my opinion on sustainable, programmatic tipping is that eventually we'll see all USDC tippers fade away

we're rn at 40% usdc, 60% everything else wrt to volumes

altruism is good. but not sustainable, it won't meet pmf over the long, long run

you'll eventually see usdc tippers churn (i say this while we have 94% d30 retention) 

and people who create / associate / belong to token communities will have the highest incentive to keep tipping and reaching new wallets / users

usdc won't stay, forcing a token to be tipped won't win either 

what wins is when you give a user freedom to tip whatever they believe in

i think USDC tippers are here to stay and it will be a higher signal (superlike?) to tip USDC than any other token 

other tokens will be used more like in-game currencies, not for actual tipping
