Twitter reportedly working on a Bitcoin tipping feature

Twitter

Twitter has reportedly launched a Bitcoin tipping in a limited beta release. Twitter users may be able to tip each other using Bitcoin in the near future.

Whereas Twitter is yet to officially publicize the feature, MacRumors has reported that it has been contained within a limited beta release.

Distinctly, mobile developer Alessandro Paluzzi also leaked a picture of what looks like a feature letting users “receive tips in Bitcoin.” The beta release has reportedly been made available to a partial number of users so far.

Bitcoin tipping may be added to the “Tip Jar” service Twitter launched earlier this year. Presently, Tip Jar lets users join their Twitter profiles to payments services like Square’s Cash App, Patreon, PayPal, and Venmo to support content creators.

The Lightning Network, a Layer Two payment protocol based on the Bitcoin blockchain, would be used for the feature, as per the screenshot. Micropayments on Bitcoin are commonly made with Lightning.

It uses state channels to allow quicker Bitcoin payments with lesser fees than the main Bitcoin network. Instead of downloading the full Bitcoin customer bulge, Lightning supports light clients for rapid syncing.

CEO Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter is known for his interest in Bitcoin. He has defined it as the best entrant for the “native currency” of the Internet in the past.

Bitcoin Prices Fall, Tesla and Square are Counting their Losses

bitcoin

Some businesses that invested in bitcoin have reported losses as the cryptocurrency’s price has fallen, yet many others have profited.

During the BTC 2021 conference in Miami, Jack Dorsey, co-founder, and CEO of Twitter Inc. and Square Inc. participated.

Square announced late Sunday that its bitcoin-related investments cost the company $45 million in operating profits in the second quarter. That’s more than double the amount of money it lost in the first quarter.

In February, the digital payments firm said that it has purchased $170 million in BTC, doubling its previous buy from October 2020. As of the end of 2020, that accounted for roughly 5% of the company’s total assets. Square made the statement in its earnings report on Sunday, which was disclosed earlier than expected to coincide with the company’s $29 billion acquisition of Australian financial tech business Afterpay.

As bitcoin becomes more mainstream, businesses are increasingly embracing it. The world’s largest digital coin, however, had a difficult second quarter. BTC reached a high of $63,000 in April before plummeting to around $30,000 in early July. On Monday, Bitcoin was trading slightly around $39,000.

In its most recent quarter, Tesla, for example, reported a $23 million bitcoin-related impairment, according to the company’s second-quarter financial report released late last month.

This quarter, Square said it observed “significant year-over-year growth in bitcoin revenue.” BTC revenue reached $2.72 billion, a threefold increase year over year. Bitcoin’s gross profit was $55 million at the same time. This amounts to about 2% of bitcoin revenue.

The firm’s gross profit grew by 91 percent year over year, setting a new quarterly high. For the quarter, net sales excluding bitcoin were $1.96 billion, up 87 percent year over year.

Bitcoin will be a key part of Twitter’s future, according to Jack Dorsey

Bitcoin

Over the last few years, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has been a big supporter of Bitcoin. He and Jay Z just formed a Bitcoin fund. In a recent development, Dorsey stated that Bitcoin, together with decentralization (In blockchain, decentralization refers to the transfer of control and decision-making from a centralized entity) and artificial intelligence, will be the future of the company.

If the internet had a native currency, he claims, products like subscription, Commerce, Tip Jar, and Super Follows will be able to move faster.

“I think this is a big part of our future. I think there is a lot of innovation above just currency to be had, especially as we think about decentralizing social media more and providing more economic incentives. So I think it’s hugely important to Twitter and to Twitter shareholders that we continue to look at the space and invest aggressively in it” he said.

Dorsey stated on Twitter’s second-quarter earnings call that Bitcoin is the greatest asset to become the internet currency and that once this is established, the company would be able to expand its product line more quickly.

This is the first time Dorsey has openly discussed Bitcoin integration into Twitter’s products, according to a Twitter spokesperson.
