Use Twitter, get paid in Bitcoin

[Mejeet]

In a bid to help creators earn payment from their followers for the content they create, Twitter launched a tipping feature using bitcoin. Could the social media platform now become one of the world’s best remitting experiences?

The lightning tipping integration is cool, but let's not forget that we could already be sending/receiving bitcoin without this integration. This integration just made it far more convenient, but not necessarily allowed remittances.

And no, afaik Twitter's lightning integration requires KYC as a receiver.

Already Discussed in this forum about this news.You should share something informative or New and should learn from other higher Rankers about how they make threads and Reply to others.
Because that will make us experienced.

You won't receive payment in Bitcoin but it is tip from other Twitter users if they feel satisfied with your tweets.

The interesting thing is tip will be done on Lightning and you will receive Bitcoin, in satoshi numbers. It is better than tips with altcoins (Brave, Steem, etc.)

If you receive 1000 satoshis, it is 1000 satoshis forever, not like altcoins that will be dumped too fastly.

This is obviously a good and bullish news for crypto. Don't know exactly when the news came out. But the market should react a little bit during this news.
One side twitter will get there a lot of new users. And also Crypto will be introduced to a lot of new users who did not know what is crypto in past. And I think other social media platform also follow twitter and will do something with crypto. This is really very possible in near future.

Yes I think it's more beneficial that what content creators recieves especially on steemit, I think my problem with the tips is that is so favourable to very recognized and established twitter owners and in a general case social media owners, some of those influencers don't even necessarily need the tip, you may see an excitingly interesting post but the reluctancy to tip it abound, I think social media like twitter should have a way to promote an exciting, interesting and knowledgeable post even if the owner of the account isn't too popular.

This is good news. Lately I see streamings on Youtube in which the viewers tip the content creators. That you can do that on Twitter with Bitcoin is a step closer to normalization and mass adoption. The only thing I hope is that Youtube will also allow Bitcoin tipping in the future.

It was really a good news when Twitter announced that but there are some conditions that needed to be met. But if I want to transact and just remit money anywhere in the world with any relative or friend of mine. I don't have to use Twitter for it.
I'll just send them bitcoin alone without any third party and that's already enough. So about the experience, it's a yes especially for those people that have a huge number of followers.

I just remembered you can tip creators with BAT because the icon is present.

Sadly like you said, if you're not a popular figure, nobody ain't gonna tip shit :p

Twitter has become a parody of itself. Be it unlogical bans, or absence of them, people tweeting like it's their diary, not understanding the essence of a tweet, or in the case of crypto, everything is shilling. Adding a tipping button will just lead to more low quality posting, generic tweets, and something in the lines of what we have here with shitposting to hunt merits.

As Twitter now enables this bitcoin tipping features.. There will be many financial opportunities on twitter as time goes on.. Its a very great idea by twitter.

This is a good bonus to those who are keen on using twitter. I like the idea, cause its boost user to use twitter more. But I do hope this wouldnt be abuse by users like using the tipping as a payment scheme to farm btc.

Twitter is a great place though some are using it to scam other people, hope they could filter some users that tracked to be a scammer.

BAT is available for tip if you use Brave browser. I don't think you can tip BAT on other browsers.

I don't think the issue is you are a popular figure or not. Everyone has to begin from zero follower but if you can make informative and helpful tweets, you will get followers who will in turn tip you.

As a content creator on Twitter, you must have knowledge, and creative idea for infographics, animations, ...

Iirc BAT is rather worthless. And Brave browser creator made a number of shitty things that made many people avoid that browser/project.
I think that you simply cannot compare the awareness of Twitter with that rather small project.

I guess that's pretty normal to farm/stacks btc, like who won't like to have more btc anyway? I mean what would be the particular thing they can abuse the tipping system? since it all depends on the user who will tip and whoever they want to tip to, it's their money anyway.

In my opinion, it's more about the content created than if one is a popular figure or not, and what you must understand is that these popular figures only become famous cause of what they have posted over time and thus they deserve to get tipped if possible.

It's somewhat early to conclude on that, and it would definitely have it's pros and cons, but what's exciting about the news for me is that Bitcoin is being used for this and it is in the news for a positive cause, it is definitely going to be good for the network in one way or another.

Ah, true that. Have been using Brave for so long I almost forgot it's automatically embedded.

Sadly I ain't a content creator, rather a GA hunter :p

[dkbit98]

I don't think this feature is available for everyone in the world but only for selected regions where Strike is available, like United States for start.
For privacy reasons I won't use it if my only option is to use some centralized website, but I think it's a cool way to spread the word about Bitcoin.

It is a innovative idea for sure and with the world so concerned about trends and this time, I don't mean trend like it is on the market or trading charts but, with regards to society and the several hashtags out there. Though, there is some little complications to making a good story in a tweet as, you can only type a pack full of words. Never the less, the tips in bitcoins on tweets will go a long way to ensure bitcoin publicity and many stands to be educated and benefit or even earn there first Satoshi from this innovation which would eventually bring them into the bitcoiners fold.

How would they "farm" BTC though? The BTC to be sent has to come from somewhere(it gets sent from your own lightning wallet as per Jack Mallers' video[1]); it's not like it's just printed out of thin air.

Ops my bad. I mean in the word "farm" is to earn btc on illegal approach like form of cheating/farming creates multi account to earn from that. Any kind of gaming the system. Sorry maybe not appropriate term to use.
