Twitter’s Tip feature allows you to add third-party payment links to your account so you can monetize your followers. You can even add a cryptocurrency address to Twitter Tips.
At this stage, the Tip is only available on the mobile app, which should come as no surprise to often neglected web users. If you’re a desktop-only user, you’ll need to add your payment link the old-fashioned way and simply paste it into your profile.
If, however, you have a mobile device handy and a crypto address ready to share, you can start accepting Tips right now. Let’s discuss how you can add a crypto address to your Twitter profile and monetize—or not—social media.
Add a cryptocurrency address to Twitter Tips
Here’s how you can use Tips to add a crypto address to your Twitter profile:
start I tweet app and tap your Profile icon
Select profile
touch Edit profile
Select Advice
edit Allow advice activate and select the cryptocurrency you want to use
Copy and paste your crypto address and tap Save
When you first set up Tips, Twitter asks you to tweet about it. With your crypto address proudly displayed on your profile, now is the perfect time to start begging your followers for loose change like a tech-savvy internet wanderer.
Will Twitter add more crypto options to Tips?
As the number of cryptocurrencies seems set to outpace podcasts—everyone has one—Twitter could add more choices to the Tips list.
While Bitcoin and Ethereum seem to be the fan favorites, there are a surprising number of other options, which leaves a lot of potential for new additions. Maybe sometime in the future, we’ll even see WhopperCoin added to the menu.
