Can you give examples of the many web3 projects that don’t involve crypto? If I’m uninformed, I’d need information to correct that.

yes, i can. from a simple search: https://sourceforge.net/software/web3/ https://sourceforge.net/software/web3/ it's a matter of understanding here. web3 is a set of technologies (decentralization, blockchains, etc.). once you understand that you know that with or without crypto it can stand on its own. (oh i mean cryptocurrency just in case you didn't get it).

  Can you point to anything specific which you’ve actually used which isn’t a cryptocurrency sales vehicle? That page mentions “crypto”, “NFT”, “defi”, etc. many times.

  Can you give one (1) example of a web3 project (that doesn’t involve crypto) that you use/have contributed to/know anybody that uses? Most of the links in that arbitrary search page include crypto terms in the description, and I’m guessing that most (all?) of them include them after clicking through. You have personal knowledge of many web3 use cases that don’t involve crypto. Do you have a single example?

      I’m a curious person! Thank you for clarifying that there are exactly zero non-crypto web3 projects. Out of curiosity, why are you trying to convince me of something while simultaneously refusing to give a single actual example? You’ve already put in the effort to respond to me multiple times but you can’t type www dot (non crpto web3 project) dot com because it’s too uhh… demeaning? Literally impossible?

        You're not a curious person, you've posted anti crypto stuff before, it's in your posting history. Can you at least post truthfully about your position? Being anti-crypto is fine but don't lie about your priors.

        The topic of this conversation is about how web3 and crypto are separate. Are you saying that my being skeptical of crypto means I’m biased against web3? How could that be the case if they’re unrelated concepts? Also lol at digging through my post history instead of talking about the topic.

        All I'm saying here is that you claim you're "a curious person" but actually you're a biased person. These kinds of fake assertions cheapen the quality of discussion here on HN. Be upfront about how you feel. I'm not here to defend either concept or to engage in another flame war here on HN. > Also lol at digging through my post history instead of talking about the topic. Cool have a nice day.

        Do you have an example of a non-crypto web3 project or are you literally just here to contribute “I don’t like you”?
