Recently, the debate over secondary market royalties has exploded, basically everyone just wants to save on those friction costs, but creators are not just air.

For someone like me who gets blood pressure spikes at the slightest slippage, royalties are like "default slippage," you don't click confirm but it's still there, of course it feels uncomfortable... but completely zeroing it out also feels strange, in the end, no one wants to be the sucker.

What I care more about now are the "signals": whether buyers and sellers are willing to pay voluntarily, whether platforms dare to clarify the rules, and whether on-chain transactions are starting to bypass certain markets.
As for that recent narrative that combines ETF capital flows, US stock market risk appetite, and crypto price swings into one interpretation, I see it like using macroeconomics as a universal router—half of it can be explained, the other half is just emotion.
Anyway, I just want to follow the rules to avoid losses, and not let the "invisible fees" steal my profits anymore.
