The Venn diagram of web3, cryptocurrency, and blockchain proponents is substantially similar to a circle.

No it really is not, but nice try and great meme!

Can you give an example of web3 tech that doesn't involve a blockchain in any way?

Do you understand how a venn diagram works? I can give you plenty of examples of blockchains that are unrelated to cryptocurrency, any corporate run block chain. And examples of blockchains unrelated to web3, bitcoin is a well known example of this.

I'm not asking about that. I'm asking about the converse. If corporations want to waste their money on an internal blockchain, that's fine; it doesn't affect me. But we're talking about people evangelizing this technology to precipitate large-scale societal change, which is focused on the intersection of cryptocurrencies, blockchain and "web3".

No we are talking about how web3, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies are all separate yet related ideas. You are saying they are equivalent.
