Twitter user “Tree of Alpha” said a bundle of 150 Twitter Coins could be purchased Wednesday for $1.99. The only payment method available is Stripe.
IBC Group CEO Mario Nawfal has previously said that the launch of Twitter Coins will allow users to reward tweets.
App researcher Nima Owji posted a Twitter screenshot explaining its native token. According to Twitter, its tokens are “virtual goods.” As you receive coins, they accumulate into diamonds, which can be exchanged for cash. “

Twitter said its token will allow fans and viewers to reward content creators while creating passive income channels.
However, Joe Burnett, principal analyst at Blockware, noted that Twitter competitor Nostr’s zaps are “1,000 times better than Twitter Coins.” Nostr is a decentralized social media platform where zaps represent micropayments using the Bitcoin Lightning Network.
