Like any quickly developing industry, crypto is changing quickly. That means you can get in on the cutting edge, and stay with it as it becomes mainstream.
The Ethfinance Daily thread on reddit is worth joining and reading daily: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethfinance/
You can also hop on Warpcast, a crypto focused community with a Twitter-like interface.
I recommend diving in with some new project that catches your attention and understand whatever you can. Discord participation is also useful for many projects.
HN community has evaluated crypto and is very skeptical / adverse.
My recommendation is to also steer clear of the crypto space. We can take some of the interesting parts, like zk-proofs and formal verification advancements, and use them outside of crypto coin based system. Hyperledger is a blockchain platform I like, but that brands me a heretic to crypto people. I see their financialization / derivatization of everything a bad path for society to take
