I did not know such a project existed to tip twitter users who don't have steem accounts , very cool

https://steemtipper.com/
SteemTipper is a free service which allows social account holders to send STEEM to each other by tweeting and commenting. Help cultivate a kinder community and share the love by tipping small amounts of STEEM to others! To begin tipping, first deposit some STEEM into your SteemTipper account. This balance becomes available to send to others on social media by using special commands. When you send a tip, your SteemTipper account balance decreases by the amount you choose (no fees!) and the balance of the person you tipped will increase by the full tip amount.

Now
Bitcoin is around 7k and Steem is around 1.20
