Boring? You must be kidding. These huge up and downs, a lot of projects in the past collected huge amount of money based on idea mostly.
You mean ideas is same as others and it repeats over the time again and again. But many different projects can't start because of recent problems. When we will see real scalability in 1000x tx/sec we will see a lot of "fun" and "entertainment" projects. Like real interesting version of poker on blockchain for example.
