Tipping bots are platforms that enable users to transfer small amounts of digital currencies to one another. Users have increasingly been using such platforms to transfer micropayments to each other. Thus, people have been utilizing Tippr to tip BCH across social media networks like Facebook, Reddit or Twitter.
Bitcoin once popular
Initially, when altcoins were not common, Bitcoin (BTC-USD) was largely used for micro-tipping across the crypto communities. However, last year the crypto’s transaction fees begun to go up rapidly. Hence, bots discontinued issuing tips pegged to BTC for amounts below $15.
