> I’d actually see early crypto news as a local interest but local meaning a technical niche instead of geographical.

Interesting point, I had not considered that. Locality not just in the geographical sense.

> I still think 99% of major daily headlines won’t affect your daily life.

I agree for the majority of people in other countries. In my case, I live in a developing country with >50% annual inflation. Sometimes headlines here really affect your life, like the govt suddenly prohibiting importing US dollars (e.g., if you work remotely), or requiring 1/3 women to form a LLC so I can't open a business with a male friend when I could yesterday. And this is clearly just following trends from USA/Europe. There are countless other examples.

I'd agree, though, not that these are not strictly "international" news but not local either.
