Twitter lets you tip with Bitcoin, announces slew of privacy updates

Twitter today announced a host of new features for its platform. While some of these features will be available on the micro-blogging platform starting today, others will arrive in the coming months. But the biggest and most interesting update it has rolled out is to its tipping feature called Tips. Twitter today announced that it has started rolling out Tips, which it started testing with a select group of people in the US back in May this year, to its users across the globe starting today. What’s interesting about this feature is that now users will be able to share money not just in digital currencies but also in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
