These days, I've been educated again by the attention economy... As I scroll through new memes and images, I get itchy to buy, while watching the popularity change every three days, repeatedly fueling the cycle. Now I've set a simple rule for myself: if I see "everyone online is talking about it," I’ll wait a night; if I still want to buy the next day, then I’ll consider it. If it's just fear of missing out, then it's probably a sign that I’m about to get cut.

The heated debate over NFT royalties is also quite real; honestly, creators want to make a living, secondary markets want liquidity, but in the end, the most anxious are those of us who get excited when we see something good. Anyway, I now prefer to spend my money on works I truly like and that I wouldn’t feel awkward using as an avatar, avoiding hot topics more often, leaving impulse buys for art, not for trending searches.
