You won't receive payment in Bitcoin but it is tip from other Twitter users if they feel satisfied with your tweets.
The interesting thing is tip will be done on Lightning and you will receive Bitcoin, in satoshi numbers. It is better than tips with altcoins (Brave, Steem, etc.)
If you receive 1000 satoshis, it is 1000 satoshis forever, not like altcoins that will be dumped too fastly.
Yes I think it's more beneficial that what content creators recieves especially on steemit, I think my problem with the tips is that is so favourable to very recognized and established twitter owners and in a general case social media owners, some of those influencers don't even necessarily need the tip, you may see an excitingly interesting post but the reluctancy to tip it abound, I think social media like twitter should have a way to promote an exciting, interesting and knowledgeable post even if the owner of the account isn't too popular.
