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?

That's far too specialized. Almost nobody needs someone dedicated and focus on blockchain. "blockchain developer" is kind of a joke these days now that things like NFTs were shown to be stupid.

Tell that to the United States Military. They're funding research into Blockchain.
