These past two days, I’ve been seeing the same fight in the secondary market about whether to “give creators royalties.” Plainly put, everyone wants to pay less and also wants their work to keep getting produced continuously. But when liquidity is poor, if a platform cancels royalties across the board, sure, it might make short-term trading look better—long term, it’s just creators lying flat, and everything else has to be propped up by people telling stories. I’m honestly not very convinced.
And look at Layer2 too—they’re comparing TPS, comparing fees, comparing subsidies, all about “who’s cheaper and faster.” In the end, it turns into users constantly relocating and moving around everywhere, like they’re “harvesting wool”… The creator economy is the same: the rules change all the time, so who’s still going to take content seriously? Anyway, I only dare to participate with small positions now. I earn a bit of stablecoin interest to keep going like it’s coffee maintenance, and I treat NFTs as a way to support the people I like—don’t expect them to replace my retirement.
