The platform X, formerly known as Twitter, takes a decisive step towards integrating Bitcoin payments thanks to the collaboration with BitBit and Spark.
From today, over 500 million users can send and receive Bitcoin instantly and securely, even without having a pre-existing wallet. This innovation promises to radically change the way people interact and support each other economically on social networks.
BitBit: the social wallet that simplifies Bitcoin
BitBit is presented as a self-custodial social wallet that allows users to send and receive Bitcoin directly from the browser, without intermediaries and with full control of their funds. The integration with X allows payments to be associated with the platform’s usernames, making it possible to receive tips even for those who have not yet created a wallet. If not activated within 21 days, the funds are automatically returned to the sender, ensuring security and transparency.
An unprecedented user experience
The strength of BitBit lies in its intuitive interface and its ability to eliminate the technical complexities typical of payment solutions on Bitcoin. Thanks to Spark, the wallet offers a smooth, fast, and low-cost experience, overcoming the scalability limits of technologies like the Lightning Network. The stated goal is to make payments in Bitcoin accessible to everyone, without requiring specific technical skills.
Spark: the technology that fuels the revolution
At the center of this innovation is Spark, the Layer 2 solution developed by Lightspark. Spark stands out for being the fastest, cheapest, and most user-friendly way to build financial applications and launch assets on Bitcoin. Lightspark, already a partner of entities like Coinbase, NuBank, and Bitso, aims to transform Bitcoin into the true open infrastructure for global payments.
An open and neutral network
David Marcus, co-founder and CEO of Lightspark, emphasizes how Spark was built on Bitcoin precisely because it represents the only open and neutral network for transferring value. “We are working tirelessly to ensure that the future of money resembles that of the Internet: open and accessible to everyone,” says Marcus. The integration of Spark with BitBit on X demonstrates the potential of Bitcoin in empowering content creators and digital communities worldwide.
The importance of meeting users where they are
Felipe Servin, founder and CEO of BitBit, highlights the importance of offering solutions that adapt to users’ habits. “It is essential to meet people where they already are, instead of expecting them to learn to use new technologies,” explains Servin. With most conversations about Bitcoin happening right on X, the platform confirms itself as the ideal place to integrate Bitcoin payments intended for the general public.
An extension already available and continuously evolving
The BitBit extension is already available for all browsers compatible with Chrome, making the new Bitcoin tipping feature immediately accessible. Support for mobile devices and integration with stablecoins are also on the way, further expanding the possibilities for use and community engagement.
Privacy, control, and community engagement
One of the most innovative aspects of BitBit is the ability to offer payments and tips without compromising privacy or control over one’s funds. The direct integration with X usernames allows for a frictionless experience, ideal for those who wish to support content creators, projects, or simply send a digital thank you. All of this happens in a transparent, secure way and without intermediaries.
Towards the future of digital payments
The arrival of BitBit and Spark on X marks a key moment in the evolution of digital payments and the adoption of Bitcoin as a global asset. The ability to send and receive Bitcoin in seconds, without technical barriers, opens new prospects for content monetization, user support, and the creation of more open and inclusive digital economies.
