GAMING

Bitstamp And ZEBEDEE Bridge Major Gap Between Bitcoin And Gaming
By Alex McShane

Bitstamp and ZEBEDEE announced a partnership that will allow customers to instantly top up their in-game ZBD wallet and use it as a lightning wallet. While Bitstamp allows customers to move bitcoin to the ZEBEDEE ecosystem, users are now able to use their bitcoin across different virtual gaming environments.

Through bitcoin's lightning network interoperability between the real world and the virtual one will be possible with near-zero fees.

“This is a true integration of gaming and BTC trading..With the ability to move bitcoin between ZEBEDEE and Bitstamp easily at the push of a button, it’s essentially like having a joint account for both platforms." - David Osojnik, CTO of Bitstamp

DIVIDENDS

Twitter Must Adopt A Bitcoin Dividend For Users
By Jacob Kozhipatt

Twitter has recently released a tipping feature on its platform through bitcoin. While this allows content creators to seamlessly receive money from anywhere across the globe, it could be time that the company embraces dividend-like monetization programs where content creators get a slice of the advertising money.

The author believes this could be a good way of incentivizing content creators to have a bigger focus on this platform. At the same time, this would help facilitate the adoption of bitcoin, a borderless, permissionless and censorship resistance form of global currency.

"Many social media founders, for example Jack Dorsey, claim to embrace bitcoin’s philosophy. Integral to that philosophy is the ethos of decentralization. This decentralization should be applied to monetization for users." - Jacob Kozhipatt

MEME OF THE DAY

By thefatbitcoin2

"I should have bought more bitcoin". A famous thought which always comes in moments of sudden appreciation, but it is always easy in retrospect. Let me remind you that bitcoin is not a sprint, but a marathon, and if we agree that it is going to continue appreciating forever, then dollar cost average is the way.
