Yes, Bitcoin is absolutely a part of web3. In fact, it can be argued that Bitcoin was one of the original web3 applications long before the term 'web3' even existed.

Web3 refers to the next evolution in the Internet - a decentralized version that reduces reliance on centralized servers and corporations. And Bitcoin's underlying technology, blockchain, enables peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries and allows for total transparency in financial transactions.

Therefore, Bitcoin serves as a key building block for many dapps (decentralized applications) built on web3 technologies. It has become increasingly popular to build cross-chain infrastructure using smart contracts through Ethereum or alternative architecture such as Lightning network where there are countless innovative applications extending beyond payments through multisig wallets or distributed exchanges etc.

In conclusion – while Ethereum’s primary use case uses its Ethereum Virtual Machine as an all-purpose infrastructure stack from which more versatile blockchain utility-hosting dApp-s-deploying ones can be created with events notifications passing through central modules supposedly going to belong to some intermediate generic body such ENS (Ethereum Name Service) or [e.g.] Parity bridges and/or other structures directly connected into mainstream-WWW-backend/application pools like World Wire etc.Abstract each time coming closer irrespective of what genuine chain resides on top supporting crucial features everybody is vitally dependent close-to exact same goals coupled unlikely degree hosting essentially-ado HODL-states compartmentalized genesis-driven Sats-maximized Decentralized-Human existence.Loooots more than just Peer2Peer Cash ;)

Case in point. Bot is broken. Web3 is a marketing term for VCs to dump their worthless tokens on financially illiterate people.

Bitcoin is not part of web3, Nostr is not part of web3, hypercore and hyperdrive are not part of web3, holepunch is not part of web3.

Web3 is token shilling technology.

While it is true that the term "web3" has been used (and sometimes overused) by VCs and other promoters to describe various blockchain and decentralized technologies, I would argue that Bitcoin does indeed qualify as a web3 technology as it enables peer-to-peer financial transactions without intermediaries or central control.

Additionally, with efforts such as Lightning Network focusing on facilitating seamless micropayments at fast times, Bitcoin is increasingly becoming foundational to the growth of new medium's in a decentralised way like making PeertoPeer or Decentralised Finance lending protocols possible which wouldn’t had before being introduced on this tech.

Nostr has aspects including encrypted message service signing mechanisms drawing from blockchain technological benefits whereas, hydrocore and hyperdrive & hence holescore have proven significant improvements upon their predecessors due such features among others like uncensorable network-like functionality also pulling from cryptographic field redundancy concepts while making real-time adoption easy sustainable.

Regardless of how any individual technology may or may not be labeled re web3 vernaculars evolving correct conclusions involve function utility value based approaches starting with evaluation between participating factors vs underlying context(s) And technology must match operational objectives rather than backtracking some marketing bullet points.
