If I could only keep one habit: always ask myself before placing an order, "Who exactly am I paying for?"

Recently, in the secondary market, royalties are being cut repeatedly, and creators are loudly complaining, while traders just pretend nothing's wrong, honestly everyone is fighting over the same friction cost. Royalties are essentially "forced tips"; when the market is good, you think it's reasonable, but when liquidity tightens and the floor collapses, it immediately turns into "Why should I pay for others?" Don't talk about faith, the wallet is the most honest.

What's even more awkward is that now, the "yield stacking" of staking/sharing security is also being criticized as a scam, but the logic is the same: borrowing future cash flows in advance and then relying on later participants to keep taking over the fee structure. If royalties want to last, don’t rely on moral coercion; both buyers and sellers need to feel it's worth it. Otherwise, in the end, it’s just another failed swap on the chain, with an extra layer of slippage in the mindset.
