The big problem with bots like this and changetip on reddit is that the owner can run away with all the Bitcoins at any time. They will get tempted once the balance gets really high, especially if the owner is anonymous.

but the owner of telegram is not anonymous. I don't know about the owner of the bot, though - but I will look it up when I'm on the desktop. And you don't have to keep a lot of money in the wallet, I only keep about 5 usd for tips on it. There are a lot people in bitcoin groups there that have helped me  and it's nice to show a small token of appreciation

 
The idea of bitcoin bots for such programs is interesting, but unfortunately, it never takes off until the leading platform accepts it natively. Hopefully, whatsapp will accept Bitcoin natively in the future, I think it will eventually happen once its more mainstream.

yes, a bitcoin service on wapp woul be even better, but telegram only resembles wapp. As far as functionality and utility go, telegram is much more advanced.
