Twitter allows you to make donations in Ethereum. Thus, Bitcoin and Ethereum are now supported by the platform.
Last year, Twitter announced plans to introduce a donation feature. Users can then donate money to their favorite creators, similar to how you donate to your favorite Twitch streamers. Today, the microblogging platform announces that it supports Ethereum donations. The cryptocurrency comes on top of bitcoin, which has been supported for it since last year.
Twitter Allows Ethereum Donations
For those who don’t know, this Twitter donation feature provides creators with a new source of income. If you follow the author on Twitter, like his work and posts, and want to help, you can donate to him. This is a very unique operation that you can repeat at will as many times as you like, with variable amounts.
The expansion of support for cryptocurrencies is not surprising, since the company has shown interest in the blockchain several times. Some time ago, Twitter announced that users who subscribe to the Blue service can display their NFTs as profile pictures.
Thus, Bitcoin and Ethereum are now supported by the platform.
That being said, it will be interesting to see how many people actually use cryptocurrency donations. Indeed, since these digital currencies are very volatile, the value of which can fluctuate greatly over several hours, the value of a fiat donation will also fluctuate greatly…
One thing is for sure: Twitter seems to be determined to embrace blockchain technologies and not just cryptocurrencies. Let’s hope she finds them interesting practical cases to go beyond a simple “quirk effect”so to speak. To be continued!
