Just got a bunch of red-dot push notifications on my phone. When I tap them, it’s not project updates—it’s links like “Limited-Time Claim Airdrop”... Lately, phishing has been really rampant, and on top of that, hardware wallets are out of stock, so it feels like everyone’s security awareness is being passively cranked up to max.

I also thought about how, in the secondary market, royalties get squeezed lower and lower. Put simply, both buyers and sellers want to pay less, but creators don’t have long-term cash flow—so in the end they can only make up for it with more aggressive sales, heavier permissions, and more elaborate storytelling, which actually makes it easier to pull newcomers into a trap. No matter how pretty the on-chain rules are, execution depends on market sentiment; once sentiment cools, everything turns into a “choice/option.”

Myself, I still go with the same thing: better to buy less and move slower—don’t click unfamiliar links just to save a little on fees, and don’t use signature pages from unknown sources... Don’t chase the dream of getting rich quick; don’t lose your coins first.
