9. Paste your Bitcoin wallet address into the field, then click "Save"

10. Leave Twitter, and go to your iOS or Android cryptocurrency wallet and copy your Ethereum address

Because of the public nature of both the Bitcoins and the ethers, strangers can see what you have purchased in the past, and what you have purchased in the future.
