I think it is great to think about HN biases. Not in a disrespectful but an epistemological way. For example, we know that Web3 is not well received here.

It's only well received in scammer and grifter circles though.

It's really not. That's just the prevailing misconception around here from a group of people that seems unwilling to read anything about crypto not written by luddite griftfluencers.

Because you don't live in Argentina though. Web3 was just an example. Also remember that Coinbase was a YC startup.

You comment basically proves the point of this thread! Everyone lives in their own echo chamber.

Cryptocurrencies aren't really "Web3" though are they. Web3 is all the absolute rot that people have tried to glue onto a blockchain just so they can tick a buzzword box. NFTs are still a scam, even in Argentina.

There is no super formal definition of these terms, people think on different things when they hear about them. Even cryptocurrencies could not be crypto.

I will not start arguing about NFTs, it is enough to say that the technology is useful in one place and not in another and help people to transact internationally.
