Video streaming platform Rumble has allowed viewers to tip in Bitcoin and crypto

[DeeppRockk]

Maybe Rumble wants to expand its audience, and attract crypto enthusiasts to its platform, so they are doing this. I think this is good news for creators, and viewers on their platform, and they might want to support crypto, particularly Bitcoin, by launching a crypto wallet.

Maybe they indeed want to attract to enthusiasts to their platform, but I believe it's more of a game of battle for the throne ever since Youtube announced their first step of development of paying US content creator with PYUSD in December last year which I believe is a step that mean they have huge plan of adding Bitcoin and other altcoin in the future and to be the first to adopt Bitcoin as a video streaming platform is what Rumble did by partnered with Tether instead of Paypal just like Youtube did.
I believe there's more goodnews in the future since almost all settings are working on the integration of Bitcoin as payment.

Rumble's move makes sense as a response to Youtube's PYUSD announcement. it's a competitive landscape now, and Rumble is trying to attract crypto-friendly creators. not sure if they'll succeed, but it's definitely an interesting development.

The most important thing is that they have a Bitcoin reserve, and they have 211 Bitcoins, and it seems that their rank in terms of collecting Bitcoin is now 85 (According to Bitcoin Treasury), which means they are now in the list of top Bitcoin holders. Moreover, the decision they have made now may be positive for them, do you think?

Of course, every decision that involves owning and or holding bitcoin is always a positive decision, I do not know Rumble, maybe they are not popular around here but still, I consider this another big win for bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency community, the more companies around the world and adopting bitcoin, the more successful and stronger bitcoin becomes.


And one question I want to ask now is, wen YouTube? Wen Spotify? Wen amazon music? This are streaming giant that should be allowing bitcoin payments by now... 🤔

Well, maybe they don't see the point of doing that? They want to take a cut for every donation or whatever; they also have the data to see which payment processors are in demand. How many people actually want to use their coins to donate to a streamer? I personally never see the need for that. I still use my sats regularly to pay for other stuff like VPN, though. If anything, I think they should fix how their platform works first if they really want to improve their users' experience.

Are you seriously asking your self why Google or Amazon is not directly supporting a Currency that takes control away from their hands?  These largest corporations are trying REALLY hard to concentrate all the power they can under their own business.  You can already have most of your life under the control of Google.  Your photos and videos, your contacts, your messages, your mail, your flights, your Shopping, your Credit Cards, almost every thing.

It is really no surprise that Google has not been doing this for a long time already.  It is rather surprising instead that Rumble has taken this long to finally integrate Bitcoin on their platform considering they have been running this 'against censorship' idea for so long.

I wasn't really familiar with this platform, but after searching for the platform on Google, I saw that Rumble was a big platform, even though it had less exposure compared to services like YouTube or TikTok. but it's great that they decided to accept tips using Bitcoin and other altcoins on their platform, it means that they are giving their audience the opportunity to directly support their favorite creators more freely and quickly, without regional restrictions. if what they are doing goes well, it is possible that Rumble's move could be a motivation for other streaming services to accept payments with bitcoin in their monetization systems.

That and since these company like google and apple already have their own digital money wallet namely apple pay and google pay. I doubt they will adopt bitcoin directly.

Even if they did, you need to deposit your money into their custody, convert it to fiat, etc. Sounds like a lot of work just to pay.

It's good to hear that more and more platforms are now allowing Bitcoin and crypto as payment system and now the Rumble allows its users to tip with Bitcoin and crypto is a good amusing news for us crypto users and lovers of Bitcoin. I'm pretty sure if US continues supporting that Bitcoin reserve thing then surely most platforms will allow Bitcoin and crypto payments in near future.

A virtually unknown video streaming service has started paying out to bitcoin? Is that cause for celebration? This is certainly positive news, but very minor. It would have had a completely different impact if YouTube had been involved.

What I saw is that the video streaming giant Rumble has partnered with Tether, and their intention is to launch a wallet, and if I'm not mistaken, their intention in launching this wallet is to allow their viewers to give tips through Bitcoin and crypto.

Something in the highlighted text is wrong. Either "giant" is redundant in the context of Ramble, or it should have been YouTube instead of Ramble. Forgive my ignorance, but this is the first time I've heard of Ramble being a "giant". Maybe Ramble isn't that "giant"?

The most important thing is that they have a Bitcoin reserve, and they have 211 Bitcoins, and it seems that their rank in terms of collecting Bitcoin is now 85 (According to Bitcoin Treasury), which means they are now in the list of top Bitcoin holders. Moreover, the decision they have made now may be positive for them, do you think?

I believe the reserve is not for distribution, but rather as a reserve - i.e. a reserve of money for emergency situations.

Your photo clearly states that "tips" are in bitcoin, meaning viewers will be able to leave tips in cryptocurrencies, meaning Ramble's reserves won't be used for this purpose.

It's also unclear whether these bitcoin \ crypto tips will be transferred to content creators as bitcoin or traditional payment methods. Or will Ramble keep this bitcoin tips received by the service (and add them to its reserves)?

Video platform Rumble has announced the launch of its crypto wallet in partnership with USDT issuer Tether. This marks the latest crypto move for the company, which already holds Bitcoin. Notably, the RUM stock has surged amid the announcement of this crypto wallet.

Interesting. Yes, I actually just recently heard about Rumble, which is also said to be one of the largest Bitcoin holders in the world according to Bitcoin Treasury. This could be a great start to the year for Bitcoin, as another giant project is beginning to adopt cryptocurrency on its platform.

In some news I came across, YouTube has also started paying creators using the USDT stablecoin. I believe this is an early step that could eventually lead them to having their own coin in the future.
