On Thursday, Twitter announced that users can now support content creators by tipping in BTC.
The company tested Bitcoin transactions for several months. The company announced Thursday that its new feature will now be available globally on Apple iOS, and in the coming weeks on Android.
Users could support content they liked using nine traditional payment methods, including Square Cash and PayPal. They can now connect their Bitcoin address or Lightning wallet directly to their Twitter account. The new feature is supported by the Strike service, which runs on the Lightning Network protocol.
Twitter said it is also experimenting with a feature that will allow it to authenticate and showcase its collections of NFT digital assets on the social network. The company did not provide any details about this project, but stated that this is another way to support the creators of digital art.
