In the past, people would send bitcoin micropayments to each other on social media and online forums as a way of showing appreciation for a post. Unfortunately, bitcoins fees are now so high that it is no longer feasible to send a payment which is under $15. However, since bitcoin cash was launched in August 2017, users have once again been able to send micropayments to each other, thanks to fees which stand at 2 cents or less for each transaction.

If you are a social media user who wishes to send bitcoin cash using Twitter or Reddit, the BCH Tippr bot might be just the thing you need. Reddit posters can simply type "/u/tippr" before entering the details of the funds they wish to send along with the other party's username.

The same action can be performed on Twitter by tagging the bot and the person you wish to send funds to in a post, followed by $0.70 @tipprbot." If you would like to see how popular this service has become, just spend a few minutes looking through the Twitter feed of the Tippr bot. Micropayments are a great way of generating interest in cryptocurrencies amongst young people.
