Lately there's been a debate about whether secondary market royalties should be mandatory or not, and honestly, I'm quite conflicted. On one hand, I believe creators should have a continuous income; otherwise, everyone relies on the initial sale, and later on, they just give up; but on the other hand, if it's enforced too strictly, buyers and sellers will find ways to bypass it, ultimately reducing liquidity and dragging down the value of the works as well.
And recently, with cross-chain bridge hacks and oracle errors, everyone suddenly learns to "wait for confirmation" first... This mindset applies to NFT trading too: the more complex the rules, the higher the trust cost, and the easier it is for people to hold back. A more realistic approach might be to treat royalties as a "community consensus" that gradually develops, rather than expecting a one-size-fits-all solution. First, take a sip of coconut water, don’t FOMO into action, I need to get back to work.
