An improved version of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), has quickly risen to become one of the world’s most popular altcoins – still, getting it into the hands of more people remains a challenge. Telegram’s tipbot aims to change this.

While tipping bots have always been a powerful tool in the world of cryptocurrencies, most of them could only be used on Twitter or Reddit. Running on top of the Telegram protocol is a newly made Tippr-like bot which aims to expose millions of users to Bitcoin Cash, making it possible to send and receive payments, while at the same time tipping users.

The new Telegram bot shares many similarities with Tippr, which has been quite popular among BCH supporters as the bot is incredibly useful itself. It is interesting to see whether the new bot for Telegram would get people to pay more attention to Bitcoin Cash. The bot makes it much easier to send or receive payments in the altcoin.

While many expected a tip bot to be made for the most popular cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, the high fees for Bitcoin transactions render it as a not so viable solution for the cryptocurrency. This may, however, change in the future once the Lightning Network goes live. The Tip Me BCH bot only supports Bitcoin Cash currently, and it is interesting to see how Telegram users respond to it.
