Few years back there was crazy hype around blockchain. Every other day it was this is the future, decentralization will change everything.

People were jumping into it like anything:

- Blockchain developers

- Blockchain architects

- Even blockchain managers

- So many conferences and meetups

Now suddenly it feels very quiet.

What happened to all those folks?

Did most of them move to AI/ML now since that’s the new hype?

Or are companies still working on blockchain but without all the noise?

Genuinely curious how that whole space looks today compared to a few years ago.
