Twitch's tipping currency, bought with real money and given in chat with an animated cheer — bits — as the record's entry for the coin that is not a coin, and for the sound a hundred of them make, which every streamer's audience knows.
The record notes bits, subs, gifted subs and donations are four ways of giving a streamer money, that all four have their own sound, and that the sounds are the actual economy.
There was a version of Bits that went round my family group chat about a month late, presented as new. I did not correct anyone. It was, for them, new, and that has to count for something.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
