Fatigue? Half a dozen blockchain related posts hit the front-page every day, more than any other individual topic, and most of the discussions are not that great.

I wish there was more discussion around the technical stuff, especially the things in the pipeline: The lightning network, Schnorr signatures, Hashed TimeLock Contracts, Merklized Abstract Syntax Trees, the Simplicity language, etc.

That and there's almost never any new discussion. 90% of the posts degenerate into "how do I get rich off of this?" or "it's a bubble" comments.
