It's amazing seeing all these crypto influencers looking at this Bitcoin tipping feature of twitter like the wheel is being invented before their eyes. The wheel has been already invented and it's spinning at quite a pace. It's name is Hive and we already have DeFi on it...

Pompliano and the others alike wouldn't know about it as they're happily entangled in WEB 2.0 although portraying themselves as blockchain technology proponents. If in that position, why the hell none is doing a minimal research and find about Hive?...

It was announced recently that twitter is testing Bitcoin tips via the lightning network, that making it possible basically to send funds all over the world at "speed of the internet". Great, but Hive is doing that through simple wallet transfers for years now. It's nothing new, but no one is celebrating it. When twitter(WEB 2.0) does it, all are getting euphoric...except one.

What Twitter is doing with Bitcoin is like putting lipstick on a pig. It doesnt make you want to kiss it. Web 2.0 tied to #crypto is still Web 2.0. @taskmaster4450

What a poetic way of saying that what twitter is doing with its lightning network tipping option is still a sort of a centralized shit. Twitter is still the platform that "deplatforms" and proof of my words is the case of Donald Trump during the elections in the US. You've played an important role in rigging the elections, twitter.

If twitter can close your account, without any justification at all, same as the right to fundamental freedoms is being denied right now to most of us all over the world, what would stop it from doing that if supposedly "tipping the wrong person". Isn't it possible that twitter might somehow create some social profiles, based on the data they collect, and churn its users that can and can not use that feature?

I've seen that guy Jack Mallers so excited the other day of being able to send Peter McCormak $10 worth of Bitcoin by using this twitter new feature, available on IOS for the moment, when this thing is no longer a novelty on Hive for many years now. I can send 10 HBD to anyone in the world having a Hive account, in seconds, with absolutely no fee.

Congratulations twitter for once again reinventing Hive. The app is still WEB 2.0 and it will stay as such until the last user decides to leave it, and probably it's time to shill Hive even more aggressive. We paved this road, not Jack Dorsey. Let that be clear.

Thanks for attention, Adrian
