Bits are like virtual currency and are purchased directly from Twitch . The purpose of the bits is basically that the user who uses them during the streaming and receives a special badge that will be displayed next to her name when she speaks in chat.
It is a form of recognition, of “social position” within streaming. So the more bits you use, the higher your rank will be and your sponsor emote will be different .
These emotes can be customized by the streamer. In general, the price of bits is quite affordable and their cost will be less if you buy them roughly ., that is, in large quantities.
