Cryptocurrencies are digital boundaries. That is, in the physical world you can clearly distinguish where France ends and Germany begins. And you can enumerate the millions of people near the Franco-German border, as opposed to those who are more internally located. But in the digital world, you can’t easily see the Instagram/X border. You can’t see which people spend a lot of time on both platforms, and are in a sense near the network border, as opposed to those who are “patriots” to just one platform. Until crypto. Because coin holdings give public digital boundaries. You can determine from wallets and posts which people are coin maximalists (and hold 100% in one coin) vs which people are in digital border territories (and hold balances in multiple coins). This is machine-readable information that can establish digital and physical borders for a community. NFT-gated Discords and door locks prove the point. So: it’s early now, but eventually crypto tribalism becomes crypto patriotism.

Related - do you think it's a good idea to have follow suggestions on farcaster based on people's onchain behavior? Like people holding certain tokens could be interested in people with similar tokens(ex- people with gaming nfts interested in other people with the same nfts)

Your wallet will define who you are. Onchain reputations will map digital boundaries

Your attention is your currency is the digital world. Might as well get rewarded or recognized where that contribution is going to.

With that point in mind, it makes it important when building tools like tip.md, you need to serve as a bridge between these crypto ecosystems. Our multi-chain tipping platform (ETH, SOL, BTC) recognises that many users exist in these "border territories" holding multiple coins. By enabling cross-chain support, we're making it easier for creators to receive support regardless of which digital nation their supporters belong to. The beauty is that these transactions become part of that visible, machine-readable boundary data that helps define these emerging digital communities

Wallets as digital passports. Feels like we're just scratching the surface of what identity means in the digital age.

Crypto wallets are flags. The chain you ride with is the country you claim. Borderless tech, but very bordered tribes.
