Ethereum is the second most popular cryptocurrency. Many are concerned whether Bitcoin has more potential or Ethereum has. However, experts believe that both the projects can potentially bring new evolution. Still, many strong Bitcoin proponents like Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of the social media behemoth, Twitter do hate Ethereum. Notably, it is noted that as Dorsey left his position as the CEO of the firm, Twitter has become more bullish on Ethereum.

However, as Dorsey left his position, the mobile users of the platform announced the incorporation of Ether as a part of the Twitter-native tipping system.
Furthermore, the team behind the firm announced on Thursday the development to offer an array of options for as many as possible globally.
BTC and ETH tipping on Twitter
Both the iOS and Android applications of Twitter support the aforementioned tipping feature. According to a report published by the Twitter team, through the tips system, users will also be able to copy someone’s Ether and Bitcoin address and paste their’s into whatever wallet they use.

Notably, the move of the firm followed Twitter’s continued exploration of the Ether ecosystem. The firm debuted NFTs verification for paid Twitter blue subscribers last month.
