The "onchain" narrative is a bit weird to me because it's like flexing about being "onAWS" or "oncloud"

A chain is only one part of your tech stack. In fact, having to compose everything onchain is an anti-pattern that emerged because light client support sucks

Offchain is more expressive, safe, and cost efficient

it’s a pretty effective marketing and differentiating term that normal people can get behind 

Better than web3 or crypto or blockchain anyway

I've stopped accommodating this kind of dismissal... people who either do it, or buy into it, are either too lazy to really think about it, or hold a structurally hostile ideology, or are simply... not very bright

It's good to refine vocabulary for clarity, but euphemism and dissimulation are Not The Way

Disagree, crypto is king :)

The strong technology shouldn't bend it's terminology to be more palatable. Let the world come to it

interesting take from @vgr. wonder what the reality is now on these terms? Between 2017-2020 I did a LOT of workshops with “normie” ppl from students to pensioners using Lego to explain how “blockchain” works. they made an effort and got it. but the term crypto just didn’t land.
