BITCOIN TIPPING ON DAMUS

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Bitcoin developers have launched Zapple Pay, a new service enabling the exchange of Bitcoin through emojis in the Bitcoin-friendly app Damus. The innovation comes after Apple threatened to remove Damus from its App Store for allowing users to exchange Bitcoin, a practice it equates to selling digital media. Damus' developer, William Casarin, removed this functionality, leaving users with only the ability to exchange profile-level tips. However, some independent developers found this workaround, arguing that Apple will struggle to interfere due to the third-party nature of their service.
