A demo from @sozibmollik shows changing the default from 0.01 USDC to 0.1 USDC and sending it by double tapping a post, confirming the workflow for larger creator support.

According to @VitalikButerin, showing an account’s country will bring many short-term positives, but in the medium term sophisticated actors will spoof locations by renting real users’ identities, weakening the signal’s reliability (source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 23, 2025). For traders, this implies an initial sentiment lift for anti-bot and geo-label defenses on crypto social platforms, followed by diminishing effectiveness as evasion rises, making sustained alpha from simple country tags unlikely without stronger verification (source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 23, 2025). Within the ETH ecosystem, the comment suggests higher strategic value for sybil-resistant, proof-of-personhood and decentralized identity primitives over naive geo-labeling, so monitoring on-chain identity activity and proof-of-human adoption may be more informative than country badges for medium-term positioning (source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 23, 2025). Risk-wise, traders should discount medium-term claims that country labels alone can curb manipulation and prioritize signals tied to verification costs and identity-binding mechanisms when assessing crypto social and identity narratives (source: @VitalikButerin on X, Nov 23, 2025).
