Ask HN: How would you solve this problem?

Imagine you're a bootstrapped founder of a mobile social app. On the app, there are content creators and consumers. The userbase is global, with creators and users from all over the world.

You want to start allowing users to tip creators for their awesome content, similar to the way Twitch viewers can tip "bits" to streamers, which they can eventually cash out for real money.

The tips are expected to be very small, a few cents here and there.

How would you solve this? Maybe try to do exactly what Twitch does? Seems like it would be a heavy, expensive lift to try to navigate all the tax complexities. Perhaps Stripe could help?
