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.

- drcongo 3y agoIt's only well received in scammer and grifter circles though.
- actuallyrizzn 3y agoIt'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.
- wslh 3y agoBecause 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.
- drcongo 3y agoCryptocurrencies 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.
- wslh 3y agoThere 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.
