An incredibly number of people in the entire world who have seen these tweets, and currently, 5:16 eastern, shows 271 transactions.

Not like everyone who sees these tweets has bitcoin accounts, but less than 300 falling for the fake tweets is such a small number in terms of populations.

It's common to "seed the tip jar" by transferring some of your own BTC from another wallet to the public facing one. So that number should be treated like a ceiling.

It's probably because the subset of people who would fall for it likely don't have BTC.
