    This is interesting...

    Twitter launches crypto tipping for all users

    https://cointelegraph.com/news/t…

    People can now seamlessly tip with Bitcoin using Strike – a payments application built on the Bitcoin Lightning Network that allows people to send and receive Bitcoin. Strike offers instant and free payments globally.

    Strike is available to people in El Salvador and the U.S. (excluding Hawaii and New York).

    • I've been wondering when a real use case for crypto other than speculation would take off. How many other sites will adopt something like this?yuekit
    • I saw a video a while back of a guy in S.America buying a beer with BTC via Strike and I must admit, I was impressed.
      Like a 2c fee, or something.      Nairn

    • Of course ^this isn't using the actual blockchain itself for the transaction, so the novelty is pretty futile in those terms. Still, anything to fuck Visa et alNairn
    • Personally I think the EU should mandate a digital/Card replacement for Visa that runs profit-free and then let the 'Brussels-effect' spread its wings globally.Nairn
    • Too little to late lol
      @jack a jackass

    • @Nairn you want digital coin so the government can see whatever you do with your money and cancel you whenever they want?
      What a tool
      ********
    • but then again we have the network replacement for Visa, it's called cash
      ********
    • < they did this because that TIPS feature was only used to tip about $6K since introduction = it was BIG FAILURE
      ********
    • oh wait my bad it was the Super followers feature that failed
      this tipping thing is...the same, but new?! lol
      ********
    • The first rule of Bitcoin club is:
      don't spend your Bitcoin      drgs
    • > What a tool
      Thank Goodness you've never purchased using Visa, MasterCard, AE or whatever your local Digi Scheme is. Thank goodness!      Nairn
    • where is the tip button for limmy to say purple burglar alarm?
      ********
    • No, just saying your ideas about how to run the financial markets is silly
      Also whatever the EU launches, you're not affected anymore, you had your Brexit mates
      ********
    • Circulation is the only glory
      ********
    • So you don't know what the Brussels Effect is, and you're not understanding the very simple point I'm making about a Visa replacement, Gotcha.Nairn
    • You know that your precious EU worked to ensure the Visa/MC duopoly (American cos) was able to guarantee higher %s across the board a few years back?Nairn
    • it's cute that you do a bit of design work for some backwater fintech and are somehow a finance oracle. Perhaps you're wasting your time here?Nairn
    • Yes, I AM wasting my time here ofc
      But I come here for the lols

      Like in this case - a Brit - complaining about something everybody gets except them
      ********
    • Also in this case UK left the EU especially because of EU laws governing finance - you're governed by a corupt bunch that don't want to pay taxes mate
      ********
    • Christ, you're a puddle of halfwit stupidity.Nairn
    • You really have no clue about things going on in your own country mate, do you?

      Like I said, coming here for the lols
      ********
    • If you'd ever paid more attention to the Brexit thread beyond your own projection, you'd know that a lot of us Brits are very much aware of the shit...Nairn
    • ..dripping down from the upper echelons. But there's a lot more besides - as in most of life, things aren't quite as neatly polarised as you'd like to believe.Nairn
