Not every flag represents a geographical entity. Some of them represent movements, like the rainbow flag or the Gadsden flag. Bitcoin becomes a flag in this sense, as the encoding of technology's values: internationalist, capitalist, decentralized.

A flag is something to align around. Bitcoin is many people's first choice and many people's second choice, which means it will become the community's first choice.

The closest analogy is Linux. Google & Facebook are tough competitors, but cooperate on Linux. That’s because it's a demilitarized zone where one party cannot deprive the other of their contributions. Bitcoin serves a similar role. All can profit from it, none can corrupt it.
