You clearly know that snatching up the trademark for a beloved name and reusing it for a crypto project is going to be unpopular, given you took the time to make a throwaway account. So then why did you brag about your trademark, registered to your real name, which can be found in 30 seconds?

This account is more than a year old. I make lots of HN accounts and typically stop using them after 500karma.
Like I said web3 is not popular on HN, you don’t even know the project (nor do others) but show disdain anyway because it is “crypto”. That’s not a reflection on me and what I’m doing with GeoCities, but the a reflection on people that dislike a project not knowing what it is.
FYI you’re on a platform that invests in startups, one of the most successful being a cryptocurrency exchange that went public and is responsible for the growth of cryptocurrency with the masses.

The difference is YC has a long string of non-crypto successes. So when they do invest in crypto, people are less suspicious of it than they would be some random person plugging their crypto project.
Coinbase fills a need created by the chaos of crypto, the very chaos that causes the problems people criticize it for, and it does so reigning in the BS and creating a safe space for the few useful (or at least innocent) things like speculative investing and exchange. It's not like a DAO where you're counting on someone to write a good Ethereum contract that won't be rules lawyered by someone to take all the money. At this point the only thing that distinguishes it from a real bank is it handles crypto. Even the USD is FDIC-insured!
I don’t need to try again, I own the GeoCities trademark and IP.
I’m really not sure what you are on about in terms of your hate for crypto & DAOs but love for Coinbase, whatever it is, your suspicion isn’t a reflection on me and what I’m doing with GeoCities, it’s a reflection of yourself. Good luck with all that.
They say you haven’t made it until you have haters…so thanks for spending your time and energy confirming that I’ve arrived.
