Absolutely incredible news.

Micropayments are one of the paths out of advertiser hell and were one of the original dreams of many crypto nerds and advocates.

I still think that twitter is pure mind cancer, but I have to give it to Jack on this. Great move, and something I hope gets repeated to the rest of the web.

For those who aren’t very familiar with the crypto space: this uses a bitcoin side chain called lightning; transactions are effectively free and instant, but still denominated in BTC.
