These past couple of days, I checked out the floor prices of some old NFTs, and it feels less like "they've dropped/risen" and more like liquidity is acting up: placing a bunch of orders but actual transactions are very thin. Royalties are also quite awkward; when set high, people don't want to trade, and when set low, it feels like the community narrative has no support. Honestly, when the hype cools down, royalties are like air—easily ignored.

While browsing on-chain, sometimes a single transaction gets twisted and turned, and I can understand retail traders complaining about MEV and unfair ordering... Validators are making pretty good money, but buyers' confidence is more likely to collapse. Anyway, I’ll first revoke the permissions I previously granted to the scattered sites, so that before the "narrative warms up," my wallet doesn’t get compromised.
