I think you have to participate a bit in the non-speculative side to get a feel for the culture and social movement that's brewing there. New entrants aren't the ones to watch since they're probably jumping in to make money, look to the increasing interest in DAOs as social coordination mechanisms, they will keep evolving to empower groups of individuals to have outsized impacts.

It might be slightly cool if they weren’t 99% either grifters or people who can’t actually do anything. Like, even basic programming that would actually make something real.

The current “culture” is literally just saying a lot of words and making absolutely zero point.

Sort of like Kanye said

“No one knows what it means, but it's provocative

Gets the people going”

> “No one knows what it means, but it's provocative. Gets the people going”

This is actually a high quality quote from Blades of Glory, a high quality film. Apt reference either way, though.

What are some non-speculative places where one can get into this?
It depends on your interests, I just joined a decentralized biotech discord where people are exploring alternative funding mechanisms for both non-profit science and biotech startups. There are quite a few art discords/communities that are focused on the actual art (and not on resale prices).
