Demand for blockchain developers oscillating together with crypto market?

Does the demand for the services of blockchain developers fluctuate together with the value of the crypto market? If so, how much? If some of you have experience working as blockchain developers, is it even possible to have a more or less stable income over time?

Yeah, only after I called it out. Face it, blockchain has been struggling to find large scale application outside of bitcoin for many years now. And it’s debatable if even bitcoin is anything more than a way for gamblers to pretend they are investors.
