Twitter officially launches the “Tips” feature and is preparing to support NFT authentication, Bitcoin price approaching $ 45,000

Twitter has started introducing “Tips,” a feature that allows users to deposit bitcoin or cash. The rollout begins with iOS users and will be rolled out to Android shortly.

“After we tested the tips feature, it turns out that people love money. Available for iOS and soon for Android. With tips, you can deposit tips in Bitcoin or cash, depending on how you have configured your tips settings and the regional availability of third-party payment providers, ”the company said.

Twitter support has explained how to use the new restricted feature as follows:

“Do you need some information about tips? Tips is currently provided to anyone (18 years old) on iOS. Add the tips symbol to your profile using the “Edit profile” button.

Esther Crawford, product manager for Twitter, explains that an icon will appear next to the Follow button on the profile page when an account has tips enabled.

“Tap the icon and you will see a list of the services or payment platforms embedded in the account and you can choose any service or platform. After tapping the service you want to use, you will be redirected to the selected application for sending money.

In addition to the services currently enabled through Tips, people can now seamlessly earn Bitcoin with Strike – a payment app based on the Bitcoin Lightning Network that allows anyone to send and receive Bitcoin. Strike offers instant and free global payouts. “

Strike is available in the United States, with the exception of Hawaii and New York, as well as El Salvador, where Bitcoin is now legal tender alongside the US dollar. Users in Eligible Markets can sign up for a Strike account and add their Strike username to receive Bitcoin tips through Lightning Network.

In addition to Strike, other payment platforms and options currently include Bandcamp, Cash App, Chipper, Gofundme, Patreon, Picpay, Razorpay, Wealthsimple Cash and Venmo from PayPal.

Bitcoin price aimed to support a $ 45,000 flip shortly after Twitter launched the service. Bitcoin price rose after trading in the $ 43,000 to $ 44,300 range yesterday rose to $ 44,989 last night and is currently trading at $ 44,650.

This development comes at a time when the momentum in the entire crypto ecosystem with ether is growing again above $ 3,100. The data also shows that ether balances held on major crypto exchanges have hit an all-time low.

Discover support for NFT authentication

In addition, Twitter announced that it will also support authentication for NFT. Crawford shared:

“We look forward to preparing ourselves to explore NFT authentication. This is one way to help creatives create works of art with just one stamp to prove authenticity. By being able to connect crypto wallets directly, people can follow their NFT holdings on Twitter and tell the world about it. “

“NFT authentication takes the form of a badge that is displayed on the profile picture and identifies the owner’s NFT as authentic.”
