       It's mind blowing that twitch has a $300+ bits package. Because that of course means there is people buying it.

       @proxeus Wait what. "Users cannot donate, etc"Isn't that exactly what they're used for? (Actual question, I don't really use twitch)

       @SIGCINT Partially yes, but according to Twitch, it's mostly used to increase the visibility of your messages. In other words, user promotion and status recognition in the community.

       @proxeus So, between paying to unlock parts of twitch's service and from what I got elsewhere, it does translate into money for the streamer (at a terrible ratio) I'd say that's monetary value by definition.I wonder what kind of interpretive legal dance enables them to print that *no monetary value* line.

       @SIGCINT I guess what they mean is they have no other value other than to be used in the way they specified, to discourage people to clean money with it or do any sort of illegal activities using it.But of course that doesn't prevent someone to set up a fake channel and have someone use bits to make a payment to that user, although that might be easy to detect for Twitch, depending on how they set it up.
