> VCs are too traumatized to invest in the stuff regular people actually want to buy and use

What are these things? The post doesn't seem to elaborate on the "actually useful and desirable stuff".

I allocated small portions of my investment portfolio to BTC (3%) and ETH (1%) last year. I don't have any faith in crypto but it has proved me wrong for many years. Also, there is a lot of renewed doubt about the place of USD in the global economic system, and gold can only go so far. Plus it's very easy to invest in them now: IBIT, FBTC, ETHA, FETH, etc. Last, in terms of the age-old wisdom of being fearful when others are greedy and vice versa, this article is a clear buy signal. I've heard that crypto is ^SPX on steroids but the correlations I've ran seem to suggest that BTC and ETH have quite a bit of uncorrelation to equities. Time will tell!

As a developer, what is something crypto-related that is fun to dabble in?
