Recently, I saw everyone arguing about secondary market royalties, essentially about whether "creators should receive a long-term share." I personally understand that creators want stable cash flow, but it's also hard to ignore the real reactions from the trading side: once royalties become a forced friction, liquidity will vote with their feet, ultimately freezing both popularity and trading volume.
Moreover, the current on-chain distribution system itself isn't exactly "fair": issues like miner/validator income, MEV front-running and ordering, and retail traders' daily complaints, all make people very sensitive to "a little being taken away during the transaction." If royalties don't have a more transparent and predictable set of rules, emotions can easily blend with these grievances.
My current approach is simple: I’d rather miss a few lively moments than chase after a market where the rules are still uncertain. Discipline first... I’m going to get to work.
