Twitter Adds Bitcoin & GoFundMe As Tipping Options

Twitter introduces its tipping service to all users and also adds new ways for users to be cash.

Twitter has expanded its tipping service to more users and changed the methods by which users can earn money. Twitter’s “tip Jar” was first introduced in May as a means that users could earn cash through other members. It was initially accessible to a select group of English-speaking professionals as well as content creators.

Today, it is known by the name “Tips,” the feature is available to anyone on Twitter with a broad range of payment options that you can choose from.

Esther Crawford, Twitter Staff Product Manager, says on Twitter’s website:

“People have already included links to their accounts on payment on their bios and also on their tweets. Tips make it easy to accomplish, providing an available spot on your profile, from where you can connect directly to cash App, Patreon, Venmo, and other platforms on which people can help your efforts.”

“Whether you’re looking to donate to your favorite account since you enjoy their comments or send a message of appreciation to a rising comedian for their funny Tweets or help the owner of a small-sized business get through a rough moment, or donate to a worthy cause whatever you wish to do to help (and we’re sure you have plenty of ideas), Tips is here to assist you in doing it.”
