Markus described DOGE as the “original tipping cryptocurrency” of the internet. Back in 2014, for instance, the community raised the necessary amount of funds to allow the Jamaican bobsleigh team to participate in the Winter Olympics.
Dogecoin has the lowest transaction fees among all the major cryptocurrencies available in the market, which makes it a perfect fit for sending tips.
Twitter launched its “tip jar” feature last may, that makes it possible to send money to other Twitter users. The feature was launched as a way of supporting content creators. In late September, Twitter also enabled support for Bitcoin, making it possible to send tips via the Lightning Network.
