@witchescauldron Probably it's dropped out of fashion, like VR or the internet of things or "big data" or the tablet craze. There will be another buzzword along shortly.

Blockchain stuff I don't expect to go away, but to return to its residual level from a few years ago. There will still be people running Bitcoin scams, but it will be a niche thing for ancoms. If there is a big recession soon to hit, I don't think holding BTC or gold bars will save anyone from its effects.
