If anyone is hoping to earn any tips on this forum, you're probably in the wrong place. It seems the vast majority of people are here to earn through signature campaigns (and alike) rather to spend/give away.

But, outside bitcointalk, the tipping/donating culture among bitcoiners still holds somewhat strong. Looking at any popular project, youtube channel, charity etc. that accept bitcoins, most do receive quite meaningful (and regular) btc income. Few examples:

WikiLeaks: over BTC4,007 received to the current address
FreeDomainRadio: over BTC669
even Lifeboats (RNLI) received almost BTC12 despite the fact that btc donation option is hidden and not accessible from the main page (you have to google search for it).

So if you're doing something that a lot of people find really useful, then there's a big chance you'll get some appreciation tips.

Exactly, maybe before when the price of bitcoin was not too high even the ones with less coins could tip someone with bitcoins but now a days if someone has a very limited amount of bitcoins then they would just think of holding them as the price is too high, and only the ones with a lot of bitcoins might think of tipping someone with them for a service or something.

I don't see how high btc price prevents anyone from tipping. You know you could just send smaller amount, right?
More of a problem are the high tx fees, it doesn't make much sense anymore to tip anyone with $1 worth, if you have to pay ie $0.50 fee.

Indeed I agree, the fact is that tipping is still worth it and you can stay doing it even with lower amounts right, so what is the problem..
