I think this is an interesting question because HN is relatively quiet relative to the bigger events deep in crypto land (eg. new protocols / markets / etc), whereas for everything else tech, speculative or not, you usually see HN activity. So I think the hype is still on its way up (looking at things like DeFi), but I think the overlap between the crowd that's hyped + HN readers is slowly decreasing (even as a lot of that crowd reads HN today).
