Lately I've been going through my wallet, a bunch of dust and old NFTs, the floor prices make me want to laugh... but it's also quite real: when liquidity cools down, the floor feels like walking on ice barefoot, slipping with a single step; royalties are even more awkward, when the market is bullish everyone calls for supporting creators, but when it's cold they start bypassing transactions, and community narratives also cool down.
Outside, people are talking about interest rate cut expectations, the US dollar index, and the idea that risk assets rise and fall together. Honestly, when emotions are high, everything can heat up; when emotions fade, all that's left is "Is anyone willing to buy?" Recently, I’ve lowered my goals: not aiming to double my money overnight, just picking up some floor assets that I can sell if needed, and communities that still talk. I wait patiently, which actually helps me stick around longer. Anyway, I’m just a Dust Collector, surviving by collecting fragments.
