Twitch is the leading streaming platform, for anything really - but best known in the gaming community.  Twitch stars such as top gamer 'Ninja' earn up to $500,000 per month steaming their gameplay on Twitch - all that money donated by fans.

While millionare superstar gamers are rare - there's countless smaller streams earning a few hundred bucks per month, enough to total over $100 million a year paid out by Twitch to to various streamers!

Streamlabs announced the move in a post on their official blog reading:

"Hodl? Crypto tips are here!

It’s time to give one of your lambos a wash, because all Streamlabs broadcasters can now accept cryptocurrency tips. We’re initially adding support for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash, and will be looking into adding other coins in the future."

Another interesting factor to consider - Amazon owns Twitch, they purchased the company in 2014.  Could we looking at the testing grounds for something bigger? While the payments go through StreamLabs - our sources at Amazon say they'll be "paying attention to the results".
