In 2014 there was a magical bot that let people zap each other on Twitter by tagging it in a tweet with someone’s username. It was really addictive for the tiny user base that understood it. Most just dismissed it as spam and never signed up.
Here’s someone probably ignoring a tip for almost 3 million sats, worth about $700 today.
To be fair, it reads like a phishing scam. I prob wouldn't have clicked such a link without it being from a person I know and they personally DM'd and said "hey check out this twitter bot I used to send you btc" 😂
That’s true, and they never found a viable businesses model. That said, it actually worked really well, and the company behind it even showed proof of reserves. They never did any shady stuff with user funds and let people withdraw for a long time after they shut it down.
Oh yeah it was tipping full throttle during the bitcoin bowl
The Bitcoin Bowl! I actually remember that. 🏈
What a time we lived though. 🤣
What the hell was the Bitcoin Bowl? Missed that... #[2]
It was BitPay’s short-lived attempt to help bitcoin go mainstream before it was ready.
