoin addresses and Lightning Network addresses is another step forward for the development of the twitter company. Besides Twitter, there are other social media such as Telegram, Facebook, Youtube etc. Will they also follow Twitter's steps?

[Sterbens]

Good news, because that would not only have an impact on the strength of adoption, but also the impact on twitter would obviously be very good. Maybe some twitter users who hate crypto especially Bitcoin will be quite hot to hear this news. Although currently the trial will be carried out for Apple iOS users. I will keep waiting for Android user queue. Besides this will be launched of course I will monitor how it will run effectively.

I have locked my thread, and interested in discussing in your thread.

I hear they’re also going to allow authenticated NFTs as profile picks. That is the start of the game changing for NFTs. Once they become a provable flex on social networks, shit could start to get wild. Every celebrity and social media influencer is going to want to have the best and most expensive profile pics…

This is good news for bitcoin. Twitter's adoption will benefit content creators by providing tips in the form of bitcoins to other users. bitcoin will be an important instrument for the company and that they will introduce the feature to its Tip Jar. At the moment it appears this feature is only in the iOS beta, but it looks like it will make its way to Android as well eventually.
It's not yet known when the feature will roll out, but the code also indicates that Twitter will provide users with tutorials on how to tip using bitcoin, as well as using the Bitcoin Lightning Network and custodial and non-custodial wallets.

Twitter announced it months ago and now it's being implemented. Very good, really very important news. If this is accepted by users, then I see other platforms being able to incorporate it in the future. So Facebook should take a good look at that and with libra they tried something wrong. Take Bitcoin!

CEO Jack Dorsey has always been a strong advocate of cryptocurrency its not much of a surprise and this would bring up wonderful tweets with quality content on cryptocurrency as well. It would be a plus for content creators on Twitter and this also would recruit more content creators because getting tips in bitcoin alone is more valuable than the local Fiat  currency payments.

I've read a thread of this on twitter too. I can't remember where that it but it will definitely go wild over there on twitter once this Bitcoin adoption in twitter spreads out. NFTs are going to be more entertaining for social media people, they always want to impress everyone so it's almost like a contest of how expensive the NFT they own. 

Can we expect LN wallet on our Twitter account?

[isabellel2]

This is very positive for Bitcoin and the Lightrning network from Twitter and Jack Dorsey. As long as he stays on top of Twitter, we can expect Bitcoin to grow further. Jack Dorsey is a huge influence. In the future I am sure that the bitcoin price will go higher than the current figure.

[sunsilk]

It has now come into reality. I guess everybody has seen that news before when it was still a plan or likely a rumor. Good job for Jack and it's not only beneficial for his companies but for bitcoin mainly.

Is this going to be a dictate to other socials that they should start adding this feature of tipping their favorite content creators with bitcoin/lightning network? I think that it will be.

[verita1]

Excellent! Twitter just keeps getting better. Jack has mentioned in interviews that if it weren't for the job on Twitter he would be working with bitcoin. But he is going to masterfully encourage the Twitter community to be rewarded with bitcoin for its content and the spaces that the community promotes.
A step forward to test how micropayments can work with bitcoin.
Jack Mallers earned the responsibility for this new Twitter feature thanks to his strike. Very good for this developer!
We are witnessing innovations taking bitcoin as a reference.

[Ekeleboy]

Great one.
This is an encouragement for the community and the world.
Could also make other organizations consider adopting bitcoin.
All it takes is a bold move from just one man.

[DapanasFruit]

I am sensing that maybe Twitter is going to be a big and very popular hub for Bitcoin and this can be good news to the whole cryptocurrency industry. We know that Twitter has been a very important tool for cryptocurrency as it has never transform into a police for the industry and allowed all crypto enthusiasts to be active on the site promoting whatever they want to...with less restrictions and censorship. We should be thanking Jack for this good opportunity.

So I guess this is Jack's answer to Elon's question on the "B WORD" night. Elon asked "Would you accept bitcoin for ads on Twitter?".

Enabling content creators to tip each other with Bitcoin isn't really as huge but a major corporation spending time and effort to deploy bitcoin and Lightning-compatible product is a great approval for the future of bitcoin as well as Lightning. Becoming a Bitcoin/ LN expert would be a great way to get hired by Twitter.

Once LN and payment bots are integrated, there is nothing stopping Twitter from becoming something more than pure tweeting. If facebook could have markets, so can twitter. Only they'd be Bitcoin powered and so much cooler.

Now it's up to us what to do next, this is a pretty big development in cryptospace and to Twitter, it's now the public that has to do something in regards to what's happening to crypto right now, it's also another avenue for malicious people to scam people.

Recently I found a Source that makes me feel proud enough to know cryptocurrency so far. However, we are always more optimistic. After some time after the announcement given by Dorsey, I began to try to analyze several sources personally to strengthen the existence of Bitcoin in the future.

AIER released this article as we all know Dorsey often tells everyone that "Bitcoin has shown me the future". This opens the truth about what decentralization really is, which is that all public skepticism, especially cryptocurrency users, is getting stronger in responding to claims of political authority.

In other words, adopting crypto is not just about digital money. But as an alternative answer to all intermediary transactions without taxes. So it would be nice if Dorsey confidently who will always pamper creative twitter users with a valuable fee this has an exponential impact.
