Lately, flipping NFTs has been a bit surreal: the floor price is like tea leaves at the bottom of a cup, everyone watching it as "consensus," but when no one buys in, liquidity disperses as quickly as steam. Royalties are also quite awkward; when the market is hot, everyone is willing to "support creators," but when it cools down, they start calculating the friction costs of each transaction, and the narrative also cools off.

Recently, the wave of AI Agents and automated trading is even more obvious: some are touting "fully automated floor sweeping," while others quietly dig into the details of permissions, signatures, and contract interactions. To put it simply, the story can be listened to, but before I place an order, I still check whether I can handle that coldness of "not being able to sell," keep my position lighter, and stay calm like hot tea that doesn't spill.
