Pornstars, Rejoice! Twitter Might Start Letting You Tip Real Money To Other Users If You Like Their Tweets

PYMNTS - Twitter could be working on a way to “tip” people on the social media platform, though the company has so far denied it. The information came from two sources claiming to be familiar with Twitter’s inner workings, according to reports.

Some news outlets reported that Twitter was considering a tipping service specifically for bitcoin, but this remains to be seen. Twitter Founder Jack Dorsey has spoken highly of bitcoin in the past, saying that the internet “deserves a native currency,” and that he’s a huge fan of bitcoin.

Social Media Today - "Twitter is considering a feature that will allow users to tip - sending each other money from their tweets - according to two people familiar with the company’s decisions. [...] Twitter and Square already partner to let users make donations to politicians through tweets, according to company filings."

This is a pornstar's dream. Move over "Amazon Wishlist" in the Twitter bio, heyhowareya being able to accept tips literally right there on the Tweet with your titties in it. Can you imagine how rich some people are going to get? Can you imagine how many Cam Models are going to tweet "$50 on this tweet and I'll post a nip". Horny dudes across the country are going to be absolutely reckless with it. Nookie Chat is going to have to take out a second mortgage on his parent's house

It's actually a cool concept if you think about it in the way that like, people stand outside on the street singing songs and hope you put spare change in a hat. Now they can do that on Twitter. See a joke you like from a struggling comedian or a young musician puts up a cool song, you can now pay them directly to show appreciation. When you listen to a band on Spotify they get like .04 cents. Now you'll be able to pay them on Twitter the same way you would tip someone singing on the Subway, and you don't have to risk getting kicked in the face in the process

Hey, nobody is going to hold a gun to your head and make you tip on Twitter. But the option is pretty cool. In fact, I think it's sort of a no-brainer. Money rules everything, right? Capitalism, baby. Put that tip button right on the Tweets and let people go nuts. Congrats in advance to Asa on the extra billion dollars.
