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)

Really like this framing. Wallets are becoming passports, and token holders are forming digital nations. We're still early, but identity and belonging in crypto are already taking shape.

1. Digital boundaries are the new national borders In the physical world, borders define geography and identity. In the digital world, those borders are fuzzy—platforms like Instagram or X don’t expose who “belongs” where. But crypto changes that. Holding a coin isn’t just an investment—it’s a public declaration of alignment. A wallet that’s 100% BTC shows loyalty. A wallet diversified across ETH, SOL, and DOGE shows you’re living in the “borderlands.”

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

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

Doesn't this affect the gospel of decentralization we preach? Onchain footprints of users are everywhere and trackable. Phew.
