What specifically are folks here reading up on regarding Ethereum?
I'm looking for interesting takes, generally growing exhausted from the various eth subreddits, cryptocurrency and bitcoin that are commentary on pricing. Sites like cointelgraph are also just barren of anything interesting. It seems like such an exciting time for cryptocurrency but not seeing the level of rigorous thinking I want.
I wrote a piece on the topic earlier this year in my blog [1] since I was also interested in learning more on the topic of Ethereum and DeFi, and not interested at all in the speculative take that attracts most people.
In my post I write about an open source project I implemented using smart contracts that acts as an options (derivatives) exchange, and all the components required for making it work (ex: stablecoins, price oracles, collateral management, liquidity pools, etc).
The /r/ethfinance daily is much more focused on interesting technical and social developments and has a higher level of discourse than any other crypto sub I'm aware of. Still some price talk/memes, but there's some consistently thoughtful and well informed posters there, and I'd recommend checking it out.
I don't think you'll find what you're looking for. I spent several years on the same quest. Ultimately I found the answers by finding people who know what they're doing and then talking to them (for a long time). Going to conferences was helpful. Reading source code can also be useful.

Yeah this article is complete trash. No comment.
