To add a data point to maybe explain the difference in sentiment between your in-person interactions and online interactions: Whenever I have conversations with colleagues who are bullish on crypto, I typically just smile and nod. Typically, those who are pro-crypto are emotionally and financially invested in it. I don't find it useful to have a candid debate about it in an in-person setting where one party is invested in their position like that. To draw a comparison, if someone was telling me about how they were passionate about their religion. I would rather have a pleasant in-person conversation where they get to share something that they are passionate about than to have a debate that probably won't go to place where either party is elevated from the conversation. Online discussions tend to be more open and useful place to debate the merits/flaws of the ideals and implementations behind web3/crypto.
