Anyone that doesn't just want you to buy what they hold in order to make money will tell you to do your own research (which is what DYOR means).
People that don't insist you do your own research should not be listened to.
However, you should listen to no salesmen. The only people who's word you should put any stock in to are people that insist what I've said above repeatedly.
Unless they tell you to prove it for yourself and to not take their word for it, they are best treated as salesmen.
With that being said, what you want to look for (if investing) are projects that advertise good tech and have a well put together development team.
Otherwise, if you want to better understand the future of blockchain, it's hard to point you in to any specific direction because a) I don't want you to think I'm trying to shill any project specifically and b) most people that talk about crypto don't talk about technological progression society-wise and don't think that far ahead.
Crypto is doing all sorts of extremely interesting things at the moment, like lending platforms, city-building platforms, passive income platforms, digital consensus platforms (look in to this because it's important), smart contract platforms (huge potential) and much much more that I can't fit in to a digestible reply.
Lastly, let me reiterate: do your own research.
Listening to these morans here that don't want you to make money or see in to the future is a mistake. They don't want the truth getting out about blockchain - that it's the next Wheel or Internet.
